The unstoppable at the start of dead messenger used to be great for that. Fond memories of killing that guy over and over and returning to orbit for the pinnacle last year.

Why didn’t y’all warn me I would be fighting the entirety of the vex in the legendary exotic mission. Jesus Christ is it even possible to do that solo?

Not only is it possible, due to scaling, it’s the easiest way to do it! It’s actually a really fun mission, Wyverns aside, because you truly are trashing through the entirety of the vex as you make your way through it.

Run void, with Devour, and use void weapons with Repulsor Brace. You'll need to play it like Doom Eternal where killing is what keeps you alive! Legendary Avalon requires very skilled play, but it is first and foremost a Build Check. It would probably be impossible to complete in Blues

My first clear used my 4ttc/target lock Retrofit Escapade, which in retrospect was basically two blank perks because i absolutely was not getting precision hits hipfire spraying with it in a panic. A blue void LMG (is there a blue void LMG?) would probably have done just as well. Not having wish-ender to cheese the last boss would be horrible though. e: also you absolutely do not need skilled play, you just need devour up while you spray wildly with a void LMG. remember that volatile rounds let you knock out hobgoblins even if you miss the head or crit spot, since anti-barrier damages them through the immunity. e2: for what its worth, esoterikk's solo flawless was done on strandlock, using the ludicrous enemy density to its advantage with osteo striga weaver's trance

I wouldn't really agree that Avalon (Legend or normal) is easiest solo. Even if grouping increases hp, with a duo, assuming your buddy isn't dead weight, you gain so much from having someone tackle adds while the other does the puzzle, or just having a margin of error, or someone to draw fire.

I knew about the hydra and phalanx ones, had no clue about the others. Do unstop/overload have any effects like that or is barrier just weirdly good? HoN didn't seem to be doing a lot of damage to guardians even with guidance ring, gonna try it again cause I had kinda bad positioning

Volatile Rounds seem to be a little wonky with its anti-barrier properties. Weapons with anti-barrier seem to be 100% consistent with going through Hydra Shields and Immune Hobos, but Volatile Rounds seem to be more like 50/50 on whether they're gonna say Immune or do dome damage Volatile Swords also seem to do literally nothing, even against Barrier Champs, as far as I could tell from a RoN last night, but that was a very small sample size of Two or Three Thwacks Reiterpallasch posted:My first clear used my 4ttc/target lock Retrofit Escapade, which in retrospect was basically two blank perks because i absolutely was not getting precision hits hipfire spraying with it in a panic.

I feel like this is agreeing with everything I posted, haha. But like with a veneer of 'well actually no' on it. I'm not familiar with esoterikk but is he pretty bad at pve and it's like a "if he can do it, anyone can do it" type of deal? Cuz I think strand warlock is supposed to actually be pretty powerful, and Osteo Striga imho is one of the best weapons in the game & especially for Avalon

Sad to report that hierarchy sucks as an invader weapon. Even with guidance ring at a sizable distance I had to 3-tap to kill a guardian, and I'm a sitting duck. It's still good for gambit, just as an envoy shredder/ad clear machine.

Strandlock with Imperial Decree, Hiearchy and Stormchaser. Xeno is the more correct choice for invading, LMGs are so busted for that role rn, but this works pretty nicely as a reaper set-up. I am getting annoyed at these bad invades though so I will now be going in with the sweat loadout to ruin some peoples days arsenicCatnip fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Mar 23, 2023 |

Pinnacle rng fuckin sucks. I sure do love a run where every pinnacle is for the same slot so you either get a single point increase in that slot or even no increase. Good times.

My typical gambit loadout is kinetic special, smg (or otherwise good add clear energy), lmg heavy. Burst super that I save to one-shot the primeval on the 3rd(?) round so you don't get cockblocked by their shield thresholds. Works pretty well. LMG heavy is basically mandatory for invade/counter invade imo

I've also had some success with Deathbringer but there's a huge learning curve I haven't fully overcome there. When you can get the positioning right though it's inhumane lmao

arsenicCatnip posted:I knew about the hydra and phalanx ones, had no clue about the others. Do unstop/overload have any effects like that or is barrier just weirdly good? Overload will reduce enemy damage output (~25%) and turn off certain abilities like teleporting or taken captains shooting blights; it's actually quite handy to have around even if its effects aren't showy. Unstoppable says it will stun unshielded enemies, but for primaries that usually requires you to hold your fire to get the effect so it doesn't come up as much. It's more useful on something like a glaive where you can shoot a major to stagger them without having to hold your fire, then move in to slice them up before they recover.

If Cheese Forever or FalloutPlays says its easy, it probably is. I don't think Esoterickk has ever made a point of saying that his playthroughs are easy, just that it is possible to complete as a proof-of-concept.

Cleaned up my emblem section, it was cool going through and seeing what old emblems I actually got. I barely played pre-DCV and have like 0 memories of that time so I like having the forge and mercury emblems as reminders that yeah, I actually did play the game back then.

Alright, I gotta ask-- what's the deal with Grand Overture in pvp? I saw that it had a bug where it would do its blinding effect on other weapons, but I just was in a lobby where one guy seemed to just use it like a primary all match, and obliterated everyone. Does it load like fifty bullets on pickup or something jesus christ
