please don't do the exotic PR quest with Alts until I'm ready to join you! by the time i'm raiding, everyone will be done :(

The best part is only one person has to activate the monitors, cuz damm I couldn't make some jumps to some of them.
 
Random question... But a friend joined a group at phase 2 and the group claimed they had "all the screens unlocked." If i join him at this checkpoint and we beat phase 2, are we able to just unlock the last screen underneath the boss and get the exotic quest?? Or must everything be done in one go and within the same group?

Friend doesn't want to lose this checkpoint because he's assuming he can beat phase 2 and immediately get access to the quest. I'm just curious if this is possible or not.

You're ok as long as its the same raid activity/instance that the monitors were unlocked in, i.e. your friend did not go to orbit. Activated monitors are not maintained through checkpoints if everyone leaves.

It was lastnight, he definitely went to orbit, lol. He's under the assumption though that he can load back into the raid under his checkpoint (with new people) and still acquire the quest. So I'm guessing that's a no then, ha.
 
not a fan of Red Death either?

Not personally. I have all the exotic pulse rifles aside from the new raid Prime (soon lol) and keep a god roll Hawksaw around for shits and giggles. The Bad JuJu is the only one i come back to because it's reloading/over-penetration/super-build is pretty amazing.

I largely prefer scout firearms like the Suros DIS-43, MIDA, Last Extremity/Hung Jury etc.
 
Nooooooooooooo



If they don't nerf the 390 in the hotfix today I'm going to infuse it into my Genesis Chain. Taking a character through a 2nd run for the quest with the clan in a day or two for a second one at 390.

I need the G.Chain. Hoping to get that after work with a final boss kill. Id GLADLY infuse the 390 OptimusPrime into that or the Chaos Dogma!!! Legendary over exotic any day. Need that exotic slot for a Spindle or Thunderloard/Sleeper/Horn personally. Though a 390 MIDA... hnnnnng!

Genesis Chain is too damn good. I hope you get one!! 🙏
 
I made it to 354 last night. I'm not having any luck with a Ghost shell, though. I ranked up two factions, but they refuse to give me anything.

I'm pretty OK with the artifacts, as I've been having decent ones drop from legendary engrams.

Are you me? I've kept those same two weapons on my Hunter since I got them!

*high five*

Very high impact lower rate of fire archetype scout. It's a Hung Jury in blue and neon green lol... same gun... all will depend on which as the better perk roll.

Last Extremity is like Cocytus, Covalence Duty, and I believe the raid scout... not Hung Jury. It's slower rate of fire due to higher impact.

Any tips on how to get past 345 light level? I've been grinding through regular strikes for days, havent budged for a while. I'm in a really awkward spot, too under leveled to do the heroic strikes (keep getting paired with 340 peeps, not really in a position to be carrying lower levels). So I've been slowly building up legendary marks to buy better gear, but it's taking forever...
Reposting this here, could really use some advice. Am i on the right track, just need to grind it out? Or am I spinning my wheels here?

Anyone else think vendor and faction armor is ugly as hell and not use them? Don't really care how good they are.

Yeah they suddenly went too crazy with the faction branding, it was a lot more subtle in vanilla.

I opened something like 15 faction packages since RoI's release and I haven't gotten a single ghost. It's very rare apparently. Good thing is the raid seems to have a high drop rate.

You should just farm Omnigul until you hit 365 though, she drops everything but artifacts.

*bro-fist, blow it up!* lol

JuJu and Hawksaw are all the pulse i need. A god roll, full auto/stability Suros DIS-43, and hopefully the G. Chain and i'm good on main primaries. The MIDA, Khovostov (after it's buffed hopefully) and Hardlight (i honestly love it!) can come play every now and then but i'm an exotic in special or heavy kinda person.

That said... if OptimusPrime did solar or void burn... well, that would be a different story. ;)

is Last Extremity good? I got that as a drop and haven't used it.

Less stability, more impact, less in the clip, very slightly longer range (in comparison to Hung Jury). See my god roll on the previous page. :p

It's a good type, the lower stability really isn't that noticeable.

Anyone want in? we have two more slots on PS4

So we have to pause the raid because the world is rebooting here soon and we don't wanna be sent to orbit or disconnect when that happens and I have a doctors appointment in 2 hours. So if after I come back if everyone is down we can do the raid again then.

I would just run the septiks strike over and over to get to 365. Boring but assured progress.

I used Xur to bump me up to mostly 350, then grinded heroic strikes. Looked at my history and did about 27 strikes and by the time i was done, i was around 361. Got about 5 skeleton keys during this time as well which helped increased my LL.

Then I did a few more strikes and noticed it rained 364-365 gear once I hit 361.
Once I hit 365, I started to decrypt my exotics and got quite a few 370 stuff from it.
Sitting at 366 now. I'd be higher if it wasn't for my artifact.

My top SRs:

1. Hand of Judgement
2. Last Extremity (with HJ perks)
3. Suros DIS-43 (full auto, stability, smallbore).
4. Mida Multi Tool


Really want a Jade Rabbit, but so far I can't complain with my drops/rolls.

Actually Hung Jury isn't the high-impact scout Archetype, there is another class higher impact than HJ.

365 on the dot with my Titan. Haven't run the raid before. You still got slots, or are you looking for EXP and higher LL?

we have higher light levels so it's fine with me as long as you can hold your own through the first 3 bosses you'll get better gear and level up anyways lol but read my above post I have to pause this for now but feel free to pm me on psn

Ahh, I see. By the time you get back from that appointment, I'll have to get ready to pick up the wife from work. Will see if I can run one tonight before I head to NC for the weekend. Thanks for the offer, though.

More leveling info than you can imagine.

Hmm i see Genesis chain getting a lot of praise. Whats so good about it?

pretty steady hard hitting auto rifle been wrecked by it a couple times in pvp as well. Plus it looks gorgeous fully levelled.

Yeah it's no problem dude, good luck and have fun!

I got a crucible drop of a Cryptic Dragon that is a Hung Jury clone (triple tap, hand laid stock, firefly). Looks like it has more aim assist and I get red dot sights. It's a nice change of pace.

Ah, you might be right. I think they RoF and as a result impact and range is slightly different. I always just saw them as so similar.

Regardless... a nicely rolled Suros DIS-43 bests them all in my opinion.

My current (yes i need to infuse i know lol not having good primary luck)

It's just god tier for almost all situations with the stats and full auto. Such a versatile scout.

This is the last thing I'm missing from the House Judgement primaries. It looks really good, too. I'm still hunting down a Soulstealer's Claw with some kind of a stability perk. Perfect Balance would be ideal.

As for Scout Rifles, I've had a lot of fun with Lethe Noblesse. It was the first SR that felt good and let me go positive in the Crucible. I really didn't like the MIDA.

It's a great SR. Feels wonderful to fire, high impact, solid stability, triple tap and explosive rounds are really fun. Great for sustained fire on boss crit spots and CC.

And yeh, the fallen weapons look really good. This and Lord of Wolves are two of the best unique looking weapons in the game.

Had that one too... from Banshee ;) I personally preferred this one for my playstyle.

2 more bullets in each mag, faster reloading and the stability and range are reversed... range is already so good it never really mattered to me personally but the added stability allowed less muzzle/barrel flip so more shots are on target quicker with less stick movement.
 
Y'all don't have to worry about the OP being OP in PvP.

It's booty. It's cool, but its booty. It's dank but still booty.

You'll still get wrecked by other PRs & HCs just like an average PvP match.
