I blew through 600k credits this morning before work transmuting trying to get Blind Justice. ...sigh, I'm Sprecherscrow and I'm a melee addict. Thought after I picked up Hate I would be done with actively seeking that smokey bastard. Anyone know the drop percentage for it? Can't be too bad with it being an uncommon.

I'm hoping they change some of the preexisting stances to alter your quick melee though, that would be rad.

Edit: Have they announced a new use for Cryotic on the way soon? Perhaps Archwing related?

I like that excavation has finally returned, I prefer it to survival. I ran the earth mission with pubbies for about fifteen minutes or so and the rewards seemed decent for the amount of effort input, 2-3 T3 keys plus a rare fusion core.

I still didn't get a neurode like I wanted, though.

Haven't had a chance to test this in game yet, but how do Mirage's copies handle the penta grenades? Do they drop a bunch of grenades that go off when triggered as well? So you can get like ~9.5 grenades per trigger press?

That is exactly how it works, yes.

Also the new Redirection has 600 shields at max rank, but with a max Redirection it could have anywhere from 875(if a maxed Redirection's bonous only applies to the base shield count) to 2250(if it applies to the maxed shield count).

I'm hoping it's 2250 cuz maxing 2 10-rank mods, one of which is a rare, is kind of a hassle.



For other people.

Yeah I briefly considered dropping one of my legendary cores on it, but I prefer dogs anyway, so I'll save them for the inevitable rare 10 Archwing equivalent of Redirection or Serration.

:eng101: And unless they changed it, it's only your own Penta shot that can harm you when it's triggered; the copies won't hurt you at all.

Excavation seems to use a similar loot system to survival, with the 3rd, 7th, 11th, etc rewards being keys from what I've seen. Considering that those rewards can take under 2 minutes each if power doesn't run out and that up to 3 can be worked on at once, it's very fast to get keys compared to other modes.

Oh, and the Phobos excavation map tiles seem to be a bit buggy, we've seen one generate with no scanner (and possibly no spots to excavate if there was a scanner), and one generate that only had a single excavation tile with 3 excavation spots that it just kept reusing, all right next to the scanner and with only a single cave spawning 99% of the enemies.

I made the mistake of pugging the one on earth.

I didn't ever remember level 11 Grineer hitting so drat hard. It just felt... I dunno. Actually sorta hard? I guess I bring a frame that isn't an Elk next time.

That one irritated me because I didn't know what the reward was so I finished the event on the first day. Surprise affinity booster when I'm gonna be gone all weekend sucks.

For the love of all that is good, sweet, and pure....I just want something that gives me more than one Orokin Cell at a time. I could trade literally any other resource at a 10-1 ratio for those and still be fine on everything else.

The lovely slash mods and Latron Wraith were for Gate Crash. The previous Tactical Alert was a credit booster, the one where you fought Hyenas.

The mountains have always been here, and in them, the bears.
Latron Wraith + Cold Mods = Cryotic Front

Skeev + Slash Mods = Gate Crash


And honestly, the Slash Mods were actually quite good as long as the total damage from the weapon was over 75% Slash (vs a 90% element mod) or 50% Slash (vs a 60% elemental mod)

No, it's not bad. You need to lower your Conclave to 700, but can otherwise do it all in one run.

I don't know if our run was super buggy and lovely or if their hotfix to Excavation missions actually made them worse, but it was.. An interesting ordeal. Just bring a Frost/Zephyr and some form of nukes and you'll be fine. (Zephyr is actually preferable because of the massive amounts of Desert Skate).

That, too, is an option. Radial Disarm works as well.

edit: Here's another picture I took during the event that turned out pretty well (I was just kind of mashing the screenshot button while watching the Excavator that fell on my head when I wasn't ready die rapidly:)



The points where the map stops being visible are about halfway to the other two Excavator spawn points. We had all of three spawn points on the map and spent multiple minutes travelling to and fro. I think they messed something very slightly up in their hotfix. Just a little.

(A shame, because it would have been interesting if anything could have spawned besides Arid Hellion and Desert Skates.)
