I'm relatively certain that the game will occasionally eat tokens if you turn in single ones too quick, so that's probably a safe bet.

It's very lovely to hit with, I will sing the praises of it's accuracy. But realizing my assault rifle is dealing slightly less damage with a fresh magazine than a blue energy SMG with a lower power was fairly :wtc: Kind of takes the fun out of bouncy ammo body shots, knowing I have to work my way up to assault rifle damage.

At least most of my energy assault rifles steal deal more damage per bullet than even a Kinetic SMG, let alone an energy one. I can't dislike it because it has incredibly fabulous gunplay, but I've found myself switching to random blue drops of weaker power to kill things faster when it's a waves of enemies mission or event.

"How the hell did I run out of ammo on an assault rifle? That only happens when I'm using an SMG-oh right this thing deals below SMG grade damage shooting EDZ dregs in the dick until I'm at 21 out of 49 bullets in the mag."

I feel much better about the MM thinking of it as the worlds largest long range SMG though. Now if only I could cram it into my peacekeeper holster. Then I would use it forever.

There was a belief at the start that bigger stacks were worth more token for token. I'm not sure whether that was ever true, but it's not now, yet the myth is kinda hanging around.

it's not the only gun i've had sight alignment issues with and i have to wonder if it's because aim compensation just disguises it/renders it a nonissue on consoles/controllers so they didn't do their due diligence on lining them up perfectly on some of them

I have also noticed it.I have noticed there is an option in the menu to change the sight settings to "console mode" where it sets the sights down a little from dead center, just like the Halo's used to do- which I don't mind on a TV but it actually gives me a little motion sick on a monitor.

What I have noticed is that the sights line up quite well in this option, where the tip of the chevron for midas is the bullseye; but since I have been playing majority with the crosshair in center of the screen, I actually tend to compensate for it and miss more :negative:.

I have also noticed just a -little- bit of auto-aim comes into play when firing, since sometimes bullets will home into specific points of an enemy in PVE, most of the time hitting something I am not even aiming at (shooting way off to the side and still somehow managing to get a headshot) but in PVP I notice it doesn't seem to happen nearly as bad.

The only thing I can guess as to why it works so wonky is because of either the P2P step-rate and the code compensating for it, or just wacky console aim assist leftovers. Either way it isn't the -worst-, just a little odd.

Yeah here’s the proof.

Here’s the direct quote:

quote:

Note that I said Lost Sector singular. There’s only one. In fact, the area of Mercury that’s available to freely explore—ie the space in which you pick up patrols, plus Bro Vance’s bachelor pad—is smaller than Titan. Which would be pretty bad news, but for the fact that lurking beyond that big triangular vex doorway is the Infinite Forest—a different kind of zone to anything we’ve seen in Destiny 2 before.

Please support my friend Mr. Bungie so they can make enough money to make big spaces like Asteroid Cupid or Haley’s Comet in the future.

Swords are hard countered by decent aim and situational awareness which is why they get 8 kills per ammo drop

I always seem to activate my super just as I see a group of enemies, and then either they all get killed by teammates or they just vanish, until the timer runs out trying to find them.

Basically it's tile set generated levels with designed end caps. You start an adventure, that adventure then determines certain aspects of the tile set (they mentioned the one they did on stream was platforming focused) and at the end of that assembled run and gun section you do a small mini-PE that can involve any of the enemies in a designed final area. Repeatable, semi-randomized adventure templates with boss fights at the end.
