E: At the Tower? Daily. If you're referring to Iron Banner, just the four for the week.

Sorry yeah, meant iron banner. That's not too bad then, and should be able to work me way through most of them tomorrow then.

By the way, I think you can pick up the weekly crucible bounty from Shaxx, the crucible vendor in the tower. In the past players had to do a very long crucible quest to unlock it, but that shouldn't be the case anymore. Might as well do it at the same time you're doing the iron banner weeklies, it drops a weapon or an exotic.

Yeah it's basically a guaranteed good roll but never a great one.

That's all the IB guns tbqh but they hosed up with the Clever Dragon being able to roll braced frame and high caliber rounds (pronounced "rownd-es") and accidentally made it really easy to get the top gun in the meta (save for the super sweaty HC krew).

The Silvered Dread can roll Linear Comp + Field Scout + Rangefinder. It's not hard to get 6-8 kills out of that.

It's not going to win you any 1s better than the Zombie and Barons or Bonekrusher/Bane of the Taken, it just has more bullets.

Don't get me wrong I have one with comp, PB, FS and RF and it's really good and will murder tard squads in 6s. But my Zombie can map guys in a way it can't and kill just as quickly, and you can get a bonekrusher that's range capped at 52 even with soft ballistics (ridiculous AA boost), with take a knee, rifled barrel and CB/CC/RF/HH. That's a murder machine. Don't sleep on an Unending Deluge, either. Tons of bullets.

The Dread is a unique playstyle that trades range and AA for lots of bullets, but you can still get outshot. No pulse can outshoot an HCR Dragon.

My favorite MG right now is my Linear Comp, EoTS, Rifled, RF Unending Deluge. It absolutely melts people and the effective range is ridiculous. Those 4 shot kills with a Silvered Dread don't work the instant there's any damage falloff, which you see a lot. This thing doesn't have issues with damage falloff. It's a y3 Corrective Measure but rangier.



This thing is also a monster. I want this roll with Take a Knee in the first "pick one of two" so badly.

Yeah, my Silvered is Linear / Hammer Forged / Field Scout / Rangefinder and its range is 43. And what is the RF buff, like 10% or something? That puts it at 47. It maps plenty fine but you're right, the ammo capacity is pretty much the sole allure for me.

E: The AA trade-off you speak of seems wrong. Mine lists 51, a lot higher than either mg you posted.

I have a CB, Rifled, Persistence Deluge and it's my favorite LMG in any activity except sloppy 6's where I'll just use a field scout Dread like everyone else.

I'm definitely not equating the power level of a TSD to that of an HCR CD. I'm dumb but I'm not that dumb. I just wouldn't shard a Field Scout Dread since it will very easily give you huge sprees in 6s.

I really want a Bonekruscher with a range perk. Those things loving wreck. I think I've only had one drop since RoI shipped.

Snapshot drops a lot but I think Quickdraw or Single Point Sling is worth hunting. I just don't see Snapshot having much use as the ADS is already decent and you really never need it faster given the charge time.

Also, Rangefinder in the final column tho I've really come to appreciate Life Support there. Vigil will leave you open for a moment in a lot of exchanges, longer than most fusions, so the opportunities for healing to proc are plenty, and it leaves you in a far better place if there's anyone else at all descending on you.

Should have paid more attention and tried to sync drop it when we were rolling with 6. Although likely we wouldn't have been matched because her average team elo was like 1000 vs our 1400.

Bummer :smith: Rifled Barrel is necessary there as it trades range for reload speed whereas Reinforced Barrel drops the stability, which really cannot take a hit.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So what do you do with your emblems once your light level exceeds the gear you can buy from vendors (350)?

xzzy

You mean marks? I generally buy resources from the vanguard robot in the hangar. If I don't need any for upgrades (ie, got more than 200 materials) I dump them into a faction for reputation.

Other than that, buy IB armor from the vendor because it's all really high rolls for the stats.
