Had 37 Strange Coins so I managed to pick up both the Exotic Helm and AR. Bought the Exotic Engram and got yet another Exotic Hunter Helm.

Can I trade this with someone please? I have 3 Hunter Exotic pieces sitting in the vault. ;__;

I thought there was no trading?

 

[Frabba]

Rolled the dice on an exotic engram from Xur, was pleasantly surprised: http://www.destinydb.com/items/2771018502#1.MbVoXL8

First exotic and it's usable by my class, hooray!

 

[Apathy]

That exotic engram is a guaranteed exotic right?

I'm scared I'll buy it for my titan and get a hunter helm... Fuck.

Yeah i got a warlock helmet. Oh well, weekly lottery

 

[Hellsing321]

Before I spend money on the Engram xur, will I be garunteed to get an exotic from it or is it Bullshit like the crypt arch?

 

[Unknown One]

If there was I would buy that helm. Whats the attribute?

New loot cave location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTrVkfj97hQ

I'm so glad there's a new loot cave. Last night I was sitting around literally with nothing to do. I had done the daily, weekly, and nightfall. I capped my Vanguard marks for the week. I don't like PVP, and I'd done all 5 of my bounties. Already cleared the raid this week. I really wanted to keep playing, but I was sitting there staring at my screen trying to figure out what to do. Normally I would have just gone to shoot at the cave. Level up my grimoire, get weapon exp, etc, but since it was gone I was out of options and I turned off my PS4.

I love this! Wish i had a hunter build for one... pretty cool idea. I wish there was more of this "creativity" with weapon and armor design. There is so much potential even for common, rare and legendary designs... Bungie seemed to just go.. with "Paint this one blue... throw a sticker on that one... " laziness. I wish there was more of THIS.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

The Speaker does sell some pretty sweet shit for Motes.

Dumped 23 motes last week on the chest engram hoping for Heart of Praxic Fire, was very disappointed when I got some titan chest. Wish I would of just got a cool band from the Speaker. Back to 21 motes, not even considering playing with RNG again until I get my band

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Admittedly Apotheosis Veil isn't all that for an exotic. Melee hits replenish grenades is decent I guess but pretty standard, and replenishing health by grabbing orbs/regenerating health by activating super is useful I guess if you're doing voidwalker in a tough area. And if you're not a sunbro using the return to life ability.

Still I' mainly using it to achieve 28 for now, next week he should hopefully bring a chest which would be way more useful and then I'd have another exotic to level up.

 

[realcZk]

You can't win if you never play!

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

It was the same, trust me. Two days of PS Vita afk farming .

You just learned what RNG is.

Dude, I understand what RNG is. What you probably don't understand is that 10 minutes of active shooting provides more benefit than an hour of AFK. But if all you did was AFK, then I would understand why you couldn't pick up on this...

 

[Doominated]

Has anybody made any kind of loose PVP stat/weapon guide yet? I'm completely lost on how it all works regarding mods and different subclasses within the main gun classes. It just seems so all over the place. Some guns are borderline autokill guns and others seem completely useless, regardless of the level/damage set. And are your subclass stat boosts effective in the Crucible or is it a completely even playing field in PVP?

 

[EL CUCO]

You buy the engram from Xur, but guess who decrypts it for you... Mr Cryptarch himself.

It is a guaranteed exotic, though. Just not guaranteed your class.

 

[Two Words]

Only Solar .

I wish I had an item that made sticky grenades more OP.

Get the 2 grenade perk.

 

[PedroLumpy]

I really regret selecting the first upgrade on the Suros, it was an absolute monster in crucible before...not so much now ;/

Still viable but I wish I had held off until I unlocked most of the upgrades already

So that ability lowers the DPS? I would've thought they'd tweak the damage & ROF so it would be net neutral to DPS.

 

[E92 M3]

You guys think Xur's weapon upgrade items are worth it?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

I also use a Doctor Nope for my AR. The Suros is better but I think you'd get more use out of the chest. It'll give you more light and is more useful in raids/end game content. Doctor Nope (assuming your rolls weren't terrible) is still very good.

hmmm, my doctor nope is good but not that good when there is a lot of bullet sponges enemies. i figured as well that chest with a defender combo will be good, damn it and i just maxed out my inmost light helm and chest thanks to the queens bounties will have to do over again

 

[theSlacker]

Question about the sparrow drives that Xur sells. Are they consumable, as in can you only use them on one sparrow, or when you buy them can you switch what they are on? So it isn't a waste if I get one to use with a vanguard sparrow.

Plus the helmet looks dumb. All the exotic warlock helmets look dumb. Even the dragon one I have with the cool lore behind it. Exotic chest seems like the best for warlocks.

 

[Spineker]

I doubt he will sell bounty/quest exotics like Invective.

I'll wait and see anyway, because I already have Hard Light from a random drop so I don't need SUROS.

There are a "bunch" of "loot caves". Just wander around and monitor enemy spawns and try and find the spawn boundaries where you can be before they respawn. You'd be surprised how many good "caves" there are.

Hint: There is one AWESOME spot on the moon where you can farm 4 "caves" at the same time in a rotating order ;P Loot cave aint got nothing on it.

 

[Juraash]

Is Apotheosis Veil a practical joke?
That thing is terrible. What the hell Bungie?

Warlocks get no new item last week and then a shit stain this week.

...I like it. What exactly is wrong with it unless you are specifically a Sunsinger with self rez?

I think it would be useful it made it so that generating orbs of light also regenerated health, it would be more useful.

Repost as this thread is moving way too fast

'Guys how does the slower firewater ability upgrade affect ARs in PvE?'

Increases damage while firing slower. Allows you to fine tune your shot and hone in on critical

I finally got the white shader!

Damage/armor stat doesn't matter in the crucible. Everything else does.

 

[Unknown One]

Look at the bright side, it opens up upgrades for both range and stability.

 

[todahawk]

Yup... that shit is badass! Too bad Xur brought the diving helmet from BioShock for us Warlocks. Gonna have to try my luck with the engram and that turd-burglar cryptarch.

good to know. i spent my motes on an engram and got the warlock helm xur was selling... need three more coins for the AR...

 

[cpp_is_king]

Ugh I need 3 strange coins for Xur. It's not happening is it? Farm PVP, public events, or chests? What's my best hope of getting 3 coins?

 

[Afrocious]

It was mostly the Relic thing, but also we were dying on the Atheon side.

Honestly, if the raid wipes, it should be because of the portal/Relic folks. People outside with the boss can stay in the middle and kill Supplicants without risking being blown up. The only time they'd need to jump from the middle is to activate the portals so the portal people can escape.

Here's a video I made for using the relic. Just check it out. I didn't go into detail about what the people on the outside should be doing, but watch how they stack in the middle.

Good question. I havent seen one in the wild yet.

 

[BruiserBear]

New cave franchise open. lol

 

[Afrocious]

I didn't get it the first time either.

I would've traded the ship I got from the raid for the shader.

I did both. Had to keep the Vita / PS4 from sleeping .

don't think about it or it will drive you crazy...since I guess you already did the weekly strike, just play the game...turn in blue engrams...a solid two days of playing will probably net you 3 coins...

 

[E92 M3]

It will be a guaranteed exotic, but might not be for your class.

I have that helmet, but still love the splinter cell one. I feel the expansion will bring some cool looking gear.

Permanent means just that.

 

[jay23]

I really don't want that focus fire perk on my suros, I think it'll ruin the gun in crucible. Bungie needs to give us the option.

 

[Heysoos]

Queen's Kill Orders anyone on Xbox 1?

 

[Ade]

So random thought of the day.

Can we get a Lawless Patrol Mode?

As there's a 15 person per zone cap, its certainly not going to be beyond the realms of possibility simple keep us all in the same zone instances. Simply give willing people the option to go down to a planet, farm crap, do patrol missions WHILE FLAGGED FOR PVP.

I'd personally love the opportunity to earn crucible rep/marks while farming vanguard stuff, perhaps even throw in some new patrol missions to wipe out other guardians too.

Variety is the spice of life, and I'd love this option.

Thoughts?

 

[Confidence Man]

Have you done the weekly strike on all difficulties?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

What's the easiest way to get a Mote of Light? I have 22... damn it.

 

[foxdvd]

I have a question for those doing the new cave...it seems the spawn is so slow you are getting what, 10 kills in 30 seconds? The opening of the nexus strike on venus, if you just go around in a circle, you get twice that easy. (they spawn left and right here) What makes this new cave better than that?

 

[Afrocious]

I really don't want that focus fire perk on my suros, I think it'll ruin there gun in crucible. Bungie needs to give us the option.

I'm hearing a lot of complaints about this perk. It slows down the rate of fire but bullets become stronger right?

What's wrong with it? I know I use it on machine guns and they are godly.

 

[anddo0]

The change to the Queens Wrath missions getting rid of Ascendent materials was dumb as fuck. Bungie pretty much threw out any reason for players who already have full legendary gear to do the Queens bounties in the first place, which points to my original theory that the whole point of the Queens Wrath missions was to populate the game with more higher level players in time for the Iron Banner.

It's going to have future purpose.

It would be smart to at least keep doing the bounties and rank up her faction.

 

[CouchMaster]

15 min of farming (5 mags of scout) at the Rocketyard room

 

[Lockon]

Guys, can I do weekly/nightfall with these gears?

I can get an exotic gear from Xur if I need to.

I got it but only plan on using it on my Voidwalker. Absolutely no point on using it with Sunsinger when you have flame shield and radiant skin/fireborn. Good thing I also have Sunbreakers.
