Long story short, Exotic Final Warning works the same way as Titanfall’s Smart Gun. To demonstrate the power of this weapon in Crucible, Destiny Bulletin on Twitter shows a video (posted above) of the gun’s bullets aiming at targets like a hawk. This is due to the Exotic’s Pick Your Poison trait, which also grants bullets a much higher velocity and the ability to deal bonus critical hit damage on marked targets.
Then, for a tactical advantage, Follow the destination on Twitter it highlights how bullets can be fired over a shield (e.g. a Titan character’s Barricade ability) and hit an enemy without too much trouble. A YouTube user named Luckyy 10P explains this defensive strategy in more detail, calling the handgun a “game-breaker”.
While some users comment that the Final Warning may need to be nerfed or disabled in PvP in an update, some believe it actually works as intended. Players need a lot of skill to bring out the weapon’s full potential, and there are a few strategies to work around its tracking abilities. It’s still too early to tell if this Exotic needs a nerf, so we’ll see what Bungie does with the weapon in future patches for Destiny 2.
