Recently I started playing as a Titan more, and I got the exotic AR Sweet Business (and finished the catalyst quest) and the exotic chest piece Actium War Rig, and I thought I'd pair them up in the Crucible (Iron Banner, actually) to see how they do.
For those who might not be familiar with these exotics, Sweet Business is like a minigun that is quite slow to reload when empty, but the Actium War Rig solves that by constantly loading your AR or Machinegun. Sweet Business with the catalyst installed seriously reduces flinch from incoming fire, so you get a stable bullet hose.
So I went into Crucible and just started walking and firing non-stop like an idiot, and it was stupidly effective. Especially at choke points, Sweet Business just chewed through Guardians. Of course, I got killed eventually (and then doing the same thing again when I respawned), but I laughed myself hoarse at how funny it was walking around like the Terminator just blasting away with no skill or strategy.
I only did it for a few matches because there's a limit to how much a cheap stunt will amuse me, plus I'm sure it must have royally peeved all the other Guardians on the other teams to hear the non-stop whine of Sweet Business as I dominated the match with a dumb trick. Maybe it works, but it was just too much like trolling, and we have enough things in the game right now to annoy players without me being one.
But in the interests of levity, has anyone else done something dumb or hair-brained with combinations of equipment/strategies that turned out to be effective?
Cheers all.

Sweet Business + Lion Rampants Attack Helicopter

Edited by michael: 5/21/2020 1:16:27 AMGood against clueless people. Its like people in csgo who are silver and think the Negev is good. Any half decent player can play around it with the simple thought process of “are bullets being spammed around this corner: yes/no. Yes = don’t walk around the corner”.

Back in D1 days in Mayhem I had so much fun spamming tripmines with young Ahamkara gauntlets. I could toss eight of them before the first one would explode. Or using titan and suppressor grenades with the artifact that speeds up grenade generation but takes away your super. That was so much fun to use in mayhem.

Go into a match of control with a stacked team of bubble titans all using sweet business. Watch the other team leave 3 minutes into the match. Lol, fun times.

I did that a couple of Iron Banners ago. Got the best hate mail of my life.
-
I just use Mountain Top, Claws of the Wolf with full auto perk and a sword. People never expect the sword ...
-
I sometimes use the chaperone top tree dawnblade and sunbracers with high strength. Hit them with the chaperone melee them and then just spam infinite grenades.

Playing a warlock in crucible: the stupidest decision I ever made
-
Thanks to everyone who responded. I really enjoyed your comments.

100 resilience for a 14 second barricade cooldown and khepris horn on a titan. Endless amusement
-
I saw someone doing that. Died once and then just retreated every time I heard it spinning up. The racket it makes is its one drawback 😂
-
Titans shoulder charge is the cheapest thing in the game and now combine that with every titan using a shotgun or this exact setup. Every game more and more titans are running this. But I’ll take this cheap setup over y’all’s bulllshit shoulder charge any day
-
Know the feeling, I ran around with a shotgun aping to get the kills for the now bugged Lie quest. Did pretty good. Recently acquired Mindbenders with a range MW... Wow, was done with that step in no time. Slide, shoot, repeat... Just felt wrong.

Not really 'stupid' or 'trolling'. Sweet Business is a good weapon. It just requires a very different playstyle that most players aren't fond of. Real trolls go in with 6 Rat Kings.
-
I main Hunter so no on the war rigs, however i do get crazy joy from firing that thing nonstop like a total dumbass. There's something entertaining about firing 150 bullets needlessly to get one kill 👍
-
Traveler’s chosen(Damaged) is an underrated gun.
-
I just own a hunter but with this AR (or MG if you want to say so) and a 10s cool down for Auto reloading i had also a really good time. Lately I like to use rat king with graviton forfeit, combined with hunter mobility it’s just so much fun jumping around and killing people like a ghost :D
-
Yep old news , always cringe when I hear the wind up of SB.
-
As someone who avoids PVP like the plague but is forced to do it for that Xur quest I like this idea. I think I've got everything you mentioned (SB, catalyst, War Rig) so will give it a try.
