I know Nirwen, Hawksaw and Hung Jury are the absolute best, so I don't ever bother with the armsday primaries.

Edit top of page:

What a blatant Xur ripoff.

that's the impression i got

also destiny needs a chicago typewriter

Anyone need to do a hm Oryx kill? I want that damn helmet.

I'm free now. PS4 F0X-AIV3E

 

[xxTHIN_WHITE_DUKExx]

Wow, there is 3 of us, i need to do it twice really but going with main first, and i can go anytime so whatever works for others are fine by me.

Also got the checkpoints on both characters.

Ohh my bad 4 with Souldestroyer Reborn

I'm for it. PS4 F0X-AIV3E

question: how often do people use their armsday stuff?

despite the excitement people have for what they get on wednesday, i rarely ever see anyone using armsday weapons outside of a rocket or sniper.

I still love and use my (I think) week 2 Herja-D from the gunsmith. It has Headseeker, Rangefinder, Injection Mold and the fantastic SD Thermal scope.People tend to hate on Headseeker, but I generally win 1v1 encounters against the same 14 impact pulse archetypes.

I am very much looking forward to an ace roll for the Suros PDX-45 and although it kicks like a mule, a Lyudmila-D with Counterbalance and Hand-Laid Stock.

I've seen the PDX-45 described as a better Hawksaw (depending on perks, I guess) so im interested to see the rolls on it this week.

I got a decent roll PDX-45 from a level up package which I used in all my trials games this week. If a decent roll PDX-45 is one of the options on Wednesday I expect to see lots of them in trials next week.

I learned that Gunsmith offers the same 3 roll choices if you buy the same weapon order using 3 different characters

hoping for on with Full Auto

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Wait why is there no Vanguard reputation bonus and gear on the heroic strike playlist?

Yet there is on the other 2?

 

[Frenden]

Join the meta John. It is useless to resist.

Trapt

Perfect balance, counterbalance and smallbore!

Perfect, Counter, Handlaid. Maxed stability. I still cling to my hand cannons.

Quote of the month.

Spoiler

My best roll on Hacksaw had 2/3, and no counterbalance ;_;

 

[matmanx1]

So let me get this straight: There's supposed to be a patch this week (tomorrow?) that will include the weapon parts being sold at Banshee and a few other QoL improvements, right? And also scheduled to start tomorrow is Iron Banner, which will be Clash for the first time ever.

Did I get all of that right? I've been off Destiny for a couple of weeks and haven't been keeping track of the news. I do want to participate in Iron Banner, however.

 

[WipedOut]

Pretty much and I win so far haha! Dat range and stability!

 

[JohnOfMars]

OT37: dicksaw waving contest

Fixed.

Please deliver us, December update!

(Side note: are we always going to be asking for a balance update to "deliver us"? At least this current meta isn't all about one or two exotic guns and we can actually have different rolls of legendaries and compete.)

Yep and having the patch launch during IB guarantees that you can't do the IB glitch.

I bought a vendor one so pretty much fail

Yep, the patch will probably drop at 10am PDT/6pm GMT to stop people glitching in

 

[Frenden]

I've got a meeting tomorrow around patch time, so I'll have to join on someone else's banner bus later.

 

[Toki767]

I take it Iron Banner is still going to drop sub 300 gear?

 

[inthrall]

...which will be Clash for the first time ever

I hadn't heard this (been a bit more out of the loop than usual), but oh boy KDR matters again. This means I'l be less happy with teammates who cant capture points, and only unhappy with people who can't PvP. Sounds like a step down to me

Spoiler

Iron Rift please bungee

I maxed out my vendor one Saturday and infused it to 297. Yesterday I got the one above w/ Perfect Balance, Zen Moment, & Smallbore. Oh the weapon parts wasted!

Of course.

Not too dead

I wonder if laggy banana will have another godroll for grabs

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Thanks gammacide and narasingh for helping with nightfall, got the gloves finally!

Are you still running it? I need to do it three times.

Did it a bunch of times, finally got the gloves. I can still help you if you don't have a third..

What other godroll would we even be excited about though?

Any advice on that nightfall? I tried it Friday, but kept dying when the add wave came during the last portion of the boss fight with both bosses out.

I need that Titan helmet.

I wanted to start a proper nightly PvP bus last week, too, but I didn't know the MST3K thing was gonna pop off when it did. It's kinda like crunch at a dev--tons of stuff to draw and right during Iron Banner prime time! Doh.

 

[Afrocious]

good question

idk. another pulse would be boring. perhaps a scout rifle. or a sniper or rocket.

im holding out for gjally jr. unless truth fills that slot

This post gave me a thought. Bungie could increase the # of people playing in a given week ten fold if they were to put a year 2 Gjally in the loot table and not tell anyone. Someone gets it in a Nightfall and puts it on reddit. People would lose their goddamn minds.

It would get people to play NF again. I haven't done one in two weeks.

Were you trying to solo it? Focus on the adds, let one person distract maaul while others kill ads. I use bad juju to build super due to trickle, can also use red death on adds to get health back.

When you're about to kill tulurn, make sure maaul is really weak so you can finish him off as soon as tulurn dies, thus avoiding the final wave of major adds.

 

[Trakan]

Counterbalance with hand-laid stock or bust.

He was playing with me. The third was someone I didn't know. He left after a few wipes, and me and John were bored of doing it. I'd already done it twice so I wasn't too torn up about quitting. The modifier combo is just really tough. Trickle plus Grounded, and small arms nerfing your sniper/shotgun and Heavy make it really tough if even one person isn't on point. The thirty second revive timer is the real killer.

Grounded is ass. The worst modifier ever.

Is it possible to get loot from both Normal and Hard mode KF in a single week? I'm at 299 and having a hard time raising light level outside of raid gear.

Only if RNG deems you worthy, but yes in theory.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

People still play this game ?!

 

[Afrocious]

What are you making?

i'm coding up an app that logs dropped gear players get.

right now, i'm at the hurdle of dealing with bungie's API. last week was rough, but i made enough progress to get a better grasp on accessing data.

what's your PSN? I can show you an example of what I can access (it's all public knowledge you can see on bungie's site so no worries there).
