The Drake has been there since year 1; it's just had a super tiny chance to ever spawn. Same thing for the original Arms Dealer, in the open area before you enter the big ship (no clue if the new version of the strike can still spawn it).

What the hell lol, I've never seen that in either. That's cool

by doing it right.


Holliday was the one who dropped it off but she's been demoted to a pile of ashes so I don't think there's a line for it anymore and therefore it's much easier to miss

I have many fond memories of getting the extremely rare spawn and driving the Drake up through the ship, only to wedge it in the hallway before you see Sniper Joe for the first time and other players emoting at me about it

Anyone that comes up under the Destiny 2 tag and has 'drops enabled' in the bio. I watched Luckyy10p and got it.

Logged in to pledge my hunter and get the final package I need by quickly running through whatever the focus activity is. Got matchmade with 1 (one) other warlock through the entirety of the Navota strike who didn't seem to have any anti champ mods.

Quite happy I disovered radiant does anti-barrier and Austringer does anti-unstoppable. Still a ballache.

I better get that motherflippin package...

I think it's because they said "the hard part is wanting to play destiny 2" which makes sense. It's not like there aren't a bunch of people who burned out on the game but still spend time complaining about how the game is bad and will never get better. That's not even Destiny exclusive.

The funniest response when asked "if you aren't playing and think this game is going to be forever terrible why don't you move on?" is "because I want it to be good!" which is like awkwardly hanging around and sniping at your ex to try and get her to pay attention to your needs again lol

On the other hand this is the fiftieth Guardian Games and we are still getting new content (bugs) so there's entertainment for both sides, really.

Edit: I didn't even realise person above was the one that asked the question but anyway.

PS Envious Assassin/Chain Reaction Hullabaloo is really fun, go play with it. I'm using last year's TD/RB Title, this year the most interesting combo is RB/Destab Rounds which is eh.

Burn out, take a break (indefinite if you feel like it) and post, it's fine. It's just weird when people Kramer in to any game thread to go "I HATE IT AND IT'LL ALWAYS BE BAD". I don't think it's a coincidence that the people who seem to hate it the most seem to be the ones who would grind out red borders day one, etc. I think I'd hate any game I was playing that much, that hard.

If you want to do it the "easy" way, wait till the reset on Tuesday and try to get as many points as you can in a nightfall.

*looks worried* Points? in a Nightfall?

Easy????

I am not one of the world's greatest destiny players, that's part of why I quit, if you asked me "bro do you even raid" I would look awkward and apologize

what's the, uh... second easiest way? :ohdear:

You can get the skimmer by basically doing whatever GG stuff for random medallions, plus the Diamond twitch stuff once a week. That will net the points you need.

I am also not a Pro Gamer so don't worry about it so much imo. I did King's Fall raid the other day and the last one before that was like a year ago in Deep Stone Crypt lol. Play other games, do the life thing, play and do stuff when you want, if you want.

Edit: The closest I have to a raid weapon pattern is Trustee with 3/5, because three red borders dropped the one time I ran it lol

The only thing better than the pubbies killing the champion before you can finish it is stunning the champ, all 3 of you emote to wait for someone else to damage it, and then it recovers and murders you

Yeah I'm kind of spastic so I usually hit 8-10 of the wrong buttons in between d-pad and whatever i have finishers bound to and by the time i recover from that the champs have healed :V

Or a teammate finishes it first.

Log in as a hunter when the focus activity is up and complete a focus activity - sometimes it's a nightfall (boo), sometimes it's a strike, gambit or supremacy (less boo). If you finish one as a hunter (hunters have won all of them so far), you get a winners package. ONLY OPEN IT ONCE YOUR MEDAL CASE IS EMPTY. Repeat 3 times. I did this and as long as you have a spare hunter it's easy.

GG nightfalls are a bit easier because you also have the gold / silver / bronze boosts and your abilities refill about twice as fast.

3rd easiest: link your bungie and twitch accounts and leave it streaming on mute while you go do something else. Check your drops after 2 hours for a medal worth 300 points. Do this once a week and then just do playlist activities and contender cards for the other 300 points (you got 3 weeks so this is the most straightforward).
