EDIT: Wrong claim from my part, no helmet from the Normal mode.
Sorry :/
Edit - No worries. Your mate still came out of there with a pretty crazy haul. Sounds like the helmets might be exclusive to hard mode after all.

IIRC, shotguns, fusion rifles, ARs getting nerfed. Bad Juju and Thorn getting buffed. I don't think scout rifles were mentioned.
They guys above corrected me. They're getting buffed.Good. Some Scout Rifles are already just crazy.
People are speculating that they have hidden effects. I don't know if those claims have been backed with proper evidence yet.Accidentally purchased an emblem from the Speaker... Ugh.
When does the Engram patch go in? I thought it was already out and did a strike and got a purple engram and was like BAD ASS then I go to Rahool the glorious fucknugget and of course get a blue.
pls stop the troll destiny

Scout Rifles are getting buffed, but I don't think they mentioned Fusion Rifles.
Yes, scout rifles were mentioned getting a buff.

I have never seen anyone with the ps exclusive gear, only the weaponsGot a purple engram from the crucible last night and it decrypted to:
Only my second legendary weapon out of 20 or so purples. I thought the patch may have been live but apparently not.
Also I played the Dust Palace strike 6 times last night in the hope of getting any PS exclusive gear and got nothing at all. Anyone had any luck with drops from this?
They mentioned that they were looking at their effective range, if memory serves.They didn't say anything about Fusion Rifles.
Why would they nerf those?

That's a bummer, they look really nice. Looks like Xbox users can rest easy knowing they're junk hehThe PS exclusive armor set is rare quality (blue). I've gotten a number of pieces from the Vanguard Tiger list, they just get dismantled immediately.
Exotic and 3 raid pieces all upgraded fully.
I honestly find it unfathomable what went through Bungie's collective head when they set up that drop system. I don't think I've heard of a game that created a sense of dread in players when they get an item like these goddamn engrams do. Like what the actual fuck. :/

Are PS exclusive drops only IN Dust Palace, or everywhere?
I spent all day grinding out shards to be prepared for the raid tonight.
I get a raid chest piece to replace my maxxed out exotic chest piece. Which means I then have to figure out what kind of exotic gauntlets/head to use. Unfortunately only my gauntlets are geared towards a defender class titan which is what I use primarily. But because exotic helmets give more defense than exotic gauntlets do relative to legendary gear, it's not in my best interest to actually use them...
Either way, I now have to GRIND FOR MORE SHARDS AFTER SPENDING ALL FUCKING DAY GRINDING SHARDS.
Fuck.
I'm okay with shards being rare but at least let us get some of the shards we invested in our gear back by deconstructing it or something. This shit is madness.
I misremembered - they talked about effective range of the pulse rifles rather than fusion.Could have sworn they mentioned their damage was too low, aswell
Balance
Our goal when balancing Destiny is to never have one player choice-- for example a choice of class or weapon-- either be so much better than the alternatives that it is the only valid choice or to be so much worse that it would always be a mistake to choose. When we are successful with this kind of balance the result is a wide set of equally compelling player builds, some of which may be preferred by one player or another but none of which is an absolute right or wrong choice.
Exotic Weapons
Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel and sound overpowered, but to not actually break the game. We hope these weapons challenge the way players think about their loadouts and expect their idiosyncrasies to sometimes be a little frustrating. We find ourselves wanting to collect them all and hope players feel the same way.
Not all our Exotic Weapons currently live up to this promise. In particular those weapons received from completing exotic bounties including Thorn and Bad Juju have disappointed many of us who have gone through the great effort to obtain them because, despite looking and sounding amazing, they feel underpowered. We're here to offer some advice: don't shard those guns. Their time will come.
Auto Rifles
The Auto Rifle archetype is designed to appeal to players who like to throw up a wall of bullets and not worry if a few miss their target. It is intended to inflict sustained damage at close to medium range, but to lose effectiveness at longer ranges.
Today the Auto Rifle is too effective at long range, even beating Scout and Pulse Rifles in some circumstances. Expect stability and/or damage adjustments to the Auto Rifle to address this in the weeks ahead.
Scout Rifles
Scout Rifles are for players who like to keep their enemies at medium range and hate to miss. They are intended to be an awkward weapon to use at close range but to be dominant-- as long as you land your shots-- at medium and longer ranges.
Scouts just aren't hitting hard enough today when compared to other precision weapons. We'll be addressing this soon.
Shotguns
Shotguns are for those situations where you need to deliver a massive spike of damage, right now, to the thing standing next to you about to do you harm.
Today shotguns are effective beyond their intended range, especially when upgraded with that intention. Expect changes soon to address shotguns which push the envelope of what it means to be close quarters.
I wanted to love this weapon but the recoil, even with the stability upgrade, is ridiculous. Awesome burst though and relatively useful in pvp where the aim lock seems to be tighter and thus decreases the recoil somewhat

That doesn't look good for PVP or PvE unless it has a good stability upgrade.
Dude, get off GAF - you're the last person we're waiting on for the Raid party!!I'm quite good with JuJu in PVP, first time I've used pulse rifles in it.
Not having to reload after a kill is amazing.
I misremembered - they talked about effective range of the pulse rifles rather than fusion.

The only legendary primary I have is an SR, so I'm happy if they're buffing it!Cool, I thought so.
I really hope they just play with stability or range on AR's.
I also think Fusion Rifles need to be looked at, but I'm not bungie!
No. I did check though and they didn't specify anything other than this week.Wait, is the patch out yet or no? Sorry this has probably been asked 100 times.

I believe people have had the Monte Carlo weapon drop in numerous places but I think the PS armor set is exclusive to the Dust Palace.
Not as bad as I though in PVE and has 2 stability upgrades so may be OK in PVP. The lack of impact is the real problem though.
Just finished nightfall with 2 fellow GAF. We were all like Gimme the loot, c'mon icebreaker, hnnnnnng exotics while we waited for reward screen........
Thanks Bungie

I'm actually really happy with it, but I'm nowhere near endgame content and don't PvP often. Rack up precision kills with it when I'm playing.

Do you need to equip subclass to lvl it up?
If your don't see a notification on the side with purple/yellow writing just drop your controller and walk away.
