Fractethyst vs Riiswalker: Which Shotgun Is Better?

Fractethyst vs Riiswalker: Which Shotgun Is Better?

Join my Patreon for exclusive content! https://www.patreon.com/pattycakesGG

In Season of the Lost we have a few new shotguns to evaluate that challenge the current best in slot options in the meta. One of the new ones is the Fractethyst which is in the kinetic slot and can roll with Opening Shot AND Quickdraw – any elite perk combination for shotguns.

In this video, we look at the potential rolls of Fractethyst and compare how it stacks up against the Riiswalker from the Iron Banner, another top tier shotgun in the Kinetic slot.

    Felwinters is still the king for pellet shotties in terms of range



  2. Sooperdurp on October 27, 2021 at 5:25 pm

    errmm rando but what hand cannon is that?



  3. A Kanji on October 27, 2021 at 5:26 pm

    So the lightweight frame doesn’t just give you extra movement speed, it literally buffs your dodge cooldown?



  4. Edims M on October 27, 2021 at 5:26 pm

    fracthethyst really feels god but i dont think its really good



  5. Devil0027 on October 27, 2021 at 5:27 pm

    Once i landed a Frac with FC, assault mag, quick draw, opening shot, with range master work… i let go of trying to get a perfect Riis Walker. Plus lightweights seem so inconsistent for me



  6. RadiationCookie on October 27, 2021 at 5:28 pm

    got a fractal with full choke, assault mag, quick draw and opening shot. it dominates 100% of close ingagements on most maps against most players



  7. Matthew De Waal on October 27, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    Wtf is ur heavy pick up????



  8. Matias Urzua on October 27, 2021 at 5:30 pm

    I got the fract god roll and damn it is worth the farming
    Full choke, accurized rounds, quickdraw and opening shot



  9. Astro 514 on October 27, 2021 at 5:30 pm

    What’s your take on eye of the storm perk for Riiswalker? any testing done?



  10. BeanBoy420 on October 27, 2021 at 5:30 pm

    I have the fractethyst, and i have used it in crucible. Idk whats going on but it does like 12 damage on a headshot sometimes.
    Very disappointed with crucible at the moment, seeing as im getting put in to games way above my skill level.



  11. SlorbOnMyKnorb on October 27, 2021 at 5:32 pm

    I’ve tested both godrolls, with full choke accurized rounds, with handling first traits, and on riis- iron reach, and fractal, opening shot, and i’ve had much more consistency with riiswalker, both have range mw’s, personally riiswalker brings just about the same range for a one shot kill, and lets you have a faster followup shot, and the lightweight bonus, fractal personally just does not bring enough to the table to make up what riiswalker can do.



  12. Cameron Wannamaker on October 27, 2021 at 5:33 pm

    remove special in crucible🤢



  13. InsertNameHere on October 27, 2021 at 5:33 pm

    I need some good shotguns in my second slot cause I don’t want to give up playing Monte Carlo, and secondary shotty recommendations?



  14. TracyVanguard 1 on October 27, 2021 at 5:33 pm

    Does opening shot only apply if the weapon with opening shot fires first or is it fine to start with another and switch to the opening shot?



  15. Chris Lopez on October 27, 2021 at 5:35 pm

    Me: "so avoid lead from gold and dual loader"
    My fractethyst with full choke, accurized rounds, opening shot, and range masterwork : "I think I’ll roll both of those perks in the third column"



  16. GhostOfGhoul on October 27, 2021 at 5:35 pm

    what website is that you use 5:57?



  17. UXInfiniteZ on October 27, 2021 at 5:36 pm

    slideshot opening shot fullchoke accurized + dragons shadow with maximum mobility with utility kick start for infinite dragons shadow buff which gives max handling snapshoy + turns all weapons into lightweight frame for ez wins



  18. RadiationCookie on October 27, 2021 at 5:38 pm

    you should do a vid comparing NF and Lunas in 2021, both are sunset and are the same gun so it’d be funny



  19. Austin K on October 27, 2021 at 5:42 pm

    Fullchoke with slideshot mitigates the nerf



  20. ok cool on October 27, 2021 at 5:45 pm

    why do people still go for full choke? genuinely curious. seems to do little-to-nothing for me, and since they changed shotguns so that there’s no range boost for ADSing, i hardly even ADS my shotgun anymore. seems like the increased handling from barrel shroud or corkscrew are way more useful, especially after the quickdraw nerf



  21. rojohn dawkins on October 27, 2021 at 5:46 pm

    I got a god roll Riiswalker on my first try



  22. Naomi Uyama on October 27, 2021 at 5:49 pm

    Had a thousand iron banner tokens ready to turn in. Not a single riis



  23. Fitted Pirate on October 27, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    How does slideways affect the new slide penalties? Riiswalker can come with slideways



  24. P2oweR on October 27, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    can u try found verdict i have a feeling that found verdict might be the best shotgun in the game right now. try fullchoke/assault mag/surplus or slideshot/opening shot @pattycakes gaming



  25. Axis Ninja on October 27, 2021 at 5:53 pm

    Already got QuickDraw and iron reach with assault mag I believe it was



  26. squid_pie 087 on October 27, 2021 at 5:53 pm

    im so happy i got on my second riiswalker full choke, assault mag, quick draw, iron reach and a range masterwork😁



  27. Mason Fries on October 27, 2021 at 5:55 pm

    Honestly, I find the Fractal to be *less* consistent up close than lightweight frames because of that mobility boost the lightweights have. Closing the distance to get into oneshot range faster seems more effective in practice than simply having a little more range for said distance. Although, that conclusion might be different if I had a mobility based build – as I usually play a Hammer Titan with a focus on Res, Rec, and Dis. so my mobility is a 2 or 3 at the best of times. We’re I to be playing with a maxed out mobility, I guess the range boost would make more sense.



  28. A Kanji on October 27, 2021 at 5:55 pm

    I have a riis with eye of the storm and iron reach… eye of the storm comes into effect way more that you’d expect and is essentially QuickDraw and the accuracy buff helps land all your pellets easier



  29. Austin K on October 27, 2021 at 5:56 pm

    Riiswalker vs ss cqc



  30. paiN on October 27, 2021 at 5:57 pm

    I must have focused like 200-300 umbrals by now and haven’t gotten a single qd+os frac, just baffles me rofl



  31. Pattycakes Gaming on October 27, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    Have you tried the new Fractethyst yet?

    Watch this next: Did Vex Just Become The Best Primary Weapon? https://youtu.be/eiLjWHRqMh4



  32. Katyusha on October 27, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    I like dual loader opening shot on fractal



  33. Lord of Archons on October 27, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    Fractethyst for PvE cause it matches my stasis well build

    Riskwalker for PvP cause I got the god roll of slide shot and iron reach



  34. Darnell Mcgarity on October 27, 2021 at 6:00 pm

    I have a slide ways iron reach riis and it’s perfect



  35. NorbbaMan on October 27, 2021 at 6:01 pm

    Which shotgun is better yall Ask? Answer : neither. Get good get heritage



  36. Matthew Jernigan on October 27, 2021 at 6:01 pm

    Firmly planted on the riizy is great for counteracting the recent slide nerf



  37. Graham on October 27, 2021 at 6:01 pm

    i have a quickdraw/harmony and it feels REALLY good. wish i could get a good opening shot roll though.



  38. XD L3m0n on October 27, 2021 at 6:03 pm

    what happened to the dreaming city shotgun?



  39. DEWROD96 on October 27, 2021 at 6:03 pm

    I’ll admit, I’ve been tearing my hair out over which shotgun to chase between Riiswalker and Fractethyst in PVP. Both have strengths and weaknesses between each other. It’s dead even from what I’ve seen so far through various opinions so far.



  40. ChumblesMumbles on October 27, 2021 at 6:06 pm

    Added bonus – the fractal counts as "stasis kills" for any of those annoying Europa quests including the weekly bounty to "kill x combatants with stasis" which is much faster than just having to rely on your stasis abilities to complete it.



  41. KneeCappinNinja on October 27, 2021 at 6:08 pm

    Full auto makes the shotgun have less effective range – well learned with the Dusk Rock Blues



  42. Greendude0101 on October 27, 2021 at 6:09 pm

    Why would a precision frame have wider spread than a lightweight? That just doesn’t make sense.



  43. Glacial winds on October 27, 2021 at 6:14 pm

    I know this is a longshot but im looking for a video somebody made about d2 shotguns and the video title photo was a literal monkey from planet of the apes holding a shotgun from d2
    I can’t find the video anywhere but it’s very important I find this photo



  44. Joseph Blackmore on October 27, 2021 at 6:15 pm

    It’s definitely not 50% the Canis Major is like 75/25



  45. Autumn Leaf on October 27, 2021 at 6:15 pm

    Picked up a 5/5 Riiswalker on my 5th one last season. Full choke/rifled, accurized/assault with QuickDraw Iron Reach. Truly god tier



  46. FujiwaraDF PS4 on October 27, 2021 at 6:15 pm

    Where is he in here 5:58? Is that a app in PC?



  47. Disgruntled Coffee Worker on October 27, 2021 at 6:17 pm

    I’d have to say. Ris have given me smoother and highee ratio of pvp kills vs fract



  48. Bootychu79 on October 27, 2021 at 6:19 pm

    Blasphemer?



  49. Surf3rShadow on October 27, 2021 at 6:19 pm

    In my opinion Riiswalker is better, i got a slideways and iron reach roll. It’s deadly in pvp. I got it as my 1st iron banner weapon, as i am a new player.



  50. Clearycolin3011 on October 27, 2021 at 6:21 pm

    Just got a riiswalker with iron reach
