Is there a good spot to check for gunsmith and Xur rolls? I’ve been out of the game for a year and never really found anything decent in those fronts.

You can do it in DIM under the vendor tab, it's super easy if you use it already.

That karate kid montage at the start of Headlong is hilarious


Also a huge fan of the opening mission's

You're the first guardian to ever wield Strand! Also that centurion just figured it out too so go kick his rear end before he patents it

Subtitles on is very cool because osiris calls it capital S strand and then he later talks about figuring out this mysterious “strands of energy” thing later like he didn’t just Trump-style capitalize it

Also thank you for helping! I didn’t explain that I was also wondering where folks normally talk about the quality of the rolls, but checking against Light.gg probably includes commentary on desirable rolls.

my no-prize answer for strand shields is that shields aren't actually like, using that element. It's just that whatever wavelengths or technology they use happen to be vulnerable to that element. So when a Scorn soldier has a solar shield it's not a shield of solar energy, it's an energy shield that's particularly susceptible to solar weaponry. The Shadow Legion are meant to be the Cabal but cooler and already have shield tech, so having personal shields that are resistant to everything except the new unknown element makes sense.

On another note, is it really any sillier than being able to get weapons that shoot strand and do strand poo poo before you've fully unlocked it? I don't think so

Witness seems powerful, but still chasing that gosh darned suckerpunch promise of a Final Shape; in his specific case I imagine that's the final quiet of death. It seems par for the course over there on the Darkness track.

After beating the campaign and unlocking Strand I feel kinda disappointed by it. I think the campaign was a little more lenient on the cooldowns whenever you got to sample the powers. How do I get around the grapple having such a long recharge? I have the two charges, but do I need to be stacking discipline? I get that they probably don't want you grappling and turning into a grenade every 10 seconds.

Maybe I just find it tricky to leave Stasis Hunter behind. When I use Monte Carlo I get to hurl free ice frisbees frequently.

buy Thread of Generation as soon as you can. It gives all of your damage sources a form of Demolitionist and, especially with DoT weapons, you get your grenade back SOOOO quick.

hehe 😜 but yeah, looks like this is an unannounced exotic quest the likes of which we haven’t had in a bit.

I remember people losing their minds and gnashing their teeth over something a dev said offhand about them being tougher to work in due to datamining and the necessity of advertising exactly what someone’s getting for a given season pass, but the implication was of course not that they would never do them again but just that one hadn’t been on the table for a little bit while they figured stuff out

In UNFORTUNATE news, the in-game Loadout system has led to a super annoying new issue. As we know, the Loadouts system can only 'pull' from the Vault. It can't 'put' things in the Vault. Mechanically, any gear on another character would need to be Put in the Vault first, which means Loadouts can't use any gear that is stored on another character. We knew this already.

But - Bungie has changed the base functionality of the game and made it so that your characters can no longer 'see' gear that is on another character. You're potentially going to hobble your Powerfuls & Pinnacles unless you keep your highest slot items in the Vault.



Check my Warlock here with the 1800 gloves equipped, and my NimbyGrams are 1796



If I move those Gloves into the Vault, nothing happens. But if I move those Gloves to my Hunter.... My Nimbygrams are now 1771



You might be hobbling your Powerful & Pinnacle rewards if your highest slot gear is on another character. The warning text only refers to Armor, but I tested it with weapons as well. Moving my highest power Heavy out of the vault and onto another character dropped my NimbyGrams by a point

Any mods that affect weapons when they are equipped don't seem to reliably enable when you respawn. Ways to fix them include: reseting your artifact, unequipping the item and reequipping it, changing your loadout, and leaving the activity and going back.

Each of those methods sometimes don't work, sometimes they do, sometimes they make everyone all glowy-unloaded. It's very frustrating.

Bungie can't really win with exotic missions. If they preannounce one, one third of the player base complains that there are no surprises any more. If the director tells you one started another third complains that that takes all the fun out of discovering it yourself. If they sneak one in with no hints the remaining third complains that they shouldn't have to learn about content drops from Reddit

Just finished the campaign, underwhelming compared to WQ.

Should I be shooting for 1800 LL now? I want the Loreley Helm, but it looks like I need to go back and do the WQ campaign on n legendary to get it. Are old campaigns scales to my level, or can I breeze through it at 1755~?

1800 is the minimum viable level for endgame content- high difficulty lost sectors and nightfalls, dungeons and raids, etc. You should be able to blaze through Witch Queen on normal, doing it on legendary is only necessary for a couple of triumphs and an armor drop that's no longer valuable

Loreley will also drop from the daily Legend Lost Sector when it's helmet day. It's helmet day today, and it's an easy lost sector. Go get 'em! (it's 1830 though, heads up...)

You might also get the new Stasis helmet though (plus any other exotic helmets you're still missing) so it'll take a while

The one you would get from Legendary WQ Campaign would be a 48 stat roll IIRC, and take many hours longer, so I don't recommend it. You'll have a forced power delta no matter what so no breezing through it.

Okay, so the exotics from there just drop in the weekly Lost Sectors now? That makes it easier. Thanks!
