So how exactly do these Exotic bounties work? So you just complete one mission and get the weapon, or is it a string of missions?

 

[MistaPropella]

I was just last night thinking, why doesnt any mission beyond the tutorial have Tripmines or other traps?

Because those Tripmines are relics from a past era and no one has the knowledge to craft them.

You buy a faction class item from them for glimmer and when you wear it all rep goes to the faction.

what the hell? not one piece? I'm at cryptarch level 8 and wearing full legendary + one exotic weapon

OK cool. Where are these dudes at? I'd like to check out what they've got before I pick for my Warlock!

You appear to be from the future, that event hasn't started quite yet. (Queens Wrath)

Haha, okay. I was just checking the wiki and there she was listed and there were weapons listed for her too so I thought she was lurking somewhere in there.

Four if you count the part of learning what weapon it is.

Motes of light. Hopefully these will eventually be able to be used for something useful.

 

[naeS]

Just did some bounties and a mote of light and the ship blueprint "The Fangs of Nyx" that's cool. Didn't know I could get stuff from handing in bounties. Haven't before.

I got that blueprint yesterday from a chest in The Shattered Coast. And a Legendary Engram. The chests are juicy in that area.

actually I thought I was unfortunate, there are people with less time spent and much better gear

 

[theSlacker]

So I can't seem to find 2 dead ghosts and have seen them mentioned as bugged. One on mars and the other in the bunker on earth. Is there anything that unbugs them, like leaving the planet and going back or is it if you don't see them then you can't get them.

This seems like a nifty site, plug your name in and it does stuff!

http://www.destinydb.com/

Give it time. This game is not an end product like every reviewer would have the un-educated gaming masses to believe. I firmly believe this game is going to evolve into something big by the end of it's life cycle.

This is Bungie we're talking about.

Halo 2
2004
Basic, but solid, implementation of a 100 person clan system alongside your Xbox LIVE friends list. Halo 2's online features also formed the basis of the party and Matchmaking systems on the Xbox/Xbox 360.

Halo 3
2007
Four player local and online co-op campaign. In any mix of the two types that you wanted.

Halo Reach
2010
Four player (two local) online Firefight Matchmaking.

Bungie knows networks.

FML. The exotic weapon better be a 100% certain reward.

To the summoning pits I go!

You could buy an exotic engram from Xur for 23 or something iirc.

Anyway I've hit the vg mark limit, guess its pvp time.

When is reset day?

 

[IxmagicmanIx]

what the hell? not one piece? I'm at cryptarch level 8 and wearing full legendary + one exotic weapon

Got literally one, but it was for a different class. I must have turned in hundreds of blue engrams by now and roughly two dozen purple if not more. Kill me.

 

[FF Seraphim]

My cryptarch is level 13. I have no purple armor.

How are people leveling this guy up? I at at level 4 with him just decrypting items for me. Are you guys just doing Strikes and getting items?

On tuesday. Don't know the exact time though.

Same here. He's half way thru level 4. Can't understand how people are getting so much loot when all I get from a strike normally is the end prizes :<

So how exactly do these Exotic bounties work? So you just complete one mission and get the weapon, or is it a string of missions?

They all have three to four parts - I just completed one of them for the Invectus shotgun and am almost done with the Thorn Pistol. You typically have to kill X number of enemies at Y location, then X number of guys in the crucible, then buy/farm X number of a material, then defeat a boss or something. Then the exotic weapon will unlock. They all seem to do about 260dmg but can be upgraded like 4 or 5 times. The later upgrades require some endgame mats, like Ascendant Shards, etc.

I was about to ask the same thing.

Great thanks!

Thanks for the friend add btw. I believe it was you who added me from the OT2 :> Shame we haven't played together yet!

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

if you run and press crouch, you can slide foward
in this case he has a shotgun that provides a long slide, so he runs towards the enemy, slide with shoot and then punch with melee attack
real good tecnic
and more, if you shoot, then use melee, you can shoot another time quickly than shoot twice, this reset shotgun's cooldown

Nice tips. THanks

Maybe we should play together, then we have nobody to drag down. I think I'm the absolute worst PvP Player on this side of the Galaxy.

Let's compete. "THE RACE TO THE BOTTOM" lol


I feel like I have so many things I don't know about the game. Today I'll just focus on finishing the game's story mode and finish all the missions on the planets, and visit that Bosses thingy near the Crucible

Its really random. lots of people have played for hours and gotten 1-2 legendary drops that have nothing to do with their class, or they get a ton.

Yeah, I've been adding as many people as I can who post their IDs. Playing with Hawkian and stargateheaven last night was FANTASTIC fun. So I'd love to play with more GAF'ers to get the most out of this game.

 

[wrog]

Shit, I got two exotic weapons from legendary engrams (Hand Cannon The Last Word and Rocket Launcher Gjallarhorn) and I don't know which one I should use.

No I mean, how are people have him at level 13 already, I am only at level 4 with him and I have no idea what people are doing to level him up quickly.

Use either one of them to shoot yourself in the head mate Hmh.

I got my first exotic bounty 15 minutes ago when I handed in 5 bounties at once.

 

[Klyka]

They farm nexus runs then decrypt everything, then use their 25k glimmer limit to buy more stuff from him to level him up. rinse and repeat. we have people here who do the nexus runs for HOURS.

 

[CouchMaster]

Uh wait, at what point did Bungie say that Salvage will be up each weekend?
All it said was 12th-14th of september, right?

The guy I quoted said its weekends only, I dunno if its true or not.

If you have a little distance to your target, there is nothing better than a pulse rifle with good stabilty.

 

[IxmagicmanIx]

Engram farming and playing an unhealthy amount desperately trying to get purple armor that I'll apparently never get.

Oh lord are you serious? I tried to do a Nexus farm run and after 30 minutes I said fuck it I'm just going to do PvP.
But get lots of Glimmer and buy stuff... hmm... doesn't sound fun...

 

[ComputerMKII]

I'm finally Level 24! \o/

Would certainly be handy, I've managed to solo some of the strike missions but the heroics are just taking the piss, and I don't want to go begging people to join me.

 

[MistaPropella]

For those of you that would like to preview your shaders before buying, destiny tracker hooked us up!

http://db.destinytracker.com/Character

Send me to Venus baby, VENUS. If old.

Thanks Mate, now that is useful. They should allow it in the Game, no way I spent 2500 of my hard earned Glimmer on a Shader I can't even preview.

 

[Savantcore]

Just had that Delphi map three times in a row on PVP. bleurgh.

 

[gutterboy44]

Ok, so I have a question about Crucible weapon stats. I was involved in a sniper heavy team death match on the moon, and there was clearly people with higher fire rate sniper rifles. In PvE I have been holding on to a sniper rifle with much larger impact with the trade off of a slower fire rate. In team death match, it was two shots (non head shot) for both our rifles to kill each other, but his fire rate was substantially faster. So are things like impact leveled off but obviously fire rate not? Seems stupid. If there is no weapon damage difference, just go for the highest fire rate possible right?

 

[Diablohead]

How do you get exotic bounties?

I believe it's random like the rest of the game.
