Geez Nightfall rewards seem crappier despite that there are more exotics in the loot pool (or at least I believe that). My whole team got legendary weapons that were 290.

This light system is shit sometimes. At 290+ I finally got a blue ghost shell (2nd ever) and it's 278. I got a 283 light sniper from the nightfall and Darryl got a 295. It's all over the place sometimes and makes no sense.

Sleeper Simulant could very well be a Rank 4 Gunsmith quest. However, I doubt that (given the fact 1250 REP is all you can get for a week) someone actually HAS the quest. NF-buff is gone ... and there's no other way to actually get more rep besides grinding for those Fusion Rifle drop XP thingies.

Morning DGAF.
So, as I feared with the announce of the NF buff being gone, my main motivation for running them is gone as well. And since they added new possible (crappy) rewards in the loot table for it (apparently you can also have one tier 3 charged rune from it?), it's no longer the great source of exotics it was, especially now that any boss can pop an exotic engram, even without using 3oC.
And I don't really like that strike.

I got three of those farming Draksis the other day.
I suppose that if you really wanted to, you could be rank 4 today...

I've had the same problem, my ghost is the only thing holding me back from 300 light level.

I've had a 274 since last week, today I caved and bought the Vanguard one with 280 light level. The perks on it are really good.

Hoping the raid drops the Kings Ghost Shell with 300+ light level for me this evening.

i actually got a year 2 from Xur but i haven't upgraded yet.

oh nevermind, that perk is already unlocked by default. hyyype

so i just golden gun him then? works for me.
Click to expand...

Yup! Nice thing about year 2 exotics is that the perk is immediately unlocked. One golden gun shot with the nighthawk helm does
18K damage to Oryx.

I have max Vanguard marks. .should I upgrade a year 1 exotic to year 2? I am at 289 light on my Hunter and I don't want to touch my alts until I finish all of the quests for my Hunter.

How? The first week was the only week the NF actually still gave you a reputation buff. After that ... the buff got removed and those XP Fusion Rifles started to drop.

Either that, or buy a weapon/armor from Vanguard Vendor

1000 yard stare is good, pulse rifle is good, ghost shell is good.

You must get 9 points, 3 points for every win, 1 new Game without a win gets you -1 Point

You can farm for those rep items if you really want to go rank 4.
I would never do it because it sounds horrible, but it's possible. ^^

Really? Farm 'em? :eek: How? Because if I turn in 5x 250 tonight I'll be 100XP removed from Gunsmith rank 3 haha ...

I thought they were random drops?

I have 2 1000 yard stare (quest and random drop), I would like a good PVP shotgun/sniper if that isn't already good for PVP. I made sure to buy the vanguard ghost shell already--so I can get wormwhatever with my engrams on the dreadnaught. .

I might just have to upgrade Y1 to Y2. Most of the weapons don't look that good and it would drop my light.

I have farmed tons of enemies during strikes, missions, mat farming etc. and those gunsmith rep items just stopped dropping long time ago.

I got three of them when farming Draksis last Friday.
I even got a fourth one to drop, but you can't carry more than 2 at the same time apparently. :)

noomi said:
Same here, I've had 4 of them drop, and after that not a single one....
Click to expand...
Interesting, maybe there's a cap as to how many can drop.
I'm sure I got 5 of them to drop for me, but didn't get any new one since Friday.

There is only a certain number of them. Everyone at this point can only find 4 maximum. The 5th and possibly more will likely only drop once people get to the next rank.

I did all the weapon testing and found all the relics and did all the Gunsmith quests and I'm not Rank 4.

So who has had a chance to get their Chaperone this morning?

Thing looks, sounds, and performs pretty nicely. Love the animation when you switch to it.

Also, check this out....

in love with the chaperone, i wasnt expecting that all the slugs damage would be in one shot, is a crazy amount of damage, this thing in "specialist" modifier will be a monster

I've thought this is the case as well, once you get x amount of drops they stop. Part of a future quest requirement perhaps?

It's very good, and very fun to use. The damage on it feels like the pre-nerf shotguns.... maybe that's why they nerfed 'em in the first place... because of how insane the Chaperone would be if they hadn't

I don't even think it's possible to 'grind' for the fusion rifle relic since I believe only ONE has the possibility to drop per rank.

It feels like a lot of nerfing and balancing was made with few certain weapons etc. in mind, not very good design imo. Weapon class gets nerf hammer just because there is one exotic that is way too OP otherwise.

That said is there 1 more for NFall run? Proper light level and void guns are appreciated :b

Edit: Tovarisc on PS4

Edit: Void burn and Specialist modifiers? Come at me bros, Telesto is primed!

All y'all using the same chaperone I was cuz my OG perfect roll Feltwinter's one-shots way more consistently than the chaperone so far.

Maybe if you proc the perk with your primary and then roll in with it's better but the base gun is kinda lacking imo.

Queen only has 1,000 rep worth of bounties. At this rate it'll take me until next reset to get Boolean.

And that's if Rank 3 really does give it to me, which I'm not sure it will.
