The Taken King has been out a few weeks now, and you have had some time to earn new weapons and give them a spin in Crucible. What weapons have started to emerge as your new favorites?

Red Death is #1 now that TLW and Thorn have taken a seat. It's the best gun for EVERYTHING in the game (outside of malice on daughters and oryx) Hawkmoon is still viable but feels meh for an exotic. The raid sniper or anitomy suit my sniper needs since I don't have a longview slr10 on any of my stares. Ruin Wake is awesome since I can't get my hands on a raid lmg. Not a fan of RL's any more but anything with high velocity/br and Horseshoes will do (see FWC RL) I am amazed by how terrible the base stats are on most legendary primary weapons - there aren't many options out there, but the Villainy from FWC is pretty incredible for an "off the shelf" weapon. I also received an Eyasluna the other day and it's probably the best legendary HC I've tested so far. Last Extremity is also a pretty bomb off the shelf scout rifle and the low stability isn't really an issue with the RoF and those 3 shots are tasty. I'm not a fan of auto rifles so I don't have much knowledgeable input there (though I've heard Red Specter is awesome) Conspiracy theory is an incredible shotgun from the vanguard nightfall quest. The chaperone is absolutely insane in the right hands (Great wep design for an exotic here) I don't have enough experience with fusion rifles to comment but I'm reallllllly looking forward to testing this Thesan from the gunsmith!!!! Holy wall of text. Hopefully there's a little something for everyone in there.
