-are there any new gun perks? I haven’t seen them

I searched the database for any new things tagged as "Trait" or "Intrinsic" and all I found were the new exotic perks and a new copy of Rampage that I'm assuming is the un-nerfed version that Huckleberry got to keep. So if there are new behavioral perks for guns, they're hidden at the moment.

You wanted whichever exotic sword it was that required it :suicide:

Destiny definitely trades on nostalgia too much but drat if I didn't get the same feels. I can't wait to go down into the underground zones, the downtime last night meant I wasn't able to grind far enough to make it safe.

Fallen still get hosed by AI pathing on that one building at archer's line by hopping to the roof and back to the ground repeatedly, and there's still a knight down the hill behind that dome that gets loving poo poo on every time I go back there because he just stands there staring at me like an idiot.

Yeah this DLC is barebones as all gently caress.

But the armor 2.0 lets me have some fun builds.

I can run Last Word with a backup plan Erenril, adv HC targetting, adv reload for fusion and HC, HC dexterity, traction, small arms unflinching and fusion unflinching. Tier 23. Oh gently caress its strong. I can flick between the erentil like lighting with backup plan proced.

And i feel really fast too. Faster than before the update even with tier 5 mobility.

do you have the class item mod that gives you bonus super energy on fusion kills?

In other news, the expansion repeats a lot of stuff, but the new armor and weapon system is so great idgaf

Numbers are just coming out, it looks like hand cannon range got skullfucked pretty hard. There’s now a cap of 28m range for handcannons before drop-off starts, 30m if it has rangefinder.

Ace is now something like 28m/26.5m with Memento Mori up (I guess to “balance” the extra damage)

Yes, ranges on hand cannons and pulses were brought way down to give scouts room to work.

Ideal ranges for hand cannons are under 30m now, pulses are 30-40m and scouts are 40m+

Gonna be fun vaporizing hand cannon bros with my fusion.

They really, really don't want people playing Classic 6 (the only Playlist with CBMM now). It has the tiniest icon.

SBMM Control is the big central icon so you'd best believe that's where the main population is.

One of the things that always irks me about these big expansions and the light level increase is that I get comfortable playing with my chosen weapons and then all of a sudden I have to play through the whole new story with whatever happens to drop. That makes for an uncomfortable playing experience. I haven’t gotten to focus much on the story because I’ve been so frustrated with the 7 scout rifles I got dropped in a row.

Seriously.

I had to do the whole escape mission with a scout rifle in both my kinetic and energy slots and a slow-rear end rocket launcher in my power slot. That’s not fun. Make the game fun, Bungie.

Tbh it's fun to use what I'm not comfortable with because it's taught me that SMGs are really good now. I had a rampage/explosive head bow drop for me and it also taught me that's a fun combo as you don't actually have to aim because a single stack of rampage turns it into a OHK bodyshot on acolytes.

I do. But i use a year 2 mark with scavenger instead since the super gains seem meaningless and i stack other perks on the arms and legs.

From that same thread on reddit, it’s range went down too, just not as much as Ace or Spare Rations. From 20m to 18m before drop-off, give or take.

Looks like they tested and found 18m hip fire, 20m ADS. So yeah, a ~2m nerf, which basically means a buff to shotguns in the current meta.

I never do that. I've been doing everything but the story, getting drops and leveling up the pass. I'm close to 900 now and only just started using armor 2.0 stuff and doing the campaign. made things much less painful.

Yeah, like I got the Cerberus+1 catalyst almost immediately upon jumping in but I can't afford to continuously dump enhancement cores into it while going through the story so it's just sitting there, by the wayside, while I use a series of scout rifles and sidearms living out my own nightmare.

Don't worry about spending any currency until you figure it out. Planet mats, cores, shards, and weapon parts accumulate naturally when you don't give a gently caress. Upgrading isn't advisable for new/returning players until you have an idea of what's important to you.

Yes, it absolutely sucks not having enough currency to spend. I started from scratch on pc in the beginning of 2019. Knowing what you want to keep helps you budget your resources. The currency grind is awful.
