Yeah, I'm gonna do it. *checks the remaining steps, gets a little dizzy, then promptly opens browser tabs to different luxuries I want to buy* Anytime I get aggro on the way I'm gonna treat myself, calm my tits, and push forward.

Really hope IB bounties will count toward the bounties step! And that Rumble is available when I need it to be!

Oh man, just to make sure you don't screw yourself over here, start collecting, completing, and holding (don't turn in!!!!) the daily crucible bounties. You need 20, so if you get to that step 4 days before the season ends, you won't be able to complete it.

I turned in 17 at once when I got to that step and was able to get the final 3 the next day.

Thought they said in the twab that quest progress isnt resetting, you won't have to pick up a new quest. ut since the season is resetting if you're on a step that requires reaching x rank in the season then progress towards that step will reset

If he resets valor 5 times this season and doesn't complete the 20 bounty step, he'll have to do 5 resets next season.

If the bounty locks in the 5 reset objective and ticks over to displaying the next objective, he should be fine. You only lose progress if you're at say 4.5 resets and the box remains unchecked when the season ends.

I poked my head into it solo last night, thought maybe it might be possible if you cheesed it/took it slow, since the standard strike isn't so bad. Nope, just too much powerful stuff spawning at once, I don't think it's worth trying again without a group.

The 5 resets step is the last part of the quest, so locking it in means you've finished anyway.

Step 7: • Complete 20 Crucible Bounties

Step 8: • Reset your Valor rank 5 times within a single season

If you don't complete step 7, you won't able to work on step 8. See what I mean? If he's on Step 7 on November 27th, he'll need to do 5 valor resets when he makes it to Step 8.

The 20 bounty step is before the 5 reset step. So even if he hits 5 resets, if he hasn't completed the 20 bounty step before the season ends, he'll have to do 5 resets again.

Anyone still trying to get Broadsword this season should strongly consider holding on to their Crucible bounties now and saving up for that step.

I was just digging through the TWAB and I saw something that gave me pause, though.

While questlines for Luna’s Howl and Not Forgotten are available year-round, Crucible ranks will reset at the end of Season 4. Each quest contains a quest step to reach a rank milestone, and progress may be lost for these specific steps if you do not reach the requirements prior to the season ending. Progress for alternate quest steps will not be reset. If you’re in the middle of getting precision kills or completing Rumble matches, you will not lose any progress in those steps.


I've seen some drat wise men look downright foolish trying to interpret bungie explanations, but this sure sounds to me like their intent is to let you do 5 resets in one season and claim the reward in a future one. Find out and let us know!

I ran it solo up until the final boss and then had to get a buddy

the elevator bit was a bitch solo, and the ogres were tedious (just stayed back and plinked with a bow/sniper) but the rest wasn't too bad.

I think if you were able to melt the boss you could do it solo but otherwise it gets to be too much. Two people we were able to melting point + blade barrage + ikelos him to death quite quickly and didn't have to deal with the ads.

You can two man it pretty easily just by making sure adds are killed priority first and by splitting the boss aggro

Finished up 150 solar kills and my rumble matches tonight. I'll plow through the precision hc kills tomorrow I think. Rolling stack makes this go by fast

3rd street for life
I tried a bit to do the well last night, but there weren't enough people around to carry me too much, and I'm light level 520 so it got pretty painful. The group there completed a level 2 and then got stomped trying to do a level 3, but no seed dropped. I have to do 2 more crucible matches for the weekly, but am mostly out of easy opportunities for powerful gear for the week on my lock.

So I moved on and worked on my hunter a bit. I did learn that it's possible to up your light level to the point where you can no longer use any drops while leveling in the 40s. I mailed my Hunter 3 level 505ish legendary weapons and a piece of exotic armor from Xur when I was level 42, and then couldn't use any of my blue drops for like 6 levels. Anyway I'm at 500 now on him. I assume there is still a benefit to mailing weapons and stuff back and forth to up my light level as much as possible before getting the powerful gear rewards on this guy as well, right?

I really want the iron banner armor (particularly the hunter set), but we'll see how painful it is to do in the low 500s. In destiny 1 it kind of sucked being lower light to start with, but while grinding it out you managed to get some consistent light level increases until you weren't just a free kill. It doesn't seem like that will work now since most drops / rewards are always under level.

I started on solar kills yesterday and played way too much, mostly solo, and knocked out all the quests. Now I just need to go from 1540 to 2040 glory. I feel like this dumb gun is within my reach.

I think my time spent on that quest was half solo/half squaded up. I think I got pretty lucky matching up with decent pubs. Start to finish I got it done in a few weeks but that really equates to 5 or 6 solid grind sessions.
(edit: and a lot of kills wasted playing with chaperone because drat I have fallen in love with that gun during this grind)

Redrix took way longer. And that gun sucks

Is there anyway to hear fireteam chat without a Ps4 headset? I haven't got one yet, but the game gives me the option to open fireteam channel when I have teammates. I just can't actually hear anyone say anything, I'm assuming because I don't have a headset of my own to communicate with, so the game just blocks it out completely?
