They had better because I do not have it! Also I bought the RoI OST and it came with a free redemption for an emblem and I went through all the steps and was told it'd be waiting for me with the vendor but it doesn't seem to be. Has anyone had this problem?

if it redeemed correctly it'll show up eventually, you might have to wait a bit or log out and back in

they also do mean the emblem kiosk, not the old lady who sells shaders and emblems, I dunno if you were checking her out

Are there any ghosts or clusters in the Iron Banner area of the temple?

Yes, actually. There's one way the hell down the mountain, just beyond the point where you dive out of the cable car during the intro mission (if you haven't already gotten it while playing that).

randomly from turning in Shiro's weekly bounties.

maybe you could get it from other bounties? seems to be only weekly ones though, like Shaxx's and Efrideets, if Shiro isn't the only source

Pretty sure there are only the 3 scopes

The first two seem good. The second one is weird looking but I like it. The first one is a traditional red dot so that's popular.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
Word is that the middle scope produces a vertical recoil pattern.

9 chances accross 3 chars and no dragon. I got the non adept perdition in trials this week so I got my pulse for the one or two games I'll use it was this supremacy trash is over. Adept wouldve been nice but being super hungover made it harder to be on point.

Also lol at anyone who thinks shotgunning is hard. Running a voidwalker for the first time in a year in pvp i still opened a bunch of games with 10 kill streaks giving folks the sauce and I dont even have a good matador, pc+1, or conspiracy. I was piggybacking off lower ranked match making though.

Im willing to bet the trials map is the trash inside building one on mars this week which might be a little better for sniping. Hope so, gettin tired of running a shotgun.

Anyone tried out the ib sniper I got a perfect roll drop from a rank 5 package and havent tried it yet?

I've been having fun with the accel coils/rangefinder thesan. Easy to make all beams hit even on moving targets. I've one shorted a bunch of people running perpendicular to me. Nothing like seeing some nerd sliding toward you, thinking they are getting an easy shotgun kill then their corpse floats away in purple smoke

got a parthian shot with braced frame from a vanguard package, and wow this thing is a goddamn laser beam

has anyone used the vendor roll with perfect balance/headseeker because goddamn I think right now a bf/headseeker roll might be my white whale. get it into 5 headshots and a body shot territory, get the fast ttk, nice, tight

I think it'll need braced frame though to counteract the recoil pull, I don't think perfect balance will be enough

just need clarification on something: I know you can reroll raid armor but does rerolling change the stat bonuses? Like int/str to int/dis

yes, but it won't change the % roll, as far as I know

like if its 50/54 int/disc it'll change to 50/54 disc/str but it won't change to 55/53 or whatever, so you have to keep raiding to hunt the t12 capable gear

Trespasser is so drat fun in pvp. Getting that full burst on a second target results in some shockingly fast double kills.

You have to know the range really well though, or you'll get punked by shotguns, and I feel like it suffers even more than normal sidearms in the mag department.

That aside though, it is beastly if you are careful about where you use it, and pairs extremely well with a scout or pulse.

Can't post for 6 days!
Field report:

I got the Outbreak Prime weapon.

???untested???: Killing Aksis
Extremely Very Good: Killing these spiders you find in assaults
Good: Killing boss
Average: Killing trash

The thing that is hilarious is killing spiders with it. You see a lot of yellow and white numbers flow so quick from the spider legs that is hard to have a idea how much damage is getting.

Handling: suffer somewhat from the "old IBM keyboard" syndrome. It feel mechanical, the clack clack clack is a bit too noticeable, has if the device uses the technology a old mechanical typewriter.

Crucicble: ???untested???.

Seems to be a big burly weapon that is very effective on some scenarios, average / good in most others. It will not snipe for you, and it will not end captain has fast a shotgun or fusion rifle. And may not replace a good scout, if you are into that, and will not replace a imago pistol, if you are into t hat, but is 65% better at being a general weapon than Touch of Malice. ToM was a raid only weapon (bar some cheese) and this one you can use everywhere.

Final score:
7/10
