(and know how to get through it efficiently)

I dont think there was a cheese last week but we used the 'stack same element supers and wait/hope for the phase 3 boss burn' since it was Prism. Almost certainly there will be some weeks with easier modifier combos than others.

I hear though its possible to knock this weeks boss off the platform for the easy win.

playing the game is the reward mang. This isnt a job where X hours of work must equal X rewards OR WHY EVEN PLAY, just grab a beer throw on some music and slam some crucible with friends, or cruise around planets blapping dudes and doing patrols and being a luminous pink moon wizard or whatever.

is it possible to do the prestige nightfall sub-300? Im in the mid 290s and the combination of fast refresh abilities and not having to worry about time boost gimmicks seems like it makes for a decent chance.

It's HM raid month, which means it's time to guess the added mechanics. Here's my guesses:

Gauntlet: additional projection inside the ring which runners must punch


some cabal variation of the moving laser grids to jump through like in the pyramidion strike

I'm using nameless midnight and sunshot right now. What purple energy weapon should I keep an eye out for in case I ever want to use an exotic kinetic weapon? On that note what exotic kinetic weapons should I be going for?

Also what's the best grenade launcher?

MIDA is an easy-to-get freebie exotic kinetic that has defined the crucible meta thus far with its insane aim assist. I think the PvE 3 of choice right now is Nameless Midnight, Uriels Gift, and Merciless in the power slot. Those together give you the utility to smack anything upside the head.

Grenade launchers are mostly terrible. Flash and Thunder gives you flashbangs which can be fun to huck onto a crucible control point and mop up the guys squatting behind a titan barrier. The only real use I've found for Prospector is bomb spam to solo kill the 4 Watcher turrets guarding the conduit chest on the leviathan.

Is this a one-time thing and I'm getting confused with an alt that hasn't cleared the raid once yet? I fully expect to be wrong, because I usually am.

Calus does have a weekly milestone. The raid clear milestone comes back every week, along with the nightfall clear and i think the crucible one as well.

e: also public event flashpoints and clan XP

With time limited armor sets they should do away with the RNG engram entirely and make it so you can choose specific pieces for 30 20? tokens each time. Random weapons and armor pieces can still drop but duplicate IB pieces also dismantle into IB tokens.

give sleeper one of those little targeting lasers on the charge-up like the otherwise functionally identical spartan laser in halo. makes no difference at all to pve, and in pvp youre then aware that you're being aimed at and from which direction, giving you a second or so to either evade or put something solid between you.
