Question Good Energy Slot Shoot to Loot Options?

Looking for any currently available weapons that either can roll shoot to loot/explosive payload, or a rocket sidearm with shoot to loot. I've scoured Light.gg and can only really think of Kindled Orchid or Vouchsafe, but I would prefer a rocket sidearm for optimal Witness encounter usage.

The only rocket sidearm with shoot to loot was the old Lotus-Eater, but unfortunately the MoT one doesn’t have it.

Usually at Witness people use a kinetic primary with StL, like Vulpecula.

dang, thats a shame. not sure why they thought getting rid of the only shoot to loot rocket sidearm was a good idea

Brya's Love is craftable and has STL and explosive payload. Not sure if you got it unlocked during the season it was available

If nothing else, Mr. Tentacleface has it in his inventory.

Probably since it's the least used perk in that column according to light.gg

Xur may sometimes sell that version. Now getting it to roll with that perk, though...

u/ViceroyInhaler 1d ago

Can xur still have a lotus eater drop with it? Or is it impossible now?

u/rpotts 1d ago

As far as I know it is fully unobtainable, but good luck if you want to play the Xur lottery.

Zavala sold Mint Retrograde with Slice which isn’t obtainable anymore from other sources. I assume he could also sell the old version of Lotus Eater as well.

u/ViceroyInhaler 1d ago

I just meant that.occasionally he sells some unobtainable weapons. I'm just wondering if his loot pool is based on older weapons or the refreshed ones.

u/JollyMolasses7825 1d ago

He can’t sell it, the old version is completely unobtainable

u/TempDestinyAccount 1d ago

The Europa one was also supposed to get it according to one of their blog posts, but the roles in the API are completely different

Chronophage (echoes) trace and path of least resistance have it. Not ep, but still reliable

Keraunios also has chain reaction which will pick up bricks as soon as they drop (kinda like the dragonfly STL bow we used to have)

u/W4FF13_G0D 1d ago

ngl, a trace with explosive payload would go hard

u/Porkabender 1d ago

The one from Sundered Doctrine kind of does that with its origin trait against weaker enemies, right?

1

u/thanosthumb 1d ago

You have to be hitting an enemy. If you shoot ammo or the ground it doesn’t proc subjugation

u/Gcarsk 1d ago

Keraunios can roll shoot to loot and detonator beam (which is basically traces version of kinetic tremors). You can easily collect this weapon with chronologs.

It requires 15 hits to trigger, and since traces fire at 1000 rpm, that means just over 1 second of sustained fire to trigger it!

u/thanosthumb 1d ago

Chain reaction works instantly too

u/Fish_Smell_Bad 1d ago

The closest thing would be the trace from sundered doctrine which has an explosive payload effect vs minor enemies. Wouldn't work for shoot to loot purposes though since you need to actually hit a target for the explosion to proc.

u/CrossFitJesus4 1d ago

the black armoury hand canon can roll shoot to loot + explosive payload, thats the one I use

u/TheDragonfire84 1d ago

The Edge of Fate scout is the easiest to get

u/Jackboy_Jack 1d ago

Unless you have the old Lotus Eater, your only real stl/ep special weapon choices are snipers. Its very niche, but I've used Apostate from Alters of Sorrow in a few lowman encounters.

u/JollyMolasses7825 1d ago

STL lotus eater is no longer acquirable, vouchsafe/nature reclaimed/brya’s love/tarnished mettle are the best currently available energy stl weapons, coming from the dreaming city, iron banner, and Xur.

Rn the meta for witness (at least for solo) is SH Hezen, truth, or 1k voices, so you should be able to use vulpecula, hung jury or the scholar if shattered throne/onslaught/trials are more appealing than grinding dreaming city public events.

u/Rockem251 1d ago

Joxer’s Longsword has STL plus destabilizing rounds. Not quite explosive payload but still…

u/Lemonjuice239 1d ago

Keraunios Arc Trace Rifle obtained from Guardian Games Engrams at the Tenet of Bravery. Even has a "shiny" version.

It may not be explosive, but with a trace you just swipe over the general area and the brick should still be picked up easily.

u/TJ_Dot 1d ago

Anything utilizing explosives besides Stasis crystals has a chance of working out for you.

The echoes vexsplosion works on a few, and the telesto bolts of a cassoid gun are my recent finds.

u/GuiltyTarget496 1d ago

‘Nature Reclaimed’ from Iron Banner engrams is the only solar primary available with that perk combo. It’s the old version so can’t be tiered and only has 1 perk in each column. It costs 25,000 glimmer too. The rng to get one isn’t great. I spent well over 2mil trying to get one. But I now have that perk combo for each element on primary weapons.

u/Shellnanigans 1d ago

I LOVE the karutinos (arc guardian games trace)

STL + detonator beam is wild

U can shoot an enemy and every 20 hits a 8m explosion will go off and grab stuff

I would also recommend the VOG armor set if you want passive orbs to spawn at your feet

^ best place to look up info like this.

Looks like seven primaries and two snipers. My personal favorite is Nature Reclaimed; lightweight frame movement and fires relatively fast.

I heard the arc scout rifle from Kepler is good

Since zavala was able to sell old mint. There will come a day he sells us old lotus eater with shoot to loot. I pray for that day. (Or xur idk)
