Ada-1 is selling the Dead Orbit Resurrection shader this week, which came out in the CoO expansion. I don’t know how available it’s been since, but I’ve never seen it before. It’s an awesome shader for grimdark solid black outfits

Also Goldleaf, which is one of the best gold shaders in the game.

Joe jowns but lol if they made him do e2e testing. Voluntarily sure but the director has more important things to do than actual testing. He should be reviewing a finished product or focusing on known pain points.

He should’ve done that for light fall

Like, a lightweight frame SMG? Funnelweb is a void lightweight in the veist frame with frenzy as a possible perk to make it feel smooth

Osteo Striga can feel like that thanks to the exotic primary buffs and stacking bullet damage with poison on larger targets.

In this week's Nightfall I finally figured out you can stunlock that Tormentor with disorienting grenades.

I ground out a bunch of Dares, got a Pardon our Dust schematic and am now dishing out immense payback. I hate that fucker so much.

That's about it for their backstory they're basically never mentioned ever again except to say that Mara still has one

Having some fun with this after pulling it out of my vault:



Is there anything particularly worthwhile in Xur's legendary offerings this weekend? The Hallowfire Heart has a decent roll, for sure, and that Calus Mini-Tool looks appetizing. Disruption break is a super fun PVE perk, but I can't remember if it has any effect on Guardian over/shields.

I am gonna take that Xur-roll Iota Draconis for a spin, it looks like it feeds itself great for a Crucible fusion rifle.

Just incase anyone was thinking about it, buying the lost memento does not unlock the black shader for everything like the achievement did.

I mean I now have a lovely matte black crafted Austringer with the Prized Ivory skin, but I'd still rather have spent that money on red borders.

Yeah, that was a time limited achievement from the Festival of the Lost event card back in October. Is it even visible in-game any more?

I thought the all black shader was the memento? Or was there an additional shader that was a triumph reward?

Yeah I'm not aware of any way to unlock the black shader for everything. It should only be pickable on crafted guns you installed a Lost memento in, but on those guns you can turn it off and on as many times as you want

The memento gives the gun its applied to access to the shader at level 30.

Apparently if you did a bunch of bullshit during FOTL, it gave you the shader to use on anything you wanted.

E: source but now I look at it, it could just be AI lying.

There was a shader you could earn from Festival of the Lost, called Magical Transformation, which was very pink and gold and came from manifesting pages.

The Twilight Keepsake shader is the same Momento shader system as everything else, but to get the Momento, you had to clear a particular triumph/challenge/whatever to get your first one, then they could randomly drop from the treat bag psuedo-engram things.

I never heard anything about that, and it's not how mementos work. I vaguely remember there was a quest and/or triumph to get your first memento during that event, with subsequent ones coming from opening up festival engrams.

Memento shaders are exclusive to the gun it's inserted into.
