On the other end of the scale, actually managing to get through a half-hour survival mission (mostly the three who came along with me, it has to be said, thanks for carrying me ;)) is fantastically cathartic.

Question: Just got the Vectis and Obex out of the foundry. Are they worth potatoing or are they just more mastery trash?

There's also the victory message from Arid Fear which they still haven't put on the lore page where Vor pretty much confirms this in a roundabout way (via the lens of "how the gently caress are these guys so advanced, I know, space demons!" whilst actually alluding to what Fish just said). Unfortunately it only showed up right at the end of Arid Fear as part of the UI and hasn't reappeared since, so I can't source it.

If anything they're trying to add more reasons to be stealthy with the codex. You get bonus XP if you scan enemies without them noticing you.

You also unfortunately get more scan info when stealthed too going by that video, so that's going to make things even more fun.

He might be now. Golem dropped his blueprints, and Golem is no longer a permanent boss.

They confirmed in the U11 patch notes that J3-Golem was becoming an alert boss on special infested invasions, and that he still carried Volt parts. So, yes, Volt's just become another alert-only frame. Thank heaven I got to Golem and ground those BPs out first (though if he's still 75 plat, it's not a disaster).

Well, the changes to both sound OK in theory, but I get the feeling that once again it'll all go to pot once it's actually implemented. You'd think Gas would be a more handy damage type for Saryn's powers as it completely dominates both small Infested and Ancients, but ah well...

Regor wears an upsidedown version of the usual helmet mask for some reason.

And then they made a special upside-down fitting helmet for him and his mask that (I believe) they gave to butchers and eviscerators rather than, say, correcting the mask. Not sure whether that says something good about DE's creative process.

I've been having lots of fun with my Nova. To potato him or not is the question...

Personally, I'd say she's absolutely worth a potato. M Prime is still one of the most hilariously broken abilities in the game and DE's shown no interest in nerfing it. Once you get the hang of Antimatter Drop's 'shoot-to-improve-nuke' quirk, it becomes a solid AOE bomb, and Wormhole's got some utility in pretty much every map for skipping the more finickity parkour sections or bailing out of a bad engagement. Null Star's still rubbish, but that can be said of quite a lot of 1 powers in this game.

seiferguy posted:

Also the Soma is super fun. Added a crit chance and crit damage mod and head shots are pretty much insta kills on most enemies now.

It's still one of the most powerful rifles in the game (albeit quite noticeably toned down from before Damage 2.0 due to the impact/punc/slash damage splits). Slap a fire rate mod on there and Serration and it just becomes a death hose.

So the Drakgoon with a Nova's molecular prime is loving hilariously over the top.

I don't even bother to aim when fighting anymore. I just orient my character in the general direction of a group of enemies, hit molecular prime, then click three times and listen to the screams of horror as everything explodes.

I need to see if there's a punch through mod for shotguns. Slotting a catalyst in the thing and that will probably do horrific stuff.

There is, though it's exceptionally rare. Can't remember what it's called off the top of my head, and it costs as much as the rifle penetration mod.

Perhaps it's just me, but I found the Miter to be absolutely not worth it. The bouncing mechanics are janky, the Lanka is a lot easier to spec out for one-shot kill damage, and Bullet Attractor probably won't make it that much better against bosses, or perhaps only a bit better against high-level big targets like Heavies or Ancients (moreover it's mostly Slash, so poor against non-Infested). I really wouldn't.

Generally, yeah. Certainly so in the case of the Furis and Viper, probably in the case of the Lato, and if you really like the Lex, then grab the ak-version of that too.

OK, I had forgotten the Vasto/Akvasto. To be honest, I didn't feel like it was much of a downgrade for the extra firepower, but it is less accurate, so personal preference there.

And if you're going to get a Bronco, you should really get Dual Broncos, for another pair I forgot.

Some resources are just naturally rarer than others in some planets (or full stop), but you've got the right idea; break containers, open lockers and kill people to get at them. You'll know it's a resource pick up when you see a yellow cake-tin like object, grab it and finish the mission and you get the goods (there's also blue cake-tins, but those are clan-research specific resources and not as important for you right now).

The only missions that specifically give out resources as mission completion rewards are alerts that pop up sporadically anywhere on the galaxy map rather than the normal nodes; if you're in need of a certain resource, say in clan chat and I'm sure you'll get a hand on a specific resource alert if it comes up (bearing in mind that access to these alerts is unlocked by going from planet to planet and opening up the nodes as you would an ordinary mission, so sometimes you may have to ask to join someone else's alert run if you can't access it yourself, you'll still get the resource that way).
