I'm going to need help with Seraph Station. I can't figure out how to progress a ways into the whole scanner section, specifically getting through the trap room.

With the hacking buff up, you can see the safe path through the window. It also shows you the three terminals you need to hack in the room above

That's the problem. I can't find the way in, and I've looked everywhere.

There should be a door right next to the lower window on the right. if it's not open you probably have to put the buff in a terminal somewhere nearby.

It's getting better for me, but I am a relatively casual player.

The last few days have been especially good - the Thunderlord catalyst dropped, and grinding Wellspring for the Dawning event got me the last red frame to round out the Witch Queen crafted weapon set

I have 2,500 hours in D2 alone—it climbs up to 3,000 if you include D1—and I disagree. I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone and clearly a lot of people in this thread should not be playing it, but it’s a fantastic game

Riptide with Chill Clip is so good with the FA changes. You can kill a barrier champ from full in one clip. Then pair it with Vex and Stormchaser and ROF and we're cooking.

I keep alternating between -

Contraverse Hold
Rain of Fire
Osmiomancy Gloves
Fallen Sunstar

I use CH mainly because overcharged void grenades are so insanely good now but switch between osmiomancy and sunstar depending on burn. Almost never do solar anymore

Im getting a late start to this season so sorry if this has already been answered but,

are heists supposed to be this hard? It says recommended power 1550, I have 1577 but everything hit like a truck and seemed to take way more damage than it should if I was 20 levels above the level it was

Lexorin
Jul 5, 2000

Yeah, Heists are set to always be 5 levels over you. So no matter what your light level, you're facing tougher enemies.

Just make sure you've got 100 resilience and 2 "Damage Resist" mods on your chest and you should be able to shrug off the incoming damage

For killing dudes more goodly, use more of your special/heavy and less of your primary! Enemies have a lot of health these days and primaries are really just a backup gun for when you're outta bullets

Apologies if you already know this, but resilience was reworked and is totally cracked now. Tier 1 gives you 1% damage reduction, but Tier 10 gives you 40%

oh no I knew all that about resilience and have 100 + the 2 mods, I played the last 3 seasons, I was just shocked at how hard stuff was hitting because I missed the "its 5 levels above you always" memo and hadn't stepped into it until today.

Now that I know that, and what to prepare for in terms of enemies, itll be easier. Thanks.

Seems like the drones can show up in more the one location. I saw them once in early in the mission in a vertical room with a lot of turrets, and the on another run in the hanger after the space walk. In both cases you need to get a scanner and back track a bit. The one in the hanger is a bit weird because there's a barrier that would normally disable/strip augments, but doesn't seem to remove Scanner. (It's probably designed to only stop you from bringing extra Operators forward)

Also, a few spots blocked off by lasers that you can eager edge past (Thruster and Icarus Dash may work too, but are far less reliable) - we're supposed to get an upgrade later in the season to get past these, one spot somewhat early into the mission has a secret chest past the lasers.

Both secret chests seem to be once a week, per account. (Or maybe one time ever) They might be more likely to give red frames?

Also, be sure to do the seraph node stuff - if you've done all the ones up to now, you can start doing the ones on the station after you've finished one run. I think the station ones seem like they give guaranteed red frame Ikelos weapons. (I got one of each, and I'm nearly certain my friend did too, with the node at the end of the mission both giving us the HC.)

No, Anti-Champion weapons will only do the champion they're default for. No doubling up. There's some weird edge cases like exotics that have special conditions for their anti-champion application, like Le Monarque, which counters champs only on precision, but equipping overload bow makes it work regardless, IIRC.

Yep, drones can spawn in one of four different spots. Some are easier to bring Scanner to than others >_<

I tried to take the spacewalk route from the raid back to 8-track's room, but sadly there was nothing I could find even though the whole section is still navigable.

I took the Rangefinder/TTT Liminal Vigil I got from the dungeon last week for a spin on Europa to do the weekly challenge and it is the snappiest little thing.

As an fyi for anyone without a chill clip riptide they added a new omolon fusion with reconstruction and chill clip if you want to gamble some engrams. You should probably gamble them on random ikelos first though.

Whoa! You're gonna be a legend!
I am very happy that the legend version of the mission opts for difficulty challenges that aren't Match Game or More Champions, the final encounter's infinite spawns make it so there are always 7+ lantern bois five seconds away from catching up to you no matter where you are and forcing you to be constantly on the move is so much better a choice to design a difficult encounter. More of this poo poo please.

My one gripe is that areas where you’re expected to die at least a couple times (microwave room, spacewalk) should have zero spawn timer.

But yeah, mission good, and the skybox with the traveler floating over earth is gorgeous.

As someone who was doing it solo and miscounted or cut corners a few times, the microwave room was awful with this.

and this and not having witch queen so I can't do nightfall this is one of my least favorite weeks in the 9 months I've been playing this game. I'll be doing the bare minimum and moving on

edit: and I completely forgot about buggy things not being highlighted so I run around in circles for 10 minutes until the game decides to show me the thing correctly

Finally showing off what the new engine improvements and upgrades can do. Remember when there were only like 3-6 enemies out at once? Having 20+ enemies in the final room sets the pace to be frantic. And supremely fun when they all explode.

Good mission!

I've developed an interesting glitch with the game randomly not recognising crouch commands. It's not my controller because the same button was unsummoning menus absolutely fine, and I fixed it by going into controller settings, binding and unbinding crouch, and it was fine.

Hilariously it started doing this just after the elevators where you have to go into the vent, rip my warlock for temporarily having no knees

Another fun glitch in the mission: you cannot slide under lasers, even the ones you can crouch walk under. Also very fun to discover
