"When life gives you ghosts, you make ghost-robots"

I think this is a philosophy we can all aspire to.

Dragonfly spec might not be optimal, but it's good at making me go "ohohohehohehehe" so it's impossible to say if it's good or bad.

Inmost Light is really, really good on Behemoth, especially with both Aspects equipped and 3 synergistic Fragments. You'll have your abilities up SO often. Mix in a weapon with Demolitionist and/or Monte Carlo and you are constantly casting your abilities

How many exotics (from the world pool) are you missing? Do you know about Xur's Fated Engram and how to use Exotic Ciphers to get multiple Fated Engrams per week??

And more importantly, when the Special Lost Sector is dropping Chest Slot Exotics, farm that poo poo, farm farm farm farm it. It will only drop Chest Armor that you have not collected before, so you're probably going to get Inmost Light very quickly!

I know but I keep not getting it lmao, I'm missing more than I thought at this point I suppose. I got Monte Carlo with my first Cipher though, I was saving the second for Heir Apparent when it comes back or something but gently caress it at this point

Heir Apparent will never be available for an Exotic Cipher, btw. It's the reward for the annual Guardian Games in July.

You have your Season Track exotic Cipher, and you get one from a certain Triumph that I can't recall but is probably already Finished for you, and Xur offers a quest for one each week too. You'll have your inmost light in the next couple days, I guarantee!


(if Xur is selling a weapon or armor that you don't have... be sure to buy that FIRST, before using your exotic cipher. Otherwise you know he's just gonna give you the thing he's selling!)

There are 3 Lost Sectors on Europa and 2 on the Cosmodrome. Once you've cleared them, and once you're over 1200, you will be able to see the two special lost sectors per day.

One will be 1280 and "Commonly" drop exotic armor, and one will be 1250 and "Rarely" drop exotic armor. It's fixed, each day, which lost sector is which difficulty and which Armor Slot it drops.

For example, you might see a day where Bunker E15 is at 1250 and drops Exotic Helmets

The artifact has an infinite combo with overload champions. The mods "Solar and Stasis grenades break overload champs" and "Disrupting a champion refreshes your grenade" goes infinite. Just keep throwing glacier grenades at an overload champ and DPSing with guns. ezpz.

Raid very easy, but watching a guide is a considerate way to avoid wasting too much of your fireteam's time.

You'll still need coaching and will goof up a few times, but you'll slow the group down by a half hour instead of 2+ hours if you watch a guide.

People are going to be running this raid all day every day so it's not hard to join a group. 1240 light with Lament is a good goal to shoot for

Lol it’s gonna suck for as I’m the Sherpa for my friends and we’re planning on Monday or Tuesday to finally run it. Thankfully they’ll be 1240+ by then

See people talking about weekly Stasis quests from the Stranger, how do I unlock those? I can get a weekly drop for killing stuff off-world with Stasis, and that's it.

I've finished all the Stasis grenade quests, so I'm stumped.

Have you unlocked the exotic stasis launcher? You need your stasis aspect to get the fragment quests.

It sucks, I'm afraid. It's useful for the various quests that you do to unlock your Aspects and Fragments but then you'll never touch it again. Takes about one mississippi to charge.

It has some use on a titan to make more ice walls to smash and get more grenade juice. But that's a pretty small use case because grenade uptime is so good already.

I respectfully argue the Stasis grenade launcher is indeed, poo poo for anything vs another person. Simply because I'd rather blast them to bits with a regular heavy grenade of the legendary variety. Or better yet, simply chop with a sword after doing one of those map teleport gate hops in Gambit.

I mean there might be an edge case for it. Like maybe you're doing a weekly stasis kill mission and really don't want to be using your stasis class. Otherwise I've got nothing.

For those who enjoy it never stop having fun your way.

So, i think most people missed it, but No Love Lost explains what is different in this time loop, and it was us killing the heart of the black garden in D1. I cannot wait for bungie to finally explain what the gently caress that was about, and it looks like they may.

I live by the creed that your Exotic Weapon should either be used frequently or have a massive impact. Unfortunately, Salvation's Grip fits neither of those, so it gets to live in Collections.

It'd be a lot more tolerable as an oddity/utility weapon if it used Special ammo instead of Heavy.

Now I’m imagining it as an exotic truthteller that flash freezes everything in its blast radius and I’m sad we didn’t get it.
