For days you have been asking, does Curse of Osiris have real substantive problems? Today I give you that answer.

They changed how Better Devils sounds, riot in the streets, crucify Bungo.

That said, Origin Story actually sounds like a real gun now, and it's a treat.

So are there 3 goons who have the Prometheus Lens that would be willing to, ah, help me with going Flawless in Trials?

I sadly do not have one. Sadly.

"Good thing my Better Devils has NO FALLOFF on the explosions!... Oh my Bad News still outdamages it on headshots from this extreme range."


Bad News has more impact then Better Devils. It's a 110 RPM handcannon compared to BD's 140. So yes, it will do more headshot damage.
If you compare BD to another 140 handcannon, the headshot damage is equal or different by ~1. The fact that is has massive range already is just a bonus.

But yeah, explosive round guns really show their strengths with body shots.

Honestly they should just make current Prometheus Lens power a custom match option when those came out. It's a weird twist on Crucible and kind of an insane hellhole but in a fun way.

Is there a list of updated gun sounds? Both Origin (and Forward Path) and Better Devils had terrible sounds to me, and the new versions are great.

Crimson ( the new Exotic HC) seems really good:

Feels nice, the 3 shot burst is tight, heals on kills and generates ammo to reload on precision kill so deals with HC's ammo issues

lmao holy poo poo... I thought I was just misunderstanding the mechanic of the jump somehow. I have successfully made it once out like 20 jumps and I basically had to time a midair jump perfectly to land inside the ring at the end, which caught me and made me float down gently.

I can't be too salty about this though, it's hilarious to see a bunch of dudes just physicsing themselves to death over and over again.

Jon: Hello Guardians. First item of business: We know about the Prometheus Lens. It’s not what we intended. The weapon shipped with a bug, which we intend to fix with Destiny Update 1.1.1, along with everything else in the December update. Until then, please go easy on the players who have yet to get their hands on one (we know you won’t, but it’s been said).

I wish this was a patch note so badly.

V1.1.1
- Guardians, please do not use the Prometheus Lens. If you do, just don’t bring it to PVP. Just do the right thing. Please, do the right thing.

- Run speed reduced to 1 on Mercury.

- Locked all players out of content.

Enjoy!

It's only with the public event on Mercury, the jump pads are supposed to send you through a ring that slows you down before you land. If you have >60FPS the gravity gets all hosed up and you'll miss the ring and smash into the ground at full speed. One time I actually died by hitting the ring itself. poo poo's whack, yo.

If I catch any of you all using the Lens in PvP, I will report you to Mr Bungie. We are the watchmen.

I don't get the praise for it. It's a slightly more stable Antiope with only half the range, and having SMG damage at AR range is what makes this archetype so good. You even lose kill-clip.

The fart can on it is its only redeeming feature.

The single most important thing about explosion damage is that they deal nearly twice the damage on BODY shots.

Buying into the "No falloff!" gimmick was just leaving me disappointed. Due to realizing how often my explosive guns were only dealing as much, or LESS damage on headshots. "Good thing my Better Devils has NO FALLOFF on the explosions!... Oh my Bad News still outdamages it on headshots from this extreme range." Same deal playing with my Nameless Midnight and comparing it to other scouts with a much lower light level.

But shoot something in the dick from a mile away, and you're gonna get good results compared to it's peers. Because it deals that much more raw damage on bodyshots in the first place, even if explosions had falloff it would win out on dick shooting.

Enemies that need three of four body shots point blank with other handcannons, will die in two body shots from the Better Devils. Many enemies that will survive a single body shot with a normal hand cannon, will die in one. Tired of aiming for handgun headshots against psions on some distant ledge? Better Devils will one-shot that with a body shot.

The reason why people don't like Bad News or any other 110rpm Hand Cannon is that their TTK is insanely good if you land 3 headshots but if you miss one of them or even just body shot once then 1 crit/3 body shots (at <6 Resil) from a Better Devils kills faster.

For PvE who cares use whatever you want.

But what a redeeming feature it is! It's not strictly better than the Antiope but goddamn does it look rad and is it fun to use.

I got my Lenz so I'll be pimping my mediocre PVP self out this weekend.

Also, I don't really get the reward structure of CoO. I got to the end of all the stuff, did the adventures, and did the heroic adventure. Then I talked to Ikora or Vance or whatever and had the "choice" of a single exotic, so I took it.

Only to discover that I guess Bungo expected you to do that for each character before choosing I guess because I did not get an exotic for each class.

So uh, thanks for the heads up, Bungie.
