For pvp eye of the storm and rangefinder is the best combo. I farmed for that one. Eye of the storm removes bloom when you take damage.

Um a legendary heavy is the main pve meta right now, and plenty of people still running Hammerhead in pvp.

Yeah since using thorn more I've been using a decent roll hammerhead but I feel the same way. Maybe bad omens? Too big of a difference between wardcliff/other exotic heavy vs legendary heavy.

Edit: In pvp of course

Sorry, I'm talking about pvp. Hammerhead is probably the least bad option... Maybe. So, so easy to bait all the ammo out of someone though

For PVE I got a outlaw/demolitionist Austringer and I don't think I'll use another legendary hc in PVE again. 5 kills and you got your grenade back even if you don't have any other +grenade regen perks. It's almost exotic level good.

I run 3 legendary weapons in pvp right now. Vendor Bygones, erentil, play of the game (until I can finish the double kills abs medals for mountaintop). If I were to use another legendary heavy I would probably go hammerhead.

I spent a season using nothing but POTG and once I finished mountaintop I was utterly blown away by how much better ward cliff is. It's insanity

I tried some gun with Subsistence and kept running out of ammo for it no matter what I did so I'm not really sold on it yet. I prefer fast reload perks. Or something like Thorn. Fast reload primary + auto-holster on the other 2 weapons are my optimal loadout.

Subsistence is generally agreed to be worse than not having subsistence. It is the Smooth Bore of hand Cannon perks. Austringer reserves is cut from 117 to 47 shots, and wearing a piece of hand Cannon Reserves only increases it by four bullets if you have subsistence

my pve (lol) austringer is outlaw/rampage to replace my stupid sounding midnight coup

outlaw is just too addictive

here's that pvp austringer I farmed for.

hammer forged / accurized / eye / rangefinder / range mw

basically the best possible pvp roll. full bore would work for the first column as well.

there are a few other options to get you more range on the first column but they cause a drop in stability and handling.

also that shader (maroon moon) along with the ornament makes it look just like eyasluna

Austringer with Smallbore/Accurized/EotS/Rangefinder: good enough to stop there? I'd like to try and pick up a Trust that's better than the vendor roll before the chest gets nerfed, and still haven't gotten a snapshot/quickdraw Beloved yet.

I have almost that same roll (extended barrel instead of smallbore) and I don't feel like I'm hurting that it's not fullbore or hammer-forged rifling. I'm still trying for it though.

Unironically this




Anyway, apparently Heroic Minaj is stoopid easy cakes this week. Instead of double negative modifiers like last week, we get Grenade-ee-urr and Famine. And it's Solar singe instead of the Other Activity Playlist which has Arc.

No word yet if there's a new catalyst or just Izanagi again.

What modes do you like to play and what archetypes of weapons do you like to use?

I'll give you different tips if you like doing Strikes and Raids with Sidearms and Fusions vs if you like to play Crucible with Snipers and Hand Cannons

I am about 50/50 PVE/PVP.

PVE: Outbreak Perfected + what's highest light (i'm 725 and still working my way up).
PVP: I suck with snipers so typically roll Hand Cannons/Pulse Rifles.

Roman

I think it's virtually guaranteed that they'll patch more chests into menagerie. Not next week, but asap. The general feedback has generally been for 3 chests for matchmade, and Heroic with 3 chests plus bonus chests for beating timed encounters.

For PvP, the best archetypes for Hand Cannons are 180rpm (Trust, Service Revolver) with as much Range as you can get. Rangefinder, Accurized Rounds, Masterwork: Range, etc. Austringer (150 from Menagerie) is also decent because Eye of the Storm reduces the "bloom" (RNG bullet placement) that all non-180s have

Best Pulses are either the 450 four-bursts or the 390 adaptives. Lots of stability is key, with range as a very distant second. Anything at all that adds stability, including Zen Moment.

Kill Clip is better than Rampage for Crucible

I'm gonna need like 2 more runes to get another 4 or 5 cracks from one run. Hope that gives me my god roll. I'll be 750 end of this week so won't really need to do menage unless I want to spot increase something.

Also why the gently caress is almost all heavy in need of data lattice and why the gently caress is it so rare for spider to sell it. Like 3 of my armor pieces use it as well. Drives me up the wall.

I like thorn for pve. Never need to reload, half decent for stacking dots on yellow bars and it pairs p nice with recluse for clearing reds and yellows.
