I can't tell if I like Outbreak Prime because it is actually good...or does it feel good only because it is light 390? I'm starting to lean towards it not being that great. The nanite swarm seems underwhelming, or am I crazy?

If you're talking about Thorn quest, I went in with Felwinters Artifact. Takes away your super and gives you two grenades and two melees. Pretty easy to hit Tier 5 on both Discipline and Strength as well. Then I brought in a Void Fusion (Use whatever special you like most) and a Void Heavy. Throw sticky nades, punch, and special your way to victory. I really learned to appreciate Twilight Garrison as well during my run. Had a lot of fun.
I'll join in an hour if your still running

It's okay. Not worth giving up Raze-Lighter or Sleeper though. Especially if you already have the raid scout.

Thanks for this! Also, just found this on reddit involving the sword hilt. Thought it was pretty helpful! Here's the link: https://m.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGa...exotic/?utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=true
Definitely weird and boring. Have also wondered what the hell is up with it.
Vincent Alexander

Yeah. I do have the raid scout and was curious if I should infuse my exotic into it? I'm actually working on exotic quest for Dark Drinker at the moment to help out with Raid. Think Raze-Lighter is better?

It doesn't seem to happen consistently and what I have noticed if you are aiming a weapon at one of the enemy closets they will not come out, well, the thrall anyways. They know what's coming next.

That's what I did. Though I did have two of them already. It's probably worth still hanging onto your Prime if you only have the one. 390 light primaries aren't going to be a big deal anymore after next week.
edit: as for Raze vs. Dark, I have both infused up to raid level and prefer the Raze. They're both great though and take out captains in a single R2 + one or two slices if it's not a matching shield. I just don't use the R2 on dregs/adds (to conserve ammo) so the Dark's AoE doesn't really matter. For the raid void captains they're both about the same but outside the raid Raze has more utility with it's high single-target damage output, so I've switched to prioritizing that one for infusion for now.
Prime is a good PR. It has a nice set of base stats and it looks great! The exotic perk definitely needs a little buff though, either make them proc like firefly and balance accordingly (a little more powerful as its an exotic), or up the power of the random swarms as they are.
Right now it's fun to use in most situations, but if you need dps there's probably a better option.

I haven't done CE in forever but it would be a hell of a lot easier to do this Thorn quest if I had my Word back. I guess now that we have Gjallahorns again it should be pretty easy.
I'd be down for a CE and/or VoG!

Gally is now mine and I got the Thorn bounty on Shiro bounty number 13. Good day so far lol.
Time to start stocking up on blue engrams so I can get to the 360s and finally do the raid and at least do Trials. Need that new emblem.

Good for add control, really. I'd infuse it into a primary you like. Easy to get another ZS later and infuse it up. Do you like autos in PvP?
optimus8936

It doing arc damage won't mean anything in crucible, but if you have fun using that gun, then don't infuse it as it's a fantastic PVE weapon.
IMO one of the best PVE weapons because of how good it is against groups of adds.
Triple Oceans

Agreed as it's pretty useful (for me anyway) for clearing shanks during the first and second phase of Aksys.
Yeah, I normally run autos in Crucible as I am not the most accurate person and the bullet spray at least means I can do some consistent damage. I have a Chaos Dogma at 373 and a Khvostov at 378 that are just itching to get higher levels. And good point, as I totally forgot I could rebuy it later.
Arc means nothing in IB or Trials?
Better than the Chaos Dogma?

So if I beat Aksis and have a key I can open again the secondary chest and find the helmet? Not just 3 of coins or lumen?

Elements in general mean nothing in crucible. Everyone's shields are kinetic, iirc, in the crucible. The element won't affect how fast you kill anyone.

You can only open raid chests once with the same character. Whether they're regular chests or SIVA key chests doesn't matter. You won't find anything in the regular chests and youll get some text telling you that you can't use your keys in the SIVA chests.

It means nothing in PvE either unless the enemy has the matching shield type. Arc weapons bring down arc shield way faster than other elements. Kinetic and void weapons bring down arc shields at the same speed. Elements only matter for PvE shields and "burn" modifiers.
Yeah, I knew about PVE, but I thought it had PVP effects. Oh, well. I'll play around with it a bit more and see what I think-- It's a really fun gun.
You still need one more Noomi?

So what exactly am I looking for in a good pvp pulse rifle? What perks am I looking for? What's the "god roll" and which pulse rifles are the best?
I ask because I use a hopscotch pilgrim with red dot-oes, headseeker, hand laid stock and glass half full and I really like it. But I don't ever see anyone use the hopscotch anymore, so there are probably are better options out there.

Hopscotch is now medium impact archetype, the RoF is too slow compared to other options now. You want a low impact/high RoF like Grasp of Malok, The Waltz (FWC), The Clever Dragon (IB) or Blind Perdition (Trials). "God roll" (imo) would be Perfect Balance, Counter-balance, High Caliber Rounds. You just want tons of stability, with some stagger if you can get it.
If you're comfortable using it, then stick with it. Hopscotch is in the medium ROF archetype that just doesn't see too much use, because when looking at the faster ROF pulses like Hawksaw and Grasp / Clever Dragon, the general time to kill is slower than them. I personally value high stability pulse rifles and I have a higher range Hopscotch that I enjoy using in 6v6.
Even though all of the pulse rifles are generally 3 burst kills with enough precision damage (2 burst with the spare change slow ROF, but we don't really care about that), I like using the Nirwen's Mercy, Hopscotch, Red Death, as I find them much more forgiving if I don't always land my shots and they're great at providing team shotting enemies, putting them down pretty quickly.

Wait for someone that knows what they're talking about since I dont play pvp, but I think people use Grasp of Malok or Clever Dragon (from Iron Banner). And I'm pretty sure you want stability stability stability.

Ok thanks.
I have a max stability Hawksaw thats pretty awesome. I always like for stability in my PR rolls. Anything on top is a bonus.
I started off with a Pilgrim but couldn't get on with it compared with the Hawksaw/Clever Dragon.

The progression past 365 is an absolute mess in RoI. For those that don't have a lot of time to do get people together to do the raid, whats the best way to get up closer to 385? At the moment I've been relying completely on 3oC and the 2 or 3 skeleton keys I've gotten. Legendary engrams are all but worthless once all your gear is at 365.
I mean artifact but yea, it's hard to use compared to regular one. I was confused with it.
