I have [an Unbent Tree] with PB and CBand it's kinda hilarious. I thought that archetype wasn't supposed to be good any more?

Anything half-decent is fine in 6s. That archetype iscool in those modes. Not as good as they once were but not garbage, assuming you have a good roll. Competitive modes are a different story. The high end of the metagame is dominated by Eyasluna-archetype hand cannons, TLW, Grasp-archetype pulses, Hawksaw-archetype pulses, and the occasional MIDA. The Doctrine/Tree archetype would be pro if it were still a deterrent to shotgun warriors.

i liked trials this week (with the exception below). lots of goofy kills on people running by you, guys crouching with their shotguns pointed the exact wrong way, etc.

what i don't like is the fact that whenever i hit 4 wins it seems that all i run into are ultimate warrior boys dripping with sweat who just shut me down over and over again. this happens every week and it is very frustrating.

i should probably just get good, huh.

Dear Bungie, please delete Valus Tau'arc and Dust Palace. No one ever liked those stupid bad strikes, and we still don't like the remixed versions. So stop giving a 50% chance of one of them showing up every loving time.

Find the folder those strikes are in, click on it, and press delete. Thanks.

Purge them from backups too, just in case.

To be honest it was 4AM when I started making the gif and even I don't know what it's supposed to be about by the time I finished it an hour and a few GIS searches later :effort:


PS. Also just go ahead and delete whatever folders contain shriekers, dropship guns, trickle, and the "damage referee".

Have they ever explained why they don't just have all the strikes in the playlist?

At this point the only one that hasn't been remixed back in is that Venus strike with the hydra boss, right?

Excellent roll in its archetype, but the archetype is pretty weak right now. So stash one in the vault for future patches.

It's a good perk setup and that archetype can get work done in 6's but its native recoil pattern is garbage. If you like the archetype just spam DO for Extremophiles.

It's loving infuriating that everyone has an amazing Crucible drop shotgun and all I have to show for my playtime is about twenty rocket launchers and snipers that are utter garbage. I've gotten one lovely Matador drop since ROI and I got maybe three lovely Party Crashers throughout TTK. It's dumb.

Tried to run a couple last night, but four in a row both people dropped immediately and we're never replaced tho one of them the same two randos came back into the strike twice and kept leaving, despite me progressing on my own. :shrug:

This can happen when somebody get a skeleton key and they need a 400 ll hat, so they need to do a particular heroic strike that can drop hats. So he queue for heroic strikes and go to orbit each time he is put in a heroic strike that is not the one where the skeleton chest have only hats in it.

I like Vaul McRockets dude and Dust Palace strike. Dust Palace I usually go to orbit because Bungie never fixed the 3 boss not giving exotics. When I am doing strikes, 30% of the reason is to get a exotic when I kill the boss. The bullshit reasons the Dust Palace boss can't give exotics is bullshit, specially considering the two brothers can give exotics (each one).

Then shouldn't they just choose that strike from the director instead of using the playlist?

I had basically that but sharded it when I got RoI to clear vault space. Now I don't have a good crucible shotgun.

I don't know why I ever clear vault space it's not like it's all on one page like it used to be it's never full!

Accelerated Coils increases the # of bolts needed to kill on that gun. What's the other middle perk option?

Quickdraw.

Also have another one with Smallbore/Reinforced Barrel Quickdraw/Acc Coils Replenish/Eye of the Storm

I also have a Worlds to Come 001 with Acc Coils/Quickdraw Smallbore/Unflinching and Rangefinder

I haven't really used FRs outside of Stimulant so I can't really pick the *optimum* fusion rifle.

Rifled/Quickdraw/Rangefinder is solid, I'd go with that. Eye of the Storm is actually really good on fusions too so you could try running Quickdraw on that other one and seeing which you like better.

Good to know, thanks krogan. With *shotgun meta!* FRs seem better than sniper rifles right now.
