I would wait a little before doing it.
Someone might try to stay a full ingame day cycle to check for some weird stuff.
My guess is that is the part where you go out and shoot the Darkness with it to fulfill the imperative for creating it.
I think Bungie overhyped SS and questline to unlock it, resulting in inflated expectations by community.
Well Vex and Paradox mission are our keys to traveling in time, I would guess. Time to Explain clearly is reference to Exo Stranger who most likely is time traveler, e.g. her rifle design isn't possible in our timeline. This to me suggests that at some point we will reverse engineer Vex tech that allows them to travel in time and between different timelines.
MIDNIGHT EXIGENT is codename that Rasputin gave for Darkness.

Its a lore point, means Rasputin still has his moral procedures disabled (aka he may do things for the greater good, which could destroy us as a side effect)
I guess I need to start upgrading a legendary primary then. Supercell might take the backseat while I try it out.
If I got the quest. I will know in a hour or two.

Would be cool if so, but I think what we get today probably it.
Ok then I bet HM Oryx drops a rare classified material (like Crux of Crota) that allows us to keep going with the Time to Explain quest line.
I remember the interview that said they didn't want the game to be a job. But if you couldn't finish the warsat thing last night you're OOL?
Bungie pls.

The weird thing about the SS to me is that the perks make it seem like a weapon for add management, but it's really bad against groups of enemies. The ricochets don't track so they're kind of useless. But the thing does pretty beastly single target damage. I just wish they'd make the perks on it more meaningful because it's just flash right now.
BahamutPT says it works on Pocket Infinity. Y1 raid boots also work on the Stimulant. It's only Y2 legendaries that don't work on it.

That mystery is all about Praedyth.
Eris mysteries are about Toland.
and Sleeper mystery was about Rasputin.

I was planning on doing a multi-hour play session just now, but this SS bullshit put a bad taste in my mouth. See you tomorrow guys.
Sucks against groups, beast against single targets. Kinda ironic considering whole point of ricochet ammunition is that you would be more efficient in clearing large amounts of trash mobs. For ricochet to work at meaningful power level it would require tight corridors, small rooms etc. so they get maximum amount of bounces from surfaces to targets.
I wonder what kind and time related mystery we get for Exo Stranger and that rifle.
Somebody should test "Increases shotgun ammo" with UR or "Increases sniper ammo" with NLB - might be that perk affects the slot, not the weapon type
So the problem is Bungie, God knows why, has several repeated perks...
We have the "Carry more ammo for X" and "Increases the amount of X ammunition" which provide the same effect, the same way we have "More Super from non-Guardian kills" and "More Super from killing minions of the Darkness".
So they're most likely coded differently in the game. This in turn will change the behavior if someone from Bungie team screwed something up while implementing the new one, and not simply copying the behavior.
Not sure why they created "new" perks instead of reusing the old ones though... The old ones still appear in the new gear, as my Y2 boots can prove.

Im pretty bummed
The quest should be fully completable once you score the receiver
Not sure why they make these weird gating decisions...
Like its cool to have these events but those of us that were actually there and working on it shouldnt be forced to wait

The Alchemist's Raiment is a special kind of weird because the description for the ammo perks are different if you inspect the item and look at the individual nodes. On one it says that Heavy ammo drops more frequently, on the other it says "Carry more heavy ammo". I think it's both? idk. It's fuckin weird.

Can I at least complete the SS quest up to the Ikelos Core after unlocking it?
I have only done the first story mission. I still need to climb the tower

Hahaha, I know. I was confused too. Looks like it increased the ammo, not the drops though.
I'll be testing the Fusion Rifle perk with the Vex Mythoclast in a moment.

I'm confused... I grabbed the fusion core before going to bed. Am i able to continue working on that or no?

I believe so, but you will be locked out from doing the strikes until... tomorrow maybe?
-_-
Not today, from the looks of things.
Edit - Rather you can do the steps to repair that core but it doesn't progress to the final step when you turn it in today.
And you're right! The "Increases the amount of X ammunition you can carry" perk is somehow tied to the weapon slot and not the weapon type, thus the FR perk not working with the Sleeper or Mythoclast.

Yes, you can still charge it, but it will be a dead end there.
My favorite exotic armor. All I do when I play hunter now is stealth my team forever and annoy them. I envy your 310

YES! Congrats to all who got the Sleeper! Will be getting it tomorrow morning apparently after I finish the warsats tonight. Fridays are the best days ever. Xur comes in, but this Fridays even crazier. I get the Sleeper
I really wasn't a huge fan on how this whole mission thing was done but eh. I get the Sleeper no matter what. Also, I KNEW the Saber strike was gonna have SOMETHING to do with the gun.
How good is it in Crucible?

We dont know that yet, the quest may not continue until the next Sleeper event. Keep your expectations in check just in case.
