I don't know if I should get Red Death or Saint-14. I know that both are very useful on PvP but what's the one that'll bring better results?

Step in my bubble, get blind and mauled to Death or Killed you, now my life is charging again?

I won't be lucky enough to get 13 coins after buying the Red Death I guess...

Neither item is particularly good in PvP. But the helm will have more utility in both modes, if you prefer Defender Titan.

 

[Turdburger]

So I'm a lv26 hunter gunslinger looking for my first exotic and I'm tempted to go for the Xur helmet which grants an additional golden gun shot. Good investment or should I wait for something better?

There is no better exotic helmet for gunslinger

Don't buy the Red Death for PvP. It's not great for it. Not sure about the helmet though.

 

[sploatee]

Okay, my lvl 20 warlock will be decked out with exotics and legendaries thanks to Xur and RNG.

Spoiler

Too bad I haven't created one yet.

Hahahaha

My Titan too! Born with a silver spoon in his mouth...

 

[anddo0]

Lol, there's nothing better than trolling loot cave shooters. I took my character, started dancing in the entrance, walked away to make breakfast.. The same guy is just standing there waiting for me to leave 25 mins later.

 

[Afrocious]

Welp. If there ever was a week I don't waste my strange coins, I guess it's now.

The Red Death sounds like a nice gun, but I'm already rocking the solar scout rifle. I don't need another exotic if it isn't worth it.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Nope. If where you are in cover isn't risky, sure. But the fact you are taking cover anyways means you are waiting for your health to get back up and shoot again. You, ideally, would spend less time in cover if armor gave a significant boost -- which it does not.

my experience is different so i'm going to disagree. if the other two attributes are useless, then fine, but i don't notice a difference in the way i play pvp with recovery low or maxed. i forego agility in favor of recovery and armor in pve, but in pvp recovery to me is, again, irrelevant. if my health is down in the first place i've probably missed a shot or made a bad decision.

 

[nowai]

So what does blinding the enemy actually do with the Saint-14 helmet?

Have you any version been hit by the Striker Titan's flashbang grenade? That, but inside the Dome of Doom.

 

[Cudder]

Ever receive titan's blinding grenande ? Same thing. Screen turn white for few seconds and you loose radar and hud

But in terms of PvE, do enemies that enter your bubble just become inanimate for a while or something?

 

[Two Words]

Lol, there's nothing better than trolling loot cave shooters. I took my character, started dancing in the entrance, walked away to make breakfast.. The same guy is just standing there waiting for me to leave 25 mins later.

They could just push your idle body away from the spot.

 

[VE3TRO]

That's what I'm doing. I'm running the moon strike over and over.

Though I still don't feel like I'm efficient enough at it. I can do it in about 10 min, but I feel I could cut that by a minute or two.

Right ok see I got no problem with that, I even did it myself. Put Black Wax on as well and you should earn about 900-1000 Glimmer along the way.

I'm just on about the people in Level 28 Strikes in the Vanguard section. If people are rushing through for Marks I don't see why they don't to events since they offer only 2 less but are 2-3 times quicker. By the time you get 6 Marks in a Strike you could have done 3 possibly 4 events which could be 12 or 16 Marks.

 

[Megasoum]

Woohoo Xur has arrived. Woohoo I have enough motes for the helm engram!!!

God daammiititttt Titan item....ugh

 

[anddo0]

He tried, I moved back

 

[Darklord]

Where's Xur? I can't find him!

 

[Klyka]

I'm pretty sure collision only exist when you are in the same fireteam, right?

 

[Dante316]

Quick question:

Clash or Control for both Depleted Hand Cannon Bounty and Darkness-Infused Pulse rifle bounty? I got void auto and sniper rifle for the hand cannon bounty and just need less than 400 points to complete it.

On the mars map, on point c, heavy ammo spawns There and there are 3 entrances to that area. Grab a shotty and a void rocket and watch ppl go boom. You have to be patience though. It got me nearly 200 points from that spot.

 

[Lakitu]

I thought they patched that?

 

[Finalow]

halo reach pvp was much better. vehicles, for example. here you only have 2 shitty bikes. were they even trying.

this game feels like an unfinished game more than anything.

 

[jiiikoo]

I thought they patched that?

There's always a loot cave, somewhere...

 

[Unstable]

I thought they patched that?

It took aprox 4 hours for people to find loot cave 2.0 after they patched the first one.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Ok i'm probably late to the rage party but what the fuck is going on with Xur!? He's fucking us Warlocks over hard! 3 damn weeks of shitty SunBreakers!?!?! I'm going to throw his wormy ass off the fucking tower...

 

[anddo0]

I thought they patched that?

There's another location in the Rocketyard where the Fallen spwan.

 

[Lalalandia]

Hmmm I'm a lvl 27 Defender Titan and I have 17 Strange Coins and 23 Motes

Should I cheese the weekly for the extra 6 coins to get Red Death and hope on the random helm?

Or take the Helm of Saint-14 (I'm a PvE guy mostly) and buy one of the Vanguard Legendary guns?

Any opinions on the A.1F19X-Ryll or Proxima Centauri II? I've been rocking the auto rifles thus far but I've been wanting a bit more range post nerffor PvE, I'll probably stick on Shingen-E for PvP until RNGesus blesses me (the Vanguard SP seems unattractive)

 

[Megasoum]

Where's Xur? I can't find him!

Next to the three class vendors.

 

[Darklord]

Next to the three class vendors.

Ah thanks.

 

[Blitzhex]

Is there anyway to gain fast xp? Level alts faster.

 

[Abylim]

Knucklehead Radar vs Symbiote helm.

The Radar while ADS is amazing, but not game breaking
Having a fourth Golden Gun shot sounds great too, but not always up/useful

Thoughts?

I have knucklehead from a random Engram, but contemplating Symbiote

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

7-8 minutes is my usual time.

I believe the Nexus strike can be done in even less time, mainly because you can skip almost every encounter.

I knew it could be cut down.

I'll also have to look into the nexus strike. I'm just not sure I could just blast away at the boss like I can with Phogoth.

Quick question:

Clash or Control for both Depleted Hand Cannon Bounty and Darkness-Infused Pulse rifle bounty? I got void auto and sniper rifle for the hand cannon bounty and just need less than 400 points to complete it.

I would go with control. Way more predictable where people will be.

Lol, there's nothing better than trolling loot cave shooters. I took my character, started dancing in the entrance, walked away to make breakfast.. The same guy is just standing there waiting for me to leave 25 mins later.

Tsk tsk

Yeah if it's a vanguard strike then I'm killing damn near everything. But for bounties I just run through since I wanna move on to something else.

 

[bidguy]

i wish bungie would include drop in drop out matchmaking for raids

its not as hard as they said takes around 2 or 3 hours which isnt that bad

 

[gutterboy44]

Looks like my exotic helm from last week will be worthless today. The extra shot in golden gun is way better than the radar perk in knucklehead. So glad I didn't waste any shards on upgrading it fully yet.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

He tried, I moved back

what a scummy move

 

[recks]

Is Red Death any good?

 

[Twilight Gap]

2-3 hours if everyone knows what to do and is willing to cooperate.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

Rare Shingen E at gunsmith for anyone who needs it.



If there's ever a week Xur has nothing for me I'm buying it.

What I want to know is does it upgrade the sparrow's overall grade to Legendary?

I believe it does. Seen some videos just now, and the trails look awesome. But apparently the speed isn't that much increased over a normal rare. Now I'm wondering if I should just wait for a legendary sparrow drop via raid then upgrade that...

I'm gonna buy the drive and sun breakers this week anyway

 

[void666]

Anyone bought the sparrow drive? Thoughts?

I did. The red trail looks nice and it goes really fast now.
Don't forget you need a rare sparrow to use it.

If you have nothing else to spend your coins and enjoy driving around your sparrow maybe give it a try.

 

[Megasoum]

Hmmm..... I'm 3 coins short for the Xur gun this week... Not sure if I try to get them before tomorrow... I'm more of a auto rifle guy but finally having an exotic gun is tempting.

 

[Zakalwe]

Neither item is particularly good in PvP. But the helm will have more utility in both modes, if you prefer Defender Titan.

The helm is great in pvp.

Blinding ward and faster Melee are very useful. The blinding ward is the clincher though. Aside from the obvious benefit, you can use the bubble to close off narrow passages and disorientate any enemies who run through it.

 

[Competa]

Where's Xur? I can't find him!

Go Down to the vanguards, on the Right side of the room.

Tell me your secret because AFAIK there's only one Public Event every 15 minutes and a Strike takes 10 minutes.

I have plenty of experience.

Knucklehead for PvP, Symbiote for Gunslinger PvE. Mask of Third Man for Bladedancer.

That's how I roll.

 

[bidguy]

2-3 hours if everyone knows what to do and is willing to cooperate.

pretty sure most people know what to do by now and if they dont just include voice chat

+ a veto system to kick trolls

Why not have both? Both provide different perks. If you are using Bladedancer, Knuckledhead is what you equip. If you need to change back to gunslinger, equip Symbiote.

*edit* What Klyka said ^^^^

 

[Ambitious]

Have to get 200 kills in the Nightfall using Fusion Rifles for the Pocket Infinity. What a pain in the ass.

 

[Abylim]

Oh, just got my first Reign of Terror medal earlier (15 kill streak) was crazy hectic, and a massive rush.

Got off 2 golden guns, went 6/6 with shots, my last kill was a guy jumping at me while I threw my knife at him!

Streak ended with a lock nova bombing me from the side.
This game doesnt always "click" and sometimes it feels cheap.
But when it all comes together, its amazing.

 

[Unstable]

I got my alt to level 20! Anybody doing the raid today?

I have plenty of experience.

I'm down to do the raid today, I have plenty of experience in the raid myself, and I have 3 characters I have to run it on this week (I've been getting lazy). What time is good for you?

 

[figadapaura]

Is there anyway to gain fast xp? Level alts faster.

Do all missions on hard and do as many bounties as you can. I never noticed how much xp you actually get from bounties but it's pretty significant.

You can probably skip the crucible ones though since matchmaking can take so long.

 

[rdrr gnr]

my experience is different so i'm going to disagree. if the other two attributes are useless, then fine, but i don't notice a difference in the way i play pvp with recovery low or maxed. i forego agility in favor of recovery and armor in pve, but in pvp recovery to me is, again, irrelevant. if my health is down in the first place i've probably missed a shot or made a bad decision.

It's not exactly about subjective experience, but about what changes are demonstrable -- independent of whether that affects your play style. Health and armor are normalized, yet agility and recovery, in a sense, are not. One of the game's many issues when transitioning between PvP and PvE. It makes maximum recovery the most logical choice in nearly every scenario and, therefore, the best ability.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Have to get 200 kills in the Nightfall using Fusion Rifles for the Pocket Infinity. What a pain in the ass.

Enter darkness, go back. Find a place of another mission, enemies will be 28 but you can respawn. Repeat. Easy. Takes an hour

 

[figadapaura]

Preferably in the next few hours if you can.
