Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I played for hours last night and started getting the feeling I was wasting my time without knowing what I should be doing.

Snapshot is great but it all depends how good you are at giving haircuts with sniper rifles. If I dont have hidden hand and a range perk, wow I'm gonna be loving terrible with it.

I hadn't played anything in awhile and was having a surprising amount of luck with my WM the last couple weeks so I was cautiously excited about a new toy.

What's the easiest way to find myself, as a new level 40, in a normal raid? Are LFG sites still a thing? Is the Private server Destiny thread good for this? Really just want to finish the raids for story reasons

Pretty sure a Longbow without HH will have higher AA than a 1KYS with HH

Correct. Especially with short gaze.

Also yeah lfg is kind of tough to find a group that won't kick you for being a noob at raids, but if you put need Sherpa or something in there someone will possibly take pity on you and throw you a run.

I had an antipodal hindsight drop with

rodeo
perfect balance - injection mold - rifled barrel
counter-balance

I know the archetype is dog poo poo but I have never used an auto with rodeo and counterbalance. Anyone have experience using a gun with both? Definitely what to try it with both PB and RB.

The scopes are md-reflex, red dot ora2, and oeg riflescope

Gonna hang on to it until ROI to see what changes they make to the meta.

In order of personal preference

Shortgaze
Viewtac 20
Longview 10
Ambush (if you like a bit more slack in your aim correction)
Tacsys 15 if none of the above are available

25 is fine. And if you're anything over that it'll be a breeze

Yeah. There's only a few parts that are a little tricky solo, but that's mostly because you're the only thing for enemies to shoot. Can't think there's too much that's really hard. The jumping puzzle malarkey is more difficult than most of the actual story.

In pvp I use the oryx raid sniper. It has absurdly high aim assist.

I havent got a Longbow with any good perks yet. :(

the100.io is the best way to do it. Just browse the public games and look for either beginners welcome or sherpa requested raids.

I usually see at least one of those going morning, afternoon, and night Saturday and Sunday US EST. The community is pretty good and the beginner/sherpa raids usually fill up pretty quickly.

Only issue is that beginner groups are very much beginner groups. Like, be ready for people to fail the most basic poo poo repeatedly because they've never bothered to watch a video or read a strat and will take forever to brute force their way into learning the fight.

How!

If I use the physical vanilla Destiny disc to play and own all the expansions (pre-ordered Rise of Iron already) what's the minimum amount of money I would need to currently pay to go all digital? Apparently vanilla destiny isn't for sale on PSN anymore.

I'm paraphrasing unfairly here, but lead raid designer refers to the raids as 'middle school', 'high school', and 'college'.
Make me laugh and come up with different cute names for them.

It pretty much has the fastest TTK in the game if you land headshots. Even if you don't it's a murder machine as long as you're in its effective range.
