Killed the Gatelord 9 times and gotten 3 exotic helm engrams. Where the fuck are the weapon engrams ;_;
No, normal difficulty works fine.

Anyone want to team up to do GL farm?

This seems like a direct successor to the Thorn bounty. PvP aspect where you lose progression, and a final "special difficulty" Strike.
I still need to get shotgun kills but I don't fully understand which kills count and which don't. Only at 15% after shot gunning a million Majors
gave up and started killing Majors for my Sword. I'll do the shotgun part in PvP when the Raid craze is done and I return to Crucible.BenjaminBirdie

It's not really an exploit though is it? It's just faster than using ToC in strike after strike.
No reason. Join me if you want. I have no mic and no volume on my TV right now.
yeah I don't consider it one if you think about it. It's not a guaranteed drop each time you use it.

Joining you. Same no mic, no volume.
Why GL and not Scourge? Or is it all the same (rocket suicide/boss kill method)

Yeah, not really an exploit, but now you get a chance at an exotic every minute, instead of every 15 minutes. Big difference. There probably will be a cooldown added before you can use another coin.

got a zhalo supercell... permanent Stormcaller? kappa
eh I think im not going to be doing this kill n die on a story boss stuff myself. a little cheesy I guess it's pretty likely to be nerfed somehow though so go for it if you wanna stock up! it's good enough for me just using them and doing strike chains, i had a blast and it wasnt even on the heroic.

dam!
nope
well just doing a story mission rather than a strike I consider nowhere near an exploit. i don't think it's quite intended for you to kill yoruself before triggering mission end and simply kill the boss endlessly though. still, won't be a bannable thing or anything like that

Follow up, I'd actually rather use it in a real strike and get a bunch of engrams on the way and potentially get a boss legendary. Iunno, doesn't seem like any benefit except speed and then what do you have? Every exotic in a morning? They can't go higher than 290 in a drop so if your goal is to get raid ready, you're better off striking, I think.
Right?
Right?
it could work on any boss anywhere I imagine
I'm with you, wallach and I got a toooon of other stuff in addition to our exotic engrams and that was just the 36 playlist

Don't be sad. Supposedly it's the new DPS king like Gjallarhorn was.
A quest that actually requires some consistency in play?! The horror.
The gun isn't useless, use hip fire.
Ohhhh let's hope. Did you end up with Suros or Hawk?

First run with Deku, exotic primary engram.
Convenience. I've had a checkpoint at the Eye of the Gatelord boss since launch for the heroic bounty, whilst I would need to run through the entire Scourge of Winter mission to reach the boss.

ya this seems like a waste of time to me.
Same here
True, while doing the strikes you are also getting infusion materials to power up your current gear. So you are still progressing in a way while also getting a chance at an exotic drop. Plus all those engrams to level cryptarch / faction rep, strikes are the way to go.
Thanks 3 of coins!
How you got that ?

So what's going on?
People are killing the Gatelord in the story mission to get drops from the 3 of coins?

This is all from the Gatelord?
Do you use the buff just before starting to kill the boss? How long does it last?

Probably exotic primary engram. 3 of coins ups the drop rate for them against bosses.
Tbf without knowing what to expect in the Raid, and knowing very little about how powerful or useful these Exotics may be in specific scenarios, I'd say the more you have the better likelihood you have of dealing with a given encounter.
Like, think about how useful MIDA and Bad Juju and Dont't Touch Me were in the Abyss, or Ice Breaker on Oracles, that kind of thing.
This is cheesy as hell but I can't really blame the community for seizing a chance at progression which doesn't negatively affect anyone else (unlike PvP exploits) or necessarily rob them of an intended experience (like breaking a Raid with cheese).
yeah, exotics can only be looked at lateral moves in terms of progression. still if you're just looking to collect them
Fair point, though the odds may be against you of course, you could literally get 4 knucklehead radars with bad luck just as well as you could get 4 brand new uniquely useful things. but there's a chance either way
yup, so im not getting my panties in a bunch. just not my bag
im so happy with these gauntlets.

How many coins do you have left? I have 33 or so left, with 350 strange coins to purchase more haha
Yep. 5/11 now
Yeah, just tested it, got one engram, back to the tower to buy 100 more of those ToC!

Shotgun kills, do rumble like 2-3 matches and your done.
