Let us know how often you get legendary equipment and when.

There is a chest after opening the gate that everyone gets loot from that can drop legendaries/exotics/rare crafting materials. Then after you defeat the three phases of the first boss you are awarded loot. Next in the gorgon maze there are 2 chests that have the same properties of the other chest i mentioned. I only made it to the beginning of the second/last boss so i don't know if you get loot for killing him, then again for completing the raid. Also, i was pretty tired when we did the first boss and i vaguely remember getting rare crafting materials for completing the first 2 phases. I could be wrong about that though.

What's the consensus on Hand Cannons as a whole? I enjoy using them, I just want some thoughts.

As long as you've got a decent one (high impact, good stability, >5 shots, good reload) they're pretty awesome.

You can 3SK in PvP with them if you get headshots, so basically it's the Halo 1 pistol.

Man people are taking that cave farming seriously, I just walked up to where they were standing and a Titan put a bubble over me so I wouldn't be able to shoot lol

On the Vanguard armor, is it the stats that are randomized every few hours (strength, discipline, intellect), the upgrades, or both?

Just hit rank 2, wanna make sure before I pull the trigger on buying two legendaries.

Yea man, I'm just shilling it up!!

I've known Luke for ten years, but NOW is the time to start sucking that D for a job. Give me a break dude.

I wasn't even commenting about how much you suck up to Luke, but it's funny that you think that's the first thing someone would criticize you for. I was commenting on the "you can spawn with the OP thing too, might as well exploit that" attitude that 343 also had for Halo 4.

Any tips on how to take on the Nightfall strike? Or should we just pray for mercy?

Make sure you and your teammates are in a place you can't get surrounded. funnel the enemies your way and take the ultras out one by one. Doorways are a great place to set up.

That Legendary Engram turned into my second legendary shotgun. Whilst comparing them I noticed something. The random shotgun drop in the Raid is indeed raid gear. It has the usual upgrade stuff with a bonus damage to a certain raid enemy upgrade as well as what looks like an extra lot of damage upgrades.. so I guess those legs I dismantled had useful Raid bonuses :( So I guess..

PSA: Anything dropped in the raid (legendary/exotic) is raid gear. It is not named or marked in any particular way, it just has extra special upgrades.

Anyone besides me waiting to buy Legendary Gear on Friday just to see what the Exotic merchant is selling?

It's not like you can get sell your legendaries to get your marks back...

Love it, so hard hitting and great for headshots in pve. Make sure the handcannon you get can upgrade the clip size, cause anything less than 8 sucks, I got one that upgraded to 13 and love it.

For 2 days in a row? Bungie is trolling.

I bet Salvage was supposed to be a normal mode like the rest of them but they decided to make it a weekend only thing to keep the players and to keep it as a mode people want to play but forgot to remove the Salvage bounties from the pool of bounties it draws from during the week.
 
playing control against an entire team of hunters makes me want to stab myself in the face with a spoon, all that ohk bullshit is stupidly broken.

Just like last weeks, find spots where the mobs wont chase you and fight them from there. Which is usually the doorway before you found the mobs, or maybe a little bit further back and fight them from there. Make sure everyone has a secondary weapon of all three damage elements to remove shields. Being that one of the modifers this week is juggler, you are probably going to want ammo replenishment consumables, its definitely doable without but it will speed things up.

So I was at "the cave" farming for a while when this happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABnRG8GdIgA&feature=youtu.be

I had this happen twice today. I'm not sure if they increased the amount it happens but I spent the same amount of time yesterday and didn't see it at all. The first time was similar to the video, but that room to the left turned into a monster closet. Both times were incredibly fun.

Also got my first legendary. Of course it was for a different class, but I was expecting it from all the sadness in this thread and I'm looking forward to get a warlock leveled up eventually.

Equip void weaponry.

Thanks for the tips.

I've got a fully upgraded void fusion rifle and a legendary lmg with void damage. Should probably go to tower and buy some ammo packs too.

I'm simply not buying a chest for now, because my plan is to get a specific exotic chest. If next weekend comes and they once again don't have the chest (assuming they don't have it this weekend) then I give up and I'll buy a legendary chest or helmet so I can go to the raid. I mean also once again assuming I don't get a legendary helmet via crucible or something.
 
Lol we avoided the entire jumping area. By finding a way to jump onto a ledge that was on the other side. We win Bungie
Got off at the third checkpoint.

This. Is. Hard. But fun.
People who think they can do this with randoms have another thing coming to them. You need so much cooperation it's not even funny.

Oh shit. I have to do 25 Strikes for Bad Juju!? Why did no where mention this? They just say "additional strikes". Fuuuuuck. Guess I just have to suck it up and do random ones? Wonder how long it'll take to solo the lowest level moon one? If it'll be quicker than doing random ones with randoms? Just did the 22 heroic moon solo and that didn't take too long.
