Been using Strange Suspect (legendary pulse rifle) in PVP and it kicks ass.
It has a perk that the last half of the magazine does bonus damage. I take down people pretty fast but still I'm not sure if that has an effect in PVP. But still, this thing is amazing and made me switch from the scout rifle.
But I really want a legendary or exotic scout

 

[EL CUCO]

I think I'll try the raid again at lvl 29. Not like I have choice really. Gotta get that raid armor.

And where would one find this Raid armor?

 

[cilonen]

Praise RNGeesus. I got The Icebreaker exotic sniper from a legendary engram, I wasn't expecting anything good,

Should I use

Golden Gun on the adds instead of the Oracles

?

Yes!!! Yes yes yes!!!!!

Spoiler

try it with two hunters instead so you can piggyback the orbs when you are doing the relic run. The key point is to take out the Minotaur since he cause the most trouble. As long as you teams hottie oracles you will be good

 

[todahawk]

From what I've heard, sounds like the factions are PvP-focused. Is that correct? I play PvE pretty much exclusively at this point and only drop into Crucible if someone on my team wants to play.

Hmmm, I play a good mix of both and I got FWC up to level 3 and got a random legendary weapon, a handcannon that's ok. I bought legendary booties and chest armor from the faction and i had two of each to pick from. I picked the ones that gave me bonuses that aligned with the weapons I tend to use the most. Bonus ammo for auto rifles from the slippers and bonus ammo for shotties from my chest armor. two bonuses on each but those are the two i can remember.

fwiw i'd check out each vendor and get an idea of what they have and see how it fits with your playstyle. i don't know how much the stock updates though.

 

[TheOMan]

That red ain't a dye.

I said wow.

 

[Union Carbine]

20% more exp/rep gain for the week, I believe.

Increased XP gains until the weekly reset.

+20% all XP (weapon/character) and +20% Reputation (any faction) until the next weekly reset.

Wow. That's nice. Is it doable at 25 or too early? I'd guess, to get maximum impact, you want to run that strike first thing after the reset.

So does it take over crucible rep, vanguard rep or both?

 

[everyday math]

And where would one find this Raid armor?

In the raid.

 

[Maybesew]

I'm worjing on the exotic bounty that requires dismantling 10 fusion rifles. I'm guessing the best place to try and farm these is the treasure cave?

 

[Hawkian]

Doubtful, especially with randoms D/C's starting to crop up, that would make people rage even more...can't see it happening.

oh man I didn't mean that you should lose the chance if you die or D/C! i'm not a sadist. merely that you shouldn't get to reroll the mission you have to do. it could just be decided upon getting the ticket rather than a roll each time you leave orbit.

Wow. That's nice. Is it doable at 25 or too early? I'd guess, to get maximum impact, you want to run that strike first thing after the reset.

Wallach, Arken and I ran it last night (Arky at 25, us 27) and he died plenty but we did juuust fine. It was a blast. And yeah, you especially want to run it before you run the Weekly Heroic Strike and Daily Heroic Story, which give out big Rep bonuses

 

[Mindlog]

adds
The regular portal group should be able to kill oracles without any problem if the adds are dead. If the relic holder misses or doesn't kill adds fast enough it could get them killed and that wipes the whole raid.

 

[Footos22]

You are full

Sometimes the gunsmith sells rare fusion rifles. Just keep checking

If you can persevere and take a while, it's doable at 25.

GG is a waste on oracles, use a fusion rifle on those. One FR burst, plus a shot or two from the other players regular gun with kill them easily.

Cryptarch finally took mercy on me. Three purples turned into two Hunter pieces and a Titan piece.

Thank you based Cryptarch for not trolling me today.

Gunsmith occasionally stocks them too. I picked up two last weekend in case.

In the words of Cartman, "screw you guys, I'm going home (to play Destiny)."

 

[todahawk]

So does it take over crucible rep, vanguard rep or both?

when you're wearing your faction bond you only gain faction rep and it takes over both. you'll receive no rep for crucible or vanguard during that time but you'll still gain marks for either.

also, there is a 200 mark hard cap for vanguard. I'm essentially losing marks until i can get vanguard leveled up because i went faction early. hope that's not too confusing.

 

[MaGlock]

Thread moves so fast. Anyone up for queens wrath kill order missions? X1 Lvl 24 GT: PFI DeeZy

 

[Blue Ninja]

Dammit, I complete two Public Events before I notice the bounty to complete three. I complete two more, and now a third just won't fucking trigger.

Oh well, tomorrow. I've still got a Queen token, that'll be valid tomorrow too, right?

I've checked like every hour for the last 15 hours ;_; i want pocket infinity so bad

I know about the mark limit, just wasn't sure if faction took over both. Guess I should get vanguard to rank 2 before switching to a faction. I have crucible at rank 3. I'm guessing leveling in the factions is just as slow and you need to be rank 3 to buy weapons?

Nice. I've got no problem with dying. I'll have to jump into the fray next time a spot opens up.

I'd also recommend others to start stashing rare fusion rifles for whenever they need to do that bounty.

Someone please do the Nightfall strike with me tonight! I didn't do last weeks either. I just hit 27 last night and I'm really excited to try it. PSN is KINGofCRA5H-

In the raid.

Hmmm...it all makes sense now. Lol

Spoiler

I thought you meant you needed Raid specific gear to complete the Raid effectively...I'll see my way out now.

 

[ethomaz]

Are the rewards for the queens missions any different today?

It is the easiest way to get Ascendants Shards yet.

I've been checking all the time over the last few days. I'm up to 6, 4 more to go!

 

[MrDaravon]

Game won't stop giving me the same 3 Exotic Bounties (Invective, Bad Juju, Thorn). Actually getting annoyed at this point since the only one of the three I want is the Invective and I already have it. Doing the Thorn one because why not, worst case I can just break it down for parts. But what's the trick to getting the void damage kills? I don't have a primary that has Void on it. Just play it safe with a Void shotgun and heavy weapon?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Is it silly that even though the Queen's Helm that I got yesterday has the perfect stat distribution and bonuses for my build, yet I want to replace it by purchasing a New Monarchy helm simply because I hate the look of the Queen's Helm?

I can't get into the colors and those spikes. Titan btw.

It can't be as bad as the Warlock's. It's a recolor of the same one I've been forced to use the majority of the time since level 6-ish that I was never really a fan of.

At least you're getting them! I haven't had one show up and I'm almost level 26.

For me it's really bad which sucks lol. It has all the stats I want, but it looks AWFUL and shaders don't really effect it. So I just have this awful looking purple helm with some weird ass spikes on it. I was pretty happy I wouldn't have to spend marks on a helm but may do it just because it really looks that bad.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Shrines of Oryx w/ Epic modifier solo was surprisingly easy

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

I'm at work and all I'm thinking about is Destiny .

For the raid's final boss, I think

Spoiler

the best team setup for the three going through the portals is a voidwalker and a gunslinger with a third person using the relic (maybe a Sunsinger who can revive themselves if need be).

I say this because a nova bomb could wreck that minotaur and the rest of the trash in both portals. A gunslinger could use their golden gun to kill nearly everything. All of this can happen before the first oracle appears.

The people defending the portals could maybe use handcannons and sit in the center platform the whole time aside from opening the gate the time travelers are stuck in.

I think I'm onto something folks.

A level 28 can 1 shot the adds and an experienced shield bearer can make quick work of the minotaur.
Shield guy deals with the ads and the other two with the oracles.

 

[The Librarian]

There are some generally great encounters/missions in Destiny.

"Scourge of Winter"
"The Archive"
"The Buried City"
"A Rising Tide"
"The Last Array"
"Chamber of Night"
"Shire of Oryx"
"The Garden's Spire"
"The Sword of Croata"

 

[Diablo Rosso]

God of war shader?

I'll do anything for that shader..

I got it when I levelled up the cryptarch.

pretty much, doesn't he know that attacking uses up the super meter? why would you use that as a method to "move"

Are you saying this to restate what's already understood within the thread or are you saying this for your own benefit?

This is kind of like someone saying grass is green, water is wet, and snow is cold.

[kittens]

After two weeks of poop socking this game, I'm really only interested in playing 3v3. If anyone on XB1 plays a lot of that, add me. GT = kittens dx.

 

[rocksteady1983]

Pardon my ignorance but what does "adds" stand for?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

What did you get?

The hell did you get?

The Nightfall has amazing rewards; imo the best guaranteed rewards in the game, even totally ignoring the weeklong buff.

Spoiler

legendary

sniper. :/

I already have two of those.

Another guy received 6 ascendant energies.

Last week a member of the fireteam got 11 ascendant shards, while the other guy got 6 strange coins.

Why can't they guarantee at least an exotic for everyone, or at least the same number of shards/energies?

I know I'm ranting but this game has the most dissatisfying reward system ever.
