Destiny 2's The Witch Queen has been received with overwhelmingly positive comments from the community, and its content has been out for only one month. Among the reasons for the expansion's success is the fact that the Legendary campaign for The Witch Queen was very challenging and rewarding on launch, making it a milestone for future releases. Destiny 2's new weapon crafting system is also a big part of what makes The Witch Queen so unique, and while it was regarded as flawed upon launch, the general opinion for it is improving as players get to experiment more with their weapons.
A huge problem for many Destiny 2 fans was that unlocking weapon patterns was a chore, as the only way to do that was to obtain multiple copies of a given weapon that also had Deepsight Resonance. This still holds true, but the grind has been made easier with increased drop rates for those pesky red-border weapons. This change combines perfectly with the fact that more and more players are now getting their crafting materials as time passes, making weapon crafting more accessible.
A Destiny 2 player posted a video on Reddit showcasing their crafted roll for Fel Taradiddle, one of the Throne World weapons from The Witch Queen, which is only available through runs of The Wellspring activity. Because Fel Taradiddle is a Lightweight Frame Kinetic bow, it comes with a decent draw time speed compared to another popular bow from Season of the Risen, called Under Your Skin. Combining the weapon's base draw time with a Draw Time Masterwork, Enhanced Archer's Tempo, and Enhanced Successful Warm-Up, players can shoot arrows at insane speeds.
The Reddit user, called TheSoulChainer, stated that their ideal roll comprises Polymer String for additional draw time and accuracy, Fiberglass Arrow Shaft for a further boost to accuracy, and Freehand Grip as a mod. This combo makes Fel Taradiddle even faster than the previous fastest bow in the game, Hush. Hush has always been a fan favorite weapon in Destiny 2, and it rolled with the exclusive perk called Archer's Gambit and Opening Shot, making it extremely accurate and fast when firing it from the hip and hitting headshots. As such, the new Fel Taradiddle is rapidly becoming increasingly popular, and for a good reason.
For players willing to replicate the craft, it's worth noting that Destiny 2 will be getting rid of specific weapon crafting materials next Season, including the various secondary materials required for each perk. Ascendant Alloys and Neutral Elements will stay, however, and they will remain the most difficult to come by. Still, this roll of Fel Taradiddle is sure to be one that's worth investing in, especially for those nostalgic about Hush being sunset.
Destiny 2 is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
