Most people know about the absolutely cracked crafted weapons like Ikelos SMG w/ Feeding Frenzy Voltshot.

What are some lesser known crafted weapons you think people should know about or that you just find to be super fun to use?


Mine would be Smite of Merain (King’s Fall Pulse Rifle). It’s such a solid weapon that I never see. I use Stats for All/One for All which is a great combo to have in endgame content.

The other one I don’t see a lot of is Throne Cleaver (Titan class sword). I was able to craft one with Incandescent and damn does it feel great to slam into a group of enemies and watch them go boom.

    Melee kills won’t proc either of those, but that hasn’t mattered much in my experience (at least when using my Osmiomancy build). However, the Extrovert origin trait does proc from melee kills after a patch a few seasons back, so you do get a nice boost to survivability when dealing with lots of enemies.

    I won’t go into all the details unless you’re interested, but the way my Osmiomancy build plays, Demolitionist primarily works as an easy way to reload, with the secondary function of helping me get my grenade back if I completely whiff a throw. Otherwise, I prioritize throwing Coldsnap grenades directly at the largest targets I can find to refund the most grenade energy possible. You should pretty much be able to throw grenades as often as you want (assuming there are enemies to freeze), and it’s unbelievably satisfying to shatter a huge group with a glaive melee.

    Also of note, Demolitionist on glaives got buffed this season, so even without the enhanced version of the perk, you should be getting 20% of your grenade back for every kill.

      Thanks for the run-down. I’ve tried an osmiomancy turret build several times and just could never really get the hang of the loop, mostly because I’m just bad with fusion rifles. Hadn’t considered using a glaive. Appreciate the info!
