Where are all the purple kinetic autorifles?
I'm 270 and this is the only blue on my char.

Scathelocke is a random drop, Origin Story is a storyline reward, Ghost Primus is the raid drop. They're the three most commonly used purple kinetic ARs.

P. sure I mulched origin story early on thinking I should get a better purple at some point. Seems like post story guns are super heavily stacked to drop as the energy type for whatever reason.

I’m still hoping to get a Minuet-42. Not only does it look great but since it’s energy it has that extra 10% damage on shields in PvP. Not sure what kinetic would be best with it though, there’s a lot of good choices.

My preferd energy handcannon. Since there's so many great kinetic options, my minuet doesn't see a whole lot of use. It's... decent, but it does surprise me nicely from time to time.

That's going to be difficult, when the faction rally isn't around, the only way to get guiding star is via cayde's stash chests. It's a very very very very low drop rate.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Guiding Star is basically the best kinetic AR, well worth going Dead Orbit for next faction rally if you have bad taste and didn't pick them first go around.

Energy weapons do a bit more damage against guardians in super but that’s it.

I got a Manannan a few days ago and it’s a fantastic gun. I ran a lot of Tlaloc back in D1 and Manannan is the closest in terms of gunfeel by far.

There's Origin Story from Zavala either as a quest reward for clearing your 2 Strikes or randomly from his Engrams, Scathelock which is a random drop and Sweet Business which is an exotic. I think that's it for notable kinetic autos.

Don't forget the Halfdan-D, Guiding Star, Ghost Primus, and Forward Path. Pretty much every auto-rifle is awesome, they seem like a sweet spot in destiny 2- good damage, good rate of fire, good range, and a large mag.

If you read the weapon reviews, the constant is that only people on PSX and XBL ever complain about recoil on any gun.

Aug 7, 2002



it is kind of a curious thing that they reportedly turned off the recoil for kb+m since it "felt bad" because you'd think it'd "feel bad" regardless of what you're using to point and shoot at things. or even, you'd think since it's easier to adjust your aim using the kb+m that they'd choose that mode to shake your gun all over the place, and turn it off for thumbsticks since it's harder to make precision tweaks

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

A Buff Gay Dude, Iron Banner broke me. I did 3 sets of dailies everyday for a week and never got my hunter boots.

Now I see the cold and uncaring world for what it is, a joke where the only punchline is time and the only one laughing is Bungie.

Please pat my head and tell me the boots will come back

As far as I can tell, Iron Banner is still going on. I saw the flaming gong in town this morning. I didn't check the playlist though to see if it was still playable though.

I just logged in, it's gone. Its rough too, because I RP that my Hunter has a drinking problem and not getting the boots she wanted might push her back off the wagon :ohdear:

Ok, so is anyone up for helping to coordinate some of the goon community before Season 2 and XPac drop?

From where im sitting we could:

1) get a new thread going
2) Consolidate Overchill Destiny goons and HOTDOG (https://discord.gg/5aVkDfP) into a straight up Destiny discord (https://discord.gg/ej6HBMR), instead of everyone just always being split up up by 3-5 different discords
3)purge and consolidate clan stuff so everyone still has friends to play with

Its weird because if you take an autorifle and unload at a wall without moving the mouse, it'll travel straight up that wall in exactly the pattern they said they removed

Why are you a control freak? Let it go.

I know we're trying to be inclusive and what not, but if you're intimidated by channels (what?) that are easily sussed out, don't click the invite. It's easy to navigate and use.

you know now that i think about it by recoil they probably meant the randomness in spray from what you're aiming at, not necessarily where the gun travels. i can see pointing your gun precisely at someone's head with a mouse and then having your shots spray around it in a perfect outline being really frustrating but probably unnoticeable with a thumbstick and autoaim
