I shouldn't have switched from FWC to Dead Orbit. I haven't gotten a single decent drop from ranking them up.

 

[optimus8936]

So if I didn't get the Unbent Tree from the IB bounties and rank ups you're screwed?

What a fucking dumb way to lock out a drop. Fuck off

Isn't that the auto rifle? You can get that from post match drops........

And that's how they've done it for as long as I can remember.

 

[JJShadow]

6 faction level ups, 6 class items, 2 boots, all same or lower than currently wearing.

Helmet at 365 everything else at 370 on armour, no helmet drop, 6 times,wtf.

Somethings up surely.

This happened to me as well some days ago, was stuck with the same boots for ages (boots at 370, everything else around 380), ranked up 6 times factions and no boots at all, only chest pieces.

Eventually I got the boots aftee 10 factions rank ups, so praise RNGesus

Correct. The AR and shotgun drop after matches. All the other weapons are just random quest/bounty rewards.

 

[X-Frame]

I haven't gotten Gauntlets to drop at all, for any character, yet I have about 15 shotguns and Auto rifles each. Geez.

 

[Jabronium]

Been a weird IB for me. Got a ship, but no shader, emblem, or sparrow. A few garbage Unbent Trees and a couple junk shotguns. Infusion fuel but nothing really usable. Still grinding away for drops and crucible/faction rep but it feels like I'm playing a different IB than everyone that's getting rained on.

My skeleton keys are burning a hole in my pocket. Can't decide between trying for Imago Loops (the thought of just getting a bunch of titan marks is terrifying though) or Treads Upon Stars.

And they have been dropping like candy for me. Sadly Auto Rifles dont seem to hold up well against the other weapon types atm.

No need for despair, it's for sale from IB vendor.

Any warlock willing to assist on the final puzzle for the Prime quest? Shem0275 psn if so.

I doubt you'll need it by then, but I'm going to try to raid in a bit and once I'm done I'll be at the same step with my warlock.

Let's take a step back, chief.

The IB vendor is selling it. It also drops as a post-game award. I have like 15 of them lol.

Seriously... So many ARs. Infusing weapons I don't even care about to over 380 just bc I'm running out of vault space.

Only one artifact and no machine guns, unfortunately. I was praying for multiple artifact drops so I didn't have to head back to the CoO.

 

[LiK]

No IB helm, chest or heavy weapons at all. Got everything else multiple times. it's just all infusion fodder since i don't like them for PVP anyway.

I can't get a shader or emblem to drop. But I've gotten 3 machine guns, the rocket launcher, the pulse, and endless shotguns and ARs. RNG is a tricky beast lol

 

[LiK]

The emblems and shaders seem to be the rarest. Thankfully, they dropped for me.

 

[stay gold]

Got a second Clever Dragon. Has Braced Frame, Snapshot or Appended Mag & Rangefinder. Should be pretty nasty with AM offsetting the defecit from Braced Frame.

 

[Strangelove77]

Anyone doing a quick raid in the next hour or so?

 

[wesleyshark]

Definitely seem to be the rarest for sure. All I want is that dang Knight-Errant shader lol

 

[Clunker]

Looking for 4 more on Xbox for fresh WotM run on Wednesday around this time: PM or reply here!

I'm on Xbox and interested in setting up a raid Wednesday morning, around 11am EDT: Let's celebrate Yom Kippur by kicking Aksis in the hamentashen!

I'm 367LL now thanks to IB and have experience up to the final phase of Aksis; I haven't done Phase 2 yet but have researched and know the general idea, so I'm looking for folks who are relaxed and don't mind while I learn Phase 2 (or want to learn themselves).


WotM this Wed, 10/11 at 11am Eastern:

1. Clunker (GT: Holden Cawffle)
2. wbarreda
3.
4.
5.
6.

I can use the100 and Reddit fireteams to fill, but like playing with Gaffers ideally!

 

[optimus8936]

What are some other good IB weapons right now? I already have Clever Dragon(pulse rifle) and I'm loving that. I never had a good Grasp so this thing is great to have. What else is worth obtaining?

The Machine Gun is ridiculous, easily the best LMG in the game right now.

The Silvered Dread lmg if you can get lucky from a bounty/rank up. Might be my favorite IB weapon out of all the ones I have gotten to use so far. It makes other LMGs seem like utter trash.

 

[Agent]

The IB Machine Gun seems pretty good. I got one out of the rank 5 quest on my Titan with a fairly good roll.

Aggressive Ballistics / Accurized Ballistics / Linear Compensator
Perfect Balance / Braced Frame
Quickdraw / Extended Mag
Rangefinder / Persistence

It seems to handle very well. Haven't had a chance to use it too much yet though. Plus, it looks cool.

I also got the IB Rocket Launcher from one of the weekly bounties. It seems pretty decent for a legendary rocket launcher. Mine has Heavy Payload and Tracking/Clown Cartridge.

 

[phen0m24]

The Machine Gun is ridiculous, easily the best LMG in the game right now.

It really reminds me of Against All Odds, my favorite Y1 machine gun. (Which I will never ever shard.)

Alright, cool, I need a new LMG. I've been using this god roll Ruin Wake for so long I need something new. Thanks!

i like it even tho it makes my Titan Mark a violet color which I'm not a fan of.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Anyone want to raid on PS4 today?

 

[Farside]

Hunter and Titan looking for Warlock to run NF. Starting the Prime exotic quest.

 

[Ambitious]

Anyone want to raid on PS4 today?

If it's not too late in the evening (EU time), sure.

 

[Marco Tovarich]

If it's not too late in the evening (EU time), sure.

Yeah, I'm down for it too, though I've never tried the new raid and I'm only 358. Are you ok with that?

 

[wesleyshark]

Just had a hell of an IB match. Our team had somewhere in the 90s; other team had 132. We rallied and kept them from scoring any crests until we tied it up at 134 and then it was back and forth with us winning 150 to 148.

I've gotten almost every weapon (sniper and fusion haven't dropped yet). Along with all armor slots, ghosts and artifacts from post match rewards. Nothing is locked behind the rank ups or bounties.

 

[molnizzle]

...weapons are. You must have gotten those from bounties. IB match rewards will only be the auto rifle or the shotgun this week.

Those numbers don't add up given what all gear I have. But ok; I must have been wrong.

Have you done the bounties on all your characters?

Because you definitely can't get a lot of stuff from post game drops.

If it's any "consolation", I got mine with the 32nd or so Shiro bounty (aka this week).

You still playing. Need one more win for rank 5

 

[AEREC]

I seem to be stuck in the low 350s...what's the best way to increase LL at this point?

Been running the 320 siva strikes but purples and exotics seem few and far between.

 

[zombiemortar]

I have, but I've also got:

3 pluse rifles
3 hand cannons
1 scout
1 side arm
1 MG
1 Rocket Launcher
4 Auto Rifles
Too many shot guns
2 Helmets

So, either I forgot where I got everything, or some of it can come from post game.

 

[wesleyshark]

100% the only guns you get from post-game are the auto and the shotgun. You are forgetting where you got your loot, due to how much loot you've received

 

[OG Loc]

I only need the Iron Saga chest for my warlock and of course my Internet goes out. Thanks hurricane matthew.

Spoiler

I'm a technician for the cable company lol but there's nothing I can do to fix the issue

Anyone have a list of what each strikes chest can contain?

Well there are 6 weapon bounties and 6 rank ups, and you have 12 items that only drop from those, so yeah. The ARs and shotties you have are post game.
