Which is really easy this week because you can just turn around at the start and go back into the Ishtar Academy and kill all the enemies there. If you die you are only on the regular 5 sec respawn timer and do not get sent back to Orbit. Works great.

Listen to this dog. It knows what it's talking about.

It wasn't there last weekend, it was Combined Arms instead. I was bummed bc I had two salvage related bounties I wanted to finish but dumped them to make the space when I saw it wasn't coming back last weekend.

Got it, the other was from a destiny wiki so I'll assume they're just old. Thanks.

Here's the weapon before the final damage upgrades (don't know if this is the one I'll spend the energy on only time will tell if it's this, the thorn when the buff comes, or something else).

And its specialties that it comes with (assuming it's the same for the store bought one as I got this from the nightfall strike)

As to your question on high caliber rounds: On a short battle against some cabals in patrol on mars, they didn't seem to flinch more/longer with or without the upgrade. This type of upgrade is fairly common for cannons and scout rifles though. It adds a bit more to your impact which if it's an enemy that continuously shoots it might mess with their aim. In PvP high caliber rounds makes the screen of enemies shooting at you shake more than regular bullets, making it harder for them to aim at you in the heat of the moment. With a weapon that has a decent RoF, this could be useful as it is with mine though I haven't tried it and won't try it in PvP until the buff hits.

The two special skills are great for me though.

-Killing for grenade cooldown: as a sunbro with two grenades this is amazing.

-Dealing damage increases its stability: effectively making it where even if I lost some stability giving it the longer range scope and the higher impact rounds, I still have almost no shake when I shoot enemies while aiming.

So yeah I'm loving the crypt SR1. There might be a better regular legendary scout rifle out there but this one ain't too shabby. I'd argue that outside of exotic scout rifles, this might be the cydonia AR3 to another scout rifle's Shingen-E in terms of ranking but I haven't tested it in PvP.
 
liking the new drops/rewards changes! just hope people give the cave farming a rest now, kind of hypocritical since i partook in it a few times but its both impressive and a tad depressing to go to these locationa and see virtually the whole map of players sat in the same spot shooting at one target.

all thats going to happen is spawning in general is going to be patches and make things really temperamental to a point where genuinely doing missions like 200 headshots will be even more of a nightmare.

what we really need, is bosses that drop engrams, yellows that have a high chance of dropping a blue and a 10% ish chance of purple, and major bosses that have a high chance (30% ish) of dropping a purple, would both give people a reason to give up caves and also give people a reason to keep replaying story missions
 
Most reliable way of getting 8 strange coins after running the 28 weekly? I really want that suits but bought the Hunter helm first. I missed that it cost 23 not 13 coins. I've done all the weekly stuff besides the raid and the Nightfall. I'm a 27 Hunter. PSN is fadeddream if anyone needs one for either of those activities.

Outside of weekly strikes there is no single best way as everything would be up to RNGesus. You can either get them as a reward from a public event, most likely your first of the day, or pray you get them from an engram/random chest. For 5 of them though you'd need to do weekly strikes, nobody's luck is so good.

I'd need to test it further, but with the placebo effect I'm under it does feel like enemies are getting staggered more, and not just by headshots.

I got four today from breaking down blue engrams. I just need two more before Sunday rolls around.

Wanna try the nightfall?

people throwing it in the bushes after the reduced RoF upgrade show that most don't even know what makes the weapon worth having in the first place

the same people spraying that CoD:MW2 ACR AKA Shingen-E are going to keep doing so.

its not a world changer by any means
Click to expand...

Just curious what makes it worth having? If I can track head shots with a Shingen at twice the rate, how is that not better? I haven't hit the other upgrades, but nothing screams faster rof. I could see it ruling in iron banner, but right now it feels like an auto scout.

Honestly probably a cave farm. I seem to get a ton of strange coins from blue engrams.

Expect people to hunt down new spots once the patch hits and legendary engrams actually guarantee a legendary. People will be all over that shit.

Most of the effective farming spots have been on Earth so far, so there is 3 more planets out there you know. Life will find a way.

the range is ridiculous just so you know

its not flashy, but its just amazingly efficient. i could probably wreck pvp with the invective all day and night but the hawkmoon is probably the most satisfying weapon i've ever used in the crucible

I saw something pop up and I went to check it and now I don't see anything. Mind telling me your PSN name and I'll try to add you on my side (also my mic will be off since my girlfriend and her siblings are relaxing with me)
 
we should start a hawkmoon OT for all the great destiny players with the hawkmoon because there really isn't a better handcannon - no - no better gun than the hawkmoon hawkmoon hawkmoon hawkmoon hawkmoon
 
it wouldn't be so bad, the odds of there being a single hawk gun weren't that crazy I guess

but it just happened to be on PS4, which i bought for this game

and it just happened to be a hand cannon, my preferred gun type

the jelly is fierce

Sorry. The Last Word wins by default due to the custom animations.
 
Tech Question about Destiny on PS3. I'm coming out Component Cables and on my old TV running in 720p everything was fine looking.

New TV, running Component Cables still, but at 1080p native and Destiny suddenly looks bad. Like lo-res and stretched. The Traveler is now egg-shaped.

What's the fix? I mean, it should render fine in 1080p, no? I went to the PS3 settings to disable 720p and enable 1080p. The dashboard looks fab, but as soon as the game launches, wow, fugly.

Anybody?

Yes. Its not counting

I run into the nightfall area, leave start shooting the guys at the beginning, no progress on the bounty

Dude no you are doing it wrong. Once you start the strike immediately turn around and run back into the Ishtar Academy. The library looking thing.

...no. the PS3 isn't close to capable of rendering 1080p. I don't think its native resolution is even 720p, and it's being upscaled to 1080p on your screen. fugly as fug.
