No, milestone yesterday

2x infamy is, iirc, tracking cluster with impact casing and about 75 velocity 75 radius from barrel perks. So arguably better in some ways but worse in others.

I like that there are legitimate sidegrades again :cheers:

what cracks me up about the impending Sleeper AA nerf is that I'm 99% sure it'll be a line item nerf to Sleeper and miss the the bullshit that is QB entirely

https://i.imgur.com/JS8yhSE.gifv

its 5 of the easiest kills you'll ever get per brick :allears:

e: If you're the designated invader on your gambit stack QB is the pro choice but use Marksman sights. It's just as effortless as Sleeper but with 5 in the mag and spools faster than Sleeper. Only exception to this would be a catalyst Sleeper. That thing is some straight horseshit.

I got the Lake of Shadows nightfall drop- it's a kinetic breech load grenade launcher

it was even masterworked right off the bat, so I'm pretty sure that means it has Bungie curated perks, right?

... it has genesis, which DOESN'T WORK WITH KINETIC

Yeah, all of this together means it's a year 1 reward that got changed from power to kinetic with no real thought put into it :bungie:

Genesis has two aspects

1. Breaking a shield reloads from reserves
2. Energy weapons hitting a shield of the same element instantly refunds

So on a kinetic or heavy weapon with Genesis, breaking a shield reloads the mag. Which the Lake of Shadows launcher does. I've tested it. It's basically fighting lion but in non exotic form and it owns. It's actually extremely well thought out


PS: if you get solid hits on guardians in PvP you get an instant second grenade, hth.

in the redux solstice of heroes version, two of the rooms had heavy ammo dispensers and the third just opened automatically to release the enemies on you

The entire system is a gigantic mess outside the Last City and it keeps getting worse because the template for Destiny content doesn't allow for the bad guys to ever be completely exterminated or fully retreat back to interstellar space.

Also there are 3 gigantic deathships in various states of operability (Almighty, Leviathan, Dreadnaught).

The named enemies were Calus' Shadows who went to the Almighty to kill either Ghaul or some other mook, but failed and got owned. I think it's the lore detailed in the Prestige Raid Titan Armor

The entire solar system is hosed up beyond belief, everything's either been hollowed out or broken up or crashed in to or vex-ised so many times they hardly resemble planets anymore. Two more ships, no matter how big, ain't no problem.

Maybe they'll do a spinoff sandbox game five years from now where you're a non-guardian flying a cargo ship collecting scrap to help humanity rebuild.

QB not getting a nerf isn't as bad since everyone can easily get Sleeper, whereas it actually requires you to get a random exotic Forsaken drop to get QB, so approximately 6 people have it.
