Silly question maybe, but like...how am I supposed to play with a sidearm? Hip fire up close and click the fire button like an addict slamming the morphine button?

Also the button to rev Lament just shows as <?> in the item overview and I have no idea what binding it relates to lmao

My console brain is in remission but it's still a long road :(

It'll be your "block" hotkey in settings. The default is something like C or V, but I've been using Left Alt so long I can't remember.

You probably know from console experience, but I believe the best Lament combo string is still 3 light into heavy, light until charged, 3 light into heavy.

Edit: post below refines that advice.

i just finished the questline yesterday

i want do do all the dungeons (and raids etc.) but am always too lazy to get a group together despite my presence on multiple goon discords

I always ultimately talk myself out of putting up an LFG for content I don't know at all. I did DSC a few weeks back and like half the group was learning it for the first time and the entire time I was wracked with anxiety just thinking "oh god I'm the problem oh god I'm the problem" every time we wiped.

"Need 2 for [dungeon], also you're gonna have to teach me everything and we'll probably wipe a bunch" fills me with great shame

I enjoy playing the game with a melee heavy approach a lot of times and I'm slightly turned off by the ability and resilience nerfs but it's probably not anything i'm going to be incredibly mad about ever, though having access to All The Mods needed for really good 3.0 ability based builds has probably spoiled me more than i would be normally had bungie not just rolled them all out to everyone so i suppose i shouldn't cry that much.

i'd probably prefer a quantity boost rather than a 'quality' boost re: patrol location enemies though, as my complaint with those is usually that "kill x enemy in y location" quest steps are usually suffering for lack of enemies and it becomes an informal game of gambit where 3 or 4 players at a time are competing for not enough enemies to fuel quest completions without being aggravating

Yeah the champ counter changes are all fine and well, y'know, if bungie unfucks how buggy the mobs are in the first place. Totally cool to have this dumbass tacked-on system still around all these years later. Absolutely thrilling content. I joke a lot about dunking balls and standing on plates but Champs are still dumb and will continue to be unless the core issue is fixed.

I don't even know what it takes to get the mod effects to proc. I've got overload on my arms, but when I ADS with an SMG or AR, I don't get the overload round.

If I full auto hipfire I get it, though!

Yeah, it's dumb. "Oh it's this champion, so I have to have this weapon, and activate the mod this way"

I'm glad Titan melees can make short work of overloads and Lament can handle barriers natively.

I was hoping a barrier mod for bows would combine with le monarque for an all-in-one overload/barrier killer but that'd be too fun for the player I guess

Once you know where the 2 alcoves are in each area, just run by and your radar will tell you if anything’s in there. The hardest ones for me where the ones that spawned right out in the open because people instantly melt them. There’s one like near the back of pleasure gardens that gets nuked I think. There are guides too that tell you the specific flavor text to look for in the lower left so you can beeline for the spawns. I’d link something but I’m canposting and I trust your google skills.

Yeah, this. It's good that there are activities in the game you can just jump into in an instant regardless of what you have equipped. Requiring you to craft a custom build for each activity or even for a new week of the same activity would be a mistake

from a completely casual, armchair perspective it kinda feels like they came up with these difficulty changes then finally said, "maybe this necessitates some sort of baked-in load-out manager?"

e: it also very much reminds me a bit of the struggle that goes on between PoE devs and players every few seasons/leagues. The lead dev wants the game to always be challenging and a huge chunk of the recurring player base just wants to go fast and watch big number go bigger, which seem like two wholly incompatible desires.

The Witness just being a guy when the traveler is a gigantic unfathomable orb is kind of unsatisfying to me. It can't really end up as Anime Eyes Guy vs. Giant Orb, can it?

The closer in size a big bad is to the player character, the more dangerous they are. That's basic video game physics
