Hm the first mission was good but after that I feel like everything fell flat on its face. I felt bored just doing one public harvester event already. Solar 3.0 isn't as flashy or interesting as void 3.0. Will probably skip this season altogether.

You should do the first Sever mission then

I’m less enthused with solar warlock (for dps, the support kit seems great) but solar titan is loving great.

and Trespasser's icon faces the wrong way, too

ggrrrrrrrrrrrr


the dungeon appears to borrow HEAVILY from Crown of Sorrows raid, with objectives of Defeat Sorrow-Bearer, Unlock the Vault, and Defeat Calus' Greatest Shame


The trials guns must be unlocked from rank 10 and 16 on saint-14's rep track before they drop from engrams, but you can be your baddest egyptian monkey god self right now if you held onto any.

Luckily the trials fusion & sidearm are rear end

Crucible's new fusion is the best PvE Fusion in the game

I could've sworn they planned to revamp Shaxx & Zavala to use the Saint Drifter system this season too, but that must have been for s18 or beyond

I'm so curious what exotics will pop up this season in the solar 3.0 sandbox.

Hallowfire seems to have the same problem as Armamentarium - They're just worse versions of Inmost Light!

I bet Ashen Wake and Sunbracers are real mofos this season

Warlock solar feels a bit underwhelming after void, but the armour has a ghostbusters trap so best season ever.

E: Decent roll of the new stasis bow at Banshee, remember his rolls change midweek so grab it now!

This is actually the season of the Devil's Ruin


Anti-barrier mod procs from hipfire, and it's inherently anti-unstoppable from the charged laser

As an exotic primary, it drops Heavy ammo all the time and does bonus damage to red bars

The artifact also has a TON of options to crank this gun to the max

Solar Exotic final blows create Solar elemental wells.
Stunning a Champion causes it to ignite and clears your shield stun.
Picking up an Orb of Power makes you radiant.
While radiant, Solar precision final blows cause combatants to ignite.
Your ignitions do increased damage in an increased radius.

Toss on your Path of the Burning Steps to get even sillier with it

It's any of the chests in the patrol area, though you may have to finish the event to "end lockdown" and be able to explore the old raid rooms to find some. You can view what chest it's for by mousing over your key in your inventory.

Didn't Bungie say you'll never be able to use champion mods with exotics that have an intrinsic anti-champ? Is this an oversight because of the dual modes?

Yes.

Also yes.

Although it's less of an "oversight" and more of a "happy accident". The restriction is in place because they couldn't make it work due to codebase, not because of balance reasons. The reason it works for Devil's Ruin is because the Sidearm and the Beam are mechanically different weapons/effects, so the base gun has "an open slot" for the anti-barrier effect.

I have no idea and am SUPER curious. Maybe it means it resets the champions "ready to be stunned" again?

Yeah!!!

I'm curious if you can TRIPLE Stun by running it on Secant Filament Warlock. I'd assume that hipfiring it would allow the ("inherent") Overload from Secant Rift to overwrite the "mod-slot" anti-barrier.

It doesn't seem to work, I just tested it. But, if you're running secants you can stun with your other weapons anyways.

Did enjoy Sever, particularly chasing the boss around the gauntlet. I wonder if there'll be different areas for the other weeks, the triumphs look like there should be 7 versions. Generally enjoying the whole glykonized-leviathan aesthetic.

Anyone else had soft-locks happen when loading into the tower? Inventory still works, but the game screen stays black. I've had this happen a few times on PS4.

Three months of void 3.0 appears to have permanently broken my brain now that I'm trying solar 3.0 on hunter because I no longer have my Get Out Of All Trouble button I've lost count of the number of times I've sailed into a group of enemies thinking I can quickly invis out after I finish this champion and instead I just eat poo poo. Or lose my shields and reflexively hit my dodge button, only for me to do a slow lazy buff dodge that gives all the enemies in the room all the time they need to line up their killshots

I don't *have* that quest, and seeing it was a challenge last season it wont let me de-select it. If I try to reshape my Enigma again, like hoping it would spur the thing to complete, nothing happens. Even if I do the Intrinsic Perk first THEN do one of the others.
