There have been some astonishingly silly generalizations about PvP and PvE players from the other side over the years but points for getting way out in front I guess.

I’m not playing at the moment or for the foreseeable future. Got tired of the seasonal regrind and tired of the Bungie cycle of “Make mistake, fix six months later, make similar but slightly different mistake, repeat forever.”

Still pretty much my favorite shooter of all time but the MMO elements weigh it down - as they currently are - more than help it in the end.

You WILL finally clean your vault this week so that you can actually play again!

Ugh, yeah, I cleared out like 150 slots at the start of last season and im full again.

Smdh at all you vault hoarding folks. I clean a prim and proper vault, as it should be!

Also I like PvP, it's a fun way to change it up from PvE stuff. I hang out in SBMM modes tho, which is almost all of them. Trials and now Supremacy are for the sweats, so just don't play them if you don't wanna deal with that poo poo.

I have personal issues with the structure of Trials specifically but it's honestly pedantic and no one wants to hear that poo poo lol

Immortal got a huge nerf which was funny, and they specifically waited til after its showcase season of course.

Anyway, I think this season is looking really good, just hoping it doesn't repeat the Amanda sacrifice storyline, and also doesn't kind of peter out like Plunder did. But enjoying the heck out of it so far.

PS: Mask of Bakris got that 25% non stacking buff right? What they didn't tell anyone was it now applies to Arc *and* Stasis. Which is a bigger deal because it's now +25% for all three slots on demand.

The Immortal proves that they make new stuff overpowered on purpose. They drat well knew that smgs with lots of range are super strong, considering everything that they did with Shayura's.

I will also say that I think Destiny pvp is at its best when there's lots of crazy poo poo flying everywhere, and that the whole lane peaking headshot e-sports stuff gets rather tedious.

Banshee has Sailspy Pitchglass for sale which is a TOP top SSS-tier weapon for this season and in general.

If anyone missed out on it from Plunder Season last year, this is absolutely worth investing your Redframe Makers in

It's an arc precision linear, and it's an exceptionally good weapon for Legend+ content. Compulsive Reloader (yes, really!) and Voltshot go together like chocolate and peanut butter to let you annihilate hordes of red and yellow bars with great burst damage potential on Champions and Bosses as well.

Charge Time won't affect the Jolt damage so don't bother with Liquid or Accelerate Coils, and definitely skip anything that increases Magazine Size since our goal is to reload after each shot

My perfect one would probably be like...

Any MW other than Charge Time
Any Barrel you want, to complement your Masterwork
Particle or Projection depending on your Barrel & MW Choices

Compulsive Reloader
Voltshot

compulsive jolt is definitely the roll but it's also a turbo niche weapon... and doubly so because jolt is broken right now and not scaling to the weapon damage so you may as well jolt them with a auto rifle and you'd do just as much.
That'll be fixed soon though... Right?

FYI Gyrfalcon's hunter is stupid good this season. The exotic gives all void weapons volatile while leaving invisibility. Run any void weapon with the 2 void seasonal perks and you essentially create void breaches on cooldown while you kill things with a void weapon which refresh your dodge and gives overshield. It's like repulsor brace on any void gun and 24/7 uptime on overshields as long as you're killing stuff. You don't need actual repulsor and can take a damage buff or use anything your heart desires. The constant volatile feels alot like last season tbh.

Cessation is the hook into void breaches. I like rolling undermining, starvation and obscurity but honestly you can lean into like whatever you want as long as you have Cessation to generate the void breaches. You can finish things to apply more volatile which is fun in and of itself. I don't know that you need devour in low-mid game content but I like it as an insurance policy. Probably better fragments or whatever to run but meh

There is no way Salvations Grip is going stay as crazy as this. I am using it on hunter and one shot shatter dive just melts groups of enemies. Stronger enemies is one shot then shoot then with an uncharged shots for like 100k damage pre-crystal shattering damage.

Holy poo poo this is so much fun. Shame heavy grenade launchers kind of have lovely ammo economy.

Radiant Dance Machines buff is very fun. Game breaking? Nah. Meta? Nah. Not even close to release level of bonkers. But on activation you get six seconds to dodge. Any kill at all resets the timer to 10 seconds tho.

It's still super niche, it doesn't activate aspects like the slowdodge, but it can be some silly fun now.

Probably the most effective way I've found to use it is to use either Arc or Stasis. Gambler's dodge, of course. Heavy Handed for orbs, two Impact Induction mods for 25% grenade energy every seven seconds for melee damage, and Innervation for grenade energy on orbs.

Pretty much does what you figure. Dodge around like an idiot, getting those melee charges, either punch, frisbee, shoot, whatever and keep it going. Lots of orbs, lots of traces, gently caress LOADS of shards. All the while the constant orbs are recharging your grenades along with your melee.

Shards provide overshield and heal, with mods like Better Already or Recuperation helping too. Arc has a buttload of resist fragments for close range and being amped and stuff.

It is very silly, and lots of fun, definitely an improvement, but I doubt it'll be shifting any metas or preferences.

This stand build popped up in my feed and is pretty fun

The video covers it but RDM does NOT work with the new aspect that creates an exploding strand copy of you when you dodge. You’re better off using Sixth Coyote with strand, I think.

:siren: Xur is in the Tower selling Arbalest this weekend. If you’re new enough not to have it, make sure you grab it—it’s practically required for any endgame content with barrier champs.

His Armamentarium roll is worth grabbing too! 66 total with a recov spike.

You can get Tractor Cannon for almost free (walk ten feet and open a chest) arbalest is slightly more work but it’s a guaranteed drop

It’s insanely powerful in all endgame content, it does huge damage to shields of any kind

The Lucky Pants that Xur has on offer is pretty good as well. It stacks with the buffs Malf got and you can do more damage than most heavies with it in a single burst.

Dungeon fun and cool.

I am not sure it'll be particularly fun to run 5, 10 etc times (walking underwater gonna get OLD) but it was my favorite "first run" of a dungeon yet

Lame that "Well Warlock with a Divinity" is by far the best thing to bring to the dungeon though. Either we're missing mechanics or the bosses have A B S U R D health pools that depend on a strong player buff & enemy debuff
