[marsh orchid]

That sucks

[brave canyon]

Rn it’s rocket pulses

[glacial hound]

rocket pulses, finalitys, whirling (parasite if you dont have it) and hezen (niche uses rn) are pretty much the whole dps meta

[marsh orchid]

alr

I've been using parasite and psi aeterna

[waxen ibex]

You can only earn a limited amount of returners gifts in total so you don't need to care about minmaxing getting them

The drops are just bright engrams and bright dust type of shit for the most part

[safe quartz]

whats the dmg %increase of knockout for melee?

[near vector]

How do you get the new malpais catalyst now

[willow hearth]

unobtainable atm pretty sure

[cerulean sail]

should drop from rank 90 in the rewards pass

[waxen ibex]

When shadow and order drops it'll be available for chronologs in the season archive thing

Until then unobtainable

[near vector]

I’m going crazy

What does the catalyst do

[waxen ibex]

Makes it suspend or something

[willow hearth]

unravel on detonation

[near vector]

This is so sad

Why do they do this

Is new malpas still good

I just used it to solo prophecy and it did pretty good killing the first boss

[willow hearth]

meh

[near vector]

But the final boss it did awful

[willow hearth]

same slot as praxic so

[near vector]

I don’t have praxic 😢

What’s so good about praxic

Stupid light saber

[willow hearth]

good easy damage

still i'd just use mint over malpais regardless

[near vector]

How can I get mint

[willow hearth]

pray hawthorne blesses you

(she won't)

[near vector]

Do I need dlc

[willow hearth]

nah

[near vector]

Ok thanks

Is hatchling and bait and switch and good roll on mint

[willow hearth]

hatchling is whatever but it's decent if you don't have another with bns/honing

ideally you want rewind in 3rd

[covert ridge]

how can i get tier 5 swordmaster armor

[cerulean sail]

pinnacle ops

[covert ridge]

Augh

[ornate aspen]

This is untrue right? It’s only possible to get 200 melee when all 5 pieces of armer are Brawler I thought? Am new to armor 3.0

I hoped myself I could run 5x paragon and still get melee max but I am coming a bit short. Is it different with tier 5 or something?

[high lily]

this is correct

the comment*

pretty much never go bulwark or brawler or specialist in pve

[near vector]

What do I have to farm to get mint retrograde

[cerulean sail]

nothing, it can drop from specific hawthorne engrams

[near vector]

Some bs

What am I supposed to do then

[cerulean sail]

give up and go for something else until a real way to earn mint again is added

[near vector]

What should I go for

I have no idea what’s good anymore

And I don’t have renegades or edge of fate

[cerulean sail]

honestly same

[near vector]

Damn 🫩

[ornate aspen]

So what do I go to hit 200 melee and pref not much in health? 4 paragon and 1 bulwark?

I still dont understand how u would hit 200. 5x40 on a max stat is only possible when it’s it primary stat right? So 200 melee i guess would only work on bulwark

[high lily]

5 paragon, have all tuning in melee

youl have the subclass and armor mods to get to 200

if you cant get to 200, get to 180 and use a melee font

[ornate aspen]

What armor mod, you mean the fonts? Or is there something beside font

[cerulean sail]

stat mods

[obsidian rover]

For Kinetic slot Legendary weapons, you could go for Riptide from Pinnacle Ops, or Praedyth's Revenge from the refreshed VoG.

[wanton badger]

you can still get shinys but just very rare if not the focus right or is only certain sources like weeklys or quest from spider like sunless right now can you spam and pray for psi artena?

well not focus the gm or from a special weekly source

[obsidian rover]

They drop rarely from all sources you can get T5s in

[wanton badger]

ah ok was bit confused if had to be a alert or weekly just rng ty

go brr before reset in sunless

[obsidian rover]

You're welcome. Actually, it's a rare chance for any tier to be shiny, as I've gotten shiny T4s before. I've also heard that Invading has a higher chance for shiny weapons as well, but I haven't gotten around to see how true that seems.

[waxen ibex]

The meta really has not changed much since tfs

Rocket pulses power crept stuff but they fill similar roles to special dps weapons of old

The biggest differences is just with what they've buffed since then

Like nighthawk still hunt is back to being insane

Actually significantly better than it ever was I believe

[tropic flame]

Does it usually take over 10min to find people when starting a search thing?

[glad crag]

Depends on the activity, time of day

[tropic flame]

we got VENUS:PIKERS legendary up

[tropic flame]

ah

well this time of day must be slow or somefin

=w=

makes me wonder if the game died or somethin

[glad crag]

It’s the morning in America

[tropic flame]

ya im usa too

i woke up, got some breakfast, played on mah phone and brushed mah teeths, now in D2 like wheres everyone at!?

[glad crag]

It has not died. For years, USA prime hours are early afternoon through late evening

[near vector]

What is best dps for sundered doctrine

Final boss

[glad crag]

Ironically, Finality’s Auger the exotic from the dungeon. Otherwise a rocket frame

[waxen ibex]

Anything that works at range

[near vector]

Parasite

[waxen ibex]

Rocket pulses, whisper, A499, doesn't matter a ton it's not like the dps requirement is super high

The best option without renegades would be nighthawk still hunt by a longshot

For non hunters without auger you could try to make parasite with rocket pulses work or just use praedyth/leviathans breath

Rocket pulses on their own just do fine too

[livid plank]

Hi everyone this is probably a super silly question (I only got the game 2 weeks ago and am very much a noob) but I’m trying to rank up my guardian and I’m stuck on these 2 quests, I don’t understand how to stun them ,I’ve tired a bunch of different weapons and a bunch of different guns and have googled it lots and don’t understand what I’m missing lol! Sorry I know this is probably super obvious plz don’t make fun of me 😭

[solemn zodiac]

have you tried using the things the game tells you to use ?

what's not working when you use those tools to stun the champions ?

[glad crag]

Specific champion types have specific ways to stun, as shown in the images. For Overload, you can use a weapon with Chill Clip or Jolting Feedback

[solemn zodiac]

if you want a more exhaustive explanation:

;champs

[solar jasper]

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

[solemn zodiac]

the image in the snippet also has a visual list of stun options

[balmy valley]

can i get the ergo sum catalyst from regular excision

or does it have to be gm

[livid plank]

Okay thank you, I was confused what suspend for the void and the slow and shatter meant and was just trying to use the void class normally thinking it would do it , I’ll look for into it thanks for the help

[livid plank]

Thank you !

[solemn zodiac]

the "supress", "slow", "shatter" and such words are a slightly different color, and that is what is called keywords. They are subclass-specific, as outlined by, for example, the flame next to "ignition" telling you this is (usually) specifically from the solar subclass

they are also highlighted in the same way on your subclass screen, so you can know when something's important

outside of this, you may find intrinsic champion stun capabiilities on specific exotic weapons, and there are a few seasonal mods to let specific weapon types be able to stun specific champions, which you can find in your seasonal artifact's screen

[solemn zodiac]

each subclass has generally 2 main keywords associated to it, and each can stun one champion type, meaning that subclasses in general can stun 2 of the 3 champion types, if you have the right fragments and then proc the keyword (in whatever way the fragment wants you to)

[livid plank]

So confusing haha okay thank you makes more sense now !

[true ridge]

is there confirmation on when the season ends

[glad crag]

Not yet

[waxen ibex]

The season isn't ending until like July-September whenever shattered cycle releases

The mid-season update with the second rewards pass and expanded loot pools hasn't been officially announced but it's safe to say it'll probably be after guardian games

We don't know how long they actually are planning to delay shadow and order but Paul tassi claims it was delayed

Guardian games is currently lined up to start on March 3rd which is what he claims was the planned release date for it and they're super last minute adding all the guardian games content into the live game rn

I would probably expect an announcement for guardian games maybe this week? Otherwise next week

I wouldn't expect any significant communications about the game until marathon launches, they probably think any sort of big news drop would be disruptive to their PR stuff for marathon since d2 players are loud and annoying

[sacred path]

I’m looking into that bio I think I want the 10h call

[marsh orchid]

what activity should I do if I want to get new stat-specific gear for my characters?

[waxen ibex]

Portal or farm kepler if you did mythic kepler or renegades content

That's really it

[tropic flame]

Can anyone help me? these symbols are like vanishing hidden paths but they just lead in a circle

anyone know how to get through this?

its this quest

[sudden egret]

Path forward is on your right

[tropic flame]

this is all i see on my right

ooh found it, ty

[waxen ibex]

How many times did you walk around the circle

[tropic flame]

[drifting plinth]

also, please take off that autorifle, it is not good at all

[tropic flame]

is it true that to get higher power equips we have to be wearing our strongest gear we've had so far?

[rancid tundra]

No, you just have to have it

So as long as you don't dismantle it, your fine

[tropic flame]

do we have to have equipped it atleast once?

[sudden egret]

no

[drifting plinth]

also, infusion exists

and it's basically free

[tropic flame]

ty

for the boss at the end where we gotta throw orbs into the 2 black spheres in the sky, im so confused

i keep throwing them in there but it doesnt do anything

[drifting plinth]

you gotta make the black orbs

so kill a taken then a cabal or the other way around

[tropic flame]

i'll try mah besht

ty

im killin all of them but only white orbs

[drifting plinth]

you need to specifically kill one taken, then go kill one cabal or the other way around

[last blaze]

where are the loadout unlocks?

im at guardian rank 7 and i see no truimph giving loadout unlocks

[cerulean sail]

should be gr 8 to 9

[last blaze]

wait they are unlocked now??? i just checked, maybe cuz i already did the truimph and it auto complete nice

[livid plank]

Does anyone know which missions I could easily find overload champions without having to super hard difficulty ?

[tropic flame]

Thanks ❤️ finally beat'em

[sudden egret]

Perdition expert lost sector has one in the beginning

[cerulean sail]

Perdition is on Europa

[livid plank]

Thank you !

[ornate aspen]

Is it still possible to earn red border weapons and/or use deepsight harmonizers on them?

[cerulean sail]

yeah some of the old craftable weapons are still earnable, others can be sold by Xûr

[ornate aspen]

Thanks

[ornate aspen]

Can I just do presage and hope for a drop and use deepsights? Or does it drop red border weekly too?

[cerulean sail]

presage should still drop season 17 guns, though i don't think the weekly guarantee stayed

[drifting plinth]

how do i reset priority contract

[misty canopy]

After 500 light do you have to do ultimate mode to increase to 550?

[brave canyon]

You should be doing ultimate once you hit like 470

But yes you should always be playing on ultimate especially after 500

[drifting plinth]

ultimate is piss easy anways

[cerulean sail]

ok

[misty canopy]

I have this little thing called a skill issue which means I like to avoid it until forced

[drifting plinth]

i mean there are plenty of build that make ultimate be piss easy even without being high skill

like genuinely braindead to play builds

[rancid tundra]

Bonk hammer titan, just hit them till they fall over

Voidlock is doing well rn too, and getaway prismatic is going strong as always

[deep fiber]

its literally no different to gm

you will not really notice the difference

[brave canyon]

And in Destiny, like all other walks of life, the only way you get better at something is by doing it.

[misty sphinx]

Bash thier heads in with flaming hammers

[fathom marten]

I can do something all I want (OW comp grind) and not get anywhere (I'm still plat after a decade). You have to actually be able to learn and adapt while doing it

[brave canyon]

Mf what

Improving in Overwatch is cooldown management and team comp

And some mechanical skill

[misty canopy]

yeah but I have more fun playing the builds I like not the best builds sooo I shall keep putting it off until 500 lol

[brave canyon]

You’re not going to get consistent t5 loot on GM

You need to switch to ultimate

You also don’t need “the best builds” for the portal

[misty canopy]

I do get T5 every time?

only time I sometimes miss tier 5 is doing quickplay and that's cause it's not even GM

[brave canyon]

Unless it’s changed now it didn’t used to be like that you needed to put like a metric fuck ton of modifiers to get the T5

I guess that was before the delta shit came out

[misty canopy]

I'm at 470 light so I only need B+ to get tier 5 I think

add like 2 modifiers max and I'm there on GM

[brave canyon]

Okay then I guess ride it out until you can’t get any higher but you will eventually have to switch to ultimate

[misty canopy]

yeah once I reach 500 I'm gonna finish building a strand build I'm working on and then I'll switch to ultimate

[brave canyon]

What class are you on ?

[misty canopy]

Warlock

[unreal drum]

Any of the weapons from starcrossed relevant / worth farming red borders

[cerulean sail]

no

[unreal drum]

Damn

L reset

[amber dome]

Is lawless frontier the best way to get increased power?

[sudden egret]

it's fine if you enjoy it, portal activities can be faster if you focus on the activities with bonus drops

[civic drift]

Anyone know if dares loot pool has changed? I need that forking slideshot ignotion code 🤣

[quiet spoke]

i would say appetence if you like traces, pretty much the only good stasis trace

[quiet spoke]

ignition code is in next weeks pool

[civic drift]

Yea i searched up what day th pool chages and it says Wednesday

For me its Thursday haha

[cerulean sail]

Xûr could also bring the reissued ignition code

[quiet spoke]

wait does the pool change daily?

[cerulean sail]

no

[glacial hound]

obviously excluding agers

[civic drift]

Pool changes every Wednesday from what im looking at

[quiet spoke]

yeah the only good legendary stasis trace

[glacial hound]

isnt it the only legendary stasis trace

[drifting plinth]

there is no good legendary traces besides shoot to loot

[cerulean sail]

the dares pool changes on weekly reset, <t:1771952400:F>

[glacial hound]

true…

thats why chronophage is the goat

[quiet spoke]

one of two

[glacial hound]

oh

i thought there was only one

[quiet spoke]

theres one from this season but they both roll the (my) preferred demo/killing tally

[cerulean sail]

there's a new one

"action item"

[drifting plinth]

appetence is the one that's obtainable

[fresh lion]

Returning player here ain’t played in well over a year now

Is destiny 2 still worth the grind and buying the recent expansion packs ?

[deep fiber]

unsworn:

[glacial hound]

chronophage sweep

[visual wyvern]

Chronophage on top

[deep fiber]

no det beam

instant shard

[glacial hound]

son

destab clears

[dark mango]

trace ad clear

i’m crine

[glacial hound]

i guess bro

no one is using a trace in content where it cant kill red bars🥀

[dark mango]

Ya it’s for picking up ammo not ad clear

[tropic flame]

Anyone know if gambit is still a thing and if it is how to get to it?

i have a quest asking me to complete 2 more rounds of it

[brave canyon]

There should still be the gambit tab in the director

[waxen ibex]

The gambit button

[brave canyon]

Just gotta tab one to the left from the portal

[tropic flame]

i just don't see a gambit button

so like i go to portal then what?

[tulip oar]

It's not in Portal

It's in the World page

[tropic flame]

if i hit tab it just backs out of menu

oh

[valid girder]

Is the zero hour quest bugged? I’ve completed the mission twice and it won’t update in the quest tracker from “complete mission.”

[lapis schooner]

which new light kit is recommended for warlock? i just made one

[valid girder]

Solar!

[turbid talon]

What method are you using to Launch it?

[valid girder]

Says to launch it from the legends menu. It’s the only way it will launch.

The method for the details screen is greyed out.

[turbid talon]

And is this the first step? Running it on normal as opposed to the higher difficulty? Completing it before the time runs out and such?

[valid girder]

Yup.

[turbid talon]

Alrighty. Do you have crafting unlocked?

[valid girder]

Yup!

[drifting plinth]

id get void

for grav lance

[lapis schooner]

thanks!

[vocal pilot]

I just saw someone have the emblem for the glaive sword and bow for warlords ruin, I completed that when they had the event I don’t see mine anywhere

[keen pier]

can i get the hyperblade catalyst on non ledgadary run or do i have to be on ledadgeary

holy spelling

[quiet spoke]

you have to do legend

[golden pier]

yall whats the best grind for prisms and golf balls

my cores, prisms, and golf balls situation is dire

[visual wyvern]

Do the gm alert

Edz battleground

[quiet spoke]

ive been grinding insight terminus on ultimate, its pretty quick and easy. just grind a fireteam activity thats featured and youll get quick clears

[flint beacon]

Out of curiosity for the challenge this week. Is the praxic blade even viable for one phasing or hitting the 20min mark

Makes me wonder why they even made this praxic limitation if people aren’t even going to use it for dps

[golden pier]

do modifiers matter at all or just running enough for the bonus drops to drop

oh well

its matchmade

nvm

[wild panther]

When do I lose a raid/dungeon checkpoint?

Besides manual reset

[keen pier]

Darn

Well thank you!

[quiet spoke]

you want help with it?

[visual wyvern]

Weekly reset

[drifting plinth]

id recommend avoiding matchmade activities cause dogshit modifiers

[drifting plinth]

somewhat unrelated but campaign checkpoints can be keps for unlimited amounts of time btw

[golden pier]

alright

[drifting plinth]

well, besides lawless

but that's the one exception

[tropic flame]

is there any way to increase the tier of equips or do we just have to find them dropped like that somehow?

[drifting plinth]

you cannot currently upgrade tiers

[tropic flame]

ty, do you know where i can find a bow called fortunate star?

[drifting plinth]

solstice event sometime during august or so

iirc its august

[turbid talon]

Correct

[tropic flame]

oof

[drifting plinth]

bows suck anyways

[turbid talon]

No, bows shoot, silly

Vacuums suck

[tropic flame]

i need something with um

repulser brace

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR4pl2Rsmvw trying to make the build here

[drifting plinth]

that youtuber is a clickbait fuck

it's not meta

[tropic flame]

😮

[drifting plinth]

not even CLOSE

[tropic flame]

whats the meta for invisibles?

[drifting plinth]

invis builds just suck

[steel sundial]

Meh

Graviton isnt that bad actually

[drifting plinth]

true

[turbid talon]

Graviton Forfeit? For PvE?

[steel sundial]

Probably not on pure void though

[drifting plinth]

got buffed

[steel sundial]

Yeah it’s pretty good

[drifting plinth]

pmuch inmost with extra steps and doesnt give a tiny amount of class regen now lol

[quiet spoke]

i switch between graviton and khepris most of the time, usually find myself on khepris

[turbid talon]

I've been gone too long if we're using Khepri's

[drifting plinth]

that one got buffed too iirc

still hella mid

[quiet spoke]

its fun with melee builds (praxic/heartshadow)

def more a fun exotic than a good one

[drifting plinth]

or you could just use fortune's favor with lightsaber and have it be way better

i dont even find khnepris fun

[tropic flame]

i just want something that gives me lots of invisibility and grenades i guess

my friend dies a lot so it'd be useful for saving him

[drifting plinth]

fix his build

[drifting plinth]

that's not really something that goes that well together i think

[tropic flame]

im not good at builds

[quiet spoke]

if you wanna be a support void hunter then omnioculus is prolly the way to go

[drifting plinth]

no

no

no

it is shit

graviton forfeit gives you enough melee regen to be way better for support and it gives other stuff

[tropic flame]

o.o

[quiet spoke]

i mean for the dr

but fair enough

[drifting plinth]

dr while invis when enemies are already not really shooting you?

[tropic flame]

what would be your idea of a meta invis build?

i have my heart set on invis

i just like the playstyle

[drifting plinth]

combo blow spam with stylish executioner

closest thing to meta invis build

[tropic flame]

whats combo blow spam mean?

[drifting plinth]

https://dim.gg/5f7iuaa/prism-hunter-grapple

this

[tropic flame]

sry im kinda a newbie. its my 1st time playing in like 4 years

[tropic flame]

ah i don't have DIM set up watevs it is

i'll look into it

[drifting plinth]

get it set up, it's a very useful website

lets you have inf loadout slots among other things

also lets you see vendors without going to them in game

[tropic flame]

does the D2 app on mobile do the same thing?

[drifting plinth]

dim feels better to use

also dont have to use phone

[tropic flame]

is there any content that guarantees max tier armor pieces?

[drifting plinth]

getting the grade that says itll give you t5 in any portal stuff

or kepler loot cave with both power upgrades(need to be 450)

[tropic flame]

ty

there are WAY to many hunter builds on youtube claiming to be the best

x.x

which one is truly the BEST like unlimited nades, mele, super and all that while not having to do some crazy complicated cycle to keep it going?

[drifting plinth]

there is no single answer

the grapple build i sent above comes fairly close

though

also is braindead easy to use

[tropic flame]

i still gotta unlock strand and prismatic

so much stuff

[clear birch]

Grapple melee?

[drifting plinth]

yeah

it's meta

got buffed to benefit from combo blow

[clear birch]

Yeah that stuff is proper broken still. Moreso after edge of fate.

[drifting plinth]

grapple melee on hunter was honestly kinda mid before edge of fate

[clear birch]

I’m sure there was a navigator build before final shape, or around then?

Season of the wish I seem to remember. Although i think that was titan.

[drifting plinth]

that was titan

[clear birch]

I’d just play the game as much as you want and you’ll eventually get a high enough level where everything drops at tier 5. Enjoy the grind!

I’ve been using lightsaber stronghold titan since January. Proper braindead gameplay.

Although swordmaster armor set makes it easier to just run around smashing stuff.

[tropic flame]

anyone know where devrim kay is?

i've searched the tower a few times

[tulip oar]

EDZ

[tropic flame]

this wants me to find him in the tower somewhere

[tulip oar]

That quest is heavily outdated and not completable

[tropic flame]

ah okie ty

[lofty arch]

whats the bestest arc skills to use as a warlock?!?, seen a video some dude doing crazy moves and dashing far distances. looked bonkers. I'm noobie

[high lily]

Fallen Sunstar with Coldheart, Arc Soul and Electrostatic Mind

or ig Stormtrance with Stormdancers Brace

[lofty arch]

okay! what about abiliies & fragments?

[high lily]

https://dim.gg/n23l3bi/Arc

thats the full loadout

gunner armor with melee tertiary stat

[lofty arch]

this is a neat site. it shows my stuff/ i dont see other loadouts though

[glacial timber]

its a 3rd party tool to save builds and manage ur vault, you cant find build in it unless someone shares a link like Jongo did

[high lily]

click link > open loadout in DIM > itll appear at the bottom here

its just an inventory management site, very helpful tool
also ignore the wishlists telling you "good" perks and such, 99% of them are incorrect, same goes for ignoring light.gg

if you have a question about a weapon roll, ask in #💎shard-it-keep-it

[lofty arch]

i see it now. okay thanks man!

[high lily]

oh and theres also the #1135936155527946280 channel to ask for builds

[lofty arch]

okay great. tryna sink my teeth into everything and try stuff out. thanks

[lapis schooner]

are the praxic blade crystals shared between characters or will i have to find them again

[obsidian rover]

They're shared

[lapis schooner]

awesome thanks

[marsh whale]

bro where my free 880 brightdust at ? did they just give it to u automatically ?

[fathom marten]

Did you grab the Year of the Horse thing in the Eververse Store?

It should be the free option in the top right of the first page

[marsh whale]

oh ok

[near latch]

Is the equilibrium where you must have a praxic blade in your loadout challenge live?

[sudden egret]

Yes

[tight widget]

what are the yellow extra DMG bubbles on enemies called again?

[sudden egret]

They have a name?

[uneven iron]

wtf is this grenade

I keep getting it after using a finisher while invisible, is it a secret perk on gear falcon?

[tight widget]

ya, like DMG bubbles or some darn thing 🙂

accelerated DMG... I have heard them called something 🙂

[tawdry sequoia]

Thats the forerunner grenade

But wtf ur not using forerunner

[uneven iron]

How do I proc it

[tawdry sequoia]

Throw it?

[uneven iron]

And what is fore runner

[tawdry sequoia]

Left trigger

[uneven iron]

No, normally I have the regular void grenade

Dude

[tawdry sequoia]

Exotic sidearm copy catted into the form of the halo magnum it's special ammo

[quiet spoke]

its an activity modifier

[tawdry sequoia]

Oh there ya go

Common MnK user

[tawdry sequoia]

Was i wrong abt the forerunner grande tho lmao

[quiet spoke]

you werent, its the same icon, but they didnt have forerunner equipped in the photo they attached

[tawdry sequoia]

Yea

That's why I was confused

[uneven iron]

Guys why the fuck dose void have such far Malay reigns. I’m trying to use my fucking ability not the stupid knife

It’s literally impossible to use your powered melee up close

[quiet spoke]

i had that same problem when i was on controller, i recommend having separate binds for powered and unpowered melee. solved the issue immediately

[drifting plinth]

i also had to bind powered and unpowered to separate buttons

[mortal cloud]

any good, non exotic energry weapon suggestion for shredding enemys in grandmasters

[uneven iron]

Yea I’ve been meaning to get to changing binds but I haven’t been using a void so it hasn’t been a problem really

Just died on a grand master because of it

[drifting plinth]

meleed a screeb?

[quiet spoke]

i found that you can bind your finisher to an emote button and have both work, then bound my uncharged to R3 and kept charged on R1

[quiet spoke]

psi aeterna iv is wonderful, zavala is currently selling an amazing roll of one

for special weapons that is anyways

[mortal cloud]

thank

[brave canyon]

Make sure you get the one with blast dist/elemental honing

[stone pumice]

Hello guys im new i just have one simple question i hope someone can answer me in a clear way, im currently power 314, i want to increase it but to do so do i have to keep equipping the drops i get? Or can i just keep playing and grinding and the drops will automatically get higher and higher power?

[brave canyon]

You don’t have to equip the higher power gear

[civic drift]

why does starhorse not have the dares engram it used to have is all the loot from the chest now

[stone pumice]

Alright thanks a lot

[obsidian rover]

If you don't want to replace a weapon or armor piece with one of higher power, you can always infuse the gear with higher power into the stuff you're wearing. That way, you can keep getting higher power.

[stone pumice]

I thought about that but then isnt it kinda a waste of items

[brave canyon]

You don’t have to do it for everything

But every once in a while it’s a good idea

[fluid kernel]

I have the new version of prophet of doom unlocked in my collections (haven’t ran since before the update)

Do I still have to get a new drop of it for it to show up in chests?

[obsidian rover]

If you mean for it to show up in the secret chests, no, you don't need to get it as a drop. Like Last Wish, the GoS chests can give you anything, even if you have never gotten it before.

[fluid kernel]

Awesome awesome. Thank you.

[lapis schooner]

are the seasonal hub rewards also shared across characters? like the order payouts

or can i claim them on each character

[drifting plinth]

seasonal hub is acc wide, yes

[lapis schooner]

ahh so i can only claim these on only one character

[drifting plinth]

ah wait fuck, the orders are generated per character and the rewards earned from orders on a character can only be claimed on that character

[lapis schooner]

oh that's perfect! was worried it would restrict me from those

only the weekly rewards are shared i guess

[drifting plinth]

yeah

[lapis schooner]

sounds good thanks

[civic drift]

why does starhorse not give engrams anymore like it used to? where do i go to get engrams from dares of eternity cause i remember spending 3 strange coins to get engrams from starhorse

[high lily]

since FInal Shape i think. Strange Coins are now spent at weekly xur

[civic drift]

does that mean that like the dares loot is all in the treasure chest? or u get the dares loot from xur on weekends

[high lily]

treasure hoard is still dares only

[mortal cloud]

I see

[forest dagger]

Wait did they finally post their timeline thing?

Where it is

[turbid sorrel]

no roadmap

just delay confirmation

[cerulean sail]

no just a tweet announcing the delay

[forest dagger]

I just noticed your pfp is Edna

Destiny 2 (@DestinyTheGame)

Our next Major Update, Destiny 2: Shadow and Order, is undergoing large revisions and will be delayed.

This update is being changed and expanded to include sizable quality-of-life updates and as a result, will also be renamed. This update will now launch on June 9, 2026. We will provide exact details closer to release covering previously announced Weapon Tier Upgrading, but also additions like expanding Tiered Gear to all Raid and Dungeon activities, Pantheon 2.0, Tier 5 stats for Exotic Armors, and more.

Through June, we will continue to have routine bug fixes and stability improvements, continued portal modifiers, Guardian Games (March), and the return of a more frequent Iron Banner cadence (April).

In terms of communications, we will be focusing on providing you with updates about our live game content, community activations, and general upkeep through the TWID and our Destiny social channels.

Thank you for your continued patience and support. We will have mor…

[turbid sorrel]

the goat

[forest dagger]

Frozone guy myself

[cerulean sail]

☝️ no she's a human woman

[turbid sorrel]

erm actually a human women animated character

[forest dagger]

What if she’s a super she just has super intelligence

[turbid sorrel]

super speed little legs

[forest dagger]

I’d watch that movie

[lapis schooner]

is zavala's weekly arsenal shared across characters? if anyone knows

[turbid sorrel]

It’s per account

[twin peak]

how else could she be a designer

[polar sphinx]

I have a question about exotic mission for the whisper of the worm, do I have to do it through the portal activity, or is it still a quest doable elswhere, cause I hate the modifiers and stuff

[little pewter]

the exotic mission tab on the world map

[polar sphinx]

I have the quest, but I dont seem to see the mission

I will look again tho

normally there would be the launch button unlocked under the mission if it was accessible on the map no?

[twin peak]

does it have avant garde?

[edgy grove]

Does any1 know what pvp super has the most dr?

[ornate aspen]

What are strong heavy options to run atm if you’re running praxic blade? (Running 12p shotgun in energy slot)

[glacial hound]

eager

you dont need a high damage heavy when you have praxic

[ornate aspen]

Thanks

[forest dagger]

What is guardian games and what is pantheon

They announced pantheon 2.0

[covert herald]

Pantheon was a boss-rush mode with altered versions of different boss encounters from raids

Guardian Games is just one of the four seasonal events. Kind of an Olympics vibe going on

[near vector]

Is renegades worth buying

[near vector]

What about eof

Renegades looks a lot more appealing than eof

[little pewter]

id say renegades has more stuff thats appealing spread out, whereas eof has much much better endgame, but in a single (technically two) raid(s)

[near vector]

Is the raid actually good though

[little pewter]

thats gonna depend on what you like in a raid. Its very difficult, outside of the hydra every encounter is generally considered to be very high quality. The hydra itself is somewhat tedious, but anywhere from good to great in most peoples eyes

the loot is also good, most of it is worth getting

[near vector]

Isn’t the dungeon in renegades pretty good too

What even is the exotic from that dungeon

[little pewter]

it is, its just very easy. If thats good/bad depends on what you want from endgame content

[little pewter]

add clearing oriented crossbow

Heirloom

[near vector]

Buh

Sounds mid

[little pewter]

the chewbacca crossbow

[near vector]

I can ad clear with lotus eater

I love lotus eater

So what would you recommend I buy first eof or renegades

I am stuck

[little pewter]

I cannot with good conscience recommend one over the other, as this is a matter of subjectivity, and it appears we dont share the same wants in a DLC

[high lily]

id recommend just waiting for a sale on Year of Prophecy so you get both for the price of 1

[solar bobcat]

hi did osteo striga have the nerf removed?

[near vector]

No

The cooldown got reduced from 4 seconds to 2 seconds

So it did kind of actually

[solar bobcat]

what was it like before the nerf? i remember it was my most kill gun

[near vector]

I dont remember what it was like

I think it just had a lot of poison

[high lily]

it used to be very strong, but smgs at the time were also very strong

[solar bobcat]

is it still a good viable weapon ?

[high lily]

no, and it hasnt been for maybe 2 years

[near vector]

Noooooooo

[solar bobcat]

aw man

[near vector]

What exotics are viable

[cerulean sail]

pretty sure the poison on kill was instant, + this happened to it

[solar bobcat]

ah ok

[near vector]

All the year of prophecy keys are sold out

Some bs

[cerulean sail]

whar

[twin peak]

parasite and choir come to mind first

might be more fun to describe what exotics aren’t viable lol

[alpine hinge]

yo umm whats the best ''light and dark saga'' exotic

[rancid tundra]

Izanagis burden or parasite are my 2 favourites

[alpine hinge]

parasite?

huh

[rancid tundra]

It's a post wq campaign mission wuest

[alpine hinge]

oh i meant in the exotic momument

[rancid tundra]

Are you meaning best options to buy from the kiosk or something?

[alpine hinge]

for ciphers

[rancid tundra]

Ah, I see

[unreal drum]

How often do the T3 chests respawn in throne world

[fickle fulcrum]

is there a way to get the exotic hunter armor w out doing legend? *from renegades

[cerulean sail]

you can buy it next to Aunor in the cantina sometimes

i forget whether or not it requires one prior legendary campaign completion

[fickle fulcrum]

i knew you could buy jetpack from the catina didnt know you could buy other classes

i guess that makes sense that you'd be able to

[cerulean sail]

it will show as your class' exotic

[fickle fulcrum]

yeah

tanks

[severe epoch]

is there any way to get mothkeeper's wraps other than novel?

[fickle fulcrum]

no i dont believe so

[severe epoch]

damn

[fickle fulcrum]

just gotta wait for xur to come back

n get the cipher quest

[cerulean sail]

probably the vex strike force on Neptune

but that's like... boring

[fickle fulcrum]

ohhh i forgot about that existing

[cerulean sail]

and a lot of waiting

[fickle fulcrum]

not even prob it would drop it

[severe epoch]

i have like 2 ciphers

[fickle fulcrum]

then you can get it

[severe epoch]

its the engram thats annoying to get

[fickle fulcrum]

w an exotic engram

oh

[unreal drum]

You can also key it from using keys in the lawless frontier activity

[fickle fulcrum]

do legend lost sectors

for exo engrams

[severe epoch]

wait its that easy to get?

[fickle fulcrum]

yes

well

lost sectors for engrams

[cerulean sail]

not guaranteed but farming expert lost sectors isn't that hard

[fickle fulcrum]

^

[tropic flame]

FOR DEFENSIVE MODE OF THE PRAXIC BLADE, HOW DO YOU GUARD?

oops caps

[cerulean sail]

set a key in your keybinds

[tropic flame]

i know how to do the bullet deflecty thingie

[tropic flame]

okie ty

[cerulean sail]

well that's the guard

[tropic flame]

ooh ok

ty

[cerulean sail]

[solar bobcat]

does anyone know how to get thorn catalyst

[cerulean sail]

likely portal activity completions, check in collections → patterns & catalysts

[solar bobcat]

thank you

[dapper ermine]

What’s the best free to play subclass for hunters rn?

[glad crag]

Arc

[fickle saddle]

can you not pick up two standards in the 2nd encounter of duality?

When I killed the 2nd standard dude to try to pick up another he like made a noise and then my timer went to near zero and i wiped

[dapper ermine]

Where would u rank hunters rn tho

[glad crag]

Overall? 3rd place for effective ease of use, 2nd place for pve power

[dapper ermine]

What’s 1st place in both those categories

[glad crag]

They are very strong offensively and defensively in 1-2 builds

[glad crag]

Warlock by a long shot

[dapper ermine]

My other slots r void warlock nd solar titan

[dapper ermine]

Is it cause of the bug

[glad crag]

No

I don’t even use the bug

[dapper ermine]

And what would u say is the best warlock subclass rn

The funny thing abt this game is I hear sm diff opinions someone told me hunters best late game
U say warlock nd someone else said titan

[glad crag]

F2P would be Void, with second place being arc

[glad crag]

Hunter has the biggest playerbase no doubt, but they have a higher skill level to be effective. And this is coming from someone who has been a hunter for pretty much the entire game

And if someone says “skill issue”, then it only shows how much easier the other classes are on a basic level

[dapper ermine]

So you’d say warlock is better

[glad crag]

Easier, yes

Hunter also needs a more detailed stat distribution to be effective

[dapper ermine]

I don’t mind easier I just prefer which better for pve

[glad crag]

Yeah it’s better

[dapper ermine]

And where does titan fall

[glad crag]

Easier to make high Melee and Grenade go together on the other classes, because you don’t have to deal with dodging

[near vector]

Warlock is sooooo good

I love my arc buddy

[glad crag]

Not as essential as it used to be, but it didn’t lose its power

I would say it is the most boring in that it doesn’t take a lot to get things going

I would also say that Titan has good PvE builds in every subclass, unlike the other two

[near vector]

Add new class to destiny 2

[glad crag]

Paladin class

[blissful arch]

For how are you saying there is a best ?

All class need to be used for the specific activity you are doing

How is there best ? Each strong at certains

[brave canyon]

At no point in that message did they say any class was the best

Not sure what you read

[dapper ermine]

Do u think arc is better than void

[near vector]

No

[dapper ermine]

Is the thread subclass free

[near vector]

No

U need light fall

[blissful arch]

English not first language but I can read well for them to say "Yeah it's better" for to think it is the best ?

How is it better ?

Each are good

[dapper ermine]

So arc is the best hunter subclass free to play

[brave canyon]

I don’t even see them calling something better in that message

[blissful arch]

Maybe the discord reply is wrong. Let me show you.

[severe epoch]

someone asks them whether warlock is better and they respond that warlock is easier

[near vector]

I’m not sure with hunter I don’t play hunter

[severe epoch]

not confirming which is

[blissful arch]

Here @brave canyon

[severe epoch]

oh that

[blissful arch]

For how is it better ?

[brave canyon]

I mean warlock is without a doubt the strongest class in the game right now all around

[severe epoch]

imo warlock has the best support and really good dps

[near vector]

Yesssssss

[severe epoch]

BUT which class is the best is fully subjective

[near vector]

Just like starfire protocol days

[severe epoch]

each class can be made effective with the right build

[blissful arch]

Per the "all around" So it is mostly best but sometimes other class better. But for the meaning that it is most warlock best and less other class ?

Sorry the wording is bad here

[severe epoch]

i think the main point to be drawn here is that warlock is the best all rounder and works in any situation

like best as in versatile rather than best as in superior in one specific task

[blissful arch]

Ok 👌 No problem with this

[brave canyon]

There’s also a reason just about every team went into contest EQ with 3 warlocks and that was before we even knew about chunking

[severe epoch]

^^^

[near vector]

What is chunking

[brave canyon]

Void nade bs

Contraverse

[near vector]

Whaaaaaat

Is it better than buddies???

My buddies are crazy

Grenade buddies

[brave canyon]

Where tf you been G that shit been busted for months now

[cerulean sail]

yeah

[blissful arch]

For the contraverse it will be to boss DPS + big damage

[brave canyon]

It’s doing unintentional metric fuck tons of damage

[near vector]

I haven’t been playing much destiny I just got back into it pretty much

Is it bugged?

That’s why it’s so good

[cerulean sail]

yes

[brave canyon]

Ya

It’s not intended to be preforming how it is

[cerulean sail]

better chunks the higher your fps

[near vector]

Oh

[brave canyon]

But Bungie doesn’t care anymore so it’s been going on for months

[near vector]

I play on Xbox so my fps sucks

[cerulean sail]

unfortunate

[near vector]

I think 60 fps

Is the max

[brave canyon]

You can still hit decent chunks on 60 fps just not as crazy as PC

[severe epoch]

why tf would fps even matter for it

[brave canyon]

I’ve chunked before but I just hate playing that build so I don’t

[severe epoch]

its not tied to server side stuff>

?*

[near vector]

How do you chunk

[cerulean sail]

because many things in the game are tied to fps

gravity affects you more the higher your fps too

[blissful arch]

For this is how it works .

[unreal drum]

Hold nade, aim at feet, let go

[near vector]

And huge damage?

[unreal drum]

Yup

[cerulean sail]

could be

[severe epoch]

is that why people skate with like 30 fps lock or something

[cerulean sail]

it's a bit iffy

[cerulean sail]

sure, that's why people lock their fps to slipstream as well

[severe epoch]

weird

[cerulean sail]

and sparrow fly ig

[blissful arch]

For this is not used much though

[unreal drum]

This is console btw

[blissful arch]

But = further

[near vector]

Wow

And bungie doesn’t care

[blissful arch]

When I tried : Took me 3 phases solo

[near vector]

Their too busy with marathon

[blissful arch]

Less of a damage for each nade for me

[brave canyon]

Years ago they’d have disabled that magnetic grenade in 5 seconds but not anymore

[sweet dirge]

how important would that one origin trait be

[calm crane]

What’s your nade stat

[unreal drum]

Was an old vid prob 200

[brave canyon]

It like doubles the damage on that gun

[unreal drum]

Think 160/180 with fonts to 200

[brave canyon]

If I recall correctly you can get off like 16k damage with PK before a reload compared to only 8k ish without origin trait

[glad crag]

“Hunter has the biggest playerbase no doubt, but they have a higher skill level to be effective. And this is coming from someone who has been a hunter for pretty much the entire game” I never said “better.” I specifically said that the skill required by a hunter is of a higher level than the other classes

I know this was late, I just opened the app again

[blissful arch]

No problem, it was wrong reply

[misty canopy]

After the new season pass will I still be able to get praxic blade + farm crystals and stuff?

I have other campaigns to catch up on and don't know if it's safe to just put off renegades while I do lol

[dark mango]

Yes it’s tied to the dlc itself not the season

[misty canopy]

okay nice ty

[brave canyon]

I personally think renegades should be your top priority unless you need to unlock prismatic still

[misty canopy]

yeah I still need to unlock strand and prismatic that's the issue lol

[fresh lion]

Damn no answered my question

[cerulean sail]

well there's a 3 month delay for the next major update so it's up to you

it's also subjective, imo: no

[rancid tundra]

When you do strand, don't buy every single fragment on your main class, that way you can still earn strand meditations for your other classes

[tropic flame]

anyone know how to unlock the impact core for praxic blade?

[grim topaz]

It is sold on weekends in Tharsis.

[tropic flame]

does that start on friday or sat?

[grim topaz]

I would assume Friday since that's usually when the game's weekend starts.

[weak stirrup]

since S&O got delayed does that mean that this isn't up to date?

[tropic flame]

would you happen to know how to get the hyperblade trait? i did fire and ice legendary like 3 times but i didnt get it

[grim topaz]

Correct.

[grim topaz]

The...I guess catalysts, are found throughout the mission. You have to do some specific requirements.

Outside of one of them, which is found through the dungeon questline.

[tropic flame]

ty

[severe epoch]

whats the website where you can put in theoretical armor stats?

[grim topaz]

D2 Armor Picker

[severe epoch]

no i mean like armor that you dont have

so you know what archetypes to go for

[tulip oar]

https://d2-armor-calc-lac.vercel.app/

[ornate aspen]

For contraverse chunk do u need to wait till undermine weaken runs out begore throwing next nade?

[visual wyvern]

No

[near vector]

What’s a good hunter build

[glad viper]

What’s the best thing to spend credits on? I’m capped and only buy enhancements cores because everything else seems to mostly give tier 4s

[sudden egret]

they have a chance to drop as t5's but if you haven't gotten them, you are looking for the shiny versions with the extra origin trait

t4 shiny is just as good as t5

[dark mango]

refer to my post this morning in #hunters-hideout

[glad viper]

Gotcha yeah I have good rolls of everything already guess I’ll just gamba for shinys

[near vector]

Thanks

For the warlock chunk bug build thing what grenade do I have to use

[sudden egret]

yeah, accererated assult is free damage and reload

[sudden egret]

magnetic

[near vector]

Thanks

[glad viper]

Imma go for fast talker what other weapon is best with that trait?

[sudden egret]

uncivil with lucky pants, compact defender is okay if you like sidearms

[cedar wadi]

Is there a way to track how many exotic orders you have completed in a season? For bright dust purposes?

[glad viper]

Just spent 99k credits not a single shiny t5 and only 5 regular t5s

How fucking cooked is this shit

[sudden egret]

t4 shiny is just as good

[glad viper]

Deleted them all

[sudden egret]

it is a very low drop chance but it's not like there's anything else to spend it on

[glad viper]

Yea true

[tight widget]

if I want to obtain the PB for another char, must I run thru the Renegades campaign on that char first (at least to Step 32 for the Fire & Ice mission)?

[fathom marten]

You should be able to claim a second one from Collections

[lucid palm]

im trying to get stasis fully unlocked on all characters, i assume if i already have all the aspects i dont need to do the born in darkness questline again?

are there any other rewards for repeating it?

[drifting plinth]

no ther eare not

you also never needed to do that questline

it is outdated

[lucid palm]

i mean the first time i did it was when beyond light originally released so no worries for my wasted time

[deep fiber]

what quest do you have to do to unlock lawless frontier

he is finished with the campaign and we cant do it

[drifting plinth]

unlocking the frontier

[deep fiber]

where do you get it

[drifting plinth]

should be the fallen at the bar

i think

[azure prism]

I can't seem to find anything that explains it well, what causes verity triumph to fail? do you have to do inside first because some places say you do but I can't seem to find anything that says definitively whether you do or not

[high lily]

Dunking on the same statue ia what fails it

Inside and outside

[azure prism]

ah ok

[magic bison]

Does anyone have an active clan I can join... Just left mine cause it's dead

[fathom marten]

There should be a constant list of them in #clan-recruitment

[magic bison]

Ty

[lone wharf]

what build are people using on warlock for ranged dps (for like melee-ranged dps rn is praxic blade)?

[paper swan]

Getaway artist turret build seems to be the warlocks go to right now from what i’ve seen mate

[azure prism]

does dunking a 3d shape count as a dunk even though it doesn't actually do anything?

[whole ridge]

Guys can i still get the bushido armor set from somewhere? Except hawthorne

[turbid sorrel]

not atm

[whole ridge]

😭

My hunter drip is gonna cry

[dapper ermine]

how to get ascension aspect for hunter arc

[whole ridge]

Mmmmh, how can i get some tier V engram from hawthorne?

[cerulean sail]

play through the Final Shape campaign

[dapper ermine]

what fragments u reccomend i use for hunter arc

as well as weapomns

[cerulean sail]

idk

[forest crescent]

I just got back from a year of not playing Destiny 2, and I just finished the New Light quests on my new character, where should I go from here?(And I'm about to do the Learning Light quests)

[static tinsel]

how tf do equilibrium drops work? i was getting 4 / 5 tier stuff then all of a sudden boom tier 3 only, is it just bad luck or are there daily "good" drops?

[drifting plinth]

on no feats, yes

you have to put on feats to farm good drops

[static tinsel]

https://giphy.com/gifs/yeah-speed-ishowspeed-D63HGAzG15LQrjBPRE

makes sense

so it does have daily good drops or how does this work i am stupid

[forest crescent]

Also, does Xûr change locations daily?

[boreal patio]

always the same spot in the tower now

[boreal patio]

id do guardian rank stuff to unlock extra loadout slots, or do anything in portal to start leveling

[forest crescent]

Okay, thank you!

[twin cave]

is Conquerer guildable atm? or not yet

[static tinsel]

think next season / major update no?

[high lily]

Yes because youre still dunking

[boreal patio]

not until shadow and order i think

[high lily]

Not yet

June 9 now

[twin cave]

ok ok ok so question then, if we havent done the GMs available now

can we still catch those up when shadow and order drops?

[cerulean sail]

yes

[twin cave]

and guild

[cerulean sail]

it's the same season

[twin cave]

and i will not be missing out on any guilding if I do it this way, correct?

[cerulean sail]

right

[twin cave]

cus im max guilded Conquerer and i do not intend to lose that.

alright thnx

also

[twin cave]

what

[cerulean sail]

3 month delay

[twin cave]

i heard of the delay, but thats fricking 4 months out...

which would make this single season last what like 7 months?

[cerulean sail]

this season ends with shattered cycle, shadow and order is part of the season still

[twin cave]

alright

so long as I can still catch up on the GMs i havent done yet come June 9th and not miss out on guliding Conq

im chillin, thnx nex

[cerulean sail]

[forest crescent]

Should I purchase the first Destiny to get a better grasp of the lore?

[drifting plinth]

js watch a lore vid

[glacial hound]

no

pretty much none of that lore even applies to d2

[forest crescent]

Okay

Should I still purchase earlier expansions for Destiny 2?

[drifting plinth]

and if you do want the lore, watch a lore vid as i said earlier

[boreal patio]

i would to have access to exotic guns and armour

[broken forge]

you can but i wouldnt recommend it personally, the game is fairly outdated and a lot of the gameplay systems are jsut drastically different, you wouldnt be losing out on much by watching lore videos

but if the d1 collection with all dlc is at a very cheap price and you dont really mind that it will be a bit janky then i say go for it

[drifting plinth]

yeah, d1 just feels like garbage to play

[broken forge]

no mantling so you just have to hit the edge of the platform and accept your fate 💔

[proper adder]

hey all, haven't played in a long time. i forget, are normal crucible matches gearscore based? kinda craving some of the PvP but dont really want to go back into gearing up at all. my items from lightfall had really good stat distribution (triple 100 i think) so i'd like to keep that

[ornate aspen]

What Syndicate to level first? My thoughts was either Reformation for the Impact praxic mod or Pikers to get a good Refurbished a499?

[broken forge]

regular pvp has no gearscore matchmaking

you can enter with 100 power level and you shall be a-okay

[proper adder]

cool, thanks! might do that then damn the install is big though

[broken forge]

you will get better armour as your progress through the game again though so be on the look out for new and better rolls

[drifting plinth]

also, your stat distribution gonna be kinda mid

cause you basically need 150+ health

[proper adder]

oh? did something change

from what i've seen in streams all the menus look way different, i imagine the game is fairly different now

[drifting plinth]

stat system got changed massively

;armor

;stats

[solar jasper]

Stats
Shown on the character screen, stats affect the following:

[drifting plinth]

there

recover is now class, resil is health, mobility is weapons

[proper adder]

oh wth. that is way different. i remember spending forever grinding out for triple 100 on my hunter

[drifting plinth]

yeah, now triple 100 is kinda mid

for pvp for example, it's generally 150 health, 100 super, 70-100 class, rest into melee and nade, each up to around 70

also, yk how 100 resil used to be like mandatory for pve? Health is now useless for pve

[proper adder]

damn, yea gearing up was something i wasn't too interested in. i hear pvp queues are fairly long now too

ill just tough out the 7 more days for marathon thanks for your insights though!

[static portal]

Where do I spend nonary manifolds?

[broken forge]

you cannot spend them anymore

they were part of the rite of the nine event from before edge of fate

[static portal]

Oh weird

Ty for the info

[static tinsel]

how do equilibrium drops work? does it have daily good drops and then only with feats or how does it work

[fresh drift]

I remember when 100 recovery was mandatory

[onyx lantern]

why am I only getting tier 4 drops from renegades missions at 530

[deep fiber]

theres a upgrade at spider you can unlock to get t5s

[fresh drift]

Have you maxxed a syndcate yet

[mental linden]

I got a dumb question but how do I get access to Lawless Frontier Invasions? I completed the story i even did fire and ice again for praxic quest and im at a lost because i dont have any “deathmarks” i need a dumb down explanation lol

[fresh drift]

Deathmarks are a currency needed to perform an invasion. Pretty sure they just drop from any lawless frontier content

[mental linden]

so it’s just a matter of being lucky ? I gotta do what the lawless missions over again and have a chance of them dropping?

[fresh drift]

Spider gives some every week iirc, and you have a better shot at getting them from Contested Territory

But doing Invasions usually rewards you with a deathmark or 2 at the end, so if you keep winning invasions, you keep getting to do them

[mental linden]

still don’t know how the territory thing works I have this but does it mean I have to buy everything in the area or

[cerulean sail]

track the quest and gather the remaining components from around Tharsis

[mental linden]

what components tho

[cerulean sail]

idk they should be marked

[mental linden]

They unfortunately are not 😭

[cerulean sail]

track the quest, they have to be

[mental linden]

I just kept pressing the interact button all around and then a audio started playing maybe slightly bugged for me but it’s progressed now

[fresh drift]

I remember,theres a pad next to a vendor that you click on to send the broadcast about the Prophecy.

Worded very strangely

[mental linden]

If I stack 3x special ammo scout or special ammo finder will special ammo drop very frequently?

[drifting plinth]

special scouts do not stack iirc

also, they only help teammates

oh, scouts do stack

but still only for teammates

these are the special finder numbers

[mental linden]

special ammo finder means I find special ammo a lot more frequent then?

[drifting plinth]

a good bit

if you want to spam specials super hard, id go with high weapon stat or stuff like choir of one/rocket sidearms

[mental linden]

Choir better than light saber?

[drifting plinth]

oh, i didnt know you were talking abt lighsaber

lightsaber is basically a primary

with the kinetic synthesis artifact mod, you do not need anything to boost its ammo regen

[steady rain]

Is it worth coming back to this game for renegades? I really like the bowcaster exotic but really don’t want to have to re-farm all my armor and guns for the new tiered stuff just to have a chance at the dungeon

[feral crest]

its fun but trying to get the taken crystal is a nightmare

[fresh drift]

New armor is piss easy to get decent sets. All spikes have 6 preset options with a randomized 3rd spike. I have pretty damn good armor and I only started playing again like two weeks ago. Any new weapons (added since edge of fate) usually roll with two or 3 perk options in the 3rd and 4th column, so that farm is also easier. Most of my decent guns have just dropped from leveling

[brave canyon]

Your old gear will work for a little bit since all your old stats will be converted 1:1 to the new stats. The new gear grind isn’t a hard grind at all. Once you unlock T5 it drops very frequent and the rolls are all guaranteed to be 30 25 20 so you don’t have to worry about RNG

[wintry dust]

Any recommendations on killing overloads? Just tried an expert lost sector and in the window between stuns it just heals so quick and takes so long to stun again. Was using Le Monarque

[turbid talon]

Primaries are good for stunning, but never, ever for damage.

Use your Specials and Heavies to actually kill the Champions once they're stunned.

[drifting plinth]

or abilties

[obsidian rover]

Stasis turrets and crystals can stun them for fairly long

[wintry dust]

Gotcha. Was being too conservative then.

[deep parcel]

where could i find this stuff

[cerulean sail]

the ornaments?

[deep parcel]

yeah and the helment

[cerulean sail]

the helmet is an ornament of the Dark Age Helm from Warlord's Ruin, requires the Lightfall dungeon key
chest is Aion Adapter from high difficulty kepler activities
boots are the Hip Wader ornament for Dunemarchers
gloves idk

[deep parcel]

ok ok thank you

[turbid sorrel]

gloves are guardian games

@cerulean sail lock in

also note both variants of Keplar armour are the exact same and shade the same

so doesnt matter which u get

[deep parcel]

ok ok thanks Cwispy

[cerulean sail]

i never got any aion adapter armor so i wouldn't know

[dim steeple]

Yo guys i can't drop the vestiges of light to get the facet of dominance for my prismatic subclass does someone knows why?

[tulip oar]

You're trying all 6 Cysts and not just trying the same one over and over, right?

[dim steeple]

Nah i m trying the exact same

[glacial hawk]

Is there a brightdust cap through orders

[last canyon]

I need help doing the avant Garde Player stake to get to rank 6. It shows this but I don’t how to make it not say it

[tulip oar]

All of your gear needs to have an icon with a teal background

The teal-background icon in the corner is how the game designates new/featured gear

Avant Garde requires all new/featured gear

[last canyon]

Ah okay I see now I’ll try and get that then

Thank you

[tulip oar]

Keep in mind all exotics are treated as new/featured

[lapis schooner]

do i have to redo the complete renegades campaign on my 2nd character or can i do parts of it like TFS?

[tulip oar]

You're misremembering TFS unless you just never fully unlocked Prismatic on your alts

[lapis schooner]

I had just completed it on my warlock with a friend

It required him to do steps I didnt need to do, so Im wondering if it will be the same for Renegades.

ie. Lost in light/Lost in Dark and others i cant remember

[tulip oar]

If you're talking about the Lost in the Light Found in the Dark quests, then Renegades has nothing equivalent. If you mean anything else you need to clarify

[lapis schooner]

So all in all I have to redo the entirety of Renegades

that includes the war territory begins

or do the faction reputations carry over

[tulip oar]

Some steps will be completed because faction rep is universal

[lapis schooner]

Perfect, thank you

[tulip oar]

But you still have to do all of the missions like always

[lapis schooner]

Hmm, so for the step that requires me to do the priority contract reset in The Territory War Begins, will I have to redo that step?

iirc Daily reset step

[tulip oar]

I don't remember. I did this all in december

[lapis schooner]

no worries, thanks for the help

[drifting frost]

For the equilibrium quest, if you do the challenges without being on that quest step does it do anything when you get to it or do you need to do it again?

[sudden egret]

It counts

[plush turtle]

best grenade to use for con traverse hold build

[visual wyvern]

Shouldn’t use anything other than magnetic

[high lily]

Magnet

[tropic flame]

these credit and weapon lock boxes

can we do anything with them besides turn them in for um

i forget what the currency is

like can we open them somehow?

and is it recommended?

[obsidian rover]

The lock boxes can only be turned in at the end of a Lawless Frontier run, I'm confident they can't be carried over to other runs.

[tropic flame]

thank you ❤️

[obsidian rover]

But otherwise you can only spend the ingots and credits at the Tharsis Outpost, those don't transfer to other areas of the game.

[brave canyon]

You open them by dunking them

You get rewards based off which ones you dunk

[keen vapor]

Is it still possible to get mint retrograde?

I'm max light now so I'd like to try for a 5 star if possible

[glacial timber]

you can get it from clan engrams

[obsidian rover]

Realistically, no, you'll have to wait until they eventually add it to an easy to get loot pool. Technically, you can still get Mint Retrogrades from certain engrams your clan creates when they do certain activities together from Hawthorne, but Mint is in a loot pool with all the other Edge of Fate gear. I've gotten a Mint since Renegades dropped, but I've also gotten a lot of other things that weren't Mint too.

[glacial timber]

u got like 4 chances each week to get it

[obsidian rover]

That's what I thought too, but a discussion earlier this week or late last week in this channel (I think) suggested only 2 of the 4 engrams can drop Edge of Fate loot.

[keen vapor]

One more question, The "Never defeated feat", if we have completed it with the first four mods on. Can we just run it again with cuttthroat and the two easiest feats so it will count cuttthroat?

[mortal cloud]

is tehre anything I can do with this?

[broken forge]

no, its just a ball

[keen vapor]

Play soccer, it's a fun little wait on your friends thing

[mortal cloud]

I see I see...

[broken forge]

there is an easter egg regarding the balls but this is the final stage of the easter egg, you just had to push a ball to a certain spot which would spawn a new ball in a different colour, once you did all of them, the final one spawns which is the one youre looking at, a big ol traveler
