ATS/8 Arachnid 2.0 [BUFFED]! Implications and Ridiculous Possibilities!
Hope you enjoy :) I finally got the Elgato so put up 1080p video, and just upgraded to a new PC!
The Year 2 version of this Exotic Helm provides a 30% boost to the Golden Gun's Duration, bringing it up to 15.60 seconds. This ALONE is enough to merit an exotic slot. The Zoom Multiplier is just an added bonus.
Btw, Zoom, in general, increases range. All weapons can increase their damage down-range with extra zoom multipliers, including the Golden Gun Super w/the Arachnid. If you play on the giant maps like I do, ppl can survive your GG Shots, and from crazy ranges, it's pretty easy to miss. This video has a few clips on the MASSIVE maps to show how much fun it is to snipe with this Helm.
The Achlyophage Symbiote proved how important duration was. ~8.4 second duration on the Golden Gun, it's significantly harder to time your Super for consistent performance. This has been reversed in the April Update, which will bring it back up into the Top Tier. (Just found this out, will add annotation to the video)

5 RepliesWait... the duration of golden gun while wearing Achlyophage Symbiote has been brought back up?! I must have read this post wrong... can somebody please confirm this?

4 RepliesI still won't use it. 2ugly4me

3 RepliesBut it looks ugly as shite :'(

1 ReplyOh, that's actually a pretty decent exotic now. The Arachnid is the only exotic that I dismantled without having a second (back before you could just buy them from the kiosk, of course).
-
1 ReplyI'll be keeping it if I find one. I'd like to wear the helmet and chestpiece together for a crazy light show but alas, it is not possible...
-
31 RepliesAnd people complain about the time stormtrance lasts ... pfft.

2 RepliesThanks for this PSA. I completely ignored the Y2 version of this helmet because of how bad the Y1 version was. Definitely will have to give this one a shot.

1 ReplyEdited by Eclipse: 4/16/2016 6:45:05 PMThey also changed Dead Eye perk on Gunslinger. The Aim assist is WAY high now. The cursor moves like a slug when over someone. I actually don't like it, but I suppose some will enjoy the million aim assist.

1 ReplyGood stuff. Subbed.

4 RepliesThis was a very stupid buff. As if gg was not op enough
-
5 RepliesThey also fixed the Nothing Manacles for voidwalker in this update. It's good again.
-
Uses it in trials for the first time and got a triple kill off the bat. Cool exotic
-
10 RepliesWhy do you put 2500$ why would you even say how much you spent on your pc? Seems odd..
-
That kill at 2:15 was pretty funny. Nice video. I might actually try out the arachnid helmet now that it isn't utter shit.
-
3 RepliesI used to rock the arachnid in Y1 with my scarf (no cloak). Looked cool as hell with sunsetting shader.

Never got this beaut out of six exotic helmet engrams back then. :( Can't wait for this to drop and thank you for the showcase! (That blue bastard)

4 RepliesHey I'm from the future, this will get nerfed *opens portal and leaves*

12 RepliesI'm sorry but i clicked away the vid as soon as you said "you can counter snipers"

6 RepliesEdited by TheKumarEffect: 4/16/2016 7:51:09 AMIt's good but usually you want stuff that effects your Melee's, grenades, jump and fast revives because those are available every 30 seconds or less while a super you get 2-3 times a game
-
3 RepliesVery informative and it adds variety which is the spice of life. Good video man.

1 ReplyStill sucks ass. Atleast you tried, and failed horribly.
