Someone suggested putting some kinetic recoil mods and trying out the Antiope-D. I think I found my new favourite gun 👌

Yeah, the FWC shaders are terrible on armor. They are pretty great on weapons and vehicles though.

I mean it's not gonna win any awards or anything because it's pretty far down the "does it make me super shiny" scale but it doesn't look terrible.

I'd say it's terrible that it uses 2 out of 4 of the shader colors and doesn't make you look like a technicolor dreamboat. However I don't think it's necessarily an FWC problem, it seems like a lot of armor takes shaders weird and doesn't use what should be the most prominent colors.

There's sort of a pattern, like the top quadrant of the shader icon tends to be the primary color for metal pieces on the armor (ie, most of what titans wear).

But there's some shaders that don't follow the scheme for no reason at all so unless you memorize them all you still have to try every single one of them out.

Pattern or no pattern it's dumb as hell to have a shader with 4 colors when only 2 of them show on armor pieces.

DO esence can be best represented by the original jumping the hellmouth video

Crossing the void of space is a challenge, no doubt. But a DO player did first.

The only way to guarantee the survival of the human race is to have human in has many satellite/planets has possible, so a single event can't kill them all.

Has we are now, a asteroid can hit the moon and create a world wave that would wipe humans from earth. Stuff that is normal in a cosmic scale, any day now something can hit earth, or some even can wipe almost all life in the planet.

The DO ships are the only guarantee of survival that have the human race.

The real DO outlook is if they had their way, there wouldn't even be a DESTINY to play because they want everyone to run away from all of it. DO is for people who hate the game. Them winning is proof.

Naw, not everything! Calus found something in the great beyond of the universe that he thought:
- Was worth becoming its herald, rather than subjugating
- Could kick the traveller's rear end easy peasy
- Meant he, too, could become a god-like entity
- Is not the darkness

(Despite that he's still convinced that the darkness' victory is an absolute invevitability and he's actually recruiting swell people to stand with him and watch the universe end. Might as well enjoy the spectacle.)

Well...

I've known you through many lives now: gladiator, Primus, usurper. With each new incarnation, I think we learn a little more about each other. How many more lives before our relationship becomes complete? But this life is my last, because there is no further that I can go. When next we meet, you will face one who has transcended even the gods. What will you be?

The light of this universe will soon dim. You cannot see it yet, but I assure you, there will be no denying it when it comes. There will be no safety, and no defense. The only question you should ask yourself is, "Where do I want to be at the end?" From my vantage, I have cause to ask myself this question with some urgency. I will move soon, and I mean to choose the place from which I will watch all become darkness. I find it poetic and satisfying that you will be near.

When you imagine the last moments of all life in this universe, what do you see? Is it struggle, war, and death? Are you fighting to the last breath? Are you suffering? I am not. In those last moments, I am surrounded by joy, pleasure, and good company. I am the last thing that they see. They give to me the greatest gift—the last of the living acknowledge that I, above all other beings, was real.

MIDA is an easy-to-get freebie exotic kinetic that has defined the crucible meta thus far with its insane aim assist. I think the PvE 3 of choice right now is Nameless Midnight, Uriels Gift, and Merciless in the power slot. Those together give you the utility to smack anything upside the head.

Grenade launchers are mostly terrible. Flash and Thunder gives you flashbangs which can be fun to huck onto a crucible control point and mop up the guys squatting behind a titan barrier. The only real use I've found for Prospector is bomb spam to solo kill the 4 Watcher turrets guarding the conduit chest on the leviathan.

It's entirely possible that it is the darkness because convincing Calus it isn't the darkness seems like the kind of thing something called "the darkness" would do

I don't think about my hands too much. Just trying to hit the ball in the air. Hit the ball in the air!
Prospector is great for single target damage (good for soloing heroic public events, except for the taken blight because they bounce off of it and don't explode). The Play of the Game is fantastic in the crucible, it's like having a shotgun but with more versatility.

Decent PvE non-exotic energy weapons: Annual Skate, any of the precision autos.

Exotic kinetics worth using in the game: MIDA, Sweet Business.

Best Grenade Launcher: uh...they're all pretty awful. Pick one that explodes on impact and doesn't bounce?

Manananananan is a very good energy scout rifle for PvE.
