No Ammo? No Problem.

This week for the engram review… more exotic purple gauntlets! It’s about time we show some love to the titan class and talk about the No Backup Plans. These exotic gauntlets are very unique but are very subclass specific at least when it comes to the exotic perk.

Force Multiplier: Shotgun kills trigger Force Barrier and Force Barrier’s duration is increased.

Pretty simple, just know that your melee ability must be charged for this exotic perk to work.

PvP:

Force barrier on a shotgun kill allows for you to rack up kills while shielded, because who doesn’t want an overshield while warrioring?!
Reroll with glass needles to get the stats and perks you want for your loadout in regards to weapon reload and Int, Disc, and Str.
Can help you stay alive to protect that killstreak or allow you to be an armored glowing killing machine.

PvE:

I would imagine these would be more useful in a strike against low level mob enemies, get a kill with shotgun, get shield, kill all the aliens.
Force Barrier can help save your life to go rez a downed ally in a strike or normal mode raid.
Probably not the best option for PvE, but not a bad one either

Another well rounded and multi-functional exotic armor piece. No Backup Plans should be something to have in your inventory whether you are looking to try a fun new loadout or cause some damage while glowing purple like a true badass. These gauntlets can be earned anywhere RNG exotics drop and Xur sells them occasionally as well.
