6 Queen's missions, 6 Queen's robes. Meanwhile I'm still wearing a blue helmet. *sigh*

Gunsmith is selling rare fusion rifles if you're doing pocket infinity.

Also just got thunder devil shader for leveling Cryptarch.

 

[malfcn]

Going to try and farm out some Qounties.
The Walker one you have to get the kill shot? Best mission?
And the Shader one can't be done yet..

I'm 500/1000 and 0 rank so far.

 

[Suirrad]

A rare fusion rifle just refreshed on the gunsmith for 1600 glimmer. Perfect if you have the exotic fusion rifle bounty (Shattered Memory Fragment) and need them to break down for the cores.

Will be there from 1 AM to 4 AM EST.

Just what I need, while I'm at work right now.... FML

What is the pocket infinity?

Edit - it's the name of the exotic bounty mission that requires 10 fusion rifles. Got it.

Shit I am nowhere near that bounty but think I will go buy as many as I can right now. Thanks!

I got one from Devil's Lair and the other two from the public event in the Divide. http://destinypublicevents.com/ is helpful to know when it's going to happen.

Are the Nightfall rewards repeatable? I just completed it with Mugaaz (Thanks man!) and I got an exotic hunter chest. I'm a warlock.

Yeah, I went through that hell yesterday. Had to do 9 missions and finally got one, after nothing but robes beforehand.

and my friend was getting helmets just to rub it in.

well rewards no longer appear when I glide over it. So I'd assume no. You do it once for the chance of nice shit plus exp bonus each week

 

[youngplaya21]

You know, at first when I got level 28 I was really burnt out. But new I realized level 28 is perhaps the best part of the game. Forget ridiculous bounty requirements telling me what to do and how to do it, forget leveling up factions and vanguard, forget dealing with the cryptarch. I'm not going to level up much further until I get raid gear, so I can just chill and replay missions I want to play on difficulties I want to pay them on, play whichever mode of crucible I want how I want (except Salvage, the best mode. Needs to be permanent). Help friends out, and then try the raid whenever I get a group together.

Only thing stopping me now is leveling up the queen just for the shaders. Lucky they only require level 1.

This right here. I feel like I was set free once I hit 28. I have my gear, I have very capable weapons, and there are no missions that are too challenging

 

[Fee]

What are other methods of getting an exotic bounty?

People keep saying it's random, but i got one when I hit rank 3 of vanguard, and just got another one when I hit Rank 4.

POCKET INFINITY FUCKIN DONE!

Edit: Nm next part is pretty hard.

nahh dude it's super easy if you own a solar fusion rifle, just camp the first doorway and instakill a guy every time you peak out to shoot

oh derp I forgot about the weekly reset.

 

[jay23]

I DONT HAVE ENOUGH GLIMMER AND THEY JUST NERFED ALL THE GLIMMER FARMING SPOTS AAAAAHHHHHHHH

!!!

 

[SlenderBeans]

WHY DO I HAVE TO BUY SO MANY SPECIAL AMMO BOXES.

YOU DON'T NEED THEM YOU NEVER SHOOT ANYTHING

 

[Hawkian]

if you guys spent your glimmer at the cryptarch, i hope this is a lesson to you all

 

[Afrocious]

Tomorrow, I'll try out using Share Factory and posting a video of this final boss kill of the raid. Ended up getting the clan trophy for clearing VoG.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Any of my fellow GAFfers want to run the weekly on level 28 difficulty? Level 28 Sunsinger here.

 

[dallow_bg]

Lol at the people dancing at the Gunsmith. As soon as I saw that I knew it was Blue Fusion time. There went half my money.

 

[Gr1mLock]

HELP

the fucking speaker.

did not put back the cloak I wanted but has ANOTHER hawk one in its place.

but the color is horrible does anyone have any clue if it's affected by shaders? I must know

Its not affected by shaders. I accidentally bought it by dropping my controler whilst browsing the speaker's stock =/

 

[GhaleonEB]

Now that I've finally gotten my ass to Mars and fought the Cabal, I wanted to comment on the enemy design.

In short, a disappointing lack of imagination. We get three races of aliens and one of robots, and they're all biped humanoids (a few floating robots aside). Some are thin, some are chunky, a few have some extra limbs, but they're all confined to the same set of appendages. I wish we could fight some really alien aliens.

They are also pretty similar to fight. I battled the Cabal the same as I do the Fallen, just with a bit less melee combat as they hit hard. That's it; they still fall to headshots, still have the same mix of light/heavy/ranged types, and so on. I was hoping we'd have to blow their armor off in chunks or something.

There's no discernible difference in how I need to fight any of the races in the game, making all the effort that went into creating them feel somewhat wasted.

To make up for the fact you'll be getting a Shotgun that will never go empty.

 

[AmethystEnd]

I got bottom paged so I'll ask again. Anyone wanna run the weekly on level 28 difficulty? Level 28 Sunsinger here.

Edit. Derp, forgot to say I'm on PS4.

 

[BoxManLocke]

Just killed a devil walker on my own on patrol cosmodrome and it didn't register for the bounty.

C'mon Bungie.

 

[MechDX]

I know have 4 queens missions and no one ti help to me on the One.

 

[malfcn]

I know have 4 queens missions and no one ti help to me on the One.

I'm on..but they are all shitty Headshot bounties for me.
Just keep trying to get the Earth mission. Should be able to complete it in 10 minutes.

 

[Afrocious]

I keep finding goals in this game...even after I said I'd go back to D3.

Now I gotta hit level 30 and attempt VoG on heroic.

 

[JackHerer]

I just got my first choice of exotic bounties. I have the option for either Bad Ju Ju (awful from what I hear), Pocket Infinity, or Super Good Advice.

It's between Pocket Infinity and Super Good Advice I guess. I'm leaning towards Super Good Advice but I already have the legendary machine gun Zombie Apocalpyse which is pretty damn good. What's my best option here?

 

[Somnium986]

Dammit! The weapons vendor is finally selling rare fusion rifles and I don't have any glimmer. Need them to complete my exotic bounty.

What's the fastest way to make glimmer now that the Shrine of Oryx is patched?

I just got the actual skill that makes Pocket Infinity special, and I highly recommend it. Full automatic fusion rifle that returns ammo directly to the magazine is insane. My magazine size is 3 (8 if you choose increased magazine size over stability) but I'll sometimes fire 10 times without reloading.

Melts everything.

 

[Navy Bean]

Is it just me or is the defense stat meaningless? It rises but I still am in trouble after a shot or two from almost any enemy over level 12.

Pop a Black Wax Idol and chill in front of the cave of wonders.

This is so laggy right now, 3 headshots with the sniper did nothing.

Quite like the mimic alien design from edge of tomorrow, that would have made a fun alien to hunt...

Hopefully we'll get a more diverse range when the DLC packs start dropping...

 

[Hawkian]

kill enemies in the nightfall strike

until the fusion rifle stabilizes

O_O

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

I just got another exotic bounty, but it's for Thorn or Bad Juju and I really don't want either

Fuck.

Gimme dat Pocket Infinity.

 

[AmethystEnd]

O_O

I ran last week's solo like 15 times, just killing the initial wave of thralls/cursed thralls until I killed 200. Not sure what a good strategy would be for this week's.

Also read it carefully. The kills have to be with fusion rifles.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I have the helm, the chest and now the sniper rewards from the queens wrath.

Just need that Magic purple space penis bus ship and I will have all the mission rewards.

At least they did add shields to some of the regular ones you see in higher tiers and have to shoot them with the appropriate kind of weapon. Sure that does not make them entertaining or wildly different but it does change up your tactics.

I was more annoyed at the AI they implemented. Specially when you find them fighting against each other, suddenly they become best friends trying to shoot you down.

;_; well thanks, sorry about that

 

[Croc]

quick question about nightfall. I'm dead by the boss and my two teammates are alive.

Can I drop out and join back in and be alive again?

 

[darkwing]

fusion rifles are too much. i'm sick of these one shot weapons in pvp

at least they are not shotguns

 

[Somnium986]

Pop a Black Wax Idol and chill in front of the cave of wonders.

The loot cave right? Was thinking about doing that earlier, but thought there might be another method. Thanks.

Start over, and shoot the boss from the top of that cliff.

Yes, but then next time two people are down at once, it counts as a full party wipe. Also you can't if you're the fireteam leader.

I haven't noticed that yet, or did you mean the big heavy shields? I fight them like they're heavy Jackals - hit the shoulder outside the shield, then land the headshots. That or break out the rocket launcher.

Also, the Cabal make it feel like I'm fighting the cast of Gears of War.

 

[Croc]

Start over, and shoot the boss from the top of that cliff.

I mean, they're holding out fine. It'd just go much faster if I was alive. I'm just wondering if I can drop out and ocme back in and continue on so they don't have to risk reviving me.

Awesome I'll go with that. I haven't been using fusion rifles very much so this will encourage me to branch out and not just use a sniper rifle all the time.

 

[Key2001]

Yeah. I don't even have the bounty yet but went ahead and bought them.
