arc knockout or solar bonk with 3 heavy handed or something
Ursa Furiosa with Sentinel Shield and Unbreakable
How good is shiver strike (stasis titan melee) in PvE? I was thinking of a fun build with it
yeah i also changed the helmet attributes to orbs of power with kinetic wepaons and got it done super fast, thanks!
bad
Ok
best weapon against zoetic lockkeeper sundered dungeon?
anarchy
Yeah
V I O L E N C E =)
I can't activate the left one?
It does, the cooldown is super long without stacking 3 of them though
Triple firepower on getaway artist build makes a lowkey disgusting amount of orbs though
Pretty much guaranteed one orb a second just from firepower
Chaos reach/grapple punch lol
lmao i used chunk
what am i doing wrong?
kerrev only gets half shield damage and not full
Wait chunking actually works on lockset?
yeah
I just kinda assumed it wouldn't because it's a scuffed proxy boss ngl
all i did was staying bottom one of lockset and just fly up then chunk
and over over
do you know why kerrev only gets half shield break 😭
i just light up 3 stuff on one side
idk what im doing wrong
ohh
You get half when you do mechanics wrong
do i have to light up what truthspeaker shows?
ah
You have to turn off the true statement and turn on the false one
Of the two shown on the main wheel
does harmonic scavenger costs 2 energy , thats problematic
Behind the boss
So it takes changing up to six symbols depending on of they started on/off
hmm
Truthseeker just shows you which of the two statements shown on the main wheel are true
So the statement containing that symbol make sure all 3 are off and vice versa
so i have to deactivate what kerrev's riddle shows?
So like the left side's is a truth and the right isn't
In this example
You'd want it to be like this before submitting it
i see
trying my best to understand, this is complicated lmao
These are lined up horizontally and read top to bottom like how they'd show on the wheel, just turn whichever one of these is on one of the wheel sides off and then the other three on the wheel on
It's pretty chill once you get it but a little tedious going between the rooms
oh so like these that are light up, witch queen gives dark which is true?
I see i see
You're putting a lie in to break the shield
is there an Epic Desert Perpetual loot table?
Also for damage if chunking doesn't work just stand in the back of the room at one of the high spots on the wall and spam him with heavy snipe or something
aight ty
how are the modifiers for new dungeons and raids called again?
Hobgob is GL, wyvern is shotgun, hydra is support auto, koregos doesn't drop any of them
Nobody bothered making a loot table since the focusing system lets you just bypass that whole system outright and gives every encounter the ability to drop x piece of gear
The epic raid guns also drop in normal tdp once you attune
wdym koregos drops none?
like no new weapons?
Like the 3 epic raid guns aren't farmable at koregos unless you attuned to one of them
what abt armor?
The armor just replaces the normal raid armor in the loot tables
So it's the same as the normal table for what slots are at which boss
Epic raid armor also drops in normal raid if you attune I believe lol
whats the highest stat roll the new exotic armor can roll with?
gotcha thank you
For all exotics except class item, those are static
why is pyramid kill worm true?
Rhulk was using a worm god to power the upended or something
because the pyramid killed worms
ohh okay, tyty
you run past a bunch of dead worms going to final
no
Hazardous propulsion’s damage bonus works on micro missle grenade launchers right?
tyty
It should work for mountaintop and friends yeah
Ok, I have a gizmo weft with slice I wanted to try out with my build, thank you for the info
Anyone know the best way to farm relativism besides dual destiny, I’m a solo player
After you get your first class item you can farm it via strange coins thru xur or farm it through overthrows
Dual destiny farming is the fastest method but the others are viable
Overthrows are super fast with chunking rn at least
Bet awesome tysm, tryna get my god roll for this specific class
If you're doing overthrows just do the matchmade one since there's usually at least one person
Finish the overthrow as fast as possible and during the 5 minute cooldown period where there are no enemies loop in circles and farm the chests around the map
Each overthrow chest you open raises your class item drop rate from every pale heart chest until you drop a class item iirc is how it works
You usually get a class item every one or two overthrows
Felt like a 50/50 to get it after the first and I'd usually get it after the second otherwise
Awesome your such a huge help I didn’t know overthrows in Rees the chance of pale heart chest drops that’s so cool
Strange coins are also viable if you've got strangest favor already
Otherwise it's prolly too slow
Bet
Plus only doable on weekend
what kind of design is this called of rhulk, witness, winnower and nezarec looks
including their buildings, its like modern Minimalist
What kind of design ?
like look at him, he looks different than most old raids bosses. i cant describe what i mean lmao
Portal activity completions give them
With strangest favor it's like 4-6 per
Dynamic sway or keep away on immortal
They also drop from champions in portal activities but I found the fastest source to just be spamming fast stuff like trials
Keep away is better on paper but you might want DSR to handle the recoil of agg frame smgs
i guess you could call it abstract looking
Depends on preference
I don't really know controller recoil
Rangefinder is probably the best perk in the 3rd column
I mean, sure, but it's just the work of a good design, to make different factions and enemies memorable.
If you want a clearer insight on the design process, I believe Bungie released multiple ViDocs on the design on RoN, Rhulk, the dread etc.
Where can i find the vidocs?
Since increasing zoom also improves both recoil and accuracy, plus helps controller aim assist function at deeper ranges
And it just gives a lot of range stat
They should be spread around Bungie's website. I am unsure if there is a particular place where they are especially compiled, though they very well might be searchable on their youtube channel
aight ty! its just their design looks interesting, abstracting and others. meanwhile other raid bosses are covered in dirts
is there any way to get eunoia outisde of legendary story eof?
This guy is the last of his species so
I mean I guess it depends how you look at it. I feel like all bosses are generally well polished,designed and all in all memorable
Im unsure I would call dsc or lw "covered in dirt" :p
If you’ve never cleared it, yeah
thx
You can be pulled into sieve without completing campaign
If someone else is party lead and starts it
bet
And sieve always drops the exotic if you clear every stage
why?
he's the only survivor of his race so there's no one to look like him. at least not until they started making subjugators based off of him or he was "reshaped" to look like a subjugator like Nezarec was reborn looking like a tormentor 
i see i see, tyty
he actually was the one to kill the rest of his race 
one of the stacks is old telemetry
im doin the warlord ruin challenge rn and i swapped to a loadout pre encounter forgetting it had non challenge weps... do i have to restart
The triumph for the same challenge specifically only tracks kills
So if it's exactly the same conditions, you don't need to restart unless you got a kill with an illegal weapon type
heat rises gives airborne effectiveness?
Yes and more when it’s active
+20 passively and another +50 with the buff
And those add up to +70 since they're separate
What am I supposed to do?
The other tuning quest, the names don’t match
Hello! im a returning player in a need of some help. Not sure what to expansion/dlc to buy
No
Mister "I read weapon lore" over here
Rhulk was a cool guy
Erm yes I read glaive lore pieces
should Stoicism/Synthoceps deliver the same 50% super increase as Synthoceps Gauntlets?
is arms week ending tomorrow ?
yes
erm is there a way to get unfall anymore or is it in the same boat as mint
how to farm drang?
same as mint, but Indebted still better
you dont
obtainable rn or no?
no
Any tips for finding a pvp match? :P
the class item does not increase super damage
so Spirit of Synthoceps is limited to the 165% melee increase?
yes
usually secondary effects of exotics aren’t carried over on th class item
At this pace I'm never gonna get to complete the catalyst quest for either witherhoard or duality 
does presage pinnacle op drop drang (baroque) and firefright?
Shooting Range > is there some option to spawn ads w/ boss?
no (and firefright is really bad)
drang baroque unobtainable?
fuck
so they made exotic missions in Legends not drop anything anymore? 
those still exist?
of course
i thought they wouldve removed them since theyre in the portal now
no they're still there
so its still a 1/20 something chance to get the weapon, let alone a decent roll
they're not changing the director in any way
anyone know if you can get rose from the strange weapon engrams from xur?
no
closest thing you can get to that is 1st encounter of warlords ruin
Basically every class item exotic perk is a nerfed version of the original to justify getting two
Haven’t played since the end of the final shape year, should I get the ultimate edition of this year for half price? Is it worth it and do I need the campaign and renegades expansion etc to catchup
I need a good sidearm for pvp thats currently obtainable, any suggestions?
nah edge of fate is buns IMO
I would just get renegades
Is it enough for me to catchup ?
Like I’m not missing out on anything from edge of fate
well personally doing the campaign for edge of fate was insufferable and the loot im not 100% sure but nothing really stood out to me besides graviton spike
definitely worth it for half price
edge of fate also unlocks the best raid + raid exotic in the game aswell as one of the best armor sets in the game
If you want to do the raid you need eof
i got catalyst on choir one where do i haveto go to equip it , i cant find mars rn
Don't buy ultimate edition btw
Just buy year of prophecy
Ultimate edition is a $20 upcharge for a star wars larp suit and an exotic sniper you won't ever use that'll be free for all renegades owners at some point
Throne world = mars
thanks
really ? cus i remember multiple events saying they are ending so i use all my tokens only to realize it's still one like it got reset or something adnt hen it's there for another week or two
ok
What does more damage between Celestial GG and Star Eater Blade Barrage?
Star eater blade barrage is the highest damage super in the game atm but forces you onto a mediocre subclass and is pretty bad if the phase is long enough to super twice
Is Celestial a better exotic overall then?
Oh nvm nighthawk is slightly higher than star eater barrage again anyway
Forgot about the ignition change
and it pairs with still hunt too
Significantly better especially since you can use it on prismatic and don't have to grab orbs to get the buff
Works for still hunt which is really good atm, and easy to loadout swap
Nice, ty! Celestial looks dope too so lol
Anyone know how many head shots it takes for a immortal to kill in PVP?
If you feel like playing just play idk
There's never a good period to play the game if you ask the playerbase
Most of the "content" this year was free too
mid to end of year
There's another 4ish months left in this season and that'd lead up to next year's stuff
just the current one when you get to the free one in the reward pass
It's similar price to renegades alone and gets you everything
In order to use catalyst for choir one i have to use enclave on mars but i need some relic , how do i obtain this and can i do it without witch queen dlc
yes, you just need to do the first two missions or so of witch queen(which are free to access)
understood, thanks for help
i've completed new light, am level 4-5 (i think?) and did a bunch of vanguard strikes last night, but I am still getting level 300 - 305 gear. is progression supposed to be this slow?
Also, am i supposed to feel like i never have special ammo? ive been running two primaries (Riskrunner and a scout rifle) for ages because it just never seems like i find green bricks when i need them in a fight
progression is supposed to be done in the portal
What do you mean by that?
you can get more ammo per brick by having a higher weapon stat
Ah that's interesting, I didn't know that
I select the vanguard missions through the portal

are you keeping or infusing the power gains you get?
for your power to grow you need to have your highest power pieces either on you or in your vault, dismantling them means that progress is lost
The skip to 300 is part of why you're not seeing progress, 1-200 is the power bracket you move up in any content and any higher is from portal rank rewards
Power also doesn't mean what you think it does probably
It's not really an indicator of any real progress
I only dismantle stuff that's low level, but I'm not sure what infusing means
also usually special ammo weapons are meant to be used more sparingly and against tougher foes
With how the game is rn power just lets you access conquests and you want to rush 450 so you can drop T5s
transfering power from one high power item to another lower power item
Like I run a vanguard mission, get some gear thats probably just Ferropotent armor thats somewhere between 300 and 308
It doesn't really impact your gameplay at all
Gear can be infused by feeding it a higher power piece of the same slot to raise it
Or a special gun that i can't use because i never have ammo for it lol
Okay, I should try that
So what matters most is always the roll
Power is kind of just an arbitrary useless number and you wanna keep anything higher so you keep dropping higher
Like I said above raising the power of gear has essentially no impact on your gameplay
Ah i see, not even in a stats sense
An activity will have a power requirement to access it and usually a fixed power delta which caps your max power
So anything higher means nothing
What matters is perk rolls really
That's all you ever care about
The gear tier system for only this year's gear is also a thing
power is "must be this tall to ride"
even at a really low level? basically what im asking is how am i supposed to be progressing efficiently as a new player?

you should grind portal stuff and get to 470 power then
Like for armor higher gear tier does raise stat total
and if I'm following you, the way i get to 470 is by incrementally raising my power by infusing my good gear (drops with good perk rolls) with mission rewards
Ngl the game's weird and you can't really treat it like an mmo, is more about increasing the breadth of your gear options and getting ahold of staple gear
yeah that's basically it
alright that makes sense
it will of course require raising the difficulty of activities in the portal as time goes*
and adding modifiers
I don't think i have many difficulties/modifiers unlocked yet
theres normal and then one option for a grandmaster mission
Ex: for the whole 300-400 power bracket you're expected to play in master difficulty in portal and will drop +4s from a rank clears of any portal activity
they will come as your power increases
any pve portal mission will have a customize button you set all that shit in
Crucible doesn't have that and you just play
You should have up to master difficulty already
And all the modifiers related
Oh I see, I had been only selecting matchmade activities
they are bad cause they have the most dogshittiest modifiers ever
oftentimes
like grounded+deadly void threat on vex
If I select grandmaster difficulty (combatant power 400, your power 306) will all the enemies just be bullet sponges that I can't kill?
How does difficulty actually manifest in this game if it's not really like an MMO?
Kind of
If you look at gm the power cap is 375
So it's a -25 difficulty activity while master is like -15 or whatever
master is -20
the modifiers and champions 
Difficulty is generally represented by power delta which also means you aren't going to over level content
bullet sponges also!!! 
Or just flat out more difficult content mechanically, see dungeons and raids for example
Depends on the content
sometimes its bullet sponges, sometimes its modifiers on the banes
sometimes its raid mechanics.
relatively similar to most MMOs, theres just less bullet sponges than typical
how to hyperblade skate on pc ?
you have to swap weapon basically as soon as you attack bc the second half of the animation kills your speed
No?
Yes?
then you're referring to something different
if you cancel with a different animation (like shatter/wellskating do) that's doing the same thing
saber lets you cancel out of the swing early and keep your speed by blocking or swapping weapon
You can chain them but only if you don't stow it because you'll lose the perk: https://youtu.be/RtbvREeEFrM?si=CMvNXhb1kITvR0Y9
This was a pretty quick showcase of why I believe the new lightsaber weapon, Praxic Blade, and its Hyperblade catalyst is the best movement tool Bungie has released for Destiny 2 in years. Self-proccing the perk hopefully will not get nerfed, as its potential in speeds is super exciting, especially given that we now have an energy slot mountaint...
how fast do i need to swap it ? i can do it with normal heavy sword but not with lightsaber
I don't know the inputs but I'm guessing it's the same as regular Eager Edge
The only real difference being input delay seems a bit tighter on Hyperblade
that bug got shot in the head like a month ago lol
On activation, yes, but not the rest of it
If you activate it normally, you can still skate
the only special thing happening there is if you shatterskate it cancels the animation too early to take away hyperblade
idk how they do it, i cant swap fast like the eager edge heavy sword, it's like it locks me in the animation and only lets me swap after it ends
try cancelling it with deflect if this is for the purpose of just light attacking midair for movement
The input for Hyperblade should be the same as a regular Eager Edge sword, you just don't need to swap because if you do, you'll lose the ability to chain them together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_kfQHC5dMI
Hyperblade Praxic Blade skating in Destiny 2 Renegades, it is kind of fun, not very practical with the buff deactivations (and due to having Eager Edge around), but it looks cool :)
~
My best Destiny 2 video: https://youtu.be/-SjxddQnXIQ
ok you are talking about something totally different
i do not know how to eager edge normally i only know how to eager edge light attack not heavy attack, but u cant even heavy attack on a lightsabver so idk what u are talking about
I don't know what you're talking about but I'm talking about skating
what are the inputs for this ?
Same as a skate just with light attack
for shatterskating with lightsaber you can only light attack
the only reason heavy is important on other swords is the animations lunging further
light/heavy are interchangable as far as making the tech work
Swap to weapon, wait 1 second, heavy/light attack, immediately press jump, immediately press Shatterdive/Well of Radiance
yeah but that's just the normal eager edge im talking about how to do it on the lightsaber
Should be the same thing. The last video I linked does it with a bit of a delay between the swing and the rest of the presses it seems
well it doesnt work for me
You need to light swing
also u cant swap to another weapon or else u will lose the hyperblade effect
that's what im doin
I know
If you can skate regularly it shouldn't be a problem but if you cant it'd probably take more practice
Shatterskate is usually more forgiving than wellskate imo
ohh now i get it
cus im used to titan skating i thought that was similar but it's not
🥀
First time hearing someone using titan skating
can titan still skate with bubble
but you lose bubble
i remember that being a thing
Don’t see why not, they didn’t change the the animation
no just titan light attack skating idk anything else
real ones skate with stasis titan super bc it comes back in 10 seconds anyway
most ppl dont call light attacking midair skating
and titan has nothing special to interact with that
Titans can sword fly, but it’s not skating.
anyway to get any real speed from saber when doing that iirc you need to hold deflect down when light attacking or something
there was a way to cancel the animation before it kills your speed i dont remember
what the difference between sword fly and skate ? isnt that the saem ?
well i mean sword fly then not skate
sorry idk any of these terms
skating's definition overtime has changed to really only refer to shatterskating/wellskating
basically every movement tech has been called skating at some point because destiny players operate at the level of a concussed athlete
More accurately, it's specifically the high speed horizontal movement via the Eager Edge perk interacting in fun ways.
Sword flying is slower comparatively but you can stay in the air longer and you have far more control
Sword flying is being in the air as long as you have sword ammo
But you are only moving at sprint speed
traditionally basically any method of building and carrying speed was called skating, most famously titan skating but that got shot in the head bc mousewheel at high framerate let people gain nuclear speed instantly
why does my zavala icon keep flashing despite having nothing to collect?
Nothing useful
One of the worst questions you could ask
lmao, i just returned from a long time without playing xD im innocent
I see, dw
my featured quests icon does the same it's pmo
why cant i claim the ornaments on my warlock, when i clearly owned the pass and collected the ornaments on my hunter (collected them when the season of the wish was active)
What does it say when you mouse over them?
"requires archived pass"
Sounds like a bug report then because the green icon in the corner should mean that you can just grab them if I remember correctly
yeah good idea
Does the coil still offer the bonus chest room from breaking all the vases?
No
Well.that sucks
Not like the coil has any unique loot anymore
Yea
I was wondering if they actually did something with it
But no
Classic bungo
i think what i put would be godroll
is there an easy way to farm this?
How do I pass the sixth step of taming the storm?
wait until banshee sells it
Send a screenshot because I’m 99.9% sure nobody is going to know that off the top of their head
which he is not doing today, so id wait until he sells suros stuff
Alright brbr
I've played multiple solo raids with the arc subclass, on advanced and higher but it isn't progressing
does it change everyday?
Cool cat sylph
Has there been a big letter B or A at the bottom of your screen when you finish?
I googled it and it appears to be bugged
Could be that too
Yes. I've been at this since mid yesterday
Sounds like it’s a known issue per a TWAB
The intro quests from Ikora are usually bugged quite often unfortunately
I was hoping maybe leaving it for the night and coming back would fix it but it aint that simple unfortunately
No nothing you do will fix it
It seems like this has been an issue for ~4 months so
yeah
so you just wait until he sells legato and spend a fuck ton of glimmer and hope for a good roll
If you need glimmer kerrev the final boss of sundered gives like 100k glimmer perk kill
could someone please send a screenshot of portal boons?
is "a good shout" any good?
also if it is good what roll is good on it?
Buddy of mine and I just started playing the game and we're trying to do the encore mission in order get the Choir of One exotic. We must be doing something wrong because our damage is way to low
Can anybody give us some pointers?
that's like, normal primary damage?
what's the expectation here
dont look at old d2 footage for damage numbers, edge of fate took like 4 zeroes off everything
use a special or heavy weapon that can actually hit the boss
a shotgun and a sword for a giant floating hydra aint it
Yeah, I had no idea what the mission was like so I wasn't sure what weapons to take, just took my highest ones
And oh, I also didnt have any idea they changed the damage, last time I played was when light fall came out
your power doesn't affect your damage output unless it is below the activity's power cap
they just divided all the numbers
Awesome, thank you I guess I'll try it again with better weapons
i believe its divided by 50?
I don't know if theres a single infographic of them Court style but Compendium should have all of them
You know weapons that can reach the hydra lmao
linears, snipers, rockets, grenade launchers
ranged supers
rocket pulse
take advantage of the portal boons as well, hypercritical alone is +140% damage just for hitting crits, with a snipe or linear or crossbow or something you just delete the boss
Awesome, thank you!!
The Queenbreaker is a good one right?
with hypercritical you can legit just toss on thunderlord + arc surge and burger your way through
qb would work too yea
if you have catalyst thats another boost
Catalyst?
and put on some arc surges on your boots
it got a catalyst giving it rewind rounds
no worries if you dont have it
it drops from random activities
it's just wewind
Catalyst is that thing int eh attachments right
exotics only
but yeah
Gotcha
boss prob dies before you empty the mag with hypercritical + arc surge on
bro did NOT play during heresy
I started reading the guide in the subreddit but it is hella long
so doesnt even matter rlly
for damage strategies or for the mission
I wasxz just going to read the whole thing so I can get acclimated to the game
The google doc one
It's like 100 pages
Lmaoo
What guide?
you'll learn it naturally
i feel like reading a google doc on EVERY mechanic will be painful
The New Player Guide on the Subreddit sidebar
Bungie just updated their official ones for the first time in like 5 years
i am ngl i do not think a human exists that can write a good new player guide for the game
Oh absolutely. The game is too old and too confusing for that to happen
the game itself isnt that confusing but the fact that stuff keeps changing so google is worthless sucks
info about the game has been worse and worse to get every year
oh yeah
DEFINITELY USE THE LINK THAT GUY SENT
the bungie guide is decent but pretty shallow yea
specifically "Your Guardian: Subclasses, abilities, and gear"
it got an update, its actually providing good info
These are the exotics I got, any in particular I should use for the fight?
qb, whisper of the worm (please extract ur pattern)
you could also use the stasis legendary linear and use an exotic primary
The suspectrum?
i mean its not great
but if you want to use an exotic primary
i dont know what weapons you have or not
so
Does anyone know how to fix crucible 1/12 players
I'm just stuck and cannot find a game
dead game
On any crucible mode
Not even trials tho
Ye
It's been all day
I haven't been able to don't anyone
Stuck on evaluating guardians
do you have crossplay off
oh maybe reset ur game then if its on evaluating
because that means its trying to connect you but its not working
Also check to see if your NAT type in Settings in-game is set to Closed, which can hamper matchmaking if it is
dont rlly overthink it those two boons i mentioned together are gonna like triple your damage
def a connection issue then
you could use a scout rifle and melt boss
Bet I'll restart
do you get anything for overleveling the rewards pass past level 110?
When does derealize reset? Not tomorrow, right?
bright dust engrams
eververse engrams *
thanks!
What's the best way to grind Combat Telemetry? I need like 100 Telemtry for the weekly objective which I think will finish my event track
i’m doing the catalyst for the praxic blade currently. on the 2nd encounter boss, i got all 4 bosses to spawn, but no blights spawned. i’m on legendary solo, & killed the taken knights at the beginning. what am i missing?
i also noticed i don’t have a time limit either, kinda confused on that part too
i did the introduction to synthweave mission and got everything but im having an issue of only shop items appearing in my ornament screen and no option to use anything else. anyone know what im missing?
Open your character screen and move to the bottom screen by pressing S or the small arrow at the bottom. Then select the box that appears in the top right. Then choose any armor piece you want. All your options should be there.
oh no wait nevermind i found it thanks
went to the wrong menu
@sterile python @waxen ibex thank you ❤️
Can we still refresh the exotic armor at xur to get a differnet stat type
Yeah
how to?
I think it only works with some so just keep cycling through all the different ghost mods until it changes to something else
What’s the best way to get uncivil discourses with accelerated assault
yea sorry i haven't played renegades yet, thanks tho
Can anyone help me with the zero hour mission I don't know what to do in it
Just look up a visual guide on yt will be 100x easier
You will also greatly benefit from doing it with a team, rather than solo.
Okay
how can i be the most efficient for damage for 3rd encounter sundered doctrine? im on warlock
you gotta clear it like 3 more times on master+ to get all the upgrades btw
though i think the best catalyst is the first to drop i dont remember
it has upgrades :o?
choir?
go to the enclave on mars/throne world and theres the whole weapon crafting system
awesome
choir is part of that
No and no
All primaries have infinite ammo
No the clip
I know this is prob a skill issue but Why is it that on all HIGHEST setting im at 60-70 fps and When im on the LOWEST im still at like 60-80. I dont have vsync or nothing on. its so weird
You run out after 150 rounds
It’s not worth wasting and exotic slot
You can only use 1 exotic weapon and 1 exotic armor piece
How can I get better stuff mainly. Im power level 311 rn
By playing the portal and leaving up to 450
Then you’ll get T5 gear
This game is in a weird spot for the time being because some of the absolute meta weapons are no longer obtainable
But they’re slated to return in March/April with the next major update
So for right now I would focus on getting caught up with DLC quests, getting to 550, and starting to save ferropotent armor with decent stat rolls
What do I play in the portal
Also work on getting exotic armor
Whatever you want
They all give good gear?
If you want the most bang for your buck I’d do ones with bonus drops first
Because you’ll get bonus drops
But the only portal playlist with a different loot pool is pinnacle ops
Everything else drops the same shit
I've done some stuff in portal before like solo and fire team ops and crucible but didn't get that good of gear just 300
It's still a Primary with no damage perk other than the occasional explosive shot, and no subclass synergy. It's fun, it's a meme, but it isn't actually effective.
As your level increases you need to increase the difficulty of the missions you’re doing
Where is the difficulty option
You should probably go on YouTube and watch some videos about the portal and leveling
I see master difficulty
Probably best off asking in #💻tech-support. But you'll also want to share your specs.
ok
Select master then click on the thing to change and add modifiers and you want to make it so your projected reward is B+
Radiant doesn't seem to stun barrier champions :/
Does the weapon you're using already have an intrinsic anti-champion effect?
trying to get facet of mending rn, but it isnt working for me, only 3 ghosts show up at the end thing, is it just broken?
I used the call, unless it has a passive I don't know about, no
Best bet would be to record a clip
Can't weapons have multiple anti champion effects?
Anti Barrier weaponry works by damaging the Barrier itself. So you hurt the Champ, then it puts up the bubble shield, then you shoot the Champ to break the barrier/bubble/shield.
Is that the process you're using?
Not outside of edge cases.
And the edge case typically requires the weapon to not have a direct intrinsic champion effect and instead rely on a perk that utilizes a subclass verb
So like the poison bow doesn't work for both overload and unstoppable?
no
Correct
bruh
It will not. Le Monarque prioritises the intrinsic, Overload.
that's honestly stupid
no
How To: Champions
There are 3 kinds of champions:
• Barrier: Create a shield that can only be pierced by anti-barrier weapons, and also heal after a small delay while the shield is up.
• Overload: Teleport frequently and regenerate health very quickly if not stunned or suppressed.
• Unstoppable: Take significantly reduced damage and continue to pursue targets if not stunned.
Stunning Champions: Champions can be stunned by Seasonal Artifact Mods, Subclass Effects, and Exotics with Intrinsic Stuns. You can view a quick summary of these by hovering over the 3 champion symbols to the right of your weapons in your character screen.
For more information, check out the guides below:
• Court's X Page (has various infographics such as the one in the top right)
• Datto's Champion Guide (Video)
• Reddit | Gamespot
It’s not at all
On the bright side, each subclass has intrinsic ways of dealing with 2/3 champ types. Arc, for example, can Blind Unstops, and Jolt Overloads.
stasis
The above bot command has a very nice graphic.
So would prismatic be able to deal with all then?
With the right setup, I believe so. It mightn't always be practical, but yes.
But we've also got our Exotics and Champ Mods as well, so it's fairly easy to get a well rounded kit either way.
hunter can very easily
and practically
Also, you virtually never need to cover more than 2 champs at a time, and unless you're soloing you'll rarely even need to cover both.
also everything but barriers can technically be killed without stunning
If we're getting into semantics, Barriers can be bursted down too. But it's easier to cover the stun.
Here’s a good example. If you were playing prismatic warlock with getaway, your jolt from the arc soul along with slow from stasis turret would be able to stun overload. If you’re running praxic blade and solar super, praxic blade having intrinsic anti barrier would pop barrier shields, and assuming you have impact core on your ignitions while using praxic on an unstop will stun unstop
chunk
small window before they recover for barrier
yeaaa
I remember when they were new I'd use... I think a rocket and Izzy to do it.
Then I did some silly Athrys's experiments.
With the old mod system I got Athrys's to do ~5% less damage than a Nighthawk shot haha
grapple melee works now
It's not the same as funny big knife yeet 😔
How do you get across the oversould bridge in crotas with only 3 people with strands
you grapple a tangle really high up
i think only warlock can do it
thats what i was told
im full on glimmer what should i spend it on
rally banners at hawthorn
yeah, need to use a strand wanderer warlock
how much extra time does each vault puzzle in zero hour give now anyways
is it changed from the pre-itl version
there are a lot of modifiers in the Activity Customization screen. which should i pick and why?
just pick a few to understand what they do. Would try and aim for a B+ score if you are trying to gain power
it's also somewhat dependant on what activity you are doing
If im wanting to start the game, which dlcs are important for me to get? this will be my first time playing
A lot of the game is f2p, I would try it just and then buy dlcs when there’s a sale.
where/how may I acquire Mercury-A... it was an EoF Portal Activity weapon.
Sounds good, thank you. Once there's a sale, which DLCs would be worth getting? I'm not too caring about the story more so than improving my stats but I read some dungeons are also locked behind a paywall
The legacy bundle is a good deal to unlock the strand and prismatic subclasses.
awesome thanks for the help!
at the moment it's only hawthorne engrams
i wouldnt bother
arms week ending in a little over 12 hours anyways
solid point, thx
how long will the noble partisan set be in the eververse? mans broke
Hey all, returning player here. Haven’t played since around June last year and I know the game’s gone through some pretty major reworks since then, especially gear, perks, and systems.
Before I dive back in, does anyone have good recap resources you’d recommend? Videos, write-ups, YouTube channels, whatever helps summarize what’s changed and what actually matters now
Also worth mentioning: I left with a maxed vault, so I’m a little terrified of figuring out what’s safe to dismantle vs what’s still worth keeping. Any guidance there would be hugely appreciated too. Thanks! (Mostly PvE player)
We got 300 extra vault space so I wouldn’t worry about your vault.
Bungie updated their new player guide but I haven’t looked at it yet.
Wasn't even aware there was a new player guide, I'll take a look. Thanks!
do you have to do full clears for the taken dark matter crystal or could you just farm 1st and final checkpoints? like rotating them
Looking at their sections on Legacy Armor/Weapons, it sounds like most of my stuff should/can be dismantled once I've gotten gear from the new system. Does that sound about right?
With the added vault space the purging of items doesn't sound like a pressing matter, moreso asking if all my legacy stuff is basically worthless and I should be planning to replace it all
For armor, yeah once start getting t4+ armor, it’s better than old armor
There are still good old weapons
anyone know how long the star wars armor will stay in eververse? will it go away on reset?
is it being sold for bright dust or silver?
silver
should still be there then
is there a reliable way to farm thriving survivor armor
which questline should i start with first? I was met with the renegades questline but i thought that was part of the newest dlc?
yeah, it's just the first mission.
How much longer do I have to complete the Warlords Ruin challenge?
if you are new, start with a new light and guardian rises
till next reset
Just under 12hrs?
yep
gotcha, thank you
It’s gonna be there until S&O
What’s the best way to get uncivil discourses with accelerated assault
Buy a bunch. Spiders quest also gives one AA weapon a week.
They can drop from the store with that trait?
Dam
Alr thx
Can I use cross bows too?
I did the warlord's ruin challenge
where can I claim the emblem?
it's been a few days
There's a triumph that should tell you whether or not you did it with the right weapons but Bungie will be giving them out later since they're interally checking the runs
yeah I did get the triumph
I did it like 3 days ago tho
reset is today so I got a bit worried
Most likely they will give it out after reset
It seems like if I run campaign in order, I am just delaying everything useful, which would be to grab chromatic and then go to renegades... is that the case?
Prismatic. But yes, there are "optimal" ways to run the campaigns if you care more for rewards than story. Beyond Light, Lightfall, and Final Shape, all reward Subclasses, primarily.
but the subclasses from beyond light are terrible, lightfall is only good for titan, and the final shape is the best for everyone
Something being less effective at this current moment doesn't mean it isn't useful later. Nature of live service. Prismatic is the meta subclass for each class though, yes.
Fully decking out Prismatic will take some time in the post-campaign
idk. What the fuck happened to this game? Like, where is all the cool stuff from Beyond Light? I had a campaign and that seems like it is it. It pushes me to this portal where I run the same 9 maps over and over, gaining 2 pwoer level each time
i tried stronghold, one mission, and then a huge timeskip
this is crazy.
Is Destiny 2 worth getting into in 2026?
I have no idea what you mean by that first part. Beyond Light's post campaign hasn't changed.
No.
This is awful. I do not know what Bungie did, but with the first two campaigns gone, you start at a guy named Shaw and nothing makes sense.
Can someone help me with something small real quick
not only that, it seems like ONLY the most recent expac matters
Are some cosmetics for armour only avaliable on certain pieces of armour? Like the star wars ones i wanna use it on the hunter
Three. And that happened five and a half years ago.
Beyond Light hasn't changed. The post campaign activities and quests and the Raid are all still there.
but they have no point, right? It's just... go renegades.
That isn't true, but the most recent expansion has always been the most important.
No, they have a point.
Sort of. Ornaments are class locked, naturally, so there's that. Then you've got Exotics which only take Exotic Ornaments, and Legendaries get everything else.
What is this one?
Ah okay thank you man I appreciate it 🙏
what is god roll for choir one i mean barrel and magazine
I believe that's the General Grievous one for Hunter, if I recall correctly.
But like i put on a helmet and in game my headpiece stays looking like the default one, all my other ones show up but my head stays default, is this normal?
More of a #💎shard-it-keep-it question. We use that for weapon rolls.
Like this
my bad
That's not a helmet. That's your face.
Oh sorry
think you have helmet off in your settings
just have to turn it back so it shows up in social spaces
poor guy has amnesia
forgot his own face 😔
I lost my sanity in the shadowkeep pyramid leave me be 😔
Hello, wanted to ask what this means
Which part of it do you find confusing?
Whats a portal activity
Portal is an entire menu. It's an activity hub.
Where do I find it
It's one of your major tabs. Not hidden.
If it was a snake it would’ve bit ya
I presume I do this for a boss
You can do anything the solo ops will have boss(es) at the end as well
You can do just about anything that isn't Crucible. Fireteam Ops will work fine.
Alright
Just make sure you got that subclass equipped
Yeah I dont use any other anyway
What class ?
Hunter
Void will be alright until you get prismatic
Dont have Final Shape unfortunately
There might still be a sale going on
Irrelevant when you dont have money
That storm just dumped 5 feet of snow twin go shovel some driveways
Ah a US defaultist
It snows all over the world
wher sno
I’m sure they cut grass all over the world too you could go mow a lawn or two
After a couple hours you’d have the DLC paid for 
They do cut grass all over the world however no one has lawns anywhere outside the US
We’re running out of options here twin maybe snag an OT shift this weekend or sum
Suburban districts are a rarity
Overtime implies I have a job to do normal time for

Do you not have a job ?
might correlate to the 'no money' issue
Correct
Nope
Hmm
Where I live you'd be lucky to even see a mcdonalds
what aisle the drills at
52
American corporations do not exist here
Not sure what "under the table" means
Like... off the books?
Like I wasn’t officially hired

My uncle owned a car dealership
no taxes 💯
Official hiring? people would think you are crazy for expecting such a thing here
Where you live gang sentinel island ? 
Damn the game just put me in solo after not finding a team
The lost tribeland known as Turkey
For what it's worth by the way Steam does not have it on sale
Oh rip
I’ve always wanted to visit Turkey
My history teacher in high school went there and told us all about it
Hoooly shit I do zero damage
Alright gonna need to recruit people from here by the looks of it
is the dlc content that comes with the legacy collection mainly for the storyline?
You should just be able to do a solo ops
Yea true I should give solo a go
Im trying to figure out what dlc to get - i hear the more recent dlcs are what can help with being up to date with weapons and content
Well you get all the campaigns but on top of that you get all the quests and ability to unlock all the exotics with each dlc etc.
sounds good, i mean the legacy collection seems to be 10$ on g2a so i'd be willing to grab that and another one of the more recent dlcs
Order of importance (imo)
- TFS because prismatic
- Renegades (most recent and relevant content)
- Lightfall/Beyond light (solely because of strand and stasis)
- EoF, Witch Queen, Shadowkeep
awesome, thanks a lot! would you say this is in terms of overall progression
Only thing is I believe you’ll have to purchase dungeon keys separately (unless they changed it)
yeah i hear prismatic is pretty insane to be able to use each element
so dungeon keys are a separate dlc?
They are a separate $20 purchase iirc
You’d need 2 of them
what activity are you running?
Or is it 3?
i see, thanks for the insight
i think it's 3 ikora has 3 dungeons or something
that's unavailable to me
wq for duality and spire
lf for ghosts and warlords
tfs for vespers and sundered
in regards to dungeon keys
Vespers and Sundered would be on TFS key, ghosts and warlords would be on Lightfall key, duality and spire on witch queen key
I think is what it would be
awesome, thanks a lot for the info, i appreciate it
tfs dungeon key by far the most worth it
Just keep in mind all RAD content in the game other than DP, EDP, and EQ (which come from EoF and Renegades) do not have loot tiers
Some random portal activity I picked
I think it was a part from Beyond Light
Oh nice bonus
meh sorry, i’m not too familiar with abbreviations yet aside from the dlc names usually
Insane name
questions channel
RAD - Raid and Dungeon
DP/EDP - (Epic) Desert Perpetual (Edge of Fate Raids)
EQ - Equilibrium (Renegades Dungeon)
I assume solo op means what I just did earlier
Oh yep its literally called solo ops
bless, thank you
Am I being dumb, why is it always C
use modifiers to increase the rank at least b+
Does that bar need to fill up for it to upgrade to C+ or something
Its not moving at all no matter the modifiers I put on
Oh seems its relative to my power level
Reaching the cap makes it C
Are checkpoint bots still a thing? Been away a while and came back recently. If they are where would I find them?
yea can jump on twitch n queue for a checkpoint
these 3 all do them
or use the website but its usually just always full
Just redownloaded the game again since launch, i remember there only been one trophy left that I couldn’t do what are these?
New is what I assume they are
"portal" is the new hub for activities, master and grandmaster are difficulties in the portal
nah they had their requirements changed
they used to be the nightfall achievements
Ahh, i remember there been some leviathan raid where you fight this huge dude
vaulted raid, long story, old requirement
I was a pathetic noob gamer back then
Ahh not shocked tbh
Saw most stuff good about the game was removed
I assume there’s a power level requirement for the portals?
no
for these difficulties, yes
Rip, I just wanna get my trophy’s after all these years
you should start at 300 power
so the grind wont be long to get to grandmaster difficulty
All my stuff got reset to power 10
All my op stuff I grinded so long for
Also it’s removed all my preorder stuff how do I get that back?
in the collections page of your inventory
Ahh legend thank you
preorder bonuses like Ghosts, Ships and such werent removed
I’m trying to find the one preorder cold heart skin to be specific
should just be able to inspect coldheart and look in its ornament thingy
I think they must have removed it I only see them three unfortunately, it was the one you get the code for if you preorder the case
Not a good skin it just looks like someone put some ice on it
turns out the preorder was the gun itself, not an ornament
Oh I am just stupid then my bad
Thank you for your help tho
Time to redo my grind
I’m seeing some hunters with 200 health 100 super and 100 class what archetype do I need to aim for to get this?
is this in crucible?
Yes
Bulwark
What’s the new meta for farming higher power?
hopping between portal activities that drop the green bonus engrams
fyi Moon Heist is bugged and you cant get a high enough score to earn the bonus engrams, so you can skip that activity
Bet thank you
if i remember correctly there was another activity thats also bugged with its scoring, but i dont remember which
how do i combat the new regenerative shield thing
its literally the first mission and i can not kill these pilots no matter how hard i try
one instance of high damage to "stun" the regen and then a rapid fire weapon to bring it down
there should've been a tutorial popup for it
thank you, the pop up didnt last long enough for me to read it all
happens
other times they will show you the same one 50 times and require you press escape to make it go away those 50 times 
thanks gurt
Im having a bit of a problem here. I logged onto destiny and played some missions, but im actually having a good time all the way. Am i doing something wrong?
As a power 301 is it able for me to get invited to grandmaster portals to play them?
It let me do the master one so I assume so
If you have a high power friend, they can launch the mission and you can play way above your level
One of my 550 friends took me through a couple of coils, and I was getting like +10 gear compared to what I had
Question about desert perpetual: can I still get the exotic if I skip to the final boss fight or do I need to clear all encounters?
yes you can just farm the final
Wait, there isn’t a restriction on the number of times you can do it per week? It’s actually farmable?
Any tips for getting guardian kills with Duality?
idk abt desert perpetual
shoot them in the head
Is it a ohk?
once per char per week irrc
Ah gotcha, that’s fine, thanks a bunch!
no prob
old raids are infinitely farmable
ADS puts it into slug mode so it is a one shot kill to the head if you are close enough.
and legendary loot is infinity farmable in desert
Yea
A silly question im sure, but just to verify, the praxic blade works for the challange thing right
Yeah
What's currently the better weapon between Devil's Ruin and Eriana's Vow?
they do different things, devils ruin is for ad clear and eriana is for minibosses and champ stun
id say devils ruin is more useful rn
The Firesprite generation does seem pretty useful now
I've been using Sunshot but it is a little underwhelming imo
one is a primary one isnt
i would say eriana is pretty much irrelevant rn but they're hard to directly compare
Devils Ruin makes firesprites on its own
never build into them
Is it just me or have they messed up spawns on worm haven in arms week rumble
Like it has just made it easier for spawn campers
How are people getting OHK with the bows in crucible? I’m trying a Mercury-A with the tungsten mod, AO and KT. It’s not OHK’ing like others.
Skill issue?
any bow with Tungsten
Nope. Doesn’t matter now, but I can verify that I’ve used Orfeo with Tungsten and it sometimes needed two shots
In fact I more reliably got 1 hit kills with scattershot
How long is maintenance going to last
Does the solar subclass fragment which makes solar ignitions bigger increase song of flame damage?
no
dont know why it would
Bigger doesn’t mean more damage
Huge patch today guys don’t ya think?
it's a normal update
Am I still able to get the new malpais catalyst?
Bungie is working very hard
There isn’t a specific counter that can drop found verdict timelost is there can you just get from atheon when using spoils
erm is there a way to track ascendant challenge completion? did the keep of honed edges but the chest doesn't spawn, not sure if it still counts for secret victories
Bray.tech tracks them
afaik yes, or just craft one
id just farm oracles if you want timelost version
that or conflux
any ideas where to farm for the praxic professional exotic order?
whisper thrallway
doesnt work
do the one in the portal mission
wdym?
It has to be on expert
it was opn expert
master i believe
I did it on expert
yes i killed alot, it wokred for all other orders, just not that one
but i didnt launch it thropugh the portal, thinking that mightve been my issue
it was
Yes that's what u need to do
it was on expert, just not through the portal
you need to do master+ in portal iirc
Interesting change then
the order says expert
TBF I did it when it came out
so idk
oh then it is expert
i was misremembering
i did that shit within first 2 weeks
no wirres, i appreciate the speedy info, thank you both!
