Yeah I edited the post. I don't recall a weapon similar to the Mini-Tool or the Multi-Tool in any of the Marathon titles, but what a nod, it's slaps me on knee

Marathon didn't have a scout rifle equivalent, the long-distance precision weapon was the pistol. It did have an SMG, but only in Infinity.

1AU is weirdly named because 1AU from the sun is the orbit of Earth but the Almighty is inside the orbit of Mercury.

Armor comes with a selectable stat and you can also put a mod into it to boost any of the stats, but there's no transmog or any other way to fully mix and match stats and looks.

Yep, you can infuse it. Hit "details" on the piece of armor you want the look of, then one of the little squares next to the mod slot / dye slot is for infusing. Pick a piece of the same gear from the same class (i.e. you can only infuse warlock helmets with other warlock helmets) with higher stats, and then it gives you an option to break it down for infusion. You need crystal shards that you get from dismantling rare + gear.

It costs 4 shards to infuse a piece with a rare item, 1 with a legendary, and just some glimmer if you infuse with an exotic.

Keep in mind that different sets have different stats (mobility, resilience, recovery) that are set in stone - they give you the choice of one built-in mod that can slightly change those stats, and you can change that mod back and forth at will for free, but it's something to keep in mind. I don't know if anyone's done the math on exactly how much of a difference the stats make - apparently it wasn't a very big deal in D1 and I haven't noticed a difference after playing around with different mixes, but who knows.

First Cayde chest, first chest of the day, nothing in it. Go to Director, nothing at Postmaster. Go to Tower anyway, a blue armor is waiting.

The loot lockout is asinine. I get that since exotics are in the mix, it stops abuse of public events and such but it's not working as intended.

If it's the first chest of the day it sounds like a bug, not the loot lockout.

The Light is the power of Dance


If you're getting the lockout on the first chest you open, are you picking flowers (alkane, dusklight, etc)? I've noticed that once I activate the lockout (by virtue of using scout reports, thanks Bungie!), flower pickings don't work for a bit on top of the chests not working. So maybe the flowers/planet mats also factor into the lockout code, which is bullshit.

Yeah, they definitely do count. It's a bad system when they specifically put in maps to encourage you to run around grabbing stuff.

I didn't even know about the lore tab until two days ago. Are there any really good ones? Are most legendwries just trash back filler and the exotics where it's at or what?

Most legendaries don't have lore, only special ones like raid/trials rewards or the ones that pair with an exotic.

Exotic sparrows and ships also have lore, you can read them all through the bright engram preview screen.

i guess maybe all it had in it was like a blue chest piece or whatever the gently caress is sitting at my postmaster but i don't know why it would have been sent there

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the exotic drops are hosed. Not the occurrence of drops, which is fine, but the actual contents. So far across 2 characters I’ve had 3x Raiden Flux, 2x the Hunter gunslinger helm, 3x fighting lion, 2x skull of dire ahamkara, 2x starfire protocol, and one borealis.

The amount of dupes for the size of the drop pool is absolutely insane. I realise Reddit is a bit of an echo chamber for people’s gripes but a lot of people seem to be reporting the same sort of thing. It’s at a point where I get less enjoyment when I see an exotic drop because I know there’s a high chance that it’s utter garbage

If you open too many loot crates / harvest too many resources in a short period of time (someone posted the numbers earlier) you stop getting loot from them for a little while, because apparently some poopsockers were abusing a way to reset the same chest over and over for drops.

You'll probably never notice it if you aren't using Cayde's maps / one of the ghost shells that pinpoints loot and resources, but if you are using those, it's super annoying.
