Hey can someone post the confirmation on the XP being dumped into one armor or weapon when you turn in bounties if everything else equipped is maxed out? Remember seeing it here a while back but can't remember who confirmed it or how.

 

[BondFancy]

You poor poor soul, if only you had 10 rare fusion rifles lying in the vault for this. Prepare for frustration and disappointment trying to get past that phase. Just know that the weapon is a great one when you fall to despair and look for the light at the end of the tunnel. You could end up like me however, and have it take so long to get those rifles that you end up getting better or at least more useful weapons by the time you get PI :|

Thankfully I already had 7 stockpiled just for this bounty!

 

[Subtervotion]

Only need 3 more fusion rifles!

Just wait... Oh just wait.

Yes, this is definitely a thing. I can confirm it, after reading from the last thread.

Looking for people wanting to do the hard raid tonight! 10pm EST or later.

PS4
Cosmos_Man
Level 29 Titan

I'm up for this...I'll be on around 8ish

 

[Owlowiscious]

Can't you just trade it back and forth? Wouldn't you have to level 2 of the same gun this way?

Been doing that for the past two weeks. It gets annoying. Ice Breaker is good enough that I want 3 fully upgraded ones on each character

 

[Milennia]

Anyone up for a hard mode at gatekeepers?

29 plus
Have a mic

 

[nicoga3000]

All this talk about the Ice Breaker...

Decided to buy it.

Also, wanting to raid tonight on PSN. Probably in a few hours. Looking to run the whole thing if anyone is down?

 

[Squall ASF]

On one hand, awesome! On the other hand, if you have my luck with that bounty, all that does is save you money when it comes time to buy because you will only find those last three in the store... I wish you luck though, may blue engrams rain upon you and all turn to fusion rifles! The second after I got PI, I started getting fusion rifles from engrams...This cannot be a coincidence.

 

[Izayoi]

Yes, this is definitely a thing. I can confirm it, after reading from the last thread.

Wait, so it splits the XP between all of your equipped items?

 

[Homeboyd]

Yes, this is definitely a thing. I can confirm it, after reading from the last thread.

Yeah I mean I do the same thing... But explaining to others who want proof. Is there a link or something that shows the progress of a 5000xp bounty going into one weapon vs the same weapon with others that aren't maxed? Or is this just something you tested on your own as well?

 

[Snipes424]

Anyone up for nightfall and weekly heroic? 29 Hunter. Psn is snipes424

 

[xiceman191]

Anybody willing to help me with the weekly strike? I am a level 26 warlock. PSN is: Datdudeiceman191

So confirmed it's been stamped in triplicate playaaaa

Yes.

Oh lord may the RNGods be ever in my favor...

 

[death4romabove22]

Awesome. Yeah let's raid. Send a FR to Afrodeeziyak if you haven't.

Already sent I believe you already accepted also but when are you going to start I'm available now

 

[Nebula]

My vault has many fusion rifles.

 

[JackHerer]

Can you repeat Nightfall and still get rewards or do you have to wait for the weekly refresh?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Do you use Striker on titan? The helm of Inmost Light is for Striker subclass. Same question for Voidwalker Warlock.

That's how you should figure it out.

I use it all. My titan is maxed on both and I switch back and forth all the time. My warlock is an alt that has been leveling sunsinger but I got coins to burn.

I guess the chest would be dumb probably.

 

[Deku Tree]

If I break down an exotic will I get a good return?

Possibly three ascendant materials.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

8 hours. 8 hours of pvp before I finally got to +25 kills/assists for that exotic bounty. I am not good at pvp.

the weekly nightfall and weekly heroic strike rewards can be obtained once a week and reset each week at the weekly reset (Tuesday 5:00AM EST)

I decided to spend my Vanguard marks on boots and gloves today. Then I got my first legendary from a blue engram right after. They were boots. I raged a little. I'm okay now.

Started my Warlock today. I'm gonna try and hit level 26 before Tuesday. Wish me luck.

 

[DesertFox]

There are a few exotics we know the name of but can't seem to actually get evidence of existing in-game. that's one of 'em. probably coming in the DLC

21 minutes before I head home to get us to 100 pages you guys. I BELIEVE IN YOU

Ah - got it, thanks!

I did the second time yesterday having fun on Iron Banner but I can see it being hard to some guys... a good hint is stay close to your partner... you get assists and them help to kill your enemies.

 

[commish]

Anyone doing hard mode tonight? Psn tigerheli. Lemme know

 

[Milennia]

Still looking for more on gatekeepers hard mode.

I started my Warlock last week. I'm afraid I'm addicted and grossly incandescent.

ouch man, i think it took me less than an hour. I can see how that one can be a bitch.

I know you can trade planet resources for marks but can you go the other way around?

And me.

Don't forget me.

I want to as well but it would be like 9pm pst before I can get on then I'm good for the night.

[Xamdou]

Bought the Ice Breaker and realize it will take a long time to max it out. Never used snipers before so will take some time to get use to it.

Also the game hasn't dropped me any legendary or exotic primary weapons yet...

You're keeping spreadsheets?!

Details. Now.

 

[Palocca]

Question for you level 30s: would I need raid armor for helm, chest, and boots if I wanted to get to 30? I have the sunbreakers for my gauntlet right now and a raid chest piece that I'm planning to max out.

I'd love to get to 30, but I can't find a raid group consistently enough during my playtime. I might just settle for 29 and start a new character.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Holy shit

Just won a match in the last 10 seconds by like 50 points or something. Even had a "clutch" tag pop up at the end. Shit was tense!

Tied with the most kills in that match too. Love my pocket infinity. <3

 

[Hawkian]

I know you can trade planet resources for marks but can you go the other way around?

I wish. Or, better idea I've heard would be, greens earned on a given planet dismantle to that planet's resource instead of glimmer/parts.

then I'd start actually picking up greens again.

Details. Now.

I just threw the wall of shame into excel! Nothing fancy!

 

[jadedm17]

Happy occurrence of the day : Got booted from an Iron Banner match as it started, giving me - as a gaffer pointed out a few pages back - credit for a win and all that comes with it. The truly great part? I got credit for first place completing my first place in an iron banner match bounty.

Sometimes bugs are awesome.

The super awesome guide linked many times - including a few pages back - says Helmet is your best bet for exotic since the raid helmet is only hard mode.

Love when that happens!

Even losing by such a small margin makes me giddy.

Yep it's required 3x raid gear and 1x exotic works.

Yes. You'll actually want an exotic helm if hitting 30 ASAP is your priority, because the raid helm doesn't drop in the normal raid.

This guide is perfect for your questions.
