Forensic Nightmare can drop from the weekly Preservation mission.

The desire sensor must have been malfunctioning because I got 2 from the 2nd altar, one of which was red. Thanks all!

Forensic Nightmare, Pointed Inquiry, Likely Suspect, Red Herring, and Empirical Evidence can drop from any activity or engram in the Throne World that isn’t locked into dropping something else

I think I get solar titan. I throw my hammer at mans, it bounces back to me, I throw my hammer again. I'm trying to figure out arc titan, especially grenades. They feel too scarce to use, and I feel like I can just take extra time to shoot the things instead. What am I missing?

Solar titan is god mode. Arc titan is uh a missed opportunity. It's okay but just go back to solar titan or if you're really keen on arc change classes.

Void I have no strong feelings on. Good all rounder I guess?

I played some IB last night...I still wonder when I power punch someone it does 1/4 to 1/2 shield damage but they punch me back and I die? Like HoIL x2 melee...1/2 shield damage... Otherwise pvp as usual, stomp or get stomped, just try to shoot mans as best as possible. I've learned that not dying is just as good as getting kills.

Is there an easier way to get Forensic Nightmare to drop? I need one more for the Gumshoe seal, but I've never seen it drop from wellspring.

I tried to farm this from HVT chests in the throne world for like a full day. DON'T DO THIS

Instead, do Altars of Reflection (on your map in the Throne World). It drops there with some regularity.

edit: I see I'm late to this, but in case anyone thinks they can get it from HVT chests or public events, they are incorrect. I tried for hours with no drop and then got it almost immediately when I did an altar.

Are you still able to get the bits needed to upgrade the seasonal artifacts for the war table and creepy basement elephant skull thing in the helm? I have too many umberal things and not enough plundery things but can’t seem to find out where to get those or if they took them out at the season changes.

They are tied to seasonal challenges. Look at the "past challenges" tab. I believe they should still be possible to complete.

You can definitely still focus for Risen and Haunted red frames, I bought a couple last week just cause I needed Doritos.

Man, I've been using netlimter for years because I have poo poo internet. And now all of a sudden destiny 2 is all "Whoa buddy! You can't use that ya fuckin' cheater!"

Not really sure I wanna bother anymore since the last season was kinda meh. Well see if the old rural internet can handle D2 without crutches.

I’m rural too. It’s either literal DSL or Starlink which the latter kicks me off about 3 times a play session because lol of course it does.

There is fiber like 3/4 miles away and really thinking of dropping 3k and seeing if I can rent a roof spot and do an unlicensed microwave hop.

I have t-mobiles home internet that uses cell towers, but my house is nicely tucked behind a hill that perfectly obscures the only cell tower in range. So I have to use some pretty expensive antennas to get a useful connection but it's noisy as gently caress. On the other hand it works great for my neighbors who aren't blocked by the hill.

If I use netlimiter I can stay connected pretty reliably but I'm labelled a cheater. Or I can not use netlimiter and my connection is so bad it emulates someone using netlimiter to cheat. Thanks bungy

The cutscene is Drifter calling someone "gay" as a pejorative and everyone wincing.

I don't have anything to complain about but there's plenty to make fun of, e.g. how destiny pvp is like going to the gym or like going to a block party, and how there's going to be a ranking system with completely new terminology that still means nothing to me, the person who still googles what rank numbers "brave" and "mythic" correspond to after all these years of playing destiny

edit! almost forgot, italicizing the phrase "how good you really are"?

But I am genuinely excited for 3v3 asymmetrical map Rift, and scorpion turrets in iron banner

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

It's kinda hilarious to drop the requirements on Scallywag so drastically right at the end. The Ruffian thing sucked all season long. That number could've changed at any point. It's a good change but one that's so late that it barely matters.

Watching True Vanguard's stream he was having a minor stroke about decay and adjustments to the ranked ladder. For people that look at the rewards/vendors being adjusted with the fundamental changes to the playlist, they said it was "not enough"

"We haven't had a significant PVP update in years, why aren't we getting x years worth of development on PVP?"

y'know, generic entitled whining.

The Glorious title should show off your current division instead, really drive the streamers nuts trying to clout chase. Bonus points if the gilding number shows what % of players you're in.

Just hit the mailbox and Scallywag popped for me like three seconds later. It's nice but also pretty much kills any reason for me to play for the next two weeks. Destiny is a land of contrast.

tbf Uber sweats are probably far more interested in getting 100% perfect rolls of Crucible weapons than I am, but you’re right that this is broadly a little silly. (getting resets faster to unlock the ritual weapons and their ornaments will be nice for them though!)
