Is a (leveled) scout rifle in PVP really as godly as some people make it out to be?

Sorry it's from a few pages back, this thread moves so quick!

I use a good to great scout rifle and consistently land in one of the top two spots on my team. You have to work around its weaknesses, though (such as getting a fusion rifle in the special slot to cover the mid-to-low range).

Study the maps and stick to longer corridors/open areas. You'll clean up all those ARs.

The magazine size is due to the rate of fire though. You'll burn through that entire magazine quick. I have an AR that has max fire rate (just a rare) and it also has a large magazine. It's a good medium distance weapon. Worthless at long range due to recoil/low impact.

I got that gun too, the recoil really lets it down but it can be great sometimes.

I found an artefact tonight which gave me an exotic Titan chest piece!

I play a Warlock. Fuck you, Destiny. Fuck you to hell.

Dude, toda, I dunno if you're reading this, sorry for the weirdness but I'm just messing around trying to get the hive majors bounty XD about to restart the mission!
 
Thought I needed one more bounty to complete for Vanguard level 3. Nope, I'm just one freaking point shy of leveling up.


Alright, just need to do one patrol.

Yo sorry I quit out on you. My internet went down and then I just couldn't be bothered anymore as I had been played for most of the day already...

Guys what's the best way to get Legendary equipment? I think I must have spent around almost four hours doing the hive gate entrance on the moon mission via level 9 hard and only got to 21/22 with all blue gear with some Strange Coins and few blue drops/a lot of greens!

Just keep at it?


Play crucible/strikes for rep/marks instead of driving yourself crazy with boring farming of low level enemies hoping to hit lottery.

Gotta ask, as a fellow Titan, how are you using your super in strikes and boss battles? Do you focus on minions while the rest of your team uses their big stuff on the boss? That's pretty much how I've played both striker and defender because otherwise its damn near suicide.

Its also the prime reason I started a hunter, so I could actually use my powers to help take down bosses.

The truth is supers are wasted against bosses alrogether. They are pretty much always best spent eliminating adds not only for superior orb generation but to increase firing uptime against the boss (which is where your real DPS comes from).

Tomorrow... We all buy sweet loot.

I'll be buying both the Hunter exotic and the exotic engram. Taking my chances with it lol

I'm hoping the Hunter exotic is Achlyophage Symbiote.

Well, after many hours, that raid attempt has failed lol. Upside is I have it saved at the final boss. Maybe next time...
 
So I'm level 25.

I have 2 Crucible marks left and my weekly Crucible mark cap is at 82/100. Can I do anything in order to gain more Light or should I stop playing Destiny till tuesday, when they reset the caps?

Don't farm. Those 4 hours could have gone into grinding rep for vanguard/crucible or any other faction of choice. In those 4 hours you could have got 65 crucible marks by playing PvP and completing bounties. With those marks you could have bought a legendary, provided you are lvl 2 or higher with your chosen faction.

TLDR: DO NOT farm, it's going to make you frustrated. It's a time sink not guaranteed to net you anything at all, and even if you happen to come across a legendary engram, it's never guaranteed.

I was hopin to grab that exotic hunter helm this weekend but chances are the inventory has changed :( not too keen on exotic weapons though. Unless it's an exotic pulse or scout with decent impact/high stability id rather take my chances with armor.

Upgrade the defense on your gear? Buy stuff from Vanguard?

You make a compelling argument. Do you generate more orbs if you take out more enemies with your super?

Hey guys looking for a level 22+ strike team to do the weekly raid on XB1, i've almost got enough strange coins to buy another exotic item.

GT: Chompasaur Lvl 25 Titan

Thanks.

Very true. After spending most of my time using my super on bosses it took me quite while to get this. Use your super when the adds are spawning, getting dropped in via ship or you're getting overwhelmed. Most efficient way to use them

Disagreed. I already build my super fast enough, and using my sun singer super to spam sticky grenades at bosses is awesome and does a ton of damage.

Now for some personal notes of shame..
yikes. welp. this one definitely has me hooked.

also, I went on a hunt at lunch...
*sigh*

First time I've ever bought a console on impulse... first time I've ever bought a console without the intent to get any games for it, for that matter. I heard it's actually got some good stuff though, so, um, happy to accept suggestions for awesome Vita games!

btw, is it okay with you guys that this whole remote play over internet thing just blows my fucking mind apart? I had no idea the streaming technology had become this viable. obviously it's nowhere near perfect but just the concept that I can log in and gather some mats or check items from anywhere...

Truth be told I got it because I'm going out of town for the weekend but I've got 23 strange coins and if Xur has something good...

I completely agree. Which is why I think the Hunter is the least effective against mobs of adds.

I'll be building my Warlock tonight. Eventually a Titan as well.

I good set of primary/special with plenty of Heavy ammo is what bosses should be getting hammered with.
