I need to find 10 (8 actually as I had 2 already) rare or above Fusion Rifles and break them down for my Exotic bounty. Wondering where the best place to go is.
And now that I've joined the FWC do I earn exp with them at the expense of Vanguard exp or do I still get both?
I bought 7 from the gunsmith a couple of hours ago.
 
I gave up trying to RNG 7 more fusion rifles for the other exotic bounty so I bought them. Now I have to get 200 kills in the nightfall strike using only as fusion rifle. I'm a level 25. I've got 66 so far by just hiding in the first doorway and killing everything but the witch and knight then repeating. These bounties kind of suck but what else was I doing with my life?

i´m at the same stage of that bounty. soloing that nf-strike at 25 is no joke...
after you kill those first couple of thralls and acolytes, you can wait for the wizard to calm down and then sprint by him and the remaining hallowed knights into the next area. when you try to open the door the first wave consists of thralls (15-20) and you should be able to kill those with your fusion. 2nd wave adds knights and wizards and so far that´s meant back to orbit for me (sitting at 62/200 after 2 tries) :)
 
The multiplayer is so good. Especially one you find a playing style that you really like.

Yes! The multiplayer is so fun. I pick up those bounties before any of the PVE ones cause the beauty of multiplayer. Once you find your playstyle (shoulder charges/catapult tiger knees are mine) it's a blast to play.
 
There's no map because Bungie didn't put one in for some unknown reason. There should be one.

Crucible marks can be spent at the Crucible venders or the three independent faction vendors. The items you buy can be used for pve as well.

It's a good idea to max both you crucible marks and vanguard marks per week if you can. Means you could afford two legendary pieces a week instead of one. You can mix and match from any of the factions.

ok and to gain cruciable marks I have to play PVP? I hate it....
 
I would love it if Sunsinger's damage reduction perk let you survive a Nova Bomb or Titan smash.

Also First Light continues to be terrible. Anomaly would be more fun even in 12 man games.
 
Quoting for the 50ppp peoples

I found it did. I put it on level 24 ( I'm level 23), found I got more blue drops. But still takes ages to farm. I had to turn the sound off in the end, there is only so much " we have awoken the hive" I can take.

Control all day.. I don't like PVP, but this is doable.

Also, I'd like to echo what has already been stated.. Play the game, get your marks (Vanguard, Crucible and factions) purchase your legendaries, and when it comes time to upgrade your legendaries with ascendant shards(good luck farming those) you'll have to breakdown legendaries/exotics to get them... Nothing against the people who do the cave thing.. I tried it until my AR ran out of ammo, and was done with it. I don't understand how people can do this for hours.

Thanks man! I'll crank it up a bit
 
I'm so relieved so be done with the Thorn PvP part of the quest. I don't like PvP at all and just had to grind it out in Rumble with a fusion rifle and the voidwalker spec.

The multistep bounties are a great idea though I wish they kept seperate ones for PvE and PvP.

Apart from salvage (for reasons I can't really put my finger on) I really enjoy all the competitive modes. The 3 vs 3 skirmishes are particularly enjoyable. They take the utility of my defender titan and cranks it up to 11.


I wish that exotic armor could be recolored to match your shader. :(
 
Oh come the fuck on, when will this Exotic bounty end!?

Here's me thinking I had the Hand Cannon in the bag by completing the kill awoken on the Moon thing, and now I've got to... kill guardians with Void damage... and there's a penalty for death.

Why do this Bungie... why!? T_T

OTL

What the hell is a "super use" .. I used my Nova and surely did kill more than 3 more than once but it's not counting in the Bounty.


What am I doing wrong?

Did you do it 20 times?
 
Was playing crucible yesterday and this guy at the other team went insane with the fusion rifle, at which point I just said fuck it and equipped mine. Had never used it in crucible before, and OH MY GOD. I will never stop.

#teamrangedshotgun

Fusion rifle is all I use, but there are a lot of maps that are just better for shotgun and I will get killed by it non stop. I am bad though so there is that.

Wait til you're on the last step like me and can't get people to join you lol. The step after the void damage kills involves doing a special level 26 version of Summoning Pits. Gotta kill the adds around the boss until Xyor spawns then kill him x.x

OMG wtf there's more after that and it's a level 26 strike of my most hated strike to!?

I"m ready for the final raid boss

This fucking cave on Earth. Everyone else gets Legendaries, I get a bunch of blue and green shit.

Same here. And everybody I have farmed it with (about 6 people) nobody has gotten a legendary.


For people playing the weekly strike at level 22. I cant beat the first big room. Too many wizards! Any advice?
 
You could get vanguard rep + marks and get guaranteed legendaries but hey that's just me talking here since farming is a waste of time in my eyes.

I will go with that.

Now I'm not sure about whether I should start a new game with a Titan, or continue with my Hunter. The Titan stuff looks so much cooler to me, and I assume this character will probably transfer to the expansions and perhaps even the following Destiny games? If so, I'd like to go with the one I think looks the cooler :P

Backtrack through the corridor you came in from, and use that to take out the wizards one by one. They can't follow you all the way to the other entrance, they will just float in that corridor where you can shoot them.
 
Got my first legendary engram drop last night, playing with Weremichael. It turned into an exotic chest piece for another class. I threw it into the vault. Before logging off for the night, I finally hit Vanguard level 2 and bought my first legendary armor piece which nudged me up to light level 24.

I guess I'll switch over to mostly strikes from running a ton of patrols for rep to earn more marks to finish my starter legendary armor set, unless I get lucky and RNGesus favors me. Hopefully, I'll enough strange coins by next weekend to profit from Xur.

Tried to do it last night with 2 24's and a 23.

We got rolled. Didn't even feel possible. I just watched video of a way to do it without ever entering the room but we probably died 10-20 time before we gave up. It is hard to shoot phogoth with 7-8 yellow wizard and knights all swarming your shit!

As for the room with the 3 runes to unlock it took us quite a few tries too. We had to hang out around the entrance we can in and back out to the previous room on occasion. Be careful though. We were getting attacked by a knight and a wizard from that room at the same time so we took them out right away so we had a place to retreat to.
 
Got me another Legendary Engram which turned out to be Legendary leg armor. Too bad I was already wearing Legendary leg armor. Into the vault it went
 
Sooooooooo I've got a SECOND exotic bounty. Yeah cool and all but God damn do they take a long time.

Just completed both of the ones I got yesterday and both of the guns are sorta disappointing. Pocket infinity isn't nearly as useful as the 77 Wizard I was using, and Bad Juju has such a low amount of bullets that even with instant reloading on kills you may be reloading it manually very often.
 
i´m at the same stage of that bounty. soloing that nf-strike at 25 is no joke...

Sounds like exactly what I did. I would get around 20 kills a run... I just finished it a few hours ago.
 
Destiny has been a huge emotional roller coaster for me I can't decide if I love it or hate it. But I still keep playing!

I have a question for DestinyGAF on Xbox One.
Does anyone notice the subtle lag between Dinklebot's comments and actual events?

The most noticable one for me is when heading down to the moon strike and you hear him say "Sounds like where getting close." then seconds later you hear a huge bellow from the boss below. Shouln't his comment have come after the scream?
My theory was that some game elements may have been skewred when they ported it to Xbox One.
 
OT4 page 49.. 10 days.

I'm confused because everyone keeps telling me this game is shit.

For the record, this game is pure god damn sex.

Got 2 exotics last night and can only wear 1, first reef problems :(
