From a lore point of view: FWC, I think. Dead Orbit just want to flee, the Fallen already tried that and don't seems to be working for them. New Monarchy want a Hitler, and I don't think thats a solution to anything.

From a profit point of view: Dead Orbit has a nice scout rifle, and the plagelands are filled with spinmetal, and dead orbit admits spinmetal to raise faction.


So.. Dead Orbit.

I dont think dead orbit wants to flee. Peanut butter throat is far too vocal about fighting for that. I think they want to spread so that humanity isn't in some single bastion waiting to be wiped out.

The new Fr0st-EE5 boots are pretty groovy. The tiny sprint turn radius is great and the melee/grenade regen boost is definitely noticeable. I would guess it increases regen speed by 25%? Maybe more? And since I can sprint non-stop with Jolder's artifact, it's basically always active.

They look pretty rad too. I especially like that they frost up when you run... because you're liquid cooling your feet, I guess?

The probably don't beat Dunemarchers overall, but definitely a solid Hunter exotic for either PvP or PvE.

dumb mother fucker here so apologies in advance.

I thought ___ burn meant that you both take and deal damage of ___ type with a 300% modifier? So, you'd want to be wary of arc enemies but use an arc weapon as much as possible?

Yeah that fellwinters climbing was straight up difficult. And like the first time I said "OMG THIS IS RIDICULOUS" I also realized, this is the most challenging thing I've ever done in a video game in a long time. So it was actually satisfying in a, "wow I finally did it after a lot of effort and it took some skill" rather than "wow I finally did it after grinding for 40 hours".

Bosses drop keys. Rare but not nonexistent. I've gotten 2 aside from the quest reward one. They look like the small white engram things that runes from TTK looked like when they dropped.

Bosses still drop purple engrams though. One I got a yellow, a purple and a key.

Nightfall boss is hard legit and the cheese is actually tricky and stupid anyway because the fight is fun.

For nightfall this week run arc classes up to the boss only. Then warlocks go sunsinger and titans go bubble. Hunters stay arc. There's no add management that can't be done with Zhalo. Try and be 355+. Shanks will gently caress you up.

Sunsinger revives and hunter invisible powers will save you when a dude inevitably gets teleported into by the splicer or nailed by shanks. Pop blessing bubble when the shanks drop.

Use the sepkis strike drop sniper and an arc prox launcher if you got one.

And for the live of god use an arc burn reduction chest you idiots.

It really staggers the boss and is arc. Lol I didn't even know it did extra fallen damage.

Also, anyone looking to fill out their year 3 book can get the "Use It" one filled by intentionally dying in the Archon's Forge & using Splicer Keys to get back in the arena, provided you are sitting on a bunch of splicer keys.

Honestly my only complaint with the story of this dlc is how your Ghost is like " oh yeah splicers are just a thing from fallen houses that we just haven't seen or mentioned ever before, anyway here is an info dump about them, got it?" It would have been better if it was more like, "whoa, what the gently caress are these new creepy fallen dudes?!" and then you spend the rest of the story missions learning about them.

But I guess it's a moot point because I'm just going to keep playing anyway. Dammit Bungie.
