Destiny 2 |OT| Here We Go Again

I wasn't planning on playing the game and ended up buying it digitally on day of release (got the version with the season pass)...

Out of curiosity, did I miss any pre-order bonus?
 
Question;

I'm in a clan and we have completed the Crucible challenge and the Nightfall Strike. But Hawthorne has had no Engram awards for me. My friend who I was playing with got it, but I have not. I did switch clans a couple days ago, has that fucked me over for awards this week?
 
Any one know where in the Black Exodus strike you can find Kendriks-7 for the Sturm quest? Currently soloing it and got up to the bit with the Fallen heavy bike things. Have I gone too far or is it further in?
 
What's the difference between regular and competitive Crucible? Description said something about high stakes but I don't know what they mean by that.
 
When we did it, same thing happened. Coordinated arc supers during arc burn and burned him immediately down to 20-30% then one of our fireteam used a wardcliff coil to burn the rest while he was walking away.

Something strange happens when you burn him quickly at the start. He jumps up then immediately jumps down again w/o needing to dunk that orb. You essentially skip a phase.

Okay thanks. And the boss does his melee ground slam too when he's being damage and burned by the supers, right? A few times he did that a couple of us were knocked away and some died.
 
Wow. 3 Exotic Engrams so far. Dupes of what I got.

Coldheart. Sunshot. And Skull of Dire Ahamkara. smh I seriously have some of the worst RNG ever.
 
Any tips to get past 285?
I'm 282 and starting to lose hope of getting past that until the Raid. Exotics don't even drop past 280 anymore for me and only a head would really do anything for me now anyway.
 
They made nightfall pretty easy now...

Can respawn, whole team can wipe without progress reset. Ez

I imagine every nightfall is now on a timer though?
how else would you complete rat king
 
Yup knew I should have read a guide before going too far. Definitely saving all engrams now and putting off exotic quests till I hit the cap. I have a power 83 exotic already just cuz I couldn't resist opening it when I shouldn't have.

Also got fucked a bit by turning in tokens to the NPCs in each area. Definitely sucks that the "best" way to play is to not open any of your shit early since it changes scale with your level. They could have made the engrams have "levels" as well, by then people in the know would have been disappointed in engrams meaning nothing until they can reach a certain level
Engrams DO have a set level now the moment you pick them up, unlike D1. There's no point in waiting to decrypt an engram you've earned.

Tokens, however, are worth saving to turn in if you want to be a spergy power gamer. The moment you turn them in is when the rewards are scaled to your level.
 
How the hell are you guys getting all these exotic drops lol, i've had one engram drop for me this entire time.
With my copy stuck in shipping, reading this thread and watching videos talking about using duplicate exotics for infusions makes me think that exotics are raining from the sky in D2.

Public Events are really good for them. Gotten a lot from doing the Adventures too. Crucible ain't too bad either. But Public Events are the quickest for me.
 
Okay, can someone explain what's going on with the Rat King quest?

I'm on the first step and websites are telling me it's to do 2 patrols while in a Fireteam.

I did that and nothing changed on the bounty.

Did you do patrols or public events? I don't mind joining you if you need one more.

I'm at the begging og the rat king quest. Anyone interested ?

Psn skywalker_3li

I'll join you

It's 3 Patrols, I think you need to be with at least 1 other with the quest too.

I feel better now :D . Thanks!

I don't know for sure, but it does warn you when you leave a clan that doing so will make you ineligible for any Engram rewards for that week.

So yeah, probably.
 
Finally hit 234 and I see the guided game "matchmaking" for nightfall isn't up yet. Anyone want to run some strikes? Nightfall or otherwise?

Is the Sweet Business auto rifle any good? Looks kind of interesting and I just got it.

It's good at pinning down people in the Crucible and can really destroy them when at max firerate, but it's pretty bad whenever it's not at full firerate. It's fun to use in PvE.
 
Is there a high chance to obtain the ps4 exclusive tesseract armour through any specific strike or planet? Just need the gloves and having a hard time.
 
Is there any reason to do all these adventures I skipped if I'm already 265? Most are low level with the reward being a blue. Seems pointless now?
 
I'm confused because of seeing different information. I'm PL 216. Should I be saving my legendary and exotic engrams until I hit 265 or do they not scale with me and I need to decrypt them now?

They can drop Exotics.

The only thing you should save is Milestones that give you "Powerful Gear" they scale, everything else drops at around your current level, Blue, Purple and Exotic Engrams.

Man, maybe I just suck now but I found the nightfall to be a pain in the ass with there being a timer 100% of the time. The rat king also needing 5 minutes on that timer like WTF. Apparently I need to get carried.


I'm also stuck at 265 light how the hell do I move up? I only have 1 quest that gives powerful and it's the damn nghtfall, I already did all the others sadly
