You don’t even need to do that, just repeatedly start and cancel IB matchmaking

What's the timing on this? do I have to load into a match and quit?

No, just click to play an IB then cancel as soon as you see it say 1/12 matchmaking. You need a 2 streak for it to work though.

I got the exact same roll down to the range MW but I have moving target instead of planted. I'm not sure I can ever get off my BUP bullshit tho.

Im the exact opposite. Now that I've tasted under pressure rangefinder, I can't go back. Mapping guys is too satisfying.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
For hunter grenade kills, be the bottom arc strider tree (you want the combat meditation perk)

equip a weapon with ricochet rounds. Recluse has em, but whatever works.

shoot enemy a bit, then grenade. I guess skip is best? But I don't know.

now stand next to wall and shoot yourself until red health.

oh yeah put frostees on too. Keep yourself at read health and run in a corner until grenade charged.

Repeat.

There's a limited number of powerful drops per week from menagerie; this number will go up with an upgraded chalice.

If you really want to powerlevel, you can repeatedly loot the chest at the end of the menagerie by running out of the boss zone and returning with a fresh set of runes in the chalice. You can use this to very quickly get the full armor set and full weapon set (500 each for the triumphs) plus whatever drops from the chest itself.

This is what i was trying to do, but all of the drops were just 695 even though i was already 5 levels above that. I'm not quite sure how i can power level with it if there's a finite number of powerful drops per week and I've already seemingly hit the ceiling.

I haven’t played since the first few months of initial release (XBox). How much do I have to pay to be able to play the current expansion? Any offers out now that also bundles Shadowkeep when it releases?

Lol the tracking on the shield is worse than a dawn blade and hit detection on the bash is still as bad as yr1 arcstrider.

If it was a hunter or warlock super it would have been fixed and buffed several times now.

Yeah I miss shield bash hits in pvp constantly. Shoulder charge has similar issues. Sometimes shield bash will literally do no damage even if it hits if it's a counter super.

I've lined up dudes straight lining me and the shield has gone right through them and then the bash has failed twice.

Does my head in. Almost as much as a slam failing to one shot a nova warp or a night stalker.

Sword kills are actually the easiest because each one is a huge chunk of the bar. I finished it before fusion rifles. But then y'know you're trying to fight every loving blueberry for the heavy spawn they they inevitably lose 2 seconds later without even firing a shot. Black Talon is the way to go.

Yeah you only need 8 or so sword kills and it's not functionally different from shotgun rushing, just with very rare ammo drops

I did it the hard way with a legendary sword and it didn't even take that long, finally my qualification for the matchmaking pool of tunnel vision morons comes in handy

Do you need to complete these Saladin challenges to unlock additional armor pieces in the loot pool? Been fine but hovering around 50% grenade kills needed when I'm only 700 light so it's going really slowly. I've handed in a bunch of tokens and completed all the bounties for packages from Saladin but just keep getting boots over and over again when I'd really like a single helmet or chest piece for when Shadowkeep introduces transmog.

haveblue
Aug 15, 2005



Toilet Rascal
Yes, that's the new flow. The quest adds armor pieces to the pool, the bounties are extra powerful drops from your personal IB loot pool (armor pieces unlocked at that time, plus weapons). On the plus side, your unlocks should persist into future season 7 IBs so you have 2 more weeks before Shadowkeep in which you can finish the quest and grind armor. And finishing the quest should give you 1 of every armor piece anyway.

Thanks for the info. Which piece of armor does this current super/melee/grenade step unlock? Is it chest or helmet? I think I'll call it quits after I've got these grenade kills.

Buttcloth, cloak or bond depending on your class.

Chest is the step after and helmet is the final one.

There are 5 steps.

-Get a bunch of kills with whatever: Arms
-Cap zones: Boots
-The terrible ability step: Class item
-Kills with different specific weapons: Chest
-Just play a bunch of matches or use the exploit: Helmet

After that drops will use the full IB loot pool. 15 packages + another 160 tokens to buy out Saladin's cosmetic stock and you've maxed out season 7 of IB.

The QUEST is character based, but does anyone know if the Armor Unlocks are also character based, or account wide?

Like, now that I've got boots and arms in the pool for my Warlock, can my Titan also get boots and arms, or will he only get weapons?


(Again I know that the QUEST will show my Titan as having made no progress... I just care about what's in the Engrams)

Thanks everyone.

So I can finish the current step for the class item and the next time IB rolls around I can continue from that point and instantly start with the chest step, rather than starting from the beginning again (for that character, at least)? This will stay in my pursuits tab until Shadowkeep launches with progress from each IB carrying over to the next? That's not so bad if so, gives me a chance to hopefully snag stuff for more than one character as well.

No, it's *all* character based. So if you only wanted to roll for weapons you'd log onto a character who hasn't done any of the quest so there'd be no armour pieces in the pool.
