Finally got a Vigil that isn't turds.

Perfect Balance / Reinforced Barrel, Lightweight / Acc Coils, Hot Swap / Eye of the Storm

I feel like someone here said Accelerated Coils on it dumbs it down?

AC is only good when it doesnt change the bolts to kill, which is does on vigil.

The pro camping spot is near the right cave anyway. Can shoot everything, can take two steps back to recover health if you get ganged up on.

reinforced barrel is good, lightweight and hot swap are preference things. The main theme seems to be on 4 bolt fusions you want to max the range. But perfect balance is good too if you have issues controlling the recoil.

I think rifled barrel, snapshot, rangefinder might be the "god" roll.

I was guessing about PB, not having used a high impact like it in a while. Appreciate the heads-up :)

The "meta" for FRs shifted from high stability 5 bolt kill archetypes to high range 4 bolt kill archetypes. Keep in mind that this meta shift happened without any real changes to the weapon type. The real answer is how you want to use an FR. High stability 5 bolt (Thesan) are much easier to use. Pull trigger, wait, voop. Tight grouping, simple. High range 4 bolt can kill at hilarious ranges but there's a serious learning curve to the slow charge rate AND you need to learn how to control recoil mid voop.

It's just the Reddit hive mind at work, use what you're comfortable with.

e: be careful with Acc Coils. Like mentioned above you don't want to change your FRs bolts to kill to a higher number. Spergs on Reddit have tables on with FRs are affected by this.

rocketyard/divide areas seem to have them more often than the other areas but maybe thats just my luck so far.

Lord's, Archon's, Divide.

I... don't think that Giant's can, though but I'm not 100% on that. I'm also not 100% sure on Rocketyard, I forgot

Quarantine missions can spawn at Giant's, Archon's and Rocketyard for the record, but not Divide or Lord's.

The usual loop I did was Lord's, Giant's, Archon, orbit.
BUT sometimes Archon VIP will send you to bunker trigonometry, in which case continue back to Lord's then to Rocketyard and Divide. Or go to orbit.
OR VIPs from Lord's will usually send you to bunker trigpalin. Then continue on to Archon's. Then either orbit or continue on to Giant's, back through Lord's into Rocketyard, depending what patrols you still need.


I'm kind of thinking that if there's no VIP at Lord's then you should head through the warehouse to Rocketyard/Divide instead of going to Giant's/Archon's. I agree with Awesome that those areas seem to have higher amounts of VIP/Quarantine but I dunno might just be rng and confirmation bias. So if I ever feel like doing that quest again I'll try this method out.

It'll be 385s next time.

Regular non-heroic strikes will take you to 365. Regular purples and heroic strikes will take you to 385, as well as normal mode raid. Hard mode raid, exotics, Trials, and presumably IB will also take you to 400. Regular Crucible apparently also drops up to mad. Faction packages drop up to 390.

Edit: also strike unique drops from the end chests might go up to 400? Maybe only from heroic strikes? Good luck getting keys tho lmao.

I pretty much only play Destiny as a thing to do while I get drunk, so I'm always looking for the easiest ways to get light.

At some point it's going to get competitive beyond that and I'll just stop playing until "Destiny 2" where I hopefully have enough brownie points with Bungie to not be hosed in PvP upon release.

So I guess I'll keep grinding one point at a time through this weekly plaguelands patrol thing. Does anyone even know what "noble deeds" are to finish that weekly quest? Is it just completing patrols?

I think it's pretty much everything, like the planet specific bounties that say like "open chests, shoot dudes." If you do the Shiro bounties at the same time you'll finish it.

Might be best to wait a month or so with HM WoTM dropping this week. The majority of raiders are running HM or doing normal gearing up for HM right now.

What exotics are titans running in the raid? I figure the closest thing to useful would be twilight garrison for more heavy/mobility, possibly glasshouse for extended weapons?

Also, it just occurred to me that the raid helmet is probably really useful for the siege engine. Get a blessing bubble train rolling and just brute force your way forward. Raid chest is helpful for Vosik, though making the effort to clear adds before throwing was the real difference-maker for the group I was in.

An Insurmountable Skullfort if you're going to use melting point on Aksis. Ruin wings if you don't have raid arms I guess?

I am running twilight garrison. No reason whatsoever. If I where to choose one really for a reason, It would be the armamentarium or maybe that one that make enemies explode if they touch you, or no exotics and full raid gear (thats a okay decision).

For people running defender titan, glasshouse makes a lot of sense.

Secret: Don't tell anyone, but this raid is made for Titans. No matter what you choose, you are awesome. Theres no wrong options.


Edit:
Theres always Saint 14 for when you can get a group of enemies blind. So.. vosik and zamboni?

Dunemarchers for movement speed. I was using fist of havoc for everything after Vosik as a way to thin out captains and the additional sprint speed helped me close the distance. I could see armamentarium being nice for double sticky grenades to keep the captains in place as well but I think the damage reduction on the raid chest piece is really useful.
