I still have the last three slots in my Chalice to unlock. Is it possible to farm that many imperials before Sep 17? I need ~16000, and have already cashed in most of the triumphs. Why do I want that dumb emblem for moments of triumph?

Most people had their chalices fully 100% unlocked within 2-3 weeks of the season start.

As long as you got Power & Efficiency II early, you'll be fine

Do all the triumphs, buy all the barge chests, always have a "bonus imperials" consumable active, etc

also there is a bug with starting wave 7 EP too soon and the boss not spawning, wait at least 10 seconds before starting it.

They already had that, it was just by your 5th completion regardless of tier 2/tier 3. They just slightly improved the bad luck protection.

Before the buff:
6.6% chance to get a Spare Rations in Tier 2
4% in Tier 3

Post-buff:
8.3% in Tier 2
10% in Tier 3

Which is god-awful compared to Menag (100% and you choose the masterwork)

Source on the pre-buff? I'm fairly confident I've gone more than 5 clears without a weapon drop before.

I'm also not sure that dudeMan's "you should expect a drop every 2 clears" should be taken as a literal guarantee mechanic of 1 drop every second clear.

Yeah, same, but over a bunch of farming around a month ago, 1/5 seemed to be the average for me.

Barricade nerf annoys the poo poo out of me. It's low key effective in pvp because you could pop your barricade with alpha lupi and push immediately and it would confuse people.

Was really handy with last word for winning a 1v2.

Kind of also hinders titans utility in pve in general and they already kinda sucked in pve comparatively.

This would help a lot. I have basically not aim but I can drop a grenade in panic. Grenades is basically how I managed to win games in trials or osiris, sometimes forgetting I had a weapon equiped.

People endlessly complained about OHKO grenades, if you'll remember. Teams in trials would run all starfire protocol warlocks with double fusions to abuse the tracking. Basically what I'm saying is that it sounds like it would solve what you don't like now (shotguns) but cause a completely different problem.

If you want to solve shotguns without waiting for a major design change, just run a fusion! It's easy, it's fun, and it's got cool particle effects!

I don't think grenades should be OHK even though it would be a ton of fun because murdering assholes is great.

But they should not be things that people straight up ignore like they do now. You can't even reliably combo them because of the TTK on weapons, if you try to fling a grenade and finish up with gunfire you're gonna lose 99% of the time.

It's just a button we've all taught ourselves to press when an opponent ducks around a corner, hoping they stopped right there to get finished off in the splash damage (this never happens).

Nice! It's going to be quite good in PvP next season. Maybe lost sectors too, but it's a bit outside my lane to claim it.

I run double pulse nades and just use them to block off doors, deny area and otherwise control traffic, it works really well.

Titan and especially Warlock grenades are in a decent place (especially with Arc Web, hello quad-kill grenade), but trying to get Hunter grenade kills is an exercise in frustration.

Trip mines are pretty fun, you can get some silly kills if you're clever with placement.

Nothing approaches the gently caress you factor of arc web though.
