Yes, I’ve been running this with Vigilance Wang and having great success. Also whoever was saying VW is a 2 burst kill was correct, 20 damage per bullet if you’re within range.

Is it a 2 burst kill? While I was playing last night it felt like it but I was watching some of my stream and seemed like it was a 3 - 4 burst. It took me a bit to find an example where I wasn't team shooting. Maybe here I'm missing some shots but it seems like a 3 burst kill.

a subsidiary of Bone Krew Unlimited has asked the board for the following evidence to be presented:

"literally everyone dies to two bursts then?"

I do not personally take claim in these views and they are that of an unnamed party who is unfortunately not able to present this case themselves.

Yeah, if you hit all crits its a 2 burst. More reliably it's a 3 burst, to gently caress around 3/4 of my stack put it on for team shots and it was pretty gross how quickly enemies were getting melted.

Sturm & Drang rework:

quote:

For those who don’t know the core loop of Sturm and Drang, kills with one weapon reload the other while it’s stowed. Consecutive kills with Drang will overload rounds into Sturm, capping out at a 20 round mag for a Hand Cannon. Currently, the gameplay is focused on fast swapping, and while fun, this lacks that exotic flare we’re hoping to add. Sturm is also a bit unwieldy to use, so we’re addressing that, too.
As standalone weapons, both Sturm and Drang have had their base stats improved for ease of gameplay. Drang now has Rampage and a maxed out magazine to help rack up sidearm kills quickly. The true payoff comes in the overloaded Sturm magazine: overflow rounds in Sturm now have a damage boost of 1.8x. This allows for a significant damage increase in PVE and crispy precision 2-taps in PVP (just don’t miss).

That’s pretty exciting news, Sturm is a great handcannon in pve that feels a lot like the D1 cannons, Im looking forward to using it a bit more. It also looks like a Flash Gordon gun and that part is awesome too (I love the ornament for it).

i don't know that that's the case, but because it's also a function of score it's probably way way harder to get them without prestige.

The thing that tickled me most about this week's TWAB is the fact that they casually mention that the repetition reduction mechanism for Strikes and Crucible HAD TO BE DISABLED because it was causing BAT errors. It's almost parody that they can't seem to change much in this game without it breaking it.

I mined the API for the new Nightfall stuff, if you want to spoil yourself. Full disclosure, I'm guessing which item goes with which strike based on the flavor text, but I think they're all pretty straightforward.
