[ancient temple]

I got a hunter cosmetic set, but it wont let me put it on. Why cant I use it

[waxen ibex]

with the new ammo gen system i have not struggled with ammo once ngl

[tulip oar]

Did you open the box in the Inventory tab?

[cerulean sail]

are you wearing legendary armor? (purple background)

[waxen ibex]

the star wars ornaments are bugged rn if you're talking about the year of prophecy ultimate edition stuff

fixed on tuesday

[ancient temple]

I did not, thank you sir

[tepid yew]

Already fixed

[paper reef]

ofc they fixed an ornament issue

[waxen ibex]

oh i misremembered

i thought they said it was upcoming but it was fixed last tuesday nvm

[marsh whale]

Do people not text the chat in this game, I keep getting stuck at the prison puzzle in warlords ruin because no one talks and we all just do random turning untill we finally get it 30 mins later bruh

[timid roost]

Anyone know why the third blight didn't spawn?

[timid roost]

A lot of people don't text chat

[tepid yew]

Lot of console players without easy access to text chat

[paper reef]

i hate ppl that dont use text chat

its so easy

[timid roost]

It takes a bit💔

[paper reef]

i have a keyboard plugged into my xbox so im fine

[tranquil locust]

ok so do I have to do shadowkeep story on 2nd and 3rd characters to unlock pit of heresy?

[timid roost]

Nah just on 1

[paper reef]

yes

[timid roost]

Unless you want access on other two

[ornate halo]

on those characters yes

[timid roost]

Yeah

[tranquil locust]

ugh, thats annoying, just got back in since beyond light, is any other content locked like that or just pit

[timid roost]

Well most dungeons require some chores before you access them

[timid roost]

(I also still need answers)

[tranquil locust]

with the changes with starting again after edge of fate I feel like an 80 year old trying to use an ipad

[cerulean sail]

enjoying the Netflix menu?

[tranquil locust]

I hate that you are so right

[timid roost]

please help me I need BB cattie

[solar jasper]

Exotic Catalysts

Catalysts are unique permanent upgrades for specific exotic weapons. Depending on when the catalyst was introduced, it may be as minor as a stat boost or as meaningful as a brand new feature of the weapon. Please note that acquiring catalysts is often very RNG-dependent or attached to an otherwise very grindy process.

Click here for a spreadsheet with a list of all exotic weapons, whether they have a catalyst, and how to get it if they do.

[tulip oar]

1. Did you do all of the other BB cat steps on this run (no checkpoints, no orbiting, etc.)
2. Have you fully completed the In the Shadow of the Mountain quest?

[fathom marten]

I should probably add links to guides for how to actually get stuff on the spreadsheet

[paper reef]

it would lowkey help if this spreadsheet said what the catalysts do

[timid roost]

I have fully completed the quest and...I have to do it all in 1 run...?

Because I was kicked to orbit...

[paper reef]

also the cropping for a few tabs are slightly off

[tulip oar]

Virtually all other dungeon/raid quests like this need to be done in one go, and if you completed the quest, then the most likely cause is orbiting

[timid roost]

... I need to run the dungeon again-?

[tulip oar]

Well, the alternative would you being locked out forever, so yes.

[timid roost]

I think I can backtrack

[tulip oar]

I mean, you can certainly try, but there's no guarantee the earlier steps are able to be triggered beacause you started at a checkpoint past them

[paper reef]

just find a quick lfg team should be less than an hour with current bugs

[fathom marten]

Again, this is one that I run. If you find an issue with it or have a suggestion, please just tell me. What about the spacing is off?

[paper reef]

oh i didnt realise mb

one sec

[fathom marten]

As for listing what they do, I decided against that because Compendium will already tell you

[paper reef]

the catalyst objective box isnt correct for a few weapons

nechrochasm

ergo sum

buried bloodline

[fathom marten]

What should they read?

[timid roost]

... y'wanna join me please

[paper reef]

no they are like cropped wrong lemme screenshot

its cut off weirdly

[paper reef]

unfortunately im in bed rn :(

[fathom marten]

This is what I see on my end. Can easily be fixed though

[paper reef]

might just be cos of mobile then i guess

[timid roost]

Aww

[fathom marten]

Did me shrinking the font size work?

[paper reef]

yea much better now

[tame hornet]

how do I get quick fang?

[fathom marten]

Gamble at Xur's Strange Engram

Roughly 1/200 chance for each engram individually

[tame hornet]

are there any other lightweight swords?

[fathom marten]

None that work for the bug

The only two are Quickfang and Goldtusk

Goldtusk is unobtainable but Quickfang is, from either Collections or Xur

Ergo Sum can potentially roll with a lightweight frame, but it does not have the same animations as Quickfang or Goldtusk, which we believe is the reason why it doesn't work

[spark widget]

Hi guardians, newbie question. to unlock expansion specific exotics, do I have to play the missions in legendary which guarantees them at the end, or RNG works after running through with normal difficulty? thanks

[tulip oar]

Exotic armor introduced with or after Beyond Light cannot be acquired simply by opening exotic engrams

[twin peak]

exotic armor?

[marsh herald]

does wearing ib gear still matter?

Acquiring Exotics Introduced With/After Beyond Light

For the The Final Shape exotics, your choices are:

• Legendary Campaign clear (if applicable)
• Rahool (after maxing rep to unlock Novel Decryption)

For pre-The Final Shape exotics your choices are:

• Legendary Campaign clear (if applicable)
• Rahool (after maxing rep to unlock Novel Decryption)
• Vex Strike Force

How to Max Rahool's Rep

Opening and focusing Prime and Exotic engrams gains you reputation at Rahool. Focusing exotic engrams grants more reputation.

Command triggered by fishfacemcgee. Message link from · Jun 19, 2024, 5:25 PM

[twin peak]

there it is

[tulip oar]

There's a modifier for it, but it doesn't seem to work (at least definitely not w/ ornaments)

[spark widget]

iI see. thanks! so max rahool rep seems to be the way to go for me as it gives me more time to do different things which would naturally increase rahool rep along the way.

[tulip oar]

Ah, that guide is actually outdated now I need to fix that

Rahool rep is no longer required

Novel Decryption is available for all without any rep grinding

Also, Novel Decryption is not an option for the Edge of Fate exotics. For those, your choices are Legendary Campaign or The Sieve (activity unlocked upon campaign completion, regardless of difficulty)

[ancient temple]

Why cant I start this campaign? Having same problem with two other campaigns

[tulip oar]

The ability to launch quest-related missions from the quest page is fairly new in the grand scheme of D2, so it's inconsistent with what quests support it. In cases where it doesn't work, you'll need to do what it says

In the case of Beyond Light, that means selecting the Europa map and then launching the Darkness's Doorstep mission from its icon on the map

[ancient temple]

Okay thanks, will do

[waxen ibex]

the legacy crucible nodes in the world tab are also dropping y1 world drops including the y1 class swords rn

it's not extremely common but a lot of people have gotten a quickfang that way rn

[fathom marten]

They are not

Xur is the only option

If you did not get Quickfang during Red War

[cerulean sail]

or if you missed out on the goldtusk pattern

[waxen ibex]

i dont know where you get off just making shit up but they are clearly dropping the original y1 world loot pool which included all 3 of the class swords regardless of class

[native wadi]

Does anyone know if ergo sum is doing the broken amount of sword damage

[waxen ibex]

no it is not

[cerulean sail]

it is not

[waxen ibex]

ergo sum has its own set of attack scalars because it uses a different ammo type

[fathom marten]

I'm going to tell you what Curltoes said and say I still don't believe it.

[native wadi]

Is there any easy to get lightweight frames

[fathom marten]

Xur

Collections

Take your pick

[native wadi]

That’s not easy I’ve spent 400 strange coins this weekend

[fathom marten]

Rip

"Apparently" it drops from mayhem but I don't believe it in the slightest

[waxen ibex]

your only options are a very rare drop of the s14 splicer version of quickfang from xur engrams or a rare drop of the season 1 quickfang from anything bugged to have the y1 world loot pool right now like old crucible playlists

if you dont have the y1 one in collections

[sudden egret]

Even if it drops from mayhem, the odds seem better at xur. I’ve known a few people getting it from xur.

Even I’ve gotten it from xur

[native wadi]

Xur is apparently being racist toward me and not dropping it

[covert ivy]

What is the most efficient way to complete Xenology (Xur quest) each week?

[sudden egret]

No, that’s how rng works

[native wadi]

So run mayhem to get strange coins and hope I might get the sword drop and then spend the strange coins at Xur and hope he drops the sword

[native wadi]

It is when your Australian

[waxen ibex]

if xur is actually truly random (i got the same weapon 14 times in 200 rolls and his rng has always been messed up, like exotic class items purchased too close together often have the same perks) the xur engram is 1/257

the y1 world loot pool's class swords were fairly uncommon as well but i would bet better odds than xur still

[sudden egret]

Shall I find Australians that have won at xur

[nova cargo]

idk if this is a bug or not but when i select master warlords ruin from the portal and select legacy gear (old dungeon gear) the enemies do a tone more damage but when i select portal gear for some reason they do less damage is this a bug? or intended

[native wadi]

No because Australia doesn’t exist so there can’t be any Australian

And I’m just a cia spy

Sent to make u think Australia is real

[spice goblet]

Someone knows how i get that gun?

[marsh whale]

Wait so, even if I have completed warlord ruin quest, I still need light fall dungeon key to get the exotic engram ? Bruh I just wasted all that time for nothing

[spice goblet]

Doomed Petition

[waxen ibex]

the strange coins from mayhem will be kinda ass

that drop of 1 coin is with triple xur buff

[native wadi]

What’s best way to farm them

[waxen ibex]

portal

i dont know if non-portal stuff has the coin drops properly increased rn

i was getting like 5 coins an iron banner game

[covert ivy]

What is the most efficient way to complete Xenology (Xur quest) each week?

I played a lot of iron banner in the portal but didn't get any progress in it even though it is a portal activity.

[waxen ibex]

xenology requires a b grade or higher and crucible reward grades can be really scuffed when you dont have your valor rank maxed out yet

[native wadi]

Well guess I’m going to go play iron banner and remember why I hate destiny pvp

[waxen ibex]

even at maxed valor rank i see c+ on loss occasionally if i barely did anything

since the score estimate for crucible doesnt mean anything

[native wadi]

Iron banner players are worse then trials players somehow

[waxen ibex]

solo ops would probably be more consistent

[uneven plaza]

what do you do when you hit power cap? i see some people listed as having over 200 light level.

so not sure what I do.

[fiery locust]

What is the current weekly raid

[waxen ibex]

200 is only the non-seasonal power cap

power cap is 550 right now

[covert ivy]

Got it. Thanks.

[waxen ibex]

everyone will be dropped to 200 in renegades again

[uneven plaza]

how do i get it? not sure how you do that.

[fathom marten]

Desert Perpetual

[waxen ibex]

portal is the only way to gain seasonal power

[fiery locust]

Aw man

Still waiting for ron

[fathom marten]

Until Tuesday and then it's every raid

[waxen ibex]

like by just playing i get +3 drops from account power in crucible portal stuff at an A rank

+2 at b+ +1 at b

the curve is faster at lower power as well i think

idk how much it has changed since the updates

[tribal pagoda]

Fastest method to level atm?

[uneven plaza]

how do you get spoils of conquest?

[spice goblet]

Thanks i just checket Sadly this week is Doomed not in its Rotation

[fiery locust]

Raid

[covert ivy]

I got a crossbow heavy weapon as a drop. My friend says it is very rare. Is that true? I wanna know if i should feel lucky or not

[spice goblet]

the one for 7 coins?

[waxen ibex]

season of the wish weapons were actually not added to xur pool for some reason btw lol

[spice goblet]

UFFFF Sooo heaavvillyyy on Luck....

[waxen ibex]

they're not related to any vendors in the api right now

so the only source is starcrossed in rotator which will be up next week

[rancid fern]

Guess I forgot which season it was from.

[waxen ibex]

you would've been actually very right normally and it should be in xur pool or banshee pool but for some reason they just didnt

yet heresy weapons are in banshee/xur

and older stuff is

[rancid fern]

People are saying Wish weapons are not in the pool for some reason. Sorry, I thought it was from echoes.

[raw nova]

Excision is going to waste my sanity. I Code: Guitar the first time I finally got in, then the second time I managed to get in, I got Weaseled AFTER I beat The Witness. I’ve been in this for an eternity. Starting to feel like Xur

[torpid charm]

How do you get vexcalibur from the exotic mission?

[waxen ibex]

you need over 10k score

[torpid charm]

We got an A?

[waxen ibex]

should guarantee the drop for the exotic and the intrinsics/catalysts if you already have the exotic

[torpid charm]

Around 300k

[waxen ibex]

oh does avalon score differently to the other exotic missions

[torpid charm]

We did it on grandmaster

[tulip oar]

10K being the score in the corner as you clear it. Not the final score w/ all the multipliers

[torpid charm]

I assumed it was going to be like encore

[waxen ibex]

i mean 10k in the bottom right

not the final score after time bonus etc

[torpid charm]

Ohhhh

Alright thanks

[tulip oar]

That said, fairly certain it'd be impossible to get an A w/o 10K, though

[waxen ibex]

i mean

[torpid charm]

lol yeah

[waxen ibex]

the b+ turning into A thing is time bonus

so like 9500 could be an A with time bonus iirc

as long as the bar in the bottom right is maxed out though my experience has been that the drops are guaranteed

both with catching up on my own stuff and running friends through it who never got them

[lone lotus]

Is there a way for me to get Dead Mans Tale right know?

[nocturne temple]

does arc soul apply jolt if you use the fragment that makes grenades jolt? or does it only count as grenade for the damage over 100 stat

[cerulean sail]

warlock buddies don't count as grenades just yet

[nocturne temple]

ah damn thought that was alread added

[cerulean sail]

it's coming on October 7

[nova cargo]

is there any activity that can drop a lightweight sword, i dont have a craftable one or a normal one

i kinda want in on the fun lol

[cerulean sail]

you can get one from Xûr's strange weapon engram if you're lucky

[blissful sable]

Is there a rocket sidearm in the kinetic/strand/stasis slot?

[charred niche]

The Call or Tinasha's Mastery

[cerulean sail]

tinasha's mastery from iron banner and "the call" from the final shape

[loud lotus]

How do i get to rift for guardian rank 9 mission?

[tame hornet]

Are there any books based on d2?

[fathom marten]

There's the Grimoires which are stories in-universe

The Cookbook

[tame hornet]

I have the cookbook

[fathom marten]

But nothing based upon it comes to mind except fanfiction

[tame hornet]

Ah rip

[fathom marten]

I do recommend the grimoire anthologies though if you want a physical book to read through. Probably the closest you'll get until Bungie decides to license the game to an author

[fathom marten]

The Crucible gamemode?

[torpid charm]

In presage I just got 10.800 score and i didnt get dmt? Maybe js a bug

[hoary hedge]

Is there a limit to how much Strange coins you can farm from portal activities?

[charred niche]

stacks to 199

[fathom marten]

There's a limit to how many you can carry at 199

[hoary hedge]

But not a limit to how many I can get after using them to down it right?

[fathom marten]

The only limit is how many you can hold

[hoary hedge]

Good to know

[pulsar hemlock]

how do i get iron banner emblems

[waxen ibex]

are you over 450 power by chance

[fathom marten]

Only a few are available

[torpid charm]

Nooo

[waxen ibex]

i know loot was really broken for people over 450 a few weeks ago

they fixed a lot of it but the venn diagram for people missing an exotic mission exotic and people grinding power cap is

probably really small

[fathom marten]

The Golden Standard is obtained by earning any Iron Banner gold metal and redeeming the associated Triumph. Intergalactic Wisdom is earned from Iron Banner Rank 5.

[waxen ibex]

also are you in a fireteam

it's really hard to tell what might be the issue here

[torpid charm]

Yes I was in a fireteam

[torpid charm]

Yeah I’m just clueless rn

I need vexcalibur for a build I’m making

[waxen ibex]

if running it solo and getting an A rank doesnt do it uhh

i have no clue

i've gotten the drops in a group before but i did have issues with drops in a group too

[torpid charm]

I don’t think I’m good enough for a solo A rank😭

[pulsar hemlock]

so just get gold medals and talk to saladin?

[fathom marten]

Yep

[waxen ibex]

the skill enhancer says otherwise

also encore is extremely quickfangable

[torpid charm]

Do I have to do it in the exotic missions tan

[waxen ibex]

oh wait i forgot that

avalon is in the rotator this week lmao

[torpid charm]

I’m doing it in pinnacle ops

[waxen ibex]

you could try running actual old avalon maybe?

pinnacle ops should drop it but the drops can be inconsistent if in a fireteam in my experience

[torpid charm]

Alright I’ll come back afterwards

[waxen ibex]

solo A rank should definitely give it but idk

i did run encore earlier with a friend and he got choir but i didnt get my last catalyst

so i think something is weird with fireteams

[ancient temple]

What armor is this?

[waxen ibex]

2021 solstice i think

[ancient temple]

Is there any way to get it now?

[pulsar hemlock]

wait next summer

[waxen ibex]

you can buy the old solstice sets during solstice

[pulsar hemlock]

they will sell it

[waxen ibex]

so next summer

[pulsar hemlock]

but all he sells is legacy guns and armor

[fathom marten]

The rank in the portal

It got moved there

[waxen ibex]

the event rewards track

[fathom marten]

https://destinyemblemcollector.com/emblem?id=2565108499

https://destinyemblemcollector.com/emblem?id=1162929425

[pulsar hemlock]

so all i can get is these two? what about the rest of the emblems in the collections?

[fathom marten]

Not a chance. They're mostly seasonal based

[waxen ibex]

there's usually an iron banner emblem per season that gets swapped out every run so that's over 20 of them

[fathom marten]

23, I think

DEC lists 24 but one of them isn't actually Iron Banner

[pulsar hemlock]

so when does iron banner come, every year?

[fathom marten]

Every once in a while

Whenever Bungie decides really

[waxen ibex]

when they feel like it, usually 2-3 times a season

[fathom marten]

I think it appears about twice a season

[pulsar hemlock]

guys i got a gold medal i claimed it but it didnt give me a banner

[fathom marten]

But no new emblems until a new season starts unless something like The Wolves Unleashed or Laser Tag Weekend happen again

Was it an Iron Banner medal?

[pulsar hemlock]

oh thats good, i thought once every blue moon lol

[fathom marten]

Was it an Iron Banner medal?

[pulsar hemlock]

yes

[fathom marten]

Which one?

[waxen ibex]

has to be one of "One Fell Swoop," "Seven Deadly," "Warlord," "Usurper," "Fifth Horseman," "Iron Legend," and "Ghost Wolf."

there are other golds that dont count

[pulsar hemlock]

[waxen ibex]

they're all a pain to get rn, especially with the scout meta

iron legend kind of the only realistic one to get maybe

[fathom marten]

The other one is probably easier to get: Rank 5 in the portal

[waxen ibex]

i guess ghost wolf is doable with the scout camping meta too

if you just abuse PI rapid scouts to kill people before they even react to you shooting at them

kinda luck based tho

[pulsar hemlock]

whats the meta exactly

stand still with a scout ?

and also everytime iron banner comes back is there new armor sets

[fathom marten]

Typically

[pulsar hemlock]

fantastic

also, should i keep buying crimil until i get a god roll or not worth it

[sturdy arrow]

can somone help me do the exotic quest for the class extotic item in final shape dual destiny maybe someone who already completed it failed the last 5,6 runs and made it only to the room with the light beams

[sudden egret]

If you want a good 120, yeah

[hard mountain]

Keep going

[woven tree]

whats the way to farm border for neomuna weapon in the current state

[hollow cradle]

What rolls am I looking for in mida mini tool? Pve and PvP

[torpid charm]

I just had to do the mission in the exotic tab

Like the legends tan

Tan

Tab

[woven tree]

pve - Orb/healclip, Incandescent

[waxen ibex]

yeah that should always work but that also wont be here next week and the portal should also work

[charred niche]

i believe the weekly mission and then terminal overload

[waxen ibex]

im not sure why portal wasnt dropping it for you so im still curious if solo A rank would solve that

i think portal is the only source of the upgraded intrinsics and catalysts anyway since they made all the old secrets and chests in any of the portal exotic missions not do anything even if it's in the legends tab too

[charred niche]

You can do the exotic mission in the exotic rotator tab (not portal) at higher difficulties for upgraded intrinsics.

They drop as an end of mission reward

[sour oriole]

What stats are best to go for with the new armor system? Im assuming super, health and weapons?

[waxen ibex]

health is a dead stat in pve

[charred niche]

health is bad. Every other stat depends on your build

[waxen ibex]

actually, are you talking pve or pvp

i should clarify that

[sour oriole]

Daaaaamn. Alr

I meant in general but mostly pve

[waxen ibex]

in pve super stat is very much the meta in most cases rn (for raiding)

with weapon stat secondary

it depends exactly what you're doing but health is definitely a dead stat

rest is build-specific

just an example with melee stat

[sour oriole]

Bet, ty for the info. Been gone since heresy all the new stuffs kinda overwhelming lol

[waxen ibex]

0-100 melee heavily affect melee regen, especially from anything that returns melee energy like gamblers dodge

while over 100 melee gives up to a 30% melee damage buff at 200

grenade works the same way but the damage buff caps at 65% at 200

super as well but the super damage buff is 45%

[charred niche]

Worth noting that the 30% melee damage is multiplicative. All(?) other sources of melee damage are additive.

[waxen ibex]

class ability gives an overshield over 100 maxing at an 80 hp overshield

[unreal cedar]

is sturn still bugged?

[waxen ibex]

weapons stat 0-100 gives a handling and reload speed animation multiplier and extra damage to non-boss enemies with weapons, 101-200 gives extra ammo from ammo bricks and extra damage to bosses and players

[charred niche]

yes, keep having fun with it

[unreal cedar]

how does it work again? just buffs all ability damage right?

[waxen ibex]

it's pretty overwhelming but it has made builds leaning into one specific thing much much stronger

[charred niche]

get at least 1 stack of the sturm buff and just hold it out while you're chucking abiliites.

[sour oriole]

For the ol reliable strand syntho build melee super and weapons?

[waxen ibex]

if you're grapple punching it scales off of both melee and grenade

if you're wishful ignorance spamming you would probably want at least melee, super wouldn't be mandatory since strand super isnt used super often against bosses but it depends

[sour oriole]

Or maybe grenade

Ah

So melee grenade and the third stats up to me

[waxen ibex]

stats do affect the cooldowns of your abilities a ton too so you may not want to hyper-specialize

like honestly the class ability overshield is not that useful but you may want rally barricade cooldown for example

lots of options which is nice with this system

[sour oriole]

Yeah, seems like theres no right answer lol

[charred niche]

70 stat is equivalent to old t10 stat cooldowns as well

[waxen ibex]

i mean the right answer for raid dps rn is 200 super + tcrash

[sour oriole]

It’ll be nice to experiment honestly, this is giving me more incentive to play at least

[waxen ibex]

well

is supposed to be

they bugged it again and grenade/melee are across the board regenerating slower than intended

[charred niche]

its like they're fighting against their own code. fixing it one week and then its off again the next

[waxen ibex]

oh also a lot of exotics and such scale their ability charge gains off the stat too

[sour oriole]

Wym?

[waxen ibex]

wishful ignorance for example gives a base 5% melee energy per ally in your banner pulses but i believe 100 melee gives nearly double that

[sour oriole]

Oh damn

[waxen ibex]

some exotics still give flat amounts but most got changed to scale off the cooldown boost

[sour oriole]

I might have to visit some old twabs…theres probably been alot of changes since heresy

[waxen ibex]

bakris for example needs 70 melee for a dodge reset after 2 kills

that's the main example i can think of off the top of my head

[sour oriole]

Makes sense

[waxen ibex]

there has been a ton of changes so it's really hard to keep track tbh

200 melee giving a giant melee buff made most titan melee builds like blatantly busted tho

shoulder charge oneshots in pvp again at like 157

also titan isnt even the top grapple puncher now now that melee buffs dont stack multiplicatively

hunter does nearly double because of facet of courage xd

[woven tree]

weekly doesnt drop

[waxen ibex]

terminal overload also drops different weapons

red border farming is just heroic public events ever since they gutted the gold patrols

iirc

[woven tree]

heroic public event huh

hmm

ight

[waxen ibex]

lightfall campaign also guarantees a bunch of red borders

[charred niche]

oh, maybe i was just lucky with weekly legend mission. sorry

[waxen ibex]

so you should be at 3/5 on like all of them

unless you spent silver to skip

[waxen ibex]

weekly story mission used to have a guaranteed red border

but that was tied to the pinnacle challenge they removed

[waxen ibex]

heroic pubs and if there's none up load up liming harbor and look for the gold patrols

all you can really do rn after getting the 3 of each red borders from campaign

[woven tree]

ok ty

[small sentinel]

Is there a portal mission that takes a part from the root of nightmares raid?

Thank you

[desert warren]

im using the veritys brow grenade build but i dont have dead messenger, any substitutes?

[loud lotus]

What’s the rift for week two seasonal challenge?

[torpid charm]

Are there any perks for melee regeneration?

[torpid charm]

I use choir of one

[desert warren]

dont have that either

[torpid charm]

Just use a void weapon that can ad clear

[desert warren]

im at a weapon deficit bro, i have graviton lance tho is that good?

[desert warren]

[fathom marten]

Encore in the portal

It's free

Everything in the portal is free

[fathom marten]

Rift is a Crucible gamemode

[small sentinel]

I noticed a lost ghost in the enclave, why can’t I pick it up? I found one on the moon, and completed every campaign.

[cerulean sail]

it's for one of Micah-10's quests

[small sentinel]

I completed all of the lost in the dark quests.

Is it linked to her bounties?

I don’t have access to strikes, so I can’t complete those.

[cerulean sail]

i don't remember which one it's for but iirc it just stays there

[fathom marten]

It was supposed to disappear and then it just... never did

[sage gust]

has anyone actually gotten this emblem from the Renegades stream?

[small sentinel]

Either way, thank you

[sage gust]

i claimed it and still don't have it

[cerulean sail]

yes

[round zodiac]

Someone mind helping me decide between hunter or warlock. I’ve been a stasis fan for the longest time but Ik when it comes to best stasis builds it’s either for hunter or warlock I recently had to remake my acc. I don’t feel like redoing the stasis campaign twice so I wanna pick the best class for stasis (I’m more of a big pve player btw)

[marsh herald]

does hi cal rounds still do anything for pvp? i think i heard it causes more flinch?

[tight widget]

Stronghold > was B to revert changes made, or did they simply scrap plan for additional changes?

[sudden egret]

it does some, depends on weapon type

[sudden egret]

most choose stasis hunter to shatterskate and go fast, warlock stasis is more for ad control

[sudden egret]

they scrapped changing it

[marsh herald]

for this particular question, smg

[sudden egret]

not much

[marsh herald]

also has anyone noted that the sun apex cloak is glitched? half of it is missing, wasn't sure if it was mentioned or not

[round zodiac]

So which do you recommend I wanna start playing the game again but don’t have a ton of time to play so def can’t do both can only choose one or the other

[sudden egret]

do you like to go fast?

or do you care about ad control

that's what it comes down to if you insist on sticking with stasis

[round zodiac]

I like to freeze everything ig? And kill things pretty fast

[high lily]

Do you care about being useless or useful

[high lily]

Warlock then

[round zodiac]

Alr ty

I just want one that will freeze everything and help out team a lot

[sudden egret]

just fyi, prismatic does stasis better

[high lily]

Specifically with Rimecoat ^^^

[round zodiac]

I haven’t played in years tbh so haven’t looked into new abilities n stuff they added

I just want to be able to crowd control everything

[sudden egret]

yep, prismatic warlock can do that

[round zodiac]

With prismatic will I be able to keep the same super or would it be a diff one?

[sudden egret]

it has one super from each subclass so since stasis only has one super, you can choose that one

[leaden mantle]

Hi im lf help with Requiem quest on the final shape campaign

[turbid sorrel]

crazy people still dont know this

[hearty owl]

What’s the best way to get the cracked shards

[tough zinc]

Is bounty useful now?

[fringe monolith]

are all raids farmable for the raid exotic now since they gutted weekly featured raids?

[turbid sorrel]

in a future update

they will be

[fringe monolith]

damn

[rose geode]

Hello! Question, why do some guardians have helmets on in the tower? Can we do that also? My helmet is off whenever I’m in the tower

[turbid talon]

It's an option in the settings.

[rose geode]

Ok saw it thank you!!

[hearty owl]

Are any guns from garden good

[turbid sorrel]

are u pve or pvp

[hearty owl]

Pve

I got the bow with archers tempo and kinetic tremours

[turbid sorrel]

auto, hc, sniper

bow is fine but legendary bows arent in a good spot rn

[hearty owl]

Yea it feels meh

I suppose I’ll keep it for now

What weapon do you get from sals end

[high lily]

the sniper, sword, the bow is probably the best bow in the game

the smg

[hearty owl]

How about the pulse rifle

[high lily]

oh Nullify

yea thats great

Firefly + Chaos Reshaped is awesome

[hearty owl]

Alr thx

[turbid sorrel]

most of SE guns are good

[hearty owl]

The smg is strand?

[high lily]

yea

[kindred zodiac]

guys whats the fastest way to get strand meditations?

[rancid fern]

Grab the Vex Incursion Countermeasures bounty from nimbus. Then obtain the polymorphic engine, this will give access to a 10 minute activity that gives 250 strand meditations per run.

[rancid fern]

You mean unstable cores?

[hearty owl]

Yea

[high lily]

dismantling stuff over 200 power

majority of drops are terrible anyway, unless theyre higher power ofc

so 95% of drops should be getting dismantled

[hearty owl]

Are any of crotas guns good

Can crota even drop the pulse rifle

[high lily]

the pulse and hc are decent

[high lily]

there are loot tables pinned in #📘pve-playbook

[main yew]

Just reached power 100. What do i do now

[high lily]

keep farming power

but youre also high enough power to access raids, which i dont recommend assuming youre a new player

[lone lotus]

Does Dead Mans Tale drop from presage right now? Because i cant seem to get it and i dont know if i am doing something wrong.

[main yew]

yes i am a new player

off to the mines we go

[waxen ibex]

exotic missions in pinnacle ops require an A rank completion to drop the exotic

if you are in a fireteam it can also be buggy

[lone lotus]

i just did it solo on master and got an A but no drop

[waxen ibex]

was it an A rank before or after time bonus

[wise slate]

so i saw a few articles claiming they were going to remove time gating, is power level still hard locked behind weeklies and such?

[lone lotus]

How can i tell what the rating is before the time bonus?

[waxen ibex]

bottom right of screen

if you're over 10k points it should be an A

[hearty owl]

What’s the best stuff to put on the wish keeper

[waxen ibex]

also just the score estimate before you run it

[lone lotus]

i had exactly 10k points if i remember correctly

[waxen ibex]

like did you do the b+ thing vs actually a

[lone lotus]

i added modifiers to put it to A before the mission. Should i try it with B+ again?

[daring coral]

can someone tell me why after more than 20+ of control matches i still can't get the last armor piece?!!!
it's delivering me insane

[waxen ibex]

no

[green vortex]

is xur the only way to get igneous hammer nowadays?

[waxen ibex]

im not really sure why it didnt drop but there have been a lot of reports of inconsistent drops

nobody really knows the exact criteria

dmt and its intrinsics/catalysts definitely do drop though

exotic + intrinsics should drop on any difficulty afaik and ive seen that catalysts might be gated to expert+, a+ score should guarantee the drop

so like

i guess try speedrunning it on expert maybe?

[paper reef]

presage is bugged rn

it doesnt drop

presage and avalon

[waxen ibex]

i just had it drop 3 days ago for a friend

and avalon worked today for that friend

they do work

[lone lotus]

Im starting to go insane over this

[paper reef]

maybe they are just rare then

[lone lotus]

But hearing that it DOES work is good

[paper reef]

ngl wait for it to come back to the rotator in the legends tab

[waxen ibex]

portal exotic drops have been super all over the place so i have no clue honestly

[paper reef]

just wait a couple weeks

not rlly missing out on much

[waxen ibex]

more than a couple weeks

oh nvm i cant count

i forgot whisper and zero hour arent in rotator now

[daring coral]

I HATE BUNGIE

[waxen ibex]

3 weeks i guess

[lone lotus]

i did speedrun it a bunch of times but still out of luck

also tried fireteam finder on grandmaster and got an A with a squad

[waxen ibex]

the drops might also be bugged for people who played around when said missions were available is what ive seen

idk there's not really any definite answer for now

from my experience every single run my friend has gotten the weapon and then subsequent catalyst/intrinsic drops on each run until they had all of them

except for a period where we ran starcrossed 8x and he didnt get the bow

next day 0 changes worked as expected

honestly no idea

[hearty owl]

What’s the best glaive

[waxen ibex]

for what purpose

rake angle is arguably the best glaive overall rn

pve-wise

[lone lotus]

Yeah i guess so. Ill just keep at it and try my luck. Thanks for the help anyways 👍

[hearty owl]

Isn’t that a nightfall weapon

Suggest some

[waxen ibex]

Forthcoming Deviance is the only S tier rated one on aegis list you can actually get rn

backfang is decent

all the other good ones are hard to get rn

[hearty owl]

I have the heresy one

[waxen ibex]

with a good roll?

that's one of two glaives available in the slot

it has decent perk options

Impulse Amplifier
Slice
Discord column 3

Close to Melee
Melee Momentum column 4

[hearty owl]

It has impulse amplifier and close to melee

[waxen ibex]

yeah that's fine then

one of the better glaives

[high lily]

thats the god roll for it

[hearty owl]

Alr thx

What would be the best exotic glaive

[rancid fern]

Void

[hearty owl]

What

[rancid fern]

Bubble

[hearty owl]

What

[twin peak]

they mean edge of action

there’s only vexcalibur winterbite and the edges

[safe iris]

when is the update with the buddies being affected by the nade stat

[rancid fern]

Oct 7

[safe iris]

ty

[hard hound]

is xur the only method for quickfang?

[main yew]

i remember playing nightfall weekly challenge in destiny 1. is there an equivalent here in 2?

[exotic crest]

How does one get the exotic class items?

Like stoicism

[hard hound]

dual destiny mission

[exotic crest]

Is it locked behind a specific dlc?

I have up till the final shape

[hard hound]

Yeah final shape, its in the pale heart destination

[exotic crest]

Oh I’m safe then

Thanks

Also are consecration titans the best rn?

For titans?

[rancid fern]

Sorry for the cryptic answer, it’s hard to fight a boss and type. There’s only 2 exotic void glaives in the game, one is considered the bubble glaive.

[safe iris]

how many malpais shots is optimal before detonating them

[rancid fern]

Any and all. If it’s for the super regen then just what you need.

[safe iris]

whole mag and reserves?

do they auto detonate?

[rancid fern]

They do auto detonate, but since many bosses have health gates, it’s better to detonate it yourself.

[safe iris]

also do you know how many shots you need to suspend enemies

[safe iris]

do you know after how long

[rancid fern]

2-3 bursts.

[charred niche]

2 fully landed bursts

[safe iris]

soooo

after every 2 bursts i should be detonating

[rancid fern]

Reprocing suspend on the same target too quickly won’t increase suspend time. Except for champions.

[hearty owl]

Abyss defiant god roll?

[rancid fern]

Light.gg works well to view perks. God rolls can be different for everyone.

[pulsar hemlock]

why does this have a way point and i cant claim a thing

[hearty owl]

What’s a good kinetic slot pulse rifle for PvE

[rancid fern]

Some objectives can be done before reaching it.

[rancid fern]

Blast furnace & Sacred provinence. Mint retro-grade for a special ammo option.

[fluid aurora]

does it need to be a pulse rifle? if not then mint retrograde is currently the best kinetic slot weapon imo

[exotic crest]

Chat which class has the best prismatic build?

[paper reef]

for dps its hunter

[fluid aurora]

subjective but I'd say Titan and Hunter

[fluid aurora]

yeah i agree

Titan is more fun to mess around with but Hunter is easily the best dps

[paper reef]

ngl with asking that question ur gonna get the most biased answers ever lmao

[hearty owl]

I wanna use cloud strike as a secondary

[fluid aurora]

yeah lol

[limpid arrow]

The top slot is the kinetic slot

They said it correctly lol

[rancid fern]

It has strand & stasis now, it is no longer the kinetic slot.

[limpid arrow]

Please categorize nullify for me

[paper reef]

still says kinetic weapons when you hover over the slot sooo

[rancid fern]

What is it? Light.gg is down for maintenance.

[limpid arrow]

(It’s a solar pulse rifle)

[fluid aurora]

I've heard Last Thursday is good but haven't personally used it

[limpid arrow]

So it is a primary energy weapon

Which if you call the top slot the primary slot is contradictory

Since the energy slot has primaries

It’s still the kinetic slot even tho it also contains stasis and strand

[rigid agate]

Primary slot is worse then kinetic slot by a mile, there are a ton of primaries in the energy slot while the kinetic slot has none kinetics, primary slot is not a good thing to call it

[idle edge]

Does the hiearchy pf needs crossbow still produce good ult charge after nerf?

[rancid fern]

Primary ammo and primary slot are 2 different things.

[fluid aurora]

why're we arguing over a slot name bro😭

[paper reef]

there is no primary slot

[rancid fern]

No.

[paper reef]

its kinetic/energy/power

the ammo types are a completely different thing

you could have special/special/heavy

[hearty owl]

What would be the best roll

[rancid fern]

Yes, however the name was never updated after new elements were created.

Microcosm is kinetic but it’s a heavy…

[fluid aurora]

https://www.blueberries.gg/weapons/last-thursday-god-rolls/

I mostly use blueberries to check

[limpid arrow]

One exotic heavy vs hundreds of energy primaries

[paper reef]

its literally cos its the name of the slot lmao

[limpid arrow]

And also what the game calls it lol

[rigid agate]

Same thing can be said about kinetic while being a lot less confusing and straightforward

[high lily]

do not use blueberries or light.gg to tell whats a god roll or not

[paper reef]

there look above my sturm

[hearty owl]

Alr thx a lot

[paper reef]

it says very clearly

kinetic weapons

cos its the name of the slot

always has been

always will be

[high lily]

rapid + honing is best for crucible

[rancid fern]

Energy slot.

[limpid arrow]

And the ammo type

[waxen ibex]

Stasis and strand weps are still functionally kinetic because they don't really do strand or stasis shielded enemies outside of campaign shit

[rancid fern]

Primary ammo and primary slot are very different.

[limpid arrow]

The difference is primary ammo exists and primary slot does not

[rancid fern]

It does though. Kinetic has no element, stasis and strand are both elements. It’s not my fault they never changed the name.

[waxen ibex]

They were going to change the name in beyond light but it was never that high priority and then it just never happened

It's not happening at this point

[limpid arrow]

Much smaller problem than when people make up “primary slot” and then 95% of new players ask for a primary special weapon and we have to ask 10 questions to narrow down what they avtually want and explain how the slots actually work

Because someone in chat is coping over a naming scheme that doesnt exist

[rancid fern]

Primary
Secondary
Tertiary

Words have definitions.

[waxen ibex]

If you think the name of the slot should be changed pitch a name that doesn't suck

Hi guys can you recommend me a secondary primary weapon

[hearty owl]

Oh shit rlly

[limpid arrow]

And the definition of primary is an ammo type and not a slot from bungie themselves but you are welcome to die on this hill i wont clog up questions anymore

[waxen ibex]

If they ever introduce a 6th element I propose the radical idea of having the darkness and lightness slots and kinetic weapons will go to one of those two inventories at random and it's determined at the time of rolling the weapon so it's not consistent for anybody

[rancid fern]

A secondary primary ammo weapon is very specific. Ammo is the defining factor here.

[waxen ibex]

I have a primary primary weapon and a secondary primary weapon

I am using the shotgun hc and graviton spike in crucible

My graviton spike can change between a primary and secondary element

You have to be trolling

[rancid fern]

You are confusing yourself. You have a primary AMMO weapon in the primary SLOT and an energy weapon that uses primary AMMO.

[exotic widget]

Whatr the best pvp shotguns rn

[safe iris]

kinetic primary and energy primary

[rancid fern]

What if it’s strand or stasis? Then it’s no longer kinetic, how does nobody see the problem here?

[safe iris]

kinetic slot

because strand and stasis came after

kinetic kinetic/dark subclasses
special light subclasses
power light/dark subclasses

[rancid fern]

Who’s trolling now?

[safe iris]

no one said anyone was trolling and still no one is trolling

also that special is supposed to be energy

which you could have pointed out instead of being weird

[exotic crest]

Man idk what build to make. Rn I have bonkhammer and skullfort/cuirass dps swaps on titan, solar nighthawk on hunter, starfire protocol and apotheosis on warlock. Anyone have suggestions for any better build I can run? I have all dlcs except the new one.

[waxen ibex]

Kinetic is the real outlier here at this point in its own slot but they can't really do anything about it

[safe iris]

make us rotate through 4 weapons

[waxen ibex]

You can't change it to dark/light weapons because kinetic isn't treated as either by prismatic so it's just odd

But there's not really a better way to do things either

[high lily]

3rd party sites are very unreliable and very often wrong when it comes to weapon rolls

[waxen ibex]

Maybe double primary was the solution all along

D2y1 was clearly made by visionaries

[rancid fern]

I’m not admitting I’m wrong, I’m pointing out the error in the name of the slot.

[exotic widget]

Petty

[safe iris]

bro's making up accusations

[solemn zodiac]

Let's move on. The slots are kinetic, energy, heavy. These are the names given by Bungie. If you want to discuss how it's/they're wrong, please indeed move to #✨destiny-discussion

[hearty owl]

Is lumina good in grandmaster

[rancid fern]

Depends on the use, for healing it’s less desirable than healing autos, for a weapon damage increase it’s best in slot.

[high lily]

Lumina is support weapon mostly used in raids

[hearty owl]

So adamantite would be better

What would be an ideal secondary then

[high lily]

whats the roll, and also what is the build?

[rancid fern]

Something that uses special ammo.

[hearty owl]

Circle of life and reporicty

I’m using a warlock electro sentry focused build

[hearty owl]

Would erianas vow be good

[waxen ibex]

lumina is fantastic but useless in solo play

[rancid fern]

Only 1 exotic weapon can be equipped at a time.

[waxen ibex]

same applies to support frame autos for the most part

[hearty owl]

I’ll use adamantie

Is third iteration still broken?

[waxen ibex]

no

[high lily]

youd want a arc primary in that case

and has Dallagen said, healing autos are useless in solo play

[hearty owl]

Are there any good arc grand master weapons

[hearty owl]

I’ll lfg in the built in feature

[high lily]

Corrasion, Posterity, Coldheart, Indebted Kindness, Oversoul Edict

[hearty owl]

I do have a corrasion

[high lily]

yea but healing autos (specifically on warlock) are better used on a full support build like Speaker's Sight, they arent used to kill anything

[hearty owl]

Alr I’ll use solar

Alr thx

[waxen ibex]

just in case, GM isn't like

the same as GM nightfalls were

a matchmade gm activity rn is like doing a matchmade nightfall

the difficulties barely mean anything in portal other than being a higher power baseline and at a point they add champions

what made gm nightfall hard was power delta and that's just not a thing you ever have to be forced into excluding conquests

[safe iris]

some conquests are awful

[waxen ibex]

the conquests are awful more because they hired a serial killer to design the modifier combos

tbh

[safe iris]

LMAO

[rancid fern]

I suggested that but was mocked for it.

[safe iris]

i think this one is cool 🙄

especially since u can super out of it

[hearty owl]

How about my weapons power level

Don’t they auto match

[waxen ibex]

ok tell me soloing conduit was fun

straight face

[safe iris]

i did NOT solo any of the conquests

[waxen ibex]

i did

i failed conduit 2x because that boss has so much splash damage i could only heal with heal clip and kept getting randomly volatile shield stunned and at that point i wish i would just die normally bc the volatile shield is ragebaiting me

[paper reef]

volatile shield is so fucking bad man

[waxen ibex]

like i'd rather just get 3 tapped by a wyvern then have to realize it put me in third person and go through the 5 stages of grief trying to find an orb to heal with

horrible modifier

[safe iris]

well if you have teammates....

or a super

[waxen ibex]

i have soloed every conquest so far and i will not change that unless one gets me hovering the uninstall button

i like complaining about my hubris

[rancid fern]

Fireteam power does bring up your power to 5 below the leader.

[hearty owl]

Ah

So no point in investing my hard earned shards

To upgrade the loot

[arctic glade]

Started my placement matches in comp. In one match we were 2 against 3 and none of our kills counted. Also they one tapped us with hc. Wtf?

[safe iris]

recieved loot is also based off your own power

rewards are based off your personal power not your fireteam power

[rancid fern]

A nice trick is to wear armor while leveling from solo/pinnacle ops, infusing the same armor only costs glimmer.

[nocturne geode]

hey man how do i farm engimas

@rancid fern again

[tulip oar]

Do you mean engrams?

[nocturne geode]

yes

sorry

[tulip oar]

Ok, and then do you mean exotic engrams?

[nocturne geode]

yeah so i can roll for my chest agian

[tulip oar]

Expert Lost Sectors

[solar jasper]

Unlocking Expert/Master Lost Sectors
To unlock the day's sector in Expert/Master difficulty you must:

• Be at or above soft cap (note you will want to be higher to actually run the sector)
• Have run the day's sector (including looting the chest) on the character you're logged in as.

#infographics updates shortly after daily reset with the day's current sector.

-[Lost Sector FAQs and infographs](#1010171097372692480 message)

[nocturne geode]

@tulip oar im at 201 and how do i find the daily one

[tulip oar]

Every planet has one. Looks for a grayish shield with the lost sector icon (symbol in the picture in the bot message above) on the planet map

[nocturne geode]

doesnt matter the planet?

[tulip oar]

If there's no sector icon, then it does still require that you've cleared it first, in which case the bot message explains 100% of this

[nocturne geode]

@tulip oar i cleared a normal one how do i find the expert one

[tulip oar]

Which one did you clear?

[nocturne geode]

trostland atrium

[tulip oar]

Well, that's not the day's sector for the EDZ

[nocturne geode]

im confused lol

[rancid fern]

It’s best to just clear sectors on every planet u have access to and loot the chest. Then you never have to guess where it’s at.

[nocturne geode]

how do u know which one is the day sector

[sudden egret]

#infographics has the list of the daily lost sectors

[nocturne geode]

ahh i see

[exotic crest]

whats the meta for hunters rn?

[rancid fern]

It’s a bug involving grapple sturm and any sidearm.

[exotic crest]

oh, is there anything else that doesn't involve bugs?

coz I want something after it gets patched

[ornate halo]

Still grapple melee but without the bug instead

[exotic crest]

so is that prismatic?

or strand

[ornate halo]

Yeah

[exotic crest]

ok gotcha

any specific exotic setup?

[ornate halo]

Yeah the class item with liars

[paper reef]

why do dungeons give me so much clan xp

like hawthorne xp

[dark mango]

use syntho, liars doesnt effect grapple dmg any more

[stable ridge]

What’s the best solo ops to run, also what guns should I go for that are good in pve

I’m coming back after a long break and Ts is too much change💔

[exotic crest]

this build with synthos?

[waxen ibex]

ballyhoo

[waxen ibex]

no

gunpower gamble and strand melee make no sense there

[exotic crest]

what do I do then?

[waxen ibex]

this is everything that affects grapple punch damage plus 200 melee and grenade

stylish executioner also affects grapple punch damage and is generally recommended for the not dying part of building up combo blow stacks

[dark mango]

need combo blow and stylish and facet of courage

[waxen ibex]

the second aspect slot would be pretty much free but winters shroud and threaded specter both help survivability a ton as well

[dark mango]

ill post mine in a sec

[safe iris]

shround my beloved

[stable ridge]

I have an ability spam build with innermost light and crytarachne, should I swap out accession with stylish executioner?

[waxen ibex]

if you are trying to grapple punch you should have on combination blow and ways to reliably use combination blow

if you arent trying to maximize grapple punch then what im saying isnt even relevant to you

[stark patio]

How hard is it to get outbreak perfected and the catalyst? Me and my friend started playing again and want to get it.

[stable ridge]

Me and a friend of mine who just started, already ran through it and got outbreak perfected, the catalyst and some upgrades are really what takes time, hard if u dont know what to do really

[rancid fern]

It has a lot of jumping puzzles and an unforgivable timer.

[exotic crest]

The gun itself is easy, the catalyst can be difficult

[little pewter]

it will require a few attempts because of the psuedo maze-like mission

and you're on a time limit

[stark patio]

Can i go in without knowing wjat to do and get it done?

[exotic crest]

can you explain the gameplay loop a little as well? I'm new to prismatic hunter

[waxen ibex]

normal mode zero hour has a like 40 minute timer but is a 10 minute mission with a boss room handcrafted by a serial killer bungie arranged prison visits with

[exotic crest]

probably gonna take a few attempts

[dark mango]

powered melee kill, dodge, powered melee kill, dodge, repeat until x3 stacks of combo blow, then refresh every once in a while as the buff last 20s, and use grapple on any beefier enemies

[waxen ibex]

you can very easily read a guide as you go but zero hour is one of the few exotic missions they've done where you can actually get lost at sections

so going in blind would mean you probably will run out of time on your first attempt at least

[exotic flame]

Is there a way to fix the 50% update that stalls on PC?

[waxen ibex]

if an update is 'stalled' on steam it's just decompressing files and nothing is broken generally

[exotic flame]

I mean stalls like stuck, it doesnt move past that percentage

[waxen ibex]

yes that is how steam works

[exotic flame]

oh

[steel sundial]

use one of the servers in the top 2 links

theyre very very active

[rose geode]

Omg so sorry

[sudden egret]

lfg here is dead

[little pewter]

this server is a bit smaller, its also a bad idea to only allow PC players to join you, instead of all platforms

[woven tree]

Why are you using courage here

[rose geode]

My bad 🙁

[steel sundial]

grapple punch

[steel sundial]

its all good dude dw ab it

[woven tree]

You are not using something like winter shroud why coursge

[rose geode]

I’m still lvl 2 so I cant do matchmaking

[steel sundial]

grapple debuffs

[rose geode]

That’s why Im looking for someone here

Hehe

[woven tree]

It does not proc before hand, I tried

Damage proc first before debuff

[steel sundial]

on the first grapple no

but on subsequent grapples it does

[nocturne geode]

do gurdian ranks matter for some reason cant get past 4

[woven tree]

I mean you could do that

[tulip oar]

Assuming you mean Guardian Ranks, you should probably focus on knocking those out then, but in the meantime, the other LFG servers will work better

[nocturne geode]

cant get past the purchase weapons from banshee even tho i have

or the bounties

[tulip oar]

You're likely using the wrong menu at Banshee

[nocturne geode]

i was what about the bounties

[tulip oar]

Well I don't know offhand what 'the bounties' means

[dark mango]

combo blow makes grapple deal arc dmg

[woven tree]

Yeah I know about that

[dark mango]

oh that was supposed to have winters shroud oops

[woven tree]

Just wondering where you get that constant darkness debuff

[hollow cradle]

Can we focus mini tool?

Doing these PvP matches are eh

[tulip oar]

Can you elaborate on the trouble you're having with the bounties?

[tight widget]

did Stronghold get nerfed awhile back?
I dont understand its use now... 4 sec blocking?
it doesnt do much more than not having it equipped.
how the heck else was B to nerf this.

[tulip oar]

They have not reverted the changes yet

[waxen ibex]

They hate fathers of four

Stronghold dead

[covert ivy]

I have to select solo modifiers upto 350 power to even get a +3 from my current power of 305. Is this normal after reaching 300 power?

[tulip oar]

For solo ops, target a middle of the final bar B+. Unless you're painfully slow, your time bonus will push you into A

[waxen ibex]

Start with modifiers that don't increase power delta

If this is happening that means you're probably not using avant garde or no hud or anything else that's effectively free since they don't raise delta

There are some rough patches of power where modifiers become annoying though

And 300-310 is one of them

Luckily you can also just spam iron banner games for free +3s

[covert ivy]

it gets better after 310?

[waxen ibex]

I would say every 100 power you run into a weird patch with modifiers for a bit but crucible completely sidesteps it too

also keep in mind that power scaling changed a lot

-40 in EoF is what -20 would be last year

So it seems harder than it is oftentimes

[acoustic sleet]

can anyone please explain what's going on with these antlers

[tulip oar]

Holochip, like the wings, heart trails, etc.

[acoustic sleet]

ah

[stable ridge]

What’s the best activity to either grind power or high tier armor/weapons

[steel sundial]

well for higher tier armor/weapons you need higher power

so solo/pinnacle ops are what you want to do

[stable ridge]

What power lvl would I have to be to get higher tier loot

Like ideally tier 3 or above

[tulip oar]

Then 300 or above

[stable ridge]

Alr ty

[hearty owl]

Mint retrograde g roll?

[stable ridge]

Any solo/pinnacle you’d recommend?

[steel sundial]

whichever is featured

[steel sundial]

rewind rounds/elemental honing

[hearty owl]

Is it a focused reward atm

[steel sundial]

idk i havent logged on in likea week

[hearty owl]

Don’t blame u🫩👍

[safe iris]

does bleak watcher reach the witness

or would it be better to just run devour

[rancid fern]

No, it’s not a focus atm, however it can still drop from pinnacle ops.

[hearty owl]

Ah alr thx

[kindred zodiac]

Where to get veiled threat

[glad viper]

Why is lightgg so buggy on mobile? Is there anyway to fix it?

Keeps trying to redownload local destiny API files and crashes

[tulip oar]

Assuming they fix the bug where the new missions drop nothing, Encore when it's the featured exotic mission in the Legends section of World, or Xur.

[safe iris]

and does hellion?

[safe iris]

@little pewter :p

you would know right

[little pewter]

i havent used hellion on the witness, but it likely has enough range

[desert warren]

How do i get prismatic?

[tulip oar]

The Final Shape

[desert warren]

Damn

Hoq di i get the exotic stasis warlock gauntlets

[paper reef]

osmiomancys?

[tulip oar]

Assuming you mean Osmiomancy, own the Witch Queen, and then:

[desert warren]

I believe its called wrathweavers

[paper reef]

edgge of fate 💔✌️

[tulip oar]

Same as Osmio, just replace Witch Queen with Lightfall

[desert warren]

Is that the same case with rime coat?

[tulip oar]

In that case you'd replace Witch Queen with The Final Shape

[daring coral]

I got prime tier 5 engram drop in solo op caledra after finishing at tier C+ is this normal

[rancid fern]

It was a prime engram, very rare.

[high lily]

after 400 power they drop roughly every 8-12 runs

[rancid fern]

What was incorrect about that?

[high lily]

they arent rare

[rancid fern]

You can’t force a drop through a grade though.

[high lily]

you get one guaranteed at 20 runs

[rancid fern]

Yeah, rare.

[high lily]

thats not rare

[steel sundial]

it is guaranteed

it's not rare if they are guaranteed to drop

they just take time

[rancid fern]

Scenario:
So 20 runs of an expert/master lost sector for an exotic engram is too common?

[high lily]

thats just unlucky

getting to 20 runs without a drop is rare

[steel sundial]

it's not a matter of common/uncommon

its just a matter of how fast can you do 20 runs

[hearty owl]

Is the new exotic pulse rifle good

[rancid fern]

Yes

Extremely high super regen on roaming supers too.

[celest dagger]

guys what weapon are worth to buy in the iron banner npc

[high lily]

Crimils for pvp

[dark mango]

tinashas mastery

[high lily]

Tinasha yea

[celest dagger]

only that one?

is it pvp or pve

[dark mango]

pve

[high lily]

Tinasha is pve

[dark mango]

none of the other weapons worth for pve

[celest dagger]

thx homie

[twin cave]

What’s the max light I can be for DP?

What’s max light cap* for DP I mean

[dark mango]

there is no light cap, the raid automatically puts you at a power delta

you're raised to 5 light under the highest power fireteam member

[twin cave]

Gotchya ty

[hearty owl]

What’s better mint or new malpias

[rancid fern]

Hard question, one is exotic and one is a legendary. Are you referring to damage?

[high lily]

new malpias apparently has slightly more reserves, but both perform the same

[hearty owl]

In general

So it’s kinda like zhalouli vs sonshot

[high lily]

yea

[hearty owl]

Both are pretty much the same but one’s an exotic and one’s a legendary

So if anything the legendary is better because you can pick another legendary instead

[rancid fern]

The exotic can suspend a target, mint cannot.

[hearty owl]

Oh really

What does the catalyst do

[high lily]

unravel

[rancid fern]

It applies unravel. 2-3 bursts will suspend a target.

[high lily]

suspend doesnt really do much though considering youll be mostly using it against bosses or higher health targets, most of which cant actually be affected by debuffs like that

[rancid fern]

Mini-bosses and champions still suspend.

[hearty owl]

And the gun is already kinda overkill to use on red bars

[honest jolt]

You guys recommend buy wormgod caress?

[high lily]

yea

[honest jolt]

Ok

[safe iris]

does blast raidus still affect total damage

like on outrageous fortune

[steel sundial]

yes

very minorly

that's why people recommend spike nades/impact casing

oh wait

blast radius

hollon!

[safe iris]

idk which one to use

im sure its neglible

but what would be technically better
