Took out middle Captain on Aksis P2 using Dark Drinker for the first time. Every other time I've either not been the captain killer, or I haven't been using DD. Even on Normal, at 399 light, I was getting my rear end kicked by Aksis blasts and the Captain. I can't imagine that HM is any easier. Is there a trick I'm missing in middle? As soon as I go in, Aksis starts lighting me up :smith:
Why would you both not be the "captain killer"?

I've always seen/done one guy going in to kill the captain, the other one staying back to clean up any leftover Shanks.

If one person's got good light + a super or heavy or something yeah, but really there's no reason both can't take out shanks then captain, or you could have left/right cannon take out the captain easy.

In most cases I'd agree, but a non Death From Above Fist of Havoc like that was perfect for coming up over the lip of the building. Void Bomb would have taken a second longer and had a hard angle.

Finally completed the Outbreak Prime quest. Got stuck on the 'kill bosses in the raid for some siva waffles' part.

My 1st time through the raid was thanks to a reddit sherpa, we got all the monitors and unlocked the quest. The whole experience was so smooth and the fights were not hard at all I figured i'd just have to go on destinylfg and bang out a few boss kills.

First group: We had three normal seeming people, we got somebody via destiny lfg and they were a little kid, that kid invited another kid who invited another kid. I have not had the pleasure of any kind of raiding with a kid on voice chat but I was ready to crawl through the internet and revoke that kids video game privileges and make him mow the lawn or something because holy poo poo those kids are the worst, most foul mouthed idiots on the face of the planet. or so I thought.

Second Group : Me, some guy with a jersey accent and rage issues, weed_420_kingXX (a gangster? who had to roll a blunt after every room), his friend who was p. much an exact clone (who was yelling at his girlfriend about how her car was parked), some guy who sounded like he was playing in a car speeding down a freeway with the windows rolled down and the last guy, who's eastern european accent was so thick to the point of bad parody. It took so many wipes on the second boss (the one with monitors and safe rooms) before we finally killed him for my last siva part.



e: the gun is eh, okay, I guess.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
Got really lucky and managed to eek out a flawless run last night. Probably the most stressful Trials week in recent memory for me. We didn't need to use our mercy boon, but most matches were 5-3 or 5-4 and we were usually down rounds early and managed lucky comebacks.

Anomaly with no radar is pretty terrible honestly, there's 4 different directions you can get snuck up on no matter where you are on the map. Callouts were also annoying because there's like 20 different "areas". Last week was much more manageable.

I have been there. I feel you.

This is Limbo, the only place worse than it is Hell itself. Not everyone trapped there is only doing a visit. There are people that work in weird hours or weird schedules and can't be part of a static group of friends, and must live in Limbo, with this type of poo poo.

About the people that deserve to live there, I don't know what I could say. Maybe they enjoy it and consider it the normal thing.

That's because he's using a machine gun.

I'm pretty sure you get the point if they suicide right after taking damage from you. He probably just aimed a little too low and hit the top of the stairs.

Honestly looks like you shot the rocket.

But like most bullshit things in this game I'm sure that "lag" is probably the correct answer.

I don't understand why they can't tweak every archetype until they're somewhat competitive. You just adjust the damage by 0.4% until the TTK lines up with other guns and presto, you're done. Right?

shotgun bros, can i get your opinions? i've got a wicked PC+1 roll and a couple of decent Matador rolls. i'm not sure if either Matador is better than my PC. i'm not a big shotgun user, so i'm not good enough with them to know which one i should actually be using.

- party crasher: agg balls, rangefinder, reinforced, final round
- matador: agg balls, cascade, rifled, final round
- matador: accurized, full auto, rifled, rangefinder

i suspect the first matador is better than the PC, despite lacking rangefinder.

It is. You don't need range finder and a lot if top tier players are now dropping it for other perks.

This popped up on reddit today, try playing with it and get a feel for what the perks can do.

https://destiny-weapon-calculator.herokuapp.com/

The key for shotguns is you want the impact and range as high as possible. aggballs/rifled gets you to the shotgun max on the matadors.

i watched this dude stream for about 3 minutes last week. he was doing hm raid viewer "carries." he died to a turret on p1 after trying to kill it with a shotty and loudly screamed "kill the loving turret!" into the ears of his team. this was after berating his partner on the left side for dying. he then switched to the middle where the carry person was for some reason and proceeded to complain about him not killing the adds fast enough when he tried to go ham on the captain.
