What's so great about it?

While it maybe low impact if you can get a stable roll the fire rate allows you to spam the fire button for a continuous stream of bullets, which with high caliber rounds can severely throw off your targets aim.

That gun is beast. Been using it as my primary for ages now. Just need some 300+ primaries to level it up!
not the best gun in my arsenal, but my faovirte gun nonetheless
I think this has been the least stressful IB for me yet. Just doing the 3 daily bounties + a few extra games each day meant I was able to turn in 2 out of the 3 weeklies to hit rank 5 today. I never was able to get the top score in a game (although I had second several times) to complete that one weekly but I didn't even need it.
As the week progressed I ended up going almost exclusively with Red Death, 1000-Yard Stare with Hidden Hand (would you like some aim assist with your aim assist?) and Baron's Ambition for my heavy slot.
I used to be a pretty heavy duty shotgun user but for some reason I stink with them now, which is actually just fine with me. I'd rather stay at mid range most of the time and let Red Death do its work while mixing in the occasional snipe if I get the chance.
I started off the week using Objection IV (New Monarchy vendor MG) but a heavy ammo crate only gives 36 rounds for that gun versus 72 for the Baron's Ambition. Against any opponent who was quick to dodge I found myself running out of ammo after 3 kills or so with the Objection IV. Objection IV does hit harder per round but not twice as hard, meaning Baron's Ambition's larger magazine (and bigger range and better stability) used smartly could usually get me 5+ kills and was sometimes even able to last until the next Heavy Ammo crate.
One final word on my experience as a Sunbreaker this week: In an objective based game mode with an active radar and 12 players on the field, Sunbreaker is in its element. Targets are plentiful and you know exactly where they are, most of the time. It was rare that I didn't get at least 3 kills and up to 5 kills sometimes.
Alternatively in Rumble or Skirmish I find Subreaker underwhelming. With less players on the field and no set objectives to gravitate towards it is much more difficult to find targets. Additionally the hammers have a travel time and an arc shaped flight path meaning its easier to put an obstacle between yourself and a hammer than it would be with something like golden gun.
I also think smart players have gotten used to hearing that "CLANK" sound and running the heck away. I know I do.
Will Sunbreaker be a force in Trials? Maybe. They are still tough to take down. But certain maps that are larger in size and offer plenty of obstacles to hide behind will make it tough for a Sunbreaker to get kills. It should be interesting to see what happens.

I agree with most of your points, but especially this - people definitely scatter as soon as the sound effect is heard. I'm curious how it will play out in ToO. Part of me says that because there are only 3 opposing players it won't be as much of a threat, but the other part says that because it will force teams to scatter/run for their lives, any team with a Titan will basically be able to clean everyone up as they run away.
I'd be down. Buttchin-n-Bones

I got 50 Three of Coins and looking to farm some strikes. Anyone bored for an hour? Or I'll jump in on Iron Banner if anyone has room.
The "Second Wind" perk on the Iron Banner boots are the best in slot. Nothing is better than getting 15 seconds of increased movement speed and weapon switching.
If you die 10 times a match, that is 150 seconds of much faster than average movements. Highly recommended for PvP.

That's good. My boots dropped with those perks. Is that one standard or random?

This guy joined in at the very end of an IB match and went 0-0 and got boots. That... shoudn't happen
Try this when Vertigo loads up.
Ignore B. Capture A/C, do nothing but hold A/C, and alternate between A, the portal platform, and C. Bring a pulse/scout, shotgun, and good RL (preferably truth). The shotgun is for fighting opponents that use the portal when you're on the platform. If there are a ton of enemies on A/C when you're on the platform, throw a grenade in, shoot some shots, hide behind the pillar when necessary.
You are almost guaranteed to be the top player if you can do this.

I was playing solo.
He deserved those boots!

Yeah...absolutely no argument for this. But the sad thing is Bungie simply doesn't give a fuck.
I bought the boots, so it's whatever is standard for Titan's at least, not sure if the other classes have different perks.

Dumb question here but I am new to Destiny and lost at the moment.
I cant figure out how to start the Taken King campaign.
I have the Taken King installed and used the consumable to boost my level to 25 but I cant figure out how to start the Taken King campaign. Help!
Never mind, I just found the mission on Phobos. Duh!
