Found the Shadow Price to be flawless in the Raid. It's fully upgraded.

Edit: Its magazine size is 25, also killing with it quickens reload times so you don't really notice it much. Thats an upgrade though.

Too bad the perks you get from the one Vanguard sells are random.
 
My next purchase for sure. I need a good shotty.

Legendary engram dropped for me off one of the mobs in Sepiks Prime last night, and it decoded into a Comedian. The feel of just knowing that purple shiny glass orb is going to turn into a purple 'something' is a good feeling indeed.

Going to start leveling it up tonight.
 
Got this from the raid:
but is it worth upgrading it over vision of confluence or suros regime?
I can upgrade them all of course but due to the time legendarys and exotics take it will take a while
void damage should be useful in the raid though

I love my maxed Atheon's but a leveled VoC is darn nice too. VoC's full auto mode will ruin you for all other scout rifles. At least level them both until you get the bonus Oracle damage, that becomes invaluable on Hard mode.

Atheon's can tear down Minotaur/Pretaurian shields but VoC is perfect for certain Hard mode strats on the Templar oracles.

Leveling Suros depends on your other exotics. Obviously Suros is good for PvP and some PvE situations but it's moldly garbage as an exotic for things like Atheon DPS compared to Gjallahorn. Personally I think there are much better choices for raid exotics, if that is your main interest.
 
Also, that patch is the real deal.

Did the Daily Heroic yesterday (Sword of Crota) and scored a Legendary engram along with a couple Shards of Ass.

The couple Tiger Striks I finished got me pieces of Ass as well.

Cant go wrong with a nice piece of Ass.
 
I can fully upgrade my Shadow Price, but being really stingy with energies (have about 40). I am worried that if I upgrade fully something else might come along and ill miss out. Because it's so difficult to obtain energies in mass, upgrades are a rare treat.

Not sure what to do.
 
Holy shit the fire rate of Atheon's Epilogue is crazy. I thought 600+ bullets were more than enough, 2 min later I was hunting for primary ammo and I've never run out of primary ammo except in Raid.
 
Yeah this.

Everyone is quick to bitch and complain about exotics before even getting to their first unique upgrade.

For example, the Bad JuJu.

When you unlock the auto-reload feature, you can see how making it have more impact and/or making the clip larger can make this gun broken as hell.

Don't mind me, I'm just going to keep shooting and never have to reload.

I thought this at first too, until I realized that the Juju in its current form is only good for farming low level enemies. Anything that requires more than 5 bursts to kill still leaves you reloading every few seconds like you did before the upgrade. Especially on bosses, it's extremely pathetic as you don't even get the damage bonus.
 
I've been rocking Grim Citizen III for a few weeks now (which is similar enough to Suros) and really have grown to love it. However, I have been upgrading Atheon's Epilogue. I don't think it's a better weapon than Grim Citizen III, but I think it's useful enough as a backup. It's been particularly helpful in the Weekly and Nightfall strikes.
Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do as well at least until I get the "glass half full" and the stability upgrade I'll see what happen from there, I REALLY like the gun though but the fire rate is insane, and I tend to run out of ammo pretty quick

I've been upgrading VoC actually and I love it but I also love this ugh. Well I'll take your advice and put my suros in the vault for now
 
Tips for this week's boss in nightfall and weekly

Have at least two people bring blue arc snipers.

Here is the trick, you do not need to be deep into the room with boss and adds. In fact, save for two adds, you do not need to kill anyone.

Simply out, have one stay in the room prior to boss room. Stay in the middle. At the entrance to last room, three shielded cabal's will spawn. This is the same as the summoning pits fight. Stay back and they disappear. This is the purpose of having kne remain behind. In addition, this person revives the other player. Here is what the ither player does.

He snipes from behind the barracade to the immediate left of the door. Snipe boss head. If you have a legendary, you can take 1300-1600 pts off per head shot.

Now, when he walks your way, there is a room to the right once you enter the last room. To the right of this are two stacked crates. Crouching behind it nets you a place where no adds nor boss fire power can touch you! Stay here and take pot shots when safe. The shielded cabals will not spawn behind here either even though you are in close proximity.

Thats it

Yea we smoked em using this.

Mine currently has 999 in reserves. Gun is amazing and IMO better than suros simply bc it does void damage and doesn't take up an exotic slot. It is a bullet hose that you rarely have to reload and is perfect for Minotaurs/praetorians in the raid with their void shields. Does bonus damage in the bottom half of the clip and to oracles as well.

So good.
 
Well I finally bought me a Shadow Price last night.

Just did a quick test and it's rate of fire is a bit slower than I'm used to with an AR but should be good for PVE. Reload feels really slow too, but there maybe an upgrade for that, I didn't look.
 
How hard is it to do the Level 28 Weekly Heroic at Level 27?

Its not bad at all.

Run past the parts that you can.

Have a void sniper/fusion rifle for the shields on the Psions. Thats the hardest part.

Just stay in the Interceptor and keep your distance way back and pound the 3 Chiefs section.

You can cheese the boss from under the right ramp near where he spawns.
 
Read my above post



Takes longer than the Nightfall but its not hard at all

Thanks! That's a Good way to cheese it!
 
So what is everyone expecting to buy tomorrow from Xur? I'm hoping the The Glasshouse titan helmet or the Mk. 44 Stand Asides legs.

Full list here of the exotics.

Hitting your Vanguard mark weekly cap on the day after a reset sucks :(

Yea does suck, I hope they up the limit or lower the days for reset.

How hard is it to do the Level 28 Weekly Heroic at Level 27?

I did it solo at 27 up to the boss and some others joined in to kill him.
 
I hit level 3 vanguard last night, and got Doctor Nope in the mail for free. Good lord the fire rate on this thing is ridiculous.

Getting a group together to raid is such a pain in the fucking arse. Need two for raid.

You'd probably have more success telling folks which system you are raiding on, and whether it's normal mode or hard mode :p

Ass see what you did there.

So good.

The bonus damage is about a 1.5 - 2% damage increase, it completely forgettable. But once you can handle the kick and keep it on a crit point the gun just wreaks targets.
 
You get anything good at levels 5 or 6? I got some shitty Engrams at Lv4 that decrypted into garbage so I decided to work the factions and Crucible to Lv 3 just for guaranteed stuff.

Vanguard is 4, Crucible is 3, FWC is 3, and Dead Orbit just hit 3.

Queen's faction is who gives a shit because that lady is terrible.

Im at FWC 7 and all you get is their weapons, got their standard cloak at 6 (lol), and 7 gave me a shard and energy.

Moved back to Vanguard for the variety I want from the postmaster packages

Would it be possible to get everyone in a clan for the trophy? I would jump in then, Lv 30 Titan.

Already cleared hard 1x and normal 3x this week, so a trophy would at least be something, haha.

Ice Breaker please

The weekly strike is a pain in the ass. It's not particularly difficult but the bullet sponge that is Valus Ta'aurc takes forever to down. Combined with juggler and enemies being stingy on dropping any ammo meant I burned through a bunch of ammo synth just to keep damage on him. I can't wait for them to reduce boss HP in strikes. Once you have the pattern down it just becomes tedious.

Still need to do the Nightfall. I have a Plan C that I expect will get plenty of work. Hopefully I'll be able to bang it out tonight.

I think they need to lower the amount of Vanguard marks you get for doing an activity. A string of Public Events takes 20 minutes and you can get 9 out of that. Add to that the Strikes and such and you're going to be hitting the cap really fast.

Or kill him with arc RPG in one minutes.
