DO mind sharing what shader you are using I really digging this look. I am also mad jealous I feel like I have been level 20 forever. :(

Edit: to be clear guys/gals I have not even tried the spinmetal thing so no clue how fast it is, but yes my understanding is you sell to vanguard quartermaster for rep and marks.

-I got to level 20 last night and am confused as to what I should be doing now to continue to level up. Someone said I should be doing a bunch of Strikes and PVP matches hoping to get some equipment with Light in it?

-Is it possible for me to get a Legendary/Exotic loot drop at level 20?

-What do the factions you can join do? Should I join both or none of them?

-Does basic EXP earned in battles mean nothing to me now, as leveling up is strictly done through picking up Light drops?

-Is doing Strikes from the playlist the same as going to a planet and doing Strikes that way?

Any insight to help me understand better would be appreciated. I'm with Ghaleon, none of this makes a lick of sense to me so far since I've gotten to 20.

Got two exotic chests last night! First one was for Titan and I was super pissed haha. But then I got a hunter one like an hour later. Both from legendary engrams of course.

Now I just need to get to 27 so I can hopefully finish my exotic handcannon bounty. Apparently it's super tough.

And snipers
And shotguns
And auto rifles

Aye, that's the thing. I can't argue that Supers aren't overpowered, they are. But so are everybody else's. Plus all those weapons above. And all the rest. And the vehicles.

Everything in PvP is overpowered. It's more like a superhero fight than your bog-standard deathmatch. I go in with that mindset and enjoy myself immensely.
 
How are people killing me in one shot with the fusion rifle but I can't? Whenever I do it it only drops their shields and some health. People are straight up one shotting me with it though and they're not getting my head every time. I've been jumping above them before when they did it.

Do they just have one with that high of an impact rating or something?
 
Do people really think shotguns are worse than fusion rifles?

Fusion rifles are shotguns with 3-5x the range.

Agreed. I don't mind any of the other weapons/skills but that fusion rifle has one shotted me from The other side of the map too many damn times. It doesn't help that it looks like a rifle too, until it one shots you.

I can't answer all your questions, but the answer to this one is no. Whatever class you chose has two separate subclasses. You can still earn EXP to level up a subclass that you have not maxed out yet.

they have a charge time and visuaudio tells. and you can dodge them.

I think fusion rifles are far worse, but there's an easy way for Bungie to fix this. Just make it so you don't spawn with special ammo from the start of the game.

Fusion Rifle doesn't do headshot damage.

They all kick up hard, you have to aim center mass and fight the recoil down immediately, if you don't and any shots go astray, you won't 1hko.

If you do aim it perfectly, you can 1hko people out to close-medium range, which is pretty amazing. Outside shotgun range, and inside the range people usually use ARs... which won't beat you in time if you're on target.

Range. A well aimed fusion blast at short to short-medium range should 1HKO. If you're not getting that when you try, aim a little more carefully so you hit with the full blast.

Damn dude, looking good.

What was your secret to getting there? What did you do the most?
Crucible, luck, Vanguard, more luck, and Exotic bounty. Oh, and even more luck with engrams.

You should be fine. We went in with a party slightly less geared than you (I still had all Blue weapons) and we managed to progress :)

You will die though. A lot. And often. Especially at the very start. And on the next section too.
I know. I'm prepare to die for the cause. Leeeeeeerrooooyyyyy Jeennnkkkiiiiiinnnnsssss!!

Ummm. You can do that? That is the R1 after run charge, right?
Yep.

Level 26 Hunter (Bladedancer)
Level 26 Hunter (Bladedancer)
Level 26 Warlock (Voidwalker)
Level 27 Warlock (Voidwalker)
Level 27 Titan (Defender)
Level 27 Titan (Striker)



We made it past the boss in the second area, past the labyrinth, and found the Vault of Glass room. We stopped though because two people needed to leave.

What are your thoughts on the best Titan spec for the raid? 1 of each was best or maybe it's kidna fight-dependent? I'm not sure what to focus on yet
 
Anyone interested in doing the Level 24 weekly strike with me? I'm a lvl 24 warlock trying to get some strange coins.

PSN (PS4): longmeat

if you're interested invite me to your fireteam.

Ah ok, I'm probably too far away. Makes sense. I'm not trying to pick people off from across the map but I'm not in medium range either.

I only have one rare piece to replace and I'll be fully legendary/exotic. I can get Crucible to rank 2 or just wait until I have enough Vanguard marks to buy the last piece. Decisions, decisions.
 
It's surprising how much the Weekly Strike differs in difficulty, this week's only had Heroic and Angry as modifiers so it was a piece of cake compared to the Herioc / Arc Burn combo of last week.

One other thing, FRs with longer charge time deal more damage per blast, so if you want more consistent 1 hit kills, use a slow charging FR... but of course, then you have to deal with the longer charge time.

Faster charge times are better in pve imo, they're often overkill for the weaker enemies, so being able to shoot quickly is nice.

Keep in mind this also means that a faster charge mod will actually lower your 1hk potential in pvp slightly, though the specifics depend on what the baseline charge time/impact was on the FR to begin with.

edit: They also have no damage falloff, so firing them long range at fat enemies in pve works great
