There's a big chart somewhere of what activities you should do at this point, but generally you'll want to take a break from PVP and run strikes, archon's forge, and any leftover campaign missions/quests.

Thats almost the roll i have. I've got braced frame instead of reinforced.

Its pretty nice. Has good handling speed so you can switch quickly, it can rez snipe which is nice. The only thing you might not like is the scope but it works pretty well if you liked the hunter sniper from the gunsmith.

I gently caress around with mine quite a bit. Its base stability is pretty good too so you can pull off some pretty nice double taps and pump rounds into a crowd.

I'd keep it for sure.

Also lol, still have not got one longbow from crucible packages and havent had a single matador drop for me.

Ahh yes. Another weekly update that has so many words, yet says nothing.

Good poo poo.

That weapon balance can't come soon enough. The current meta is poo poo.

In other news while playing IB last night the heavy ammo glitched out and i got to pick up a double supply for for my counter balance/small bore/surplus Unending Deluge, which gave me about 130 rounds.

Then i went on a Reign of Terror, and had heavy ammo for the rest of the match. Was killing cunts with heavy 5 minutes later. Good times.

Tomorrow you are going to spend them all on three of coins from xur. If you need some heavy ammo too, that's fine, but there are other ways of getting it. As others have said, run some strikes and do your ROI missions. Pop a three of coins for every strike, and hang on to any exotic engrams you get for now. The best way to make use of these is to decrypt when you have one specific slot holding you back. For example, if all of your highest equipped gear is above 350 but your special weapon is 342, it's time to decrypt the exotic special you've been holding onto. You'll keep getting blue engrams up to 365 doing normal strikes, and Archon's Forge will drop up to 385 guns/armor and up to 400 ghost/class item/artifact. Use crucible/vanguard rep boosters if and when you get them. Rep packages decrypt up to 390, and you also have the added bonus of being able to choose if you want a weapon etc., so even though it's still rng, you have a better chance at filling that slot you need. You can also hold onto these packages for a little bit if you need to, but be aware that you can only hold one at a time so make sure to cash them in before the next level ticks over. As you know Iron Banner is this week, this is also an excellent way to get higher level gear but you're limited to what will drop for that particular week. Don't burn yourself out on it, but definitely play it when one of those items happens to be one of your lowest level slots. It might also be a good idea to hold onto legendary engrams and use them the same way I described using exotics, at least until you're up near 385. You can also do this with blues, but it's only going to work for a little while longer as you're nearing 365. Hold onto treasure keys when you get them, and keep a list handy of what strike drops which item. Use these when the strike drop matches your lowest slot. Finally, and it probably goes without saying, always have your highest level gear equipped when decrypting. And try to do the same when finishing strikes, though I know it's easy to forget to do.

Awesome, thanks. I had planned on getting a bunch of ToC, and have been wearing my highest light when decrypting, did enough IB to fill out my weak slots and get plenty of marks. Didn't know about great and strikes though, that's great to know. I appreciate the advice.

Inventory stat matters a little in pickup, like long bow only getting 3 rounds but if it's high enough it determines how much ammo you spawn with (if you double stack ammo perks on boots and chest).

There are three year 3 snipers that let you spawn with 12 rounds:
- Glass Prom
- Yasmin
- Stillpiercer

It's nice baiting special spawns without actually having to pick it up or disengaging from an advantageous position because I need special. I really only need to be around for one special spawn.

Edit: I guess there's more than 3 but I wouldn't use any of the other ones in the above link

It's the rifled vs reinforced barrel that makes it.

Reinforced is very much less than ideal. You can get away with it on an Eyasluna which has insane base stability, but on a Palindrome the stability hit is too much.

Rng has determined I'll never get a winged word or glass prom.

That being said

My 1kys with snapshot shortgaze and hh and my laughing fart both spawn me in with 12.

Yasmin is popular because it has huge aa and the scope has little flinch.
