That's the real challenge mode. Can you disable mines solo for 2 rounds while ending up with 100 more kills than the next closest guy?

I get this all the time except in Heroic strikes. One guy got really butthurt when I called him out on only getting 6 kills in the taniks strike.

Same. It's only extreme poopsockers that can have the dps to beat him this week.

This is a good raid that's eventually only gonna take as long as crota on a good day but that's fine because it's actually fun shoot mans and you can use an auto rifle and a shotgun and go pew pew.

Got the shotgun and all the armor but the helmet. Hard raid shader is gonna look so dope on the warlock.

So not only is there no overly complicated platforming, there's no "MUST BRING SPECIFIC WEAPONS OR YOU ARE USELESS" bullshit either? At least Destiny 1 can end on a high note.

It's pretty lenient on you're choice of weapons.

Some weapons will work better on certain encounters though, obviously.

As long as it's not more Gjallarhorn/Touch of Malice/Black Spindle nonsense then it's fine. I don't want to see LFG a month from now and see nothing but "must have OP exotic or gently caress off".

Dunka, Betty and I got 6-0 and fell the gently caress apart. Couple of tough teams early but it ramped right the gently caress up at 6. Lack of map knowledge crushed us.

We fought 3 teams that used a sunsinger with the skorri artifact (one of which also used Tlaloc). Can't say I think it's worth it when stormcaller / voidwalker are both so powerful right now.

We had some easy pickings but when we lost, we LOST. Still, it was fun and I got some better light level armor out of it so I can hardly complain.

It overcomplicates everything to an unnecessary degree. I don't get why Bungie has this hard on for putting 4-5 different puzzle mechanics in one boss fight. They did the same thing with Oryx and right now it's a coin flip on who's worse between him and Aksis.

I wish Y2 and Y3 weapons could come with Y1 sights sometimes. I still think Y1 had the best weapon sights over Y2. But of course once Bungie is done it's an insult to want to go back.

Also, is last weeks Iron Saga gear supposed to just be a non-ornament version of the Days of Iron gear? It just seemed weird to get a new set of gear that looks exactly like the gear set I got earlier on.

The Iron Saga armor is just the Days or Iron armor if you swapped out the fur for chainmail.

For gently caress's sake. I'm on the part of the outbreak Prime quest where you have to enter the five digits into the charged Siva engine, and the loving thing glitches out on me and now I can't get to the next step.

Faster OP quest:

For the stages that ask to patrol poo poo or explore poo poo => Do forge events

For medallons for raid boss kills => monitors room and siege machine and monitors room again

For Nightfall or something activity => enter osiris, lose 3 games by suiciding.

Even taking this route it may need more than 2.5 hours.

If you get stuck in a engine part, you can ask somebody that already did it to buy the engine for that part (I believe 2 of the 3 engines are available to buy in shiro).

For stage 9, theres a internet calculator:

https://2g.be/tools/siva/

Follow the instructions, first value is different for each class, last value is always 730.

OP is a very stable weapon with a DOT'ish feature that make it very good for killing adds and killing boss. Too bad you will run out of ammo if you only uses primaries for everything.

I think I may have hosed myself out of ever reasonably finishing this quest. I finished step 7 last night with LFG puppies and I was too tired to grind three raid bosses so I left the group thinking I could just get the three boss kills with any raid group and do the final number sequence by myself.

monitors seem much tougher and also the layout maybe looks different to me? like some of them seem really big, and can show up right behind/above vosik

That sounds annoying as hell. Doesn't that mean that if one person dies when the bombs drop it's basically an instant wipe?

It's not better. Warlock jumping just requires different button timing to be effectively used and these scrubs just try to use warlock jump as a titan jump and die as a result.

Dear Bungie, please delete Valus Tau'arc and Dust Palace. No one ever liked those stupid bad strikes, and we still don't like the remixed versions. So stop giving a 50% chance of one of them showing up every loving time.

Find the folder those strikes are in, click on it, and press delete. Thanks.

Purge them from backups too, just in case.

Have they ever explained why they don't just have all the strikes in the playlist?
