I think you and DY are using broken Hawkmoons. Maybe the Gunsmith can help you guys out.

Went to the gunsmith and his inventory is the same, nothing new. Am I missing something? How does this armsday thing work?

Serious just wait until Tuesday. All you will get is a bond you can't wear and you will miss out on XP.
I wish someone had told me this before I finished mine.
Suppose I'll return to my original favorite of Plasma-I-mean-Flux Grenades, even though they too got nerfed it seems
That's pretty cool. The more variety in the special weapon slot that becomes viable the better Crucible will be.

Wow, this is an amazing feat if true. There have been some pretty shitty maps in halo over the years. Sector 618 is worse than Chiron!?

Also do you have start them over if you abandon them??
After everything that's changed this is what hurts the most. Hands down my favorite pvp HC

I noticed that too, looks better IMO.
Weekly is fantastic. So many enemies. When Eris says the Hive are coming, the door to your right will start pouring a million Thralls all over the place. Shotgun, Bad Juju, Fatebringer, a Rocket Launcher, grenades, whatever man. Radiance is a brutal killer.
Did you really need anyone to tell you that?

I'm going to complete all mine but not hand them in, just to get them out of the way for next week

Wow cant believe Bungie actually made the shotguns as useless as before. What the fuck.
Wait, normal gun kills count? So they don't have to die from my grenades? Huh.
One thing that I am really upset about. It wasn't needed.

Looks amazing! Lot more sharp. More realistic than before.
I haven't done that Quest yet but if what you need is Orb generation, every kill you get during Radiance will make orbs. Radiance Gjallarhorn is sick. Bonus points if you have Light Beyond Nemesis for extra Orb generation or HotPF for more nades.
Could someone patient enough give me an explanation on the state of PvP at the moment, and where it's going (if possible to make such a call)?
@Zoba? @Anyone?
Last time I got remotely heavy into PvP auto-rifles got nerfed. Suros got nerfed something awful but apparently it didn't end there.
I stopped playing before TDB dropped.
Also, for the devs ITT, when the hell did Bungie give people access to the companion app API? That's fuckin huge.

Yeah I was really surprised about shotguns on the Rift maps I played last night. Any good shotgun (Found Verdict, Felwinter's, Matador, Party Crasher, etc.) is still a 1 hit kill at close range.
I had some success with Suros and Mida and none at all with The Last Word (although that was just because of the range nerf, up close it should still be effective). Hawkmoon seemed relatively unchanged to me; if the damage bonus procs it can still be a 2 hit kill and if it doesn't it is a 3 hit kill just like always.
I think the range and damage fall-off is going to be the biggest adjustment for everyone, especially for hand cannon and auto-rifle users. At ranges we used to be doing 100% damage before 2.0 we will now be doing 50 - 75% and be at a disadvantage to those with pulse rifles and scout rifles.
This should, in theory, lead to smarter players having more success as long as you are familiar with the maps and how they flow. It will be very important to match the gun to the range of the engagement, much moreso than it ever was before.
These are interesting times in Destiny PVP and I look forwarding to sussing it all out.
Yeah, he did - got a Red Hand that I trust more than the Hawkmoon now because it has hip fire and icarus lol
It does nothing special anymore. People may have a special love for it - cool, I loved mine too. Its not reliable enough in close quarters because ARs, other handcannons, shotguns and FRs run that now. Its not reliable at mid-range because the damage drop off is legit surprising and jarring compared to what it used to be. PRs will shred you and the rate of fire difference is like.... srs. Long range? Don't even attempt it.
I always believed that pre-patch, you could make a lot of weapons work if you found yourself separated from the Blink/Shotgun/TLWhornmoon stuff. I'm not really saying that being able to use weapons that aren't heavily favored by the community at the time made you an anomaly, special, etc.
But being honest and unbias - everything that made the Hawkmoon a top-tier weapon is gone now. Its buffed luck in the chamber handcannon with a bit more range and sexy design. You can't compare the Hawkmoon now to what it was before and honestly say "This is just as good as it used to be" or even "Its still pretty close"
Its not. Its not even close lol.

Shotguns were way too OP before. I think it's a 45% nerf, right? Good enough.

You can use the exotic shards to upgrade your Yr 1 exotics to Yr 2 I believe, along with legendary marks.
How did you find the abandoned exotic bounty quests?

Personally I decided to wait since no Exp is gained and who knows how much those quests give out.
mehrmantrout

I guess so, I'm just going to ignore it. I haven't actually looked much so far but i'm guessing thats the only "new" thing of any consequence to do?
Edit Exotic shards are used to take yr1 to yr2
Dude you need an app. Loadouts changed the game, for real. Having a "Crucible" or "Void Burn" loadout and just sending it to whatever character you want without nasty trips to the Tower = sogood.
As for state of PvP? Wait and see. We haven't gotten the new subclasses or Exotics or weapon perks and don't fully know the map flows yet so it's currently a clusterfuck of improvisation and "oh let me try this out now!"

so far I finished the gunslinger quest. not too bad. The defender quest was easy when I realized that the bubble thing only works in PVP. I just put on Armentarium and went to town. for the strike I would just drop bubbles on folks. alot easier once I realized my kills counted too. The striker quest was easy up until the last part and thats when I realized creating 7 orbs in one go was harder than I thought. I would have had it had the randoms not killed the boss when I was at 2/3. they kept killing my majors when I pecked them down to make sure my striker only created like 5 orbs. these are a major pain in the butt, and its not a skill problem.

Woke up for Gunsmith at reset, nothing, had the quest show up but nothing at the gunsmith.
Went to work at 9am, came here to check, still nothing...
Bungie Pls...

I wish people would stop saying this. Shotguns are still roughly 50% stronger than what they used to be before they got buffed in the first place - when they actually were useless
as in it was the least used special weapon class in the game before it got attention....
they're in a nice middle ground now where you can't pop a bubble underneath omnigul and comfortable give her a 4th horseman ride straight to hell lol
My quest text says "Kills during radiance", whatever that means. I thought it meant grenade kills, but people havoc/nova bomb the mobs before my grenade explodes. Maybe I'm just a single player scrub who doesn't deserve a new bond.
Oh well. Back to bounties.
Who cares about feeling strong against AI, though? They were fun and that's all that matters. 45% was way too much. They initially only wanted to do 10%.

That's disappointing. I farmed 2 Dry Rot shotguns a while back which have been a blast to use.
I'm liking this patch so far, feel like I have more than enough to do right now. Haven't even completed but one Quest so far with my Gunslinger. Best of all, got the Fruminous Cloak from Cayde-6 as a gift!
Only played one match of Rift; we got wrecked lol. I was getting destroyed by the Mida (and a Felwinters :/)
Agreed. What little we played on Earth Patrol felt fine last night. Only observations:
- fewer orbs? Not sure if this is true, it just felt like orb generation was little slow.
- more orbs to fill super?
- lots of heavy ammo dropped
- lots of green and blue engrams dropped (didn't see any purples)
That Rift match was brutal. We got mercy ruled. It seems like it'll be a fun mode to play. The only mode I enjoy so far is Control, so I'm psyched for the Zones and Rift looks like something else worth doing to mix it up.
They were back on my bounty list and marked as complete, just had to trade the Gunsmith and Ikora Ray for dupe exotics. I got SGA, Invective, Pocket Infinity, and Bad Juju again lol
The wording really makes me think gun kills count. Try it, for science!
If not let's team up in a half hour and get it done together. I need it too.
Equip your Gunslinger class and go to tower - it should pop.
It sucks they nerfed shotguns in PVE for no good reason and are being defended for it.
There's no good reason why they did it and I bet they will be unnerfing it again. It really does make me shake my head.
