So how quickly can an experienced group get through the raid with all the layered mechanics? My IRL friend group spent about 6 hours in total this weekend failing to get through the gauntlet so our new-to-destiny friend can get some magic pants and it just wouldn't happen. The biggest issue was just getting through lap 4. Everything up to that point was mechanical, precise and easy. Then we'd start the final run and people would start exploding before we hit the second gate and everything fell apart.

God help us with the pleasure gardens.


I haven't done the Raid yet but having watched Giant Bomb beat their heads against it for more than 24 hours it was pretty fascinating to watch this group finish the entire raid in around 24 minutes. The way they burn the boss with their entire rocket inventory is mesmerizing.

That's not cocoon, it's the Titan short barricade which grants instant reload to all guns when crouching.

No it functions as designed, gets people running around playing the game a lot. Those planet destinations they spent three years moving bushes around on gets way more use, and all it costs them is a reused gun model with a unique perk set.

It's not free*, but yes, all you can eat scout rifles from DO for a week.









*ok if you pledged to DO they're mostly free but coming up with 250K glimmer isn't that hard anyway

This weeks nightfall is pretty rough. Especially when the two dudes you're matched with don't know what anomalies are and run straight through the final area and engaging the boss while you're combing through it. :argh:

If you're going boom in the final lap of the gauntlet then tell your two runners to skip the first orbs so the non-runners have an easy time.

Well, we did actually. Maybe we're just bad. We'd get randomly killed by war psion something or others even though the psions were killed, or someone would fall in a hole and die immediately, or our guys who supposedly picked up orbs from gate one would explode right after the other runner and I would pick up orbs from gate 2.

99,999+ means you have 100,000 glimmer and can't earn any more. I assume those clan perks mean that the amount of glimmer you get given for doing the thing goes up (the number you stare at waiting for it to go away so you can see the challenges).
