i think everyone is just testing them out atm.
If I had a SGA I'd try this out. Basically unlimited ammo since it counts as misses.

Did my first crucible match with Bad Juju post-patch. It's definitely a viable weapon and the auto-reload on kill makes it pretty nasty. The extended clip is more forgiving and if you're accurate enough it allows you to put a ton of bullets downrange. It also feels more reliable in hip fire than most AR's.

I can only guess that the Radiant Shards are The Dark Below's equivalent to these Exotic Shards Xur will sell and that you get from sharding exotics.
So I'm not crazy, then. Does it seem like they reduced the scope zoom slightly to you? I used to have a bit of a hard time with MIDA in the near-mid range because of how much it zoomed, but now it feels like it handles differently. The stagger upgrade is really noticeable in PvE as well. I may actually run this as my exotic for a while.

Really? I should dust it off. I got Corrective Measure on my first raid or two and its been so good I haven't used anything else as far as MGs. It was fantastic on this weeks Nightfall.

Depends on your playstyle. When you play Crucible and have a good KD ratio, what kind of guns are you using? Now, find those, but with void damage.
why this is quite a good day
I had 2 out of 3 titan helms (Insurmountable Skullfort and Helm of Saint-14) and 2 helm engrams, I popped one open on my Warlock (hoping for a legendary helm for him) and got

then popped the other one and got a legendary helm for him.
i did it as a combo depending on maps during IB. Just switch it up and don't die. Hide and turtle round near your teammates if you need to. I found myself being forced to play more cautiously cuz dying is rage-inducing with this bounty.
I used Atheon's Epilogue, Comedian, Final Boss, Corrective Measure. All Void weapons.

I loved MIDA first 5 minutes I spent with it. I also have the IB scout to level up, but the RoF is lower and it kicks quite a bit more than the multi tool.
Truth can have now 3 rockets in magazine, sooo good, especially with the homing perk.
Suros nerf is negligible in PVE, I didn't really took the risk of letting few rounds in the magazine at high level anyway. New sound is definitely better.
10 marks for 20 materials, mat rewards for daylies and patrol bounty, perfect.
Very good patch overall, nothing to say.

I just got the Motes of Light grimoire card. This one was bugged, I think. Glad they fixed it.
Hmm, very interesting. As a completion reward or drop?
This is when I get all excited about tweaks to engrams. I still love getting engrams.
there are so many fucking things to try now
But can it still 2 shot in PVP?
Better or worse?
Don't be fooled, he's still kind of a bastard...
Yep, I love it for that reason alone.

So how long until some of these buffs get nerfed?

Damn, sounds like Master Rahool is less of a dick now
How often did this happen? Because I recently was using it and would constantly need 4 bursts.

Anybody play around with Red Death yet? Definitely my favorite weapon (aesthetically) and I have held onto it upgraded for my titan waiting for it to be a little better.
Is it...viable?

Man, dat Thorn...
Overpenetrates targets dealing damage and posion to all
As reported by another GAFer, it penetrates cabal shields, exposing them to head shots.
I'm in exotic love right now...

Don't speak of such heresy.
Yes, it counts shooting detainment fields and oracles as a miss. I virtually never have to reload.
If I don't get ported, I take down all my teammate's shields in a flash and if I'm ported I can solo oracles no problem.
My hard mode raid group puts out enough damage that I can afford using the exotic slot for SGA.

Wait, SGA is the best for killing oracles? I haven't heard anything good about it except as a way to block paths in crucible.
Hits are counted as misses and they return the ammo to the mag...

I'm flat broke now. 134 glimmer left after going on an upgrade spree. Guess I'd better start farming glimmer.
Love this update so far. So glad I actually have a use for my marks again.

Was always fun, but now, now knives everywhere. really need to try Monte Carlo with flame shield. could be a decent build.
YES!!!!! have they fixed the other planet cards? and i still need Siege Dancers...
I don't have time to explain why i don't have time to try these all out today...

I'm glad they added a low zoom scope for Patience and Time. Exotic weapons having fixed scopes makes them inferior to legendaries.
I hope they don't fix this. Thorn sounds so awesome now.
I bet it's still viable. It really was deceptively good before. Its unique mod remains amazing.

Oh cool. I'll give it a try next raid, thanks.
4 body shots is a kill
3 and run is what it was before
Or you could just two and headshot instead. It gives you the option.
All I'm saying is try it before you cry foul.

I actually think it was better before this patch. But maybe I just have to spend some more time with it.
Anything fully upgraded is just still fully upgraded. Basically, all the bubbles that were filled in before are still filled in. Ones that weren't filled in are all changed.
All the time for me. destroys on blind watch when you control the hallway up top from C to B. if all 6 shots are headshots its a kill. way better than Suros imo.
Red Death was the best Pulse Rifle in the game. havent tried it since update today though.

Although I shouldn't be calling Master Rahool a dick.. That dude's bestowed me Monte Carlo, my first Suros Regime, Gjallarhorn, Patience and Time..
