[steel sundial]

as desert perpetual is as it stands the best raid in the game

so i hope that standard continues into renegades' dungeon

[chrome remnant]

reminds me of my ex

lol but ty i didnt realize a modifier like tha even existed

[woven tree]

using that as a reference for Ex-es are crazy

[fathom marten]

My ex-wife is also a fake ammo brick, small world huh

[woven tree]

[sudden egret]

maybe it's the same person

[steel sundial]

crazy theory

[woven tree]

[chrome remnant]

wanna know what else is small?

[woven tree]

No

[fathom marten]

🤨

[chrome remnant]

D2's playerbase, what did you think I was gonna say?

[fathom marten]

mods, take away this guy's ability to speak French

[chrome remnant]

is that a Controlling Vision?

[chrome remnant]

no, baguette

[torn trail]

how often do we get armor exotics cuz it feels like we never do

[steel sundial]

usually twice per expansion but its looking more like once per expansion now

[torn trail]

yeesh

[steel sundial]

the expansions are shorter though

so its effectively the same

[fathom marten]

Time wise yes, but definitely not price wise

[steel sundial]

eeeeh

the annual pass cost the same amount as final shape’s did

[fathom marten]

We've gotten on average 4 pieces of armor per class for the past five expansions. Now we've only gotten 1 piece per class for a single expansion

[steel sundial]

yeesh nvm

[fathom marten]

Edge of Fate is also just about 2.5 times shorter or so than the previous five dlcs

It equates to about 1 piece of exotic armor per class per 100 days

[steel sundial]

that seems roughly the same as previous years

time wise

[fathom marten]

Yep

But at the same time it's going from $60 USD for 4 to $40 USD for 1

[steel sundial]

and the exotics end up being mid anyways

💔

[woven tree]

i mean

the axe can have its own fun

but we are living in a era where eager edge are the to go choices

[chrome remnant]

is the catch-up chest confirmed for tomorrow?

that catches everyone up to 300? i mustve missed it but a friend mentioned it

rip ive been grinding portals for nothing then lol o well

[verbal hollow]

saladin is only here when iron banner is here

so he is not here

[ripe nova]

but the arms week event wants me to talk to saladin at the tower

[little pewter]

...huh

and does the track lead to anything in the tower?

i swear thats supposed to say talk to ada in the firing range

[ripe nova]

no it doesnt

i talked to ada and got some stuff tho, thanks

[valid hazel]

What are trade off modifiers

I'm trying to find them for my guardian rank

Which ones are they

[spare tusk]

If you hover over the modifiers itll say what type of modifier it is

Depending on what power level you are theres a chance you dont have any available to select yet

[vague garden]

Are these Handle options just downgrades? Why do they exist?

[spare tusk]

Read the descriptions

They change how you play the weapon a bit

[little pewter]

no

[vague garden]

OH

I see it now

Still don't know which to choose because the language is vague

Hm someone is saying it's bugged such that Rampager's Handle and Tenacious Handle are just slower versions of Unyielding Handle

So I guess Unyielding is best until they fix it

[fleet bane]

What meta guns should I shoot for atm and where do I find them?

[fathom marten]

Anything under the "Shopping List" tab here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JM-0SlxVDAi-C6rGVlLxa-J1WGewEeL8Qvq4htWZHhY/edit?gid=1062099834#gid=1062099834

[sudden finch]

guys whats top best heavy ammo weapons

i keep seeing people say grand ov and ive tried it in shooting range and it has 200 dps at 230 pwr

[little pewter]

for what, dps?

[little pewter]

1: power doesnt make you stronger, that shouldnt matter if you put training power to 10
2: where in the fresh hell do you see people saying this

[zinc basin]

hello guys, why does new malpais recommend over mint? for pve

[little pewter]

what are you looking at, usage? that looks like you're looking at usage

personal usage, even

[little pewter]

ah no you're looking at the weapon usage for merlin.

its up there beacuse its what the user merlin has used the most this season (as per the description of the full image)

[zinc basin]

maybe i dunno i didn't use that command i just saw it Top Current Season PvE Weapons

ohhh

damn

[little pewter]

the collective usage of new malpis far exceeds 926 kills

we do not have a bot that automatically recommends which weapons to use

[zinc basin]

brain did not look for the details but yea makes sense

[little pewter]

given the amount of nuance that lies within which weapons to use/not use.

[zinc basin]

understandable

i am using rewind rounds mint retrogade , graviton lance and destablizing rounds qua xaphan v
but they are not so fun, i was trying looking for some other options but i am new joined abt a week ago so don't have access to alot

well, not that they are not fun but the fun is in trying new things

[tidal merlin]

I saw someone whose name was suffixed with "Citizen of The Tower" but it wasnt a title.
Are names allowed to be that long or is it some sort of reward effect?

[fleet bane]

Does anyone have any hunter builds for my new friend that doesn’t really have any crazy exotic armour pieces or do you have any ideas on how he can get his hands on exotic pieces for the builds? He would like to use solar most please and Ty

[little pewter]

celestial nighthawk with golden gun sharpshooter

[spare tusk]

I wouldnt exactly use that in normal content its overkill for everything but bosses

But tripmine builds with that one Ahamkara exotic is making the rounds again recently

Might be worth giving that a try

[fleet bane]

How do you get ahamkara?

[little pewter]

world drop

or focusing at rahool if you have an exotic engram

[high lily]

doesnt Ikora's quest give it

[daring coral]

Is there another way than the dungeon to get ice breaker exotic?
Like xur or whatever

[little pewter]

no, dungeon exotics are dungeon only, same as quest exotics and raid exotics

[little pewter]

oh right she does iirc

[daring coral]

Damn so I have to pay just to get that dungeon key, ts sucks

[copper apex]

How much is the taken set again

[fleet bane]

Any arc hunter builds?

For new players

[spare tusk]

Combination blow and liars handshake

Technically this works better on Prismatic if you have Final Shape

[woven tree]

3 builds can be good

Gifted Conviction ascension Spam
Liars Hand HandShake Comboblow
Assasin cowl Tempest Strike

but yeah, what alex said

prismatic are much better for the first 2 build i mentioned

[fleet bane]

My friend does not own final shape so he can’t use prismatic

[spare tusk]

Then mono arc it is

Still works just not as effective

[fleet bane]

Viable?

[spare tusk]

Depending on the content obviously but yeah

Liars Handshake in particular is a bit more solo focused since you need to be the one doing all the killing in decently quick succession to keep the stacks and your health up

[fleet bane]

He’s just started and I’m looking for an arc build he can play for a while till 100-200

[woven tree]

Assasin Cowl Tempest Strike can pretty much work as well, could be better than liars combo blow + it allows you to go invis as an extra way of survivability

[fleet bane]

is assassins cowl easy to get early game?

[woven tree]

does your friend have shadow keep?

[fleet bane]

no but he can get it

[woven tree]

assasin cowl is locked behind shadow keep

[fleet bane]

How do u get it

[woven tree]

Assasin cowl is good for mid-some high end content since its provide an easy to turn invisible and hp regen

[woven tree]

shadow keep campaign

[fleet bane]

Alright

Liars handshake is obtained via

The starter quest

From ikora

[woven tree]

not from what i expeirnced, its a random drop for exotic engram

[fleet bane]

What’s the arc exotic for ikora

[woven tree]

the one obtained from ikora is chest piece i am pretty sure

raiden flux i am pretty sure

[fleet bane]

From finishing it?

[woven tree]

either raiden flux or six cyote i forgot

[woven tree]

pretty sure yeah

[copper apex]

where does the insgine shader robes drop?

[spare tusk]

The exotic from shadowkeep is the helmet is it not?

Cowl or whatever

Titans get the solar legs and Warlock get uuuuh robe???

[zinc basin]

is it possible to have one of these cool builds as a newer player? or do i just have to stick with the guns for a while :p

[spare tusk]

Depends what cool builds you wanna go for

And what expansions you have

[zinc basin]

is expansions the ones you buy?

[spare tusk]

Yes

DLC

Same thing

[zinc basin]

i'm not against buying any, i saw one guy in my team earlier was spamming crystals looked kinda cool

they were titan + my power idk what they did though

[spare tusk]

Probably that new Stasis build making the rounds

[zinc basin]

i didn't look into it but is it possible for a new player like could i achieve it today

[little pewter]

its not important to go for builds at your stage, you can if you want to, but you have no real requirement to go for one yet

you will passively earn gear that can be suitable for a build as time goes on nonetheless

[zinc basin]

ah ok if not recommended i will not, i heard today all power goes to 300 so maybe will need to think about it very soon then (if power has some sort of relation to deciding when to go for a build. i have no idea)

[little pewter]

its not that i recommend against it, its that its not important right now
builds only begin to matter in harder content

but just because you dont need to doesnt mean you cant

[zinc basin]

ah so it's overkill right now

[little pewter]

just saying you dont need to worry about getting one, play at your own pace!

aye, but i really want to emphasise that doesnt mean you shouldnt or cant

it just means you have no obligation

[zinc basin]

i understand. at the moment i don't actually know what to even do in the game because no point of leveling up power of gear

[celest dagger]

guys today we are gonna have an update related to gear level up

will it be better or worse

idgt

[little pewter]

farm loot

rather than power

you're very new but you could give the easiest raid a shot in a sherpa, to dip your feet into it

[zinc basin]

do you think i can do with better armor? it has no stars but i'm using 2 bushido 2 tech-sec. for my weapons i think they are pretty good but iirc if it's not 5 stars i will look for replacement in future anyway?

[little pewter]

tiers (the stars thing) scales with power and is quite important on armor, im talking about better rolls for some weapons (where tiers matter but are less important), and exotics (where tiers do not matter)

[zinc basin]

on weapons i have rewind mint, gravitor/choir, destablizing rounds qua xaphan so even that i feel like is hard to get better right now xD unless i want higher tier upgrade or god rolls perk

[little pewter]

rewind what on mint

rewind is one of the five randomly rolled slots on a weapon

[zinc basin]

rewind rounds

[little pewter]

yeah

rewind rounds

one of the five randomly rolled slots on a weapon

the other five matter, the 3rd and 4th matter the most (3rd being rewind rounds)

[zinc basin]

oh

so all have certain uses

[little pewter]

mint's got two main good roll comboes, rewind is in both of them

just uh

show a screenshot of your weapon roll

[little pewter]

yeah so the 4th slot there? master of arms? you want bait and switch or elemental honing

i'd go for bait since thats far easier to proc

so get more mints

[solemn zodiac]

don't honing and bns kinda do the same thing with slightly different ways to proc em ?

[little pewter]

honing has 5% more damage (10% on kinetic)

[solemn zodiac]

I'm surprised chain isn't a cool option on it as well

[little pewter]

bns in turn is far easier to proc, needing much less investment

[zinc basin]

usually my friend carried me with the raids are those raids adjusted to fit my power or nah?

like if i do it solo

[solemn zodiac]

not exactly, but you are scaled up to the highest power

[little pewter]

you cant do it solo.

[solemn zodiac]

raids do not scale down to your power

[zinc basin]

oh what

[little pewter]

raids are far more than simply "big bad enemy is strong shoot it until it dies"

there's "mechanics"

puzzles you must solve in the middle of the encounter

[zinc basin]

yeah we did alot had no idea whatwas going on with most of them

[little pewter]

think of it like an escape room that compensates for you probably already knowing what to do, while you're getting shot at.

[little pewter]

thats where a "sherpa" comes in

[little pewter]

seek out a sherpa through the LFG channels in the discord

[zinc basin]

this outbreak perfected i got i've never been so confused in my life in the dungeon or raid or whatever its called

[little pewter]

(ask where you'd go if you're unsure in the main chat, do not LFG for people in the main chat)

[zinc basin]

oh i gotta look for someone on discord

[little pewter]

only missions classified as a dungeon or a raid ahead of time counts as a dungeon or a raid

zero hour, for outbreak, is an exotic mission

far simpler than a dungeon or a raid

[zinc basin]

SIMPLER?

[little pewter]

dont worry, the easiest raid is still simple

[solemn zodiac]

I would generally recommend searching for sherpas that actively teach you encounters. While getting carried is all fun and games, you will generally need to do raids multiple times to get the weapons you want, and you will definitely not always find a carry (if a carry's even possible, which isn't always the case for some raid encounters)

[little pewter]

im genuinely not pulling your leg when i tell you the easiest raid, vault of glass, has a core mechanic that emulates a childrens toy.

an actual toy used for children, very young children

[solemn zodiac]

zero hour is comparatively simpler if you know the puzzles, but people will generally use outside solutions for said puzzles, as they are not easy to understand from directly inside the game.

[zinc basin]

erm maybe i could do that solo then

[little pewter]

you cant solo a raid

period

[zinc basin]

yeah i might search or wait for my friend not too sure

[little pewter]

its not a matter of difficulty

[zinc basin]

oh

so it just doesn't let you

[little pewter]

ok well some raids are soloable but those are exceptions

[little pewter]

mechanics usually require multiple people to execute

[solemn zodiac]

raids are not designed to be soloed and the few encounters that let you solo them will require a lot of skill to pull them off (and/or glitches)

basic example: raid encounter requires 2 people to sit on a plate. you are alone. you cannot do the raid encounter.

[turbid talon]

They are, mechanically, designed for six separate people acting in tandem with communication.

Vault of Glass is just very very simple. You still need multiple people, however.

[solemn zodiac]

plate sitting is a landmark of raid mechanics

[zinc basin]

if they are not designed to be solo'd why do i gotta use discord to find someone to help surely that's not intentional? they have the find a team but only people like 500 power are using it, surely could have just put like match making giving a random team mates 🙀

[little pewter]

vault of glass' final encounter has 3 random people be teleported, and 3 random people remain unteleported
unteleported must communicate a order of "oracles" for the teleported people to shoot

[little pewter]

thats... not quite right, no.

first discord is just the most common way on the internet to find people to play with outside of matchmaking

thats just for games in general

its intentional that you need multiple people (intended for 6 but can be done with less)

and since power doesnt make you stronger, there is literally zero reason to gatekeep raids behind 500 power or something.

[solemn zodiac]

well as you said the is the fireteam finder, it's just that most people like discord more as a way to find teams.
As far as matchmaking goes, most encounters will require active participation from at least half of the team, and matchmaking would likely make you end up with people who either/or do not want to help, do the mechanics, don't know them, don't have the gear, or any combination of those.

[little pewter]

finally, matchmaking has been a topic long discussed, believe me when i say matchmaking would be a living nightmare for players actually half competent

[solemn zodiac]

matchmaking sounds like a good idea, until you do a raid that isn't vault of glass

[little pewter]

most matchmade people i met during rite of the nine struggled with mechanics simpler than vault, it will sound like a bad idea upon doing vault.

[turbid talon]

something something The Corrupted strike

[little pewter]

to maybe put it into perspective:
in some raids a player that doesnt know what to do is generally worse than nothing, an active detriment, and would serve the team better if they were an emply slot

exceptions exists like "ok we know you dont know what to do, go clear adds instead" or sherpa runs

[zinc basin]

so is this being a sherpa actually like assigned to people, they wait for people like me to need help with figuring out what to do, or is it just that i need to hope someone just wants to carry me? i would think people are not doing that all day but maybe i'm wrong, and then if i can't find anyone next step is to look for a team of 5?

but yeah i get the point about match making i have saw some funny things even in my short time

[solemn zodiac]

some people do do that all day because they enjoy it. It is indeed a role that people take up, either making up their own team, or answering to a team's need for a sherpa.

a good sherpa run will not be a carry. The point of a sherpa run is to teach you what the fuck is going on and what the fuck to do when whatever is going on goes on.

[zinc basin]

i'll def check in a bit, is mic a requirement? had a cough + sore throat for the longest so it might be something i'll have to delay until im good if that's the case

[solemn zodiac]

yes I feel a mic will be very positive to your experience

you can technically do without, but for beginners it will be tremendously better

[turbid talon]

Typically. You can get away without one in VoG, but I would highly recommend a mic for all Raid content.

[zinc basin]

yeah makes sense, not sure people would enjoy having to stop to type constantly :p

[turbid talon]

It also isn't very conducive to avoiding bullets

[zinc basin]

only a temporary issue anyway until i'm not sick, joined the discord rn will have a look ty for all the help from everyone def opens my eyes a bit since i was already not sure what to do but hopefully i'll be full grind these raids n stuff soon enough 😳 ❤️

[solemn zodiac]

no problem, don't hesitate to ask

[safe quartz]

do side quests on kepler carry on account or on charcater

[formal plinth]

Should I get Gifted Conviction or Mask of Fealty? Which builds are better?

[steel sundial]

gifted conviction is likely more relevant in today’s sandbox but mask of fealty holds the title for probably the strongest stasis hunter build and its a lot of fun too

it’s really up to you, i’d look into builds using each to see what suits your playstyle more

[lofty folio]

its this mission anyone help me

here

[steel sundial]

follow the stairs up and grab the shield

[lofty folio]

its so hard

i died 20 time i think

[steel sundial]

what are you using?

[lofty folio]

guns

what you mean

[steel sundial]

like what weapons, what abilities and strategies

[solemn zodiac]

I don't wanna be mean spirited about it, but the issue might simply be you're a beginner playing a campaign on legendary, a difficulty mode that's simply not aimed at you for the reason you're in right now.

[solemn zodiac]

they mean that in general you should probably have (at least) some sort of proto-build going in legendary campaigns, otherwise just using random guns will end up with you coughing out blood

[lofty folio]

im new so i didnt knew it

but i completed the quest

[solemn zodiac]

ah that's good

but yes do keep in mind if you end up blocked that all the legendary campaigns were designed for more veteran players to have a way to both get more challenge out of campaigns and with a reward that let them skip part of the leveling process.

[lofty folio]

oh thanks man

[solemn zodiac]

you can switch back to normal at any time btw, if that ends up being too much of an issue

or just have fun with legendary, it's still good introduction for the higher end of the game's difficulty

[lofty folio]

it was fun in legendary the normal ones

are quite easy

i had a lot of fun in legendary

[solemn zodiac]

ah well then that's good enough of a reason 🙂

[stone fulcrum]

will this dlc be the main for the same time as edge of fate or is it supposed to be longer

[solemn zodiac]

should be the same length

[flint thicket]

Do we know if the bonus drops are getting wiped today

[steel sundial]

only on the activities that are being moved from fireteam to pinnacle

so onslaught coil and something else i dont exactly remember

[glad crag]

Bonus drops are being moved to the level drop of the activity

[steel sundial]

we know

[flint thicket]

Yeah ik thats why I didn’t want to lose the ones I saved up lol

[steel sundial]

he’s talking about some bonus drops being cleared from the activities

[obtuse fossil]

Hello I’m new how do I play the main missions after finishing the prologue

I’ve never played before

[little pewter]

"main missions"?

[obtuse fossil]

Is the a main story line ?

There *

[little pewter]

aye but they're across different expansions

the meat n' bones of D2 isnt really the story, at least gameplay wise

[obtuse fossil]

so what do I do to get better guns and level up

I’m so lost

[little pewter]

well, after you've done the tutorial campaign the main progression is guardian ranks and portal activities

power, or "level" for that matter, is primarily from portal activities

note that next reset (3 hours) an update will give you a nice power boost (up to 300) plus some materials

[valid hazel]

What's the best way to get exp outside of challenges?

I need like 22 ranjs

Also what are the trade off modifiers

I've been trying to figure it out for like three days now

The mods in the section they highlight don't work

[little pewter]

have you tried the modifiers that says they're trade-offs?

show a screenshot of the mission in question, and the mod you think is not working

[valid hazel]

None of them say that though...

[little pewter]

are you high enough power to access trade-off modifiers

[valid hazel]

What would be high enough

[untold hornet]

will festival of the lost start today or next week/ the week after that?

[valid hazel]

Is it master difficulty or something?

I'm currently on expert

[little pewter]

there im unsure but i think its in the ballpark of master?

[untold hornet]

ye master difficulty for trade offs

[valid hazel]

Man

[open stirrup]

is legendary eof campaign good for getting new armor for a new character?

[honest charm]

did graviton spike get a pvp nerf a while ago?

[frozen tinsel]

I'm completely new to D2. Is there anything I need to buy to properly play the game. I know its f2p but I hear that a lot of content is behind paywalls

[dark mango]

most of the content is locked behind dlcs

most raids, dungeons, trials, seasonal content are all paywalled

[formal plinth]

Gotcha thanks!

Is Graviton Spike locked behind Edge of Fate?

[dark mango]

yes

[formal plinth]

Aw man

[dark mango]

the quest to unlock it begins after the campaign

[formal plinth]

Gotta wait for a sale in a few years then 😅

[dark mango]

it’s on sale right now

[formal plinth]

It’s probably still somewhat expensive in my country

[little pewter]

here's what id recommend:
Do the tutorial campaign
fuck around, visit the portal, check the guardian rank system, check out quests you can get, visit places and get a feel for the game

if you begin feeling content is lacking and you genuinely enjoy the game, wait for a sale, and buy the amount of DLCs you feel appropriate. Check what each DLC offers or what DLC offers what you want

[formal plinth]

Yep it is

[little pewter]

for a sale in D2? nonsense, we have many sales a year

[little pewter]

yea thats full price, newest dlcs tends to not go on sale for a while, but this one has been the exception (a recent 30% sale)

[glad viper]

Is sub machinist medal bugged?

Just got 4 kills with smg in a single life and it didn’t unlock

[unborn cloak]

i got it recently so

it has to be final blows, not just eliminations

[glad viper]

Yea they were all final blows

Done it multiple times now no medal

[unborn cloak]

that's weird

[steel sundial]

it was wacky for me for a while

were you in trials or cutting edge?

[glad viper]

I was in arms week hardware

[steel sundial]

thatd be it

event modes don’t count as crucible for some reason

it didnt work for me bc i was playing comp and iron banner

but then i did it in control and it worked

[glad viper]

hello , how does power level is counted for second and third character ? does it take into account your strongest piece across all character ?

[fierce spear]

Your highest stuff becomes your account power

Uses stuff from all classes at the same time

[dire cargo]

ha nice , so the power chest that is supposed to be available at the tower after reset will bump one character to 300 on 1 char and the other will start looting as if they had those same piece ?

Yes

I’ve restarted my game three times and it’s not helping at all

[steel sundial]

yeah its a bug

they havent fixed it yet

try using the vault in the tower or dim

[lime falcon]

Already tried and none are working

[steel sundial]

you tried dim?

[lime falcon]

Is that the app?

[steel sundial]

its a website as well

[lime falcon]

Then yes, and it’s not working

[steel sundial]

are you sure you tried dim? this is an in-game bug it shouldnt limit you from moving things around in your account

[lime falcon]

Yes!

did you pay your outstanding decription bill to rahool ? he might have put a worker lien on your asset ( this is a shitpost)

[lime falcon]

It won’t let me move stuff from my character to my vault

[steel sundial]

then you’ll just have to wait for a fix

did you try the left stick i said already

[lime falcon]

Yes, it did nothing

[steel sundial]

then yeah just wait for a fix unfortunately

[lime falcon]

My rage is palpable and unmeasurable. Not towards you though

[dire cargo]

did you try to use a second character to put and pull thing in the vault ? might fix it ?

and server did restart not long ago might be related

[celest dagger]

can someone help me to farm this

[celest island]

;lfg

[maiden turtle]

is the Unstable Cores not going away at the end of this season?

[unborn cloak]

They're disappearing with Renegades apparently

[marsh whale]

wait so with the power changes now we always stuck being slightly weaker than enemies ? bruh

[lone oracle]

what is the point of unstoppable cores rn if they are getting removed and has removed it from infusing

[ebon lily]

You can remove the timer and just plink away at enemies at higher difficulty now

Scoring is easier from what I can tell as well

But it’s actually so dumb cause i’m -25 instead of -8 now and it feels horrible to play (comparatively)

[marsh whale]

yeah so sad

[steel sundial]

they havent been removed from infusing yet i’m pretty sure

[lone oracle]

they have

[steel sundial]

oh dude what

wtf is the point then

[celest island]

🤨

They aren't removed

[lone oracle]

i had to use enchantment for infuse

[stone fulcrum]

so now like

you gotta play everything on master with modifiers and stuff

to get more power?

is that it?

[drifting plinth]

yes

[flint thicket]

How do I put stuff in the vault

[open stirrup]

why is just 1 quickplay list there now?

they removed difficulties?

[fierce spear]

They removed the low level ones because now everyone is 300

[open stirrup]

oh i see

its better tho

[ebon lily]

Yeah and they didn’t implement high level ones so now they still end up taking away bonus engrams

[marsh whale]

is the only way to get brightdust now just from season pass and free weekly ?

[steel sundial]

seasonal challenges, eververse engrams

[steel sundial]

on what platform

[shell nova]

how many new catalysts are out this week

[flint thicket]

pc but figured out now

[steel sundial]

i’m hearing one

[stone fulcrum]

is this worth getting from the tower thing

or can someone recommend one idk

[iron skiff]

Does anyone have any good solo dps strats for zoetic lockset on titan?

[twin peak]

juju is alright

[steel sundial]

its okay

[twin peak]

are you using ur forsaken ciphers?

or just regular ciphers for something

[stone fulcrum]

uhhh

i got the exotic cipher from xur

and im using it at the tower?

i think

yeah

[sharp kraken]

the armor in the chest next to zavala is 1 per account or per character?

[twin peak]

try getting agers

actually what are you looking for

pve or pvp?

[stone fulcrum]

pve

[steel sundial]

nevermind its all of em

[twin peak]

agers it is

simple in what it does

[boreal smelt]

Can someone help get me to a high light level and help me get the exotic khvostov 7g-0x?

Just dm me if you want to help me

[steel sundial]

you shouldnt need a certain light level to get it

[dire cargo]

per account , but other character will take it into account for future drop ( power level is acccount wide)

[sudden egret]

Khvostov is just collecting a bunch of stuff

[boreal smelt]

Ik I want both of them I want high light level and the khvostov 7g-0x I want both of them that's what I am talking about

[twin peak]

what light level are you anyways?

oh

[sudden egret]

Just do portal stuff for light level

[twin peak]

no more caldera mines right?

[sudden egret]

Reclaim gives good drops

[boreal smelt]

218 or 219 light level

It is one of them

[little pewter]

you can increase your PL to 300 by visiting a chest near zavala

[dire cargo]

go to the tower and claim the chest near blue man ( zavala) , it will give you a full 300 set

[boreal smelt]

I want high light level to make this easier and what chest do you mean the armor or what or a chest by like the thing you can loot

[steel sundial]

theres a chest in the tower next to zavala

[boreal smelt]

Because ik there's no chest there

[steel sundial]

it gets you to 300 power immediately

or at least somewhere near zavala i havent logged in yet tbh

[boreal smelt]

question do you have to do a quest to get it

[steel sundial]

no

it’s free

[dire cargo]

the chest ? no

[steel sundial]

power also doesnt matter in patrol of the pale heart (which is where you do the things to get khvostov)

[twin peak]

will it matter for the cysts?

[steel sundial]

no

[boreal smelt]

Oh yea echo of beat cancer is it the lost city you were talking about or the last city

[steel sundial]

even if it did afaik theyre 200 power

[steel sundial]

last city, the tower

[twin peak]

then a yt vid and a visit to big blue should be all they need

[boreal smelt]

Ok on Google it's saying about the lost city and nothing about the last city

[twin peak]

high chance on ai overview

[twin peak]

head to the tower

[boreal smelt]

Im not online but okay

Just dm me the steps

[twin peak]

for khvostov?

[stone fulcrum]

this or tommy's matchbook? which one is better
the latter has infinite ammo so like

idk

Or not is sorry

[boreal smelt]

For the armor about heading to the tower

[twin peak]

^

[dire cargo]

go to the tower , go to zavala , and on your left there is a chest

[boreal smelt]

I'll check

[twin peak]

tommy’s is usually for titan war rig shenanigans
agers helps for pretty much ad clear

[boreal smelt]

Moty dm me it so I don't forget okay

About the chest

[steel sundial]

you just have to go to the tower and get it

[twin peak]

and you can ask again here

[boreal smelt]

Ik

[dire cargo]

if you say pls

[boreal smelt]

Plz

[steel sundial]

special weapons are usually something you absolutely want in your build and you will generate enough ammo to sustain them if you use them effectively

[boreal smelt]

Dm the instructions for the chest plz

[twin peak]

it is just going to zavala

[boreal smelt]

screams

screams because im annoyed

[dark mango]

its literally right next to zavala

cant miss it

[steel sundial]

those are the instructions man

[boreal smelt]

Lol

I'll have to check I already said that

[dire cargo]

i litteraly dmed you the step

[boreal smelt]

Okay

[hazy stump]

hows this weapon? i havent played d2 in... a very long time

[steel sundial]

still decent tbh

[hazy stump]

wont complain

i dont really know whats happening rn iirc i was using an infinite strand build with nezaracs sin but idk if it was working

i swapped to contraverse hold

[steel sundial]

stat check

[hazy stump]

what u wanna see

been forever

[steel sundial]

whole spread probably

[hazy stump]

armor weapons etc?

[stiff flint]

Is there a place I can see all armor sets available this season exclusively?

[steel sundial]

they removed that ability

[steel sundial]

no like your stat spread

[errant gate]

Is the Halloween event back? And is super black with it? ❤️

[hazy stump]

oh jesus its been so long sorry

[steel sundial]

next week and we dont know

[errant gate]

Thanks

[steel sundial]

hm yeah should be fine for nez sin tbh

[hazy stump]

what was the website for calculatingg it

also what are suggested spreads for nez sin

sorry ive legit been back for 20 minutes im trying to get my bearings

[steel sundial]

you can use dim or d2edge stats

[steel sundial]

depends on the build but if you’re going for a threadling build you’re probably better off with swarmers

[hazy stump]

idk whats good ive switched to devour but im not really feeling it

[steel sundial]

on prismatic?

[hazy stump]

what is prismatic 💀

[steel sundial]

oh boy

[hazy stump]

yeah i quit during final shape

[steel sundial]

prismatic is the final shape subclass

[hazy stump]

sorry

the one before

[steel sundial]

anyway contraverse hold + axion bolt is really good right now actually

[sterile steeple]

is there a chance to nab tier 5s @ 350 power?

[hazy stump]

ill give it a try

[steel sundial]

i do not believe so

maybe from events

[hazy stump]

grenade prio ofc, what else would i want for stats tho

[rancid fern]

Yes, but it’s only a chance from prime engrams (which drop every 5-20 runs now depending on bonus drops).
Alternatively Kepler offers a weekly T5 drop I believe.

[willow hearth]

are either young ahamkara's or orpheus worth running over grapples? don't have a good class item, not sure whether to play hunter or warlock

[steel sundial]

200 grenade is the big one maybe a bit of super

[hazy stump]

wait its 200 now instead of 100?

[steel sundial]

yas is pretty good

[sterile steeple]

how common are tier 4s @ 350 power?

[steel sundial]

as common as prime engrams are

[hardy blade]

Can the all the Wolfsbane catalysts be done in one run?

[steel sundial]

because thats how you get them

[fathom marten]

Two are still time gated, I believe. Once those gates are gone, probably

[drifting plinth]

theya re not timegated

all are gettable

[sterile steeple]

i thought they disappeared (the timegates did) this week

[fathom marten]

H

[fathom marten]

https://youtu.be/L6gSVkd9oro?si=6i13Ezczpkha_mi4

[hollow oak]

uh..... where they go

[steel sundial]

thats how it be now

you select the difficulty in there methinks

[hollow oak]

nope its only normal. wont lemme click it

wait

do I have to beat that stupid tutorial

actually I dont even see that anymore

yeah I can change difficulty on normal ones but not quickplay

[round stirrup]

When is the Halloween event? I thought it was today

[steel sundial]

next week

[round stirrup]

Fug alright

[hollow oak]

fireteam mode is also stuck in normal

[steel sundial]

i think thats what its supposed to be

[hollow oak]

thats dumb

I wanna have it auto play random missions not make me pick one every time

[steel sundial]

though im not sure i heard someone saying sometjing about matchmaking higher difficulties

[hollow oak]

great so theres a chance bungie just made the randomize option trash

[harsh jackal]

is there a rule i can follow when dismantling armor

[steel sundial]

health sucks for pve
if its a tier 2 or lower you can dismantle it
other than that look for the stats and tertiaries you need for your biuld

[willow hearth]

solo ops still the way to level?

[steel sundial]

reclaim

[willow hearth]

deadass? Hooray!

[steel sundial]

fireteam ops

[spice yacht]

So when fighting calus, what do I do when inherit darkness pops up

[drifting plinth]

i think you need to move from the area you're currently in

i dont remember well bc i now just kill him so fast whenever i help someone do it that it doesn't become an issue

[spice yacht]

Could you possibly help me out 😅

First ttime for me also do we get to keep stand?

[grizzled vine]

Did they change some voice acting in edge of fate?

[formal plinth]

Is the Witcher set not in store yet?

[fierce spear]

Yes

[steel sundial]

you missed it

[formal plinth]

I mean for silver

[steel sundial]

it always has been

[formal plinth]

I don’t see it or I can’t find it

[steel sundial]

you looked in archive?

[formal plinth]

Yeah

[steel sundial]

then yeah you missed it

it was

[spice yacht]

Could anyone help me out with calus

[steel sundial]

[formal plinth]

Should I get Lightfall or Edge of Fate first?

when I have the money of course-

[steel sundial]

lightfall is like $3

[formal plinth]

99 for me

That’s around 23 USD

[steel sundial]

oh the legacy collection would be a much better deal

[formal plinth]

Yeah still somewhat pricey in my country though. I’ll wait until I got money :p

[twin peak]

both on regular solar sure

u can stick with liars on pris if u want

[steel sundial]

orpheus on solar?

[twin peak]

dagnabit

read ophidia

been using it for gambit so much

super regen on pris is decent for orpheus right?

[formal plinth]

It's not there at the moment, I even filtered for bundles

[fathom marten]

Archive changes

Took me a while to realize that too

It's not an actual archive

[steel sundial]

im pretty sure it was there last week

[fathom marten]

Ye

[steel sundial]

like for the whole time it was for bd

[fathom marten]

But now it's not

[steel sundial]

yeah so thats what i told them

[formal plinth]

I guess I lucked out since I only started playing yesterday

will it be back soon?

[steel sundial]

likely no

[formal plinth]

shouldn't they just add every previous armor sets selling for silver in the archive?

kinda weird

[prime drum]

what is the current d2 meta in pvp and pve

[steel sundial]

there are many many answers to that question depending on your class and what activities you’re playing

and your playstyle

[little pewter]

your intent with them also matters, dps? add clear? team support (if relevant)?

[prime drum]

warlock crucible

[steel sundial]

thats pretty much entirely up to you
void lock with contraverse hold and axion bolts are pretty strong right now though

[formal plinth]

how often does the archive store rotate?

[steel sundial]

i’m not sure but likely every month or so

[fathom marten]

Fully rotate? Unknown. It's more like individual parts of it change, mostly which sets are available. The main things that change are the Seasonal Offerings, which change with every reward pass, and whatever the Bright Dust listings are for a given week.

[cedar hill]

did they not make bonus engrams drop at +power

[formal plinth]

Anyone got a good Solar Hunter build?

[rose gulch]

I heard it was possible to buy exotic class item from the Festival of the lost event at one point in time. Will this upcomming 2025 event have this option as well? (Dont really want to do dual destiny)

[fathom marten]

Unknown

[rose gulch]

do you know if the class item in the shop was a one time thing or did it happen multiple times?

[fathom marten]

It's only happened once so far

If it is going to return, we will probably know on Thursday

[rose gulch]

Dang, thank you doe

[marsh whale]

how to do spark defender seasonal challenge ? it says score points in rift but where is rift ?

[fathom marten]

Rift is a pvp game mode. It used to rotate in and out throughout a season but now with the portal I've got no clue what's happening with it

[maiden turtle]

anyone know how to fix this issue? my friend gets online and i see her come online but i cant see her when i want to invite to a fireteam or anything so i have to wait for her to invite me instead

we even have eachother as bungie friends

[maiden mirage]

can someone taxi me through empire hunts that drop cloudstrike?

[marsh whale]

so is it still in the portal or nah ?

[fathom marten]

🤷

[marsh whale]

how much shields and health combined do guardians have in pvp ?

[verbal hollow]

do dragonfly and destabilizing rounds kills count for kill tracker? or are they like voltshot

[zealous ibex]

Can you get exotic dungeon weapons from portal activities or no you have to do the actual dungeon instead of a portal

[drifting plinth]

230

[drifting plinth]

you cannot get them from portal

[scenic matrix]

what role should i go for with the boomslang

from vanguard

[zealous ibex]

Ah dang

Thanks

[drifting plinth]

second one, but the gun just isn't great

[floral python]

can i edit the modifiers for this so i can get t5 from it?

[sudden egret]

no

[modern root]

can I keep farming the 1st encounter of root for the armor?

[maiden mirage]

I cant see any empire hunts? Im on europan Explorer 2

[grizzled vine]

What power do I need to be for guaranteed tier 4s?

[tulip oar]

They're quests you pick up from Variks

[ember bay]

has techsec armor ever been a bonus focus drop since ash and iron?

in solo ops*

[celest dagger]

can anyone help me to farm the vow exotics

pls

i want it sobad

[maiden mirage]

can i still abuse the private match quick matches for playlist catalysts?

[warm steeple]

been away a bit... was weekly update today? and if so did that come with the free 300 light level boost? if so how do you claim it

[fathom marten]

Probably

[fathom marten]

Yes, by Zavala in the tower

[hearty owl]

Is moirai good

[marsh whale]

i did heliostat quest and got some catalysts for wolfsbane

but it still says it requires purchase

what does that mean ?

does that mean i need the most recent expansion or something

[granite pagoda]

i use to play on psn now im on pc but cross save isnt working and i set everything up right

can any1 help me?

[tulip oar]

Screenshot your cross save settings page

[granite pagoda]

okay

[crystal moss]

Does unbreakable get buffed by the grenade stat

[granite pagoda]

i want to use the psn account on my pc :((

does being signed in on psn matter?

[tulip oar]

So, that's not your cross save settings page

[granite pagoda]

oooufff

ahhhhhhhh

[tulip oar]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave

[tulip oar]

Scroll down so the characters are visible

[vital hinge]

As someone who has barely played this expansion, I am sitting at 206 power. Should I pick up the techsec supply drop thats at 300 power or wait? Would it potentially benefit me more if I grinded to a certain number THAN picked it up, maybe it scales?

[tulip oar]

And to be clear, by "isn't working" you mean when you log into Destiny 2 on Steam you don't see that Warlock and it's asking you to create a character?

[tulip oar]

It's always going to be 300

There's no value to waiting

[vital hinge]

thank you!

[granite pagoda]

yes

[marsh whale]

how come i got mine at 317, did everyone also get it at 317 ?

[tulip oar]

Your base power was almost certainly 317

Its purpose is to catch people up

[granite pagoda]

excatly before it told me to scan a qr code to use said psn account i do and it wouldnt let me use it

[marsh whale]

ah ok

[tulip oar]

You only have one Steam account and this is the only Steam account you've ever used, right?

[granite pagoda]

yes, this is my first pc

im guessing im screwed because I accepted thinking it would go to the character screen for my psn but it made me make a new person lol

[tulip oar]

Restart your PC, and if that doesn't help, you'll need to try bungie.net's help forums. This is a fairly common issue but no one who has ever worked around it has reported back how they did so in here so somewhere with actual Bungie reps will be a better bet

[granite pagoda]

okay thanks man :))

[hardy blade]

Does wolfsbane need to be equipped to get the catalyst?

[waxen ibex]

If you're over 300 it gives a power boost

If you're under 300 it gives 300

[sudden egret]

catalysts no, intrinsics yes

[marsh whale]

i did heliostat quest and got some catalysts for wolfsbane
but it still says it requires purchase
what does that mean ?
does that mean i need the most recent expansion or something

[deft granite]

Increase your weapon level

It defaults to “Requires Purchase” because now you actually have the catalyst

And doesn’t stick to the weapon level you need to get it

[hearty owl]

What’s a good strand weapon

[sudden egret]

Mint

Or do you mean PvP?

[granite pagoda]

fourms didnt even help smh

[twin peak]

whoa

[granite pagoda]

and i cant sign out of the profile im on destiny 2 just immediately goes to playing the game.

[twin peak]

oh old convo

[tulip oar]

Reaaaaaaally didn't need to ping the Admin role on that. Have you bought any DLC yet?

[granite pagoda]

sorry

old dlc from psn i havent bought anything

[tulip oar]

So nothing on Steam yet?

[granite pagoda]

naaah

[tulip oar]

Uninstall the Steam version and download D2 from the MS Store on PC

Quickest workaround I can think of

[granite pagoda]

okay

[tulip oar]

You've already got Xbox/MS set up on cross save

And because you haven't launched it, it doesn't have any sort of character set up pre-CS yet

[granite pagoda]

just xbox

[tulip oar]

Xbox = Microsoft Store

At least for characters and Silver

[granite pagoda]

i hope it works

[tulip oar]

If it doesn't work then you linked the wrong accounts somehow.

[granite pagoda]

kinda insane considering the fact i only played it on psn. onnce again sorry for pining admis

[tulip oar]

You didn't launch it on Steam before setting up Cross Save?

[granite pagoda]

never

[hearty owl]

When will that be farmable again

[nocturne shoal]

having issues logging into the game on xbox. shouldnt there have been a game update in the microsoft store as a result of todays maintenance?

[tulip oar]

If you never, ever, under any circumstance, launched Destiny 2 on PC before configuring Cross Save, then you have multiple Steam accounts and linked the wrong one

[tulip oar]

If you're getting a Cat error code then you need to force a check for updates

[solar jasper]

To make sure you have the patch once it becomes available to you, make sure to:
Xbox Consoles - Restart your console before attempting to launch the game after the patch is out. It should prompt you for an update.
Playstation - Restart your console before forcing your Playstation to check for updates after the patch is out.
Steam - Go to the Downloads screen (click Manage Downloads at the bottom of the window). Click the gear icon in the top right corner. Then clear download cache.
Microsoft Store (PC Game Pass):

• Launch the Microsoft Store.
• If you have the old Store (Windows 10 and not in any Insider Previews) - click the menu button in the top right corner, then Downloads and Updates.
• If you have the new Store (either running Windows 11 or Windows 10 Release Preview) - click the library button in the bottom left corner.
• Then click the Get Updates button.

• For patch notes, check here

[tulip oar]

If you're getting an error other than Cat, you will need to look up the error code on help.bungie.net

[nocturne shoal]

where do I get the error code. Im just sitting on the screen right before the character menu

[tulip oar]

You would get an error message

With a code

[sudden egret]

It’s always farmable. If you mean featured, it’s random

[tulip oar]

If you're just sitting on a loading screen you just gotta keep waiting

[nocturne shoal]

I just get this

It never prompted to update even after a soft and hard restart

[tulip oar]

Yeah, then you haven't hit an error yet so it's likely unrelated to today's update.

When you say hard restart you mean you shut it down fully unplugged for 30 seconds and then plugged back in and booted up?

[nocturne shoal]

Correct unplugged for 5 minutes even

Other games that need net work just fine

[tulip oar]

Then if you've been on that screen for multiple minutes then most likely the game isn't able to open the ports it's trying to, so I'd suggest rebooting your router

[steel sundial]

what xbox are you on?

[nocturne shoal]

I'll try that

[nocturne shoal]

One

[tulip oar]

Even if they're on a launch xbone using the internal hard drive that wouldn't explain it

That said, if you are on a launch xbone with the game installed to the internal hard drive, go get a USB SSD or even a USB hard drive. The xbone's internal connector for the hard drive is slower than USB 3.

[nocturne shoal]

menu selections are a little delayed now so wondering if it is disk errors

[granite pagoda]

okay im launching the game on xbox, wish me luck lol

yay, it worked!

thanks mcgee

[glacial hawk]

which Unyielding Handle did you guys choose for Wolfsbane?

[marsh whale]

just go do pinnacle ops i think

[weak cave]

how to unlock europan explorer 2? I have 1 showing

[marsh whale]

i did heliostat quest and got some catalysts for wolfsbane
but it still says it requires purchase
what does that mean ?
does that mean i need the most recent expansion or something

[unborn cloak]

level up your weapon

[marsh whale]

how much

[unborn cloak]

to like 20 i would guess

[marsh whale]

bruh

[unborn cloak]

i havent done it personally but you should get your crafted guns to 20 anyway

since thats when they get the extra stats and all the enhanced perks

[marsh whale]

really ? i feel like i did that with outbreak perfected and nothing happened

in lfg how do i get people to join me, i thought it was by username but that seems to never work

[flint thicket]

You also need to have the intrinsics

[tulip oar]

Not sure which one it is (if you send images of your full quests list we can try to verify) but you have a post-campaign quest for BL incomplete still

[weak cave]

only one i can think of is these but online said its not a requirement so i wasnt sure

[tulip oar]

Yeah, those are definitely not it, which is why I was suggesting you send the full quests list

[weak cave]

heres them all

[tulip oar]

Empire's Fall

[weak cave]

oh so i need to do another one to unlock that? i thought i needed to do europan 1-2 for it

but ig that makes sense

[tulip oar]

Not sure what you're asking. You need Europan Explorer II for the empire hunts you launch from the map. You need to do 2 sabotages to complete Empire's Fall which is a post-campaign quest and is at least one factor in why you can't see the rest of the sabotages. Discord was crapping out so I couldn't view the other images at full size.

Lost Lament and Stasis Prototype would be other things to try if Empire's Fall doesn't help, but I'm pretty sure those aren't unlock triggers for Sabotages

[weak cave]

ah i meant i want to unlock cloudsrike and the pre req was to get these done. europan 1-2 was part of it it said

[rigid juniper]

Question:
Where i can get the armor from Season of Dawn as loot that isn't the past season altar ?
I'm askin cos the Hunter has 2 piece and buying from the altar would be 60, and that's cursed

[tulip oar]

You specifically mean the armor and not the ornaments, right?

[rigid juniper]

Correct

[tulip oar]

Then Xur's your guy

[rancid fern]

Now that ultimate difficulty is now capped at 470, what is the point in reaching 550?

[rigid juniper]

Do the armor go randomly or are in a rotation ?
If the later it would be easier for my brain, lol

[tulip oar]

I haven't seen anyone suggest it's anything other than random

[rigid juniper]

o7
Thanks, the weekly check in beggin then lol

[weak cave]

you think this one i just got?

[tulip oar]

Again not sure what you're asking

[weak cave]

ah to unlock the sabotages

[tulip oar]

Do you mean for Empire's Fall?

Or are you asking because you completed Empire's Fall and still aren't seeing it?

[weak cave]

I finished empires fall. But the screens the same

[tulip oar]

Well, it depends. Were you given The Dark Priestess in a "This is a new quest" prompt or did you pick it up next to the other empire hunts at Variks?

[weak cave]

i got it after empire hunts was turned in

[tulip oar]

Well I don't what you mean so go for it, I guess.

If that doesn't help, hit up bungie.net's help forums.

[hearty owl]

Is scared provenance good

[woven tree]

mid archetype

[high lily]

Good perks but yea as merlin said, bad archetype

But it's better than Blast Furnace

[weak cave]

nope that got it!

[hearty owl]

Any handcanons in the primary slot with incandescent

[dark mango]

incan is on solar guns only so no

[hearty owl]

What does dragon fly do

[dark mango]

precision kills make an elemental explosion matching the element of the gun

[hearty owl]

Oh

Is there not smth like incandescent

Not requiring precision hits

[dark mango]

for solar guns or in general?

[hearty owl]

In general

[dark mango]

jolting feedback, voltshot, destabilizing rounds, kinetic tremors, ancillary ordinance are all splash perks that don’t require precision

[hearty owl]

Alr thx

[woven tree]

also a new perks, corpse bloom

hatcling also doesnt require headshot

[worn aurora]

Any tips on which Boomslang from Zavala has the best perks?

[woven tree]

pretty much all of it are mid, but if you need one due to not having a legendary burst linear, 2nd are pretty ok

[worn aurora]

Ok thats what I was thinking

[woven tree]

1st or 2nd depending if you want faster charge uptime but lesser damage, or longer charge uptime but more damage

[worn aurora]

Im still not sure which perks are considered the best.

[woven tree]

rapid hit, precision instrument

it has pretty good precision damage, but its very difficult to maintain

[keen glen]

With song of fire, do u typically actually use the melee + grenade or just use it for the weapon buffs

or both

[woven tree]

thats why its consider very mid

song of flame?

[keen glen]

Warlock super

[verbal hollow]

are all my hawthorne engrams supposed to be tier 1? i swear they used to be tier 5

[woven tree]

melee + grenade skill are pretty good for adds clear and bursting down majors

[keen glen]

what about boss

[lucid shell]

what do u believ would have more dps?

[worn aurora]

If im running arc build would rolling storm be worth it?

[woven tree]

in some cases, if you are running tractor support, some peeps tend to run song of flame + a perfect paradox for side sub dps

[woven tree]

2nd deals more dps
1st deals more total damage

[dark mango]

depends on the activity but usually you want to do a mix of both

[worn aurora]

Take that as a no?

[dark mango]

no

[worn aurora]

Ty

I appreciate your time and knowledge!

[keen glen]

And lets say im using a grenade launcher such as outrageous fortune to damage against a raid boss, i would assume the main usage would be using it to buff my weapon?

[woven tree]

no

[keen glen]

?

[woven tree]

if thats the case, running well will be better

[keen glen]

Mk, so in what scenario would song be better

[dark mango]

when you’re using tractor

[keen glen]

if im running tractor, or someone else?

[dark mango]

you

[keen glen]

How come?

[woven tree]

if you already have a well in your team
If your team need weaken but no hunter -> so you run tractor and song of flame for that melee spam to proc trench for perfect paradox

[dark mango]

tractor + trench barrel rotation puts out solid damage

otherwise song is not worth using over well or a damage super like nova

[keen glen]

Ight, thank you very much then, probs gonna end up using well, when i do raids then

[woven tree]

overall cases, sof is a super for bursting down majors/adds clear, its super solid for these use case due to roaming super = super fast regen

[worn aurora]

Would Queenbreaker be better than this boomslang?

[dire cargo]

heya , quick question about exotic engrams , i have 4 saved up , i see some exotic that i'd like to try and get and that should be rewarded from random engram if light.gg is to be trusted , but right clicking exotic engram in my inventory sho'w me only a selct few exotic ( wich i all have) . is the selection shown just for show or do i miss a step?

[keen glen]

Yeah that makes sense, i would use nova but i dont have a nova build nor know one xD

Thank yall very much for the help

[woven tree]

queen breaker are not very punishing to use, but deals lower dps compare to boomslang

[hearty owl]

What’s a good Pve void weapon that’s not lance

[woven tree]

also queen breaker in current sand box are very bad

[dark mango]

outside of raids song is the best super btw, insane DR + ability spam will keep you alive in low light content like conquests

[worn aurora]

Ty again

[woven tree]

exotic? legendary?

[keen glen]

Oh okie, chill then, ive been using it since i got it + sunbreakers for grenade spam as i typically play solo

[dark mango]

choir of one

[worn aurora]

Im trying to figure out which pve exotics are worth it for primary

[woven tree]

primary ammo? or primary slot?

[worn aurora]

Primary ammo

[dark mango]

sunshot, grav lance, trinity ghoul

[hearty owl]

Preferably legendary

[dark mango]

the holy trinity of ad clear

[woven tree]

reckless oracle, ancient gosple

[worn aurora]

All im missing is trinity ghoul

[keen glen]

Navigator, whilst im here and before i go to sleep, Will outrageous fortune ( Enviours arsenal & bait and switch ) be good enough for raid boss damage as i use choir of one

[worn aurora]

Is ticuu's any good?

[dark mango]

with mint yes

[keen glen]

Double special?

[dark mango]

it’s easier now more than ever

[keen glen]

how come

[dark mango]

ammo bar and weapons stat

[woven tree]

its mid, but it can have its own fun

[dark mango]

you don’t need it but outrageous on its own is not comparable to mint parasite / auger

[woven tree]

can be viable in high end difficulty

[keen glen]

parasite/auger?

[worn aurora]

My mint retrograde is it alright?

[dark mango]

parasite or auger

depends on the boss

[keen glen]

oh the guns, my bad, thought u meant a weapen perk

What perks do you want on mint then, and what gamemode do u farm it from?

[woven tree]

you want rewind round with either bns/elemental honinh on it

[dark mango]

ideally u want rewind honing but this is fine for general use

[dark mango]

like i said rewind honing, it drop from any pinnacle op activity

@woven tree grrr

[worn aurora]

Then thats what ill aim for now thanks

[keen glen]

can it be the focus ( i think focus is the right one) on a pinnacle activity?

[dark mango]

yes

the focus reward is randomly chosen each day

[keen glen]

Mk, so i need to farm one of those then too, ty, is there anything special about using mint+outrageous together?

[dark mango]

mint is just insanely overtuned rn, using both in your rotation will extend the life of your heavy ammo which u need for bosses with longer dps phases

[woven tree]

nothing really special about it, tho people tend to pair it with other heavy with mint such as parasit or augers

oh yeah

[keen glen]

So it would just be activating bait and switch on Outrageous and dumping that, then switching to mint and using that, then switching back as envious should of reloaded it?

[woven tree]

also tractor

mint with tractor/parasite/augers

[tidal merlin]

Do you guys have unstable core issues? I don't know what they're talking about, I always have too many.

[unborn sluice]

How do I get the hunter exotic gifted conviction? Everything I saw said through Rahool but when I go to decode with him, it says I have to unlock in collections first

[woven tree]

very inconsistent to proc if thats the case since env arsenal has timer

[woven tree]

turn to the second page

[keen glen]

Oh okie, sorry if its a bother but would u be able to provide a more accurate description of what i would do during damage phase then?

[worn aurora]

Wayy to many

[woven tree]

1st page is for focusing it with exotic engram and ascendant shared after you unlock it in collection
2nd page is for unlocking it with exotic engram and cipher to unlock it

[woven tree]

Mint with outragous?

[keen glen]

Yep, i do apologise for all the questions and stuff btw, just tryna get my head around stuff, only returned back to the game after a 3-4 year break recently

[dark mango]

proc bait and switch in the gl, dump the entire mag, swap to the other weapon that isn’t mint, dump mint briefly (if you have rewind rounds shoot as much as you want if you have envious arsenal dump just 1 mag), swap to gl, repeat

[unborn sluice]

Thank you! So the first page if I wanted to keep rolling it for different stats? Are exotics capped at the total stats they can provide?

[woven tree]

i think max stats you can get is 63

[dark mango]

i’ll admit this is a lot more convoluted than mint parasite/auger and it does less dmg overall than those

[woven tree]

its between 58-63 somewhere that value

[worn aurora]

Whisper of the worm .. what is it good for

[woven tree]

precision damage

[keen glen]

Only issue then is i also have to find a wepaon to swap in for choir of one 😭

[worn aurora]

Boss precision?

[dark mango]

not really used right now outside of oryx

[woven tree]

iits good for those boss that has very easy weak spot like oryx in kingsfall

[dark mango]

i’m not crazy

[woven tree]

[keen glen]

Merlin is second for me too

[woven tree]

[dark mango]

nice ai generated

[dark mango]

[woven tree]

[worn aurora]

Leviathan breath? Wolfsbane?

[keen glen]

Would you say im probably better off for raids farming a different secondary other than choir and using Parasite

[woven tree]

wolfs bane are good for bosses like crota

[keen glen]

(dont got the dungeon for augur)

[dark mango]

yes

[keen glen]

Any suggestions?

[worn aurora]

Trying to figure out what heavies I should be using
