The Great Elder Cipher Debate

Dreg's Promise

42

Queenbreakers' Bow

223

Lord of Wolves

573

Who's the better Elder Cipher Queenbreakers' Bow, Lord of Wolves or Dreg's Promise?? Reason for doing this is because I just got my first Elder Cipher and I am sure just like many others I am stuck on which to choose. So instead of me hoping that I chose the right one I am gonna let u guys battle it out for me. As of now I am leaning towards Lord and the Bow unless someone has a killer rant for the Dreg's my heart will stay split between the two. So be as brutally honest as possible have fun with it and rant yo lil thumbs out!! Love you, TheCharityCase

    • For crucible, QBB is technically better but takes more practice to use well. Lord is the best PvE shotgun in the game though.

    • Lord of Wolves is the best of the three, but Dreg's Promise is fun to use and the Queenbreaker's Bow is great for PvP.

    • If you guys haven't tried the Queenbreaker's bow in pvp I really recommend it. I'm a very mediocre sniper and I find it so easy to land headshots with it. The combination of hidden hand and the scope not "feeling" like a sniper scope make it really fun to use. It's so satisfying nailing those headshots.

        Lord of Wolves is like the bastard child between a shotgun and a pulse rifle. Imagine a pulse rifle in your secondary slot that fires five round bursts and technically is a shotgun so it does double damage in PvE. Don't be misled by the range. It's short but not *that* short. Queen Breaker's Bow should be your second. It's classed as a fusion rifle but it's essentially a low impact sniper with a massive ammo reserve (seriously, you can carry 88 rounds with no special armor mods) but with the catch that there's a charge time between each shot. So to use it effectively your target either needs to be still or you need to track as you aim. Takes some getting used to, but pretty sexy. I have Dreg's Promise but I haven't used it yet, can't really comment. By all accounts it is hard to find a good niche to use it in.

      • Voted Lord of Wolves because it is decent in pvp and pve. Queenbreaker's bow is so awesome in crucible though, just depends on if you pvp a lot, Lord of Wolves is outclassed by Matador/felwinter/party crasher

      • Lord of Wolves was one of the first exotics that made me feel giddy the first time I shot it. It is awesomely powerful and a heck of a lot of fun.

            • LoW is the only one that's actually good, rather than just fun to use.

              • LoW is currently one of the best shotguns and is def the most fun to use. QbB is slightly more fun to use but.. it's kind of garbage in practice. Takes up an exotic slot, has a charge time, and does half as much damage as an ordinary sniper. Dreg's Promise is just garbage, that's it. No upside, just garbage.

                • There is no debate, Lord of Wolves is the only good one! The bow is fun but falls flat. Dreg's promise just sucks

                    Debate was settled long ago :) Wolves is best, Queenbreaker's 2nd, and Dreg's third. Dreg's has gotten so much crap, I don't think I've ever fired mine. Then again, Thorn used to considered awful, and look at how it took over PVP after it was buffed last year, so maybe Dreg's will rock at some point. Doubt it. But, I'll keep it vaulted anyway because it's an exotic and I like to keep at least 1 of each exotic.

                    • Lord of Wolves hands down is the best choice. My second one I chose Dreg's Promise, because I know I'll get a third cipher and it'll help to get the side arm grimoire. If you don't care about the Grimoire (or need sniper kills) get the bow second.

                            • the bow is fantastic if you like using snipers and are willing to put in the time to get used to the gun, lord of wolves just does so much damage though, it wrecks shit
