hows does the bot work
kadi?
whats the prefix
what are you looking for?
to search what a cipher is
;cipher
Exotic Ciphers
What are Ciphers?
• Exotic Ciphers are a currency used to purchase items that were tied to a now-unavailable source (Exotic quest, vaulted Raid, old Season Pass) at the Monument of Lost Lights, located in-between the various Vaults in the Tower.
• Exotic Ciphers can also be used to focus Exotic Armor at Rahool, and unlock an Artifice mod slot for masterworked exotic armor pieces.
• You can only possess up to 5 Ciphers at a time.
How to get a Cipher:
• Xenology quest from Xur (can only do 1 per week per account, must be claimed before Xur leaves Tuesday to be able to get another the next weekend)
• Resetting Xur and Rahool's reputation ranks
• Claim from Season Pass when you reach ranks 60 and 180 (free), and rank 101 (paid)
• Forsaken Exotic Ciphers (obtained with purchase of Forsaken Pack, can be used to buy Forsaken exotic weapons, or Ascendant Shards)
no more resetting for them btw
i dont remember how many i have
or if i have used any at all
i do have to ask if you’ve branched out to other classes for other builds
solar isn’t the only subclass there is
i am aware
i hate them all
only one i have partially enjoyed is strand?
the green one
but thats paid content in lost city
they are not fun man
stasis arc and void is open to you
what am i supposed to do?
use something i dont enjoy
if you had seen the div users back in the day
and i hate em
i tried using em to complete some quests
and it was unbearable
prob bcuz they’re not finished
i play for shits and giggles
and solar knife spam is just so fun to me
general solar ability spam
i have seen a void nade spam build...
and it looks boring
on hunter?
if these nades were being charged, might be contra
no just yeet
a meta contender of warlock as of now
bro cleared zero hour with nade spam
not really a high bar tbh

you kinda will be missing out with other subclasses
plus there’s only a few exotic for solar
yes but they are just not my vibe
thats all i need
well
i dont plan to play this game for long
just enough till i have money to actually play something i want...
enjoy

To get memory vestiges does it have to be during alone in the dark?
Or can I just do a cyst
Or is each legendary memory for a different cyst?
Because I just did a cyst and no memories dropped
You can just do a Cyst, but it's random which Cyst the glowing enemies that drop the Vestiges of Light spawn in. The main value of Alone in the Dark is that's how you unlock the 6 Cysts
yeah
i got lucky and got it with 2 cysts
So either I unlock a bunch of cysts or just keep replaying the same cysts until it spawns the glowing ones?
Also anyone know why my ornaments aren’t transferring
Transferring from where to where?
how can I get more prismatic fragments? specifically the facet of dominance? it seems i dont have a quest or anything to unlock more fragments and now Im sorta just lost
here's how to unlock all of the prismatic fragments. not as simple as strand or stasis, definitely warrants some guidance. spoiler warnings for some campaign stuff. first impressions more likely after the raid comes out since i want to include the post-raid mission. short thoughts on tiktok right now.
campaign missions: 0:42
memory vestiges: 2:...
if im doing the stuff for praxic catalysts all at once but i run out of time, does their progress not save bruh???
why the fuck is there even a timer
every exotic mission has a timer
this one shouldnt 
Its not even a bad timer
so i have to kill the 2 taken knights again
was lowk watching a guide at the same time so
maaaaan, buns
Team of us knocked out all of the catalysts in one run with a good 2-3min to spare
ty for the info regardless @high lily @glad crag
ill just do it w my duo tmr i cant be bothered to run it again
How/where to get m17 fast talker with accelerated assault?
RNG drop from anything that drops renegades weapons
There’s the weekly quest from spider that will drop a guaranteed shiny but there’s no guarantee which weapon it will be
id save for when you have something specific you want to focus
If you've got everything possible from Rahool, save them for something you want to focus. They might also be useful for when they add T5 exotics in June but that's a ways away
Is it possible to focus an exotic engram to a grenadier focused Contraverse hold?
When you have a grenadier archetype armor, what's the highest the primary and secondary stat can be?
Tier five armor I mean
Is there anything happening in destiny right now worth getting on for
Adorable ship in the shop but that's it
Mostly just waiting for Guardian Games either 17th or 24th
Is it the one with the tail ?
And a little friend, yes
Hello lost
Idk if I wanna take off the x-wing it’s like the best ship in the game
Hm?
Victory Dance
I've not seen it in the shop for a while
Feb 28, 2023 is that last I have a record of it. It's not in Kyber's server either, or at least not easily searchable there
99% sure it was available in bd during Reclaimation
Like I said, it’s probably in Kyber’s server, it’s just a mess of how that bot specifically lists stuff until like Edge of Fate
The latter I believe
Spec into grenade because it maxes out at a higher %
Spec? What does that mean?
A great news
Focus into
I don’t remember off the top of my head but 200 grenade is like 60% damage boost and 200 melee is only like 30% damage boost
So you want to focus grenade over melee for that reason
Spec, in this instance, refers to specialize
It's 65% and thanks

For the damage swap you can do 160 with fonts and then go higher melee but assuming this is for hunter you only need like 55 melee on running loadout
I can’t ever see nearby guardians or people on my bungee friend’s list because of my steam linked account (assumably), if I were to unlink steam, am I gonna lose everything?
both
oh merlin already said
have they fixed voltaic shade hits not registering?
i dont think that was ever a thing
is going for finalitys auger catalyst worth it
yes, its Bait and Switch
would anyone be willing to help me with something im trying to get back in the game and stuck on legendary lightfall mission
how often does banshee's weapons rotate?
quick question does gunpowder gamble count as a grenade?
can i get ability power from it
it does
his foundry weapons are daily
interesting
thanks
Although GPG counts as grenade "ability" it doesn't trigger certain perks that requires ability hits/kills like Desperate Measures and Spirit of Foetracer.
what about the ones that give you melee energy on grenade kills
whats your guys go to dps sniper atm - need a heavy dps based sniper for my void hunter - needs to fit kinetic spot
well the go to dps sniper is not kinetic slot
is there a dps kinetic sniper though? or hand cannon tbf
about that
how do armor mods work
ie
i have lets say...uuh..x ability
on my helmet
and x ability on chest armor
do those count as one mod with copies
or as 2 seperate mods that have same effect
if i have melee energy on all my armor mods
do they count as copies? with lesser effect?
my kinetic needs to be my anti barrier based on my current build - which is sniper or handcannon atm
what dungeon is the easiest to solo flawless in your opinion
Idk what you're asking on top half but here's easy mod tip
Ability stats mods increase the corresponding stat by 5-10. The higher the stat number, the faster it'll recharge and/or do more damage up until 200.
Stats mods don't have diminishing return but Font mods do. 1 font mod increase the stat by +20, 2 fonts increase to +40, and 3 fonts increase to +50 when you have armor charge.
how does getting t5 gear for the new dungeon work? I get t5 in everything else but the dungeon dropped mostly t4s
5 feats guarantees t5 drops. 3 feat just has a chance.
how do u do feats I cant really see anything you can toggle on?
When you launch you can select feats
Any of the first four released: Shattered Throne, Pit of Heresy, Prophecy, and Grasp of Avarice.
can i still get the mida mini-tool?
if i get the 3 prio contracts complete for a faction, can i swap to a diff one and get its big shipment?
hawthrone clan engram, so 2 chances a week
oh boy
Yes but since doing so locks you in for the day, you can only get two big shipments afaik
no
i can do multiple prios in a day
via diff chars
so
i can earn a big shipment in 2 days
i also did until yesterday
Has downtime already concluded?
conspiracy honed + psi + tractor vs peacekeepers fast talker + tractor
chat how do i get trials armor? there was no trials option yesterday...
new or old trials armor?
new
just random drop after matches
old i have all, except the 2 crowned chestpiece
oh, you mean last seasons armor
i tried playing yesterady but it wasnt an option
like it wasnt on crucible
crown pieces are from after lighthouse match wins
ok ok, but how do i even play? it wasnt an option in crucible
Checklist: Do you own Renegades? Did you grab a pass from Saint? Did you check the portal crucible section?
i didnt check portal but others yes
its in portal, only active friday-monday
It's only in the portal now
dum
If you're using still hunt's caydes retribution, is it the super stat that makes it stronger or weapon stat?
weapon
Weapon stat = increase weapon damage
super = increase super damage
Best build to use with nighthawk and still hunt is a 150 super 150+ weapon split
hi people just a quick one, im trinna play D2 on my pc after like 2-3 years of not playing however every time i login i get code weasel after abt 10-30 seconds, ive tried everything on the guides and legit nothing is working, ive installed the game on my ps5 and it works fine however i have no dlc so wanna play on my pc, anyone had the same issue and how did u resolve it
Weasles seem to be pretty common today, so it might not be an issue on your end.
i sent a support message asking if its issues their end or an acct issue and they legit said try the guide after i stated 3 times ive done everything
anyone has that image of exotic class items showing what perks guarantee a specific armor archetype (Bulwark, Brawler, etc.)?
Destiny have any new content yet since renegade?
Nope
Game dead?
define dead
On its way out
Impossible to say
there's new content coming in june
Plenty of doomers focusing on the steam charts and calling it dead now due to that
Doesn’t account for consoles
Content-wise, there's the update Curl mentioned and then 2 more expansions announced
Ik
Exactly. Hence doomers
But as far as content goes seems like we’re scraping by, less engagement overall and hastily put together expansions from what I’ve seen
And ofc all the YouTubers being doomers
If that's your perspective then, sure, it's dead.
Calling Edge of Fate and Renegades hastily put-together is wildly uncharitable
yes, the amount of content being released has been slowing down
On its way out but idk id like another forsaken type expansion that can revive it but doesn’t look like will be getting that
I mean the expansion itself was small and un-intuitive and haven’t played renegades so not sure about that
If smaller = hastily put together then sure.
~173k players online yesterday
here's a site that counts console players as well:
https://popularity.report
Look, the Destiny community is more prone to negative hyperbole than positive, except when it comes to old content that they can use as a comparison to the new-therefore-bad stuff. If you want to believe the game is dead, you will find plenty of evidence supporting that.
No one's going to pretend the game is thriving, but ~200K DAU ain't dead by a long shot
even though that is a big number, it's still an all time low if you expand the graph
It is. There's just a difference between "lowest player pop in the history of the game" and "objectively dead"
fair, it's trending down but not dead
Don't get me wrong. Things are bad, and it's noteworthy that the player count is lower than the panic levels they talked about hitting in D2Y1 in one of their GDC talks, but you can still match for most activities in a reasonable time. It's not like D1 where if you start a new char you have to solo The Devil's Ruin strike the campaign makes you do because nobody's running it.
would be curious to see what d1 numbers look like compared to d2
Sadly I don't think d1 api exposes any of that so there's no public data on that
Forsaken at its lowest during season of the drifter almost hit coo numbers too
I don't think comparing to coo really lets any conclusion about the future be drawn
Final shape episodes were already below coo daily active player numbers
Scaling the dev team back up and actually releasing content lol

loling
leave my wholesome skeleton crew alone
There's no reason it's out of the question either
surely now that Marathon is out the door teehee
It's not like d2 was losing money, bungie was just throwing money at dumb R&D projects
And only one out of several panned out
and then destiny rising rolled worst mismanagement ever
Lol bungie wanted to codevelop destiny rising originally
One of those layoff rounds was basically the entire mobile game team they hired because they were so convinced netease would actually codevelop the game
maybe they should have
Idk though the entire problem since tfs has just been that the content all sucks
this is true
Episodes were for the most part lackluster hence the complete lack of retention
all they have to do is make an actually good expansion and have an actual live service team
and back to weekly power increases 
and not requiring everything to be completed on ultimate
the game doesnt need to go back to time gating shit to give you a reason to play it
If i complete the witch queen on legendary will i get exotic armor?
nobody should care if numbers drop off 3 weeks into a season quite honestly
uh yeah it does
they just have to go back to the old content release schedule at this point really
seasons work as long as they are frequent
well yeah that was obvious from edge of fate month 1
retentionmaxxing is what killed the game during episodes
acts and whatnot
a lot of changes this year have been very good for the game and just came alongside zero content
i'm going to be completely real i don't remember a thing
stats rework i guess
which hasn't changed the hunter stat problem
i mean more core changes
the portal itself is an objectively good system and the issue with it is how pushed it is since it's all they really have to offer as live service content rn
if i have to go through my modifiers smorgasbord again This Message has been removed by moderators
activities being brought back sure
again im not talking about portal + modifiers
the portal itself is good, the modifer shit only exists to try and create a gameplay loop
because they had none
oh so not the main part of the portal
this year has a lot of stuff people have genuinely been asking for but it just also has nothing new for 5 months straight after an expansion
people had also been asking for no more vaulting and a change from the weekly seasonal story format, which was resolved by doing no seasonal content and no seasonal story
win!
does it cost money/silver to change your bungie id?
No but you have limited uses
just a name change token which are seldom given out by bungie
only when they make a mistake 
meh recently it has been every couple months
they just did another refresh because server slam was deleting people's names
when people get hit by a rename wave for no reason
I like seeing redacted names
what class is best to solo equilibrium dungeon?
is it chunk warlock? or bonk titan? or grapple hunter?
i feel like i can make none of them work X_X
best as in easiest?
the options you are refering to are for highest dps
ok then easiest i think
praxic with getaway artist on warlock or hunter with any ascension build
praxic blade makes it easy to stay alive after dps if you don't hit the threshold
So I was playing earlier and I saw someone use something not sure what is was but pretty much a bunch of blueish purple ball came out and started exploding into more of them and I was wandering what it was
probably this
Something something void grenade
Sniper + void nade ?
I might have a video of it because I did a screen recording of it so lemme check
Could have been almost any of them
yup, manacles voidlock
Okay thanks
Wrong server
i dont think there's any question here?
nice
i think this guy is cheating
on you?
they're my ex
what happened
uhhh... destiny 3 came out
ok but seriously idk what to do as a new player, i kinda ran out of things to do?
I guess.... it was not destiny 2 be together
you see the maps with shitload of planets and shits?
but then what... just start picking random legacy's to do?
look top right there, click it
?
what dlcs you got
none, im f2p and will be that way for the forseeable future
ru on steam?
ye
onesec
?
if you scroll left more you can see the uhhh timeline. story thingy
ok... 🤔
did you finish the quest and thingy in cosmodrone?
yes. i believe so
i did a mission for the commander dude and then that was it, nothing happened after that
I'll uhhh be honest with you, uhm uhh this game is a glorified demo if you'rs not paying for any of the dlcs which do also go on sale regularly cheap
ive been just following renegade for the moment since nothing else seems doable
oh ye thats the trial lol
you got three classes, Titan, Warlock and Hunter
and in those classes you can pick subclasses
arc, void, stasis and solar for f2p iirc
you are correct
@nimble gull u can do legacy: beyond light
phew
icl I was a little nervous and sleepy
strand and prismatic subclasses are paid afaik iirc icl ngl
bro how many abbreviations can you put
this planet europa you see there, go there and take quest and do campaign there, its free and you get a subclass called stasis, its fun and doable, NOW
can you get that one sniper the a499 or whatever it eas without buying the renegades dlc? if so then how
that one cannot be gooten without getting renegades iirc
you need renegades to get the renegades gear
you can technically get some of it without renegades
it is not worth the effort
bruh
spending weeks and weeks to pick up 3 coins on the ground in the cantina for a single weapon
so apparently helion is nerfed and now I need to remove an fragment, just wonder which one is least useful for nezrac's sin
hellion hasnt been touched what
it had three fragment slots before
well over a year ago at this point
yeah i just returned
hellion is still the best secondary aspect (unless its a melee build)
And now nade stat buffs its damage
you should be using Protection for 15% damage resist, Purpose for more damage resist, dominance for weaken and ig Balance for more ability regen
So it’s worth the lost of a fragment
hmm, i will try switch protection with bravery since i carry the matching weapons, thanks for the help
i dont recommend using double primary
also Unraveling Rounds isnt doing anything since youre using Arcane Needle as your melee
Also considered a primary
alright
also, that exotic is bad
not bad
huh, i thought it was
no, but its definitely better on pure void
well nezrac sin works better on pure void
For t5 dungeon loot how many feats do I have to unlock? And do I have to do a run through everytime to unlock a new feat?
4 feats for t5
yes
So I need like 4-5 clears before I can get t5?
If I’m thinking about that right
Each time I add a feat
should just be 3 (since you should start with 1), iirc each clear you have to add more feats
Ohhhh okay
i cant say for sure on the unlocking part though, as i was never fireteam lead
You can also just be pulled in without unlocking shit and unlock all the slots at once
Whaaaa
It doesn't check if the fireteam has the feat slots locked or anything
i mean, people lfg for 4 feat quite often soo
I mean you'd just join a 4 feat run bc that's the best way to farm gear yea
Go to big LFG discord and look for the 4 feats just make sure you know how to do the challenges
I copied this build from a tiktok. The build grapples then melees back to back. How is he getting his grapple back?
the Navigator exotic trace rifle
Thank you!
Mkay
Thanks man
Should I come back to D2?
(Btw, I left during forsaken season of the forge)
sure, lots of content to catch up on
And what content should I buy first?
is anything on sale?
I heard about the vault, so yeah, it's kinda worrying and I don't know what to get
you can get 95% of content with the 2 bundles, legacy collection and year of prophecy but those two are usually only good value when on sale
They aren't right now?
i don't track sales
so you'll have to check your store
but they do go on sale often
dont think so, but most likely we’ll have one soon
usually one around start of april iirc
that or around guardian games
In ps5? Or steam?
usually is on all platforms
yeah
pc still has more sales cause greenmangaming and humblebundle exist
and those give steam keys
also pc i think generally has better discounts
iirc, at one point on ps store, legacy collection was usual $70
while each dlc in it was like $3, with just tfs being $9
for a total of ~$22
on steam legacy collection always goes on sale as well
Thanks
also the content vault hasnt been a thing for years
Hello. New player and could use some advice.
I'm currently rank 5 and wish to rank up, and the only requirement I'm missing is an expert solo ops. However, that requires "new gear" and while I have enough at a decent level, I haven't been able to find a "new gear" gun which uses primary ammo, so I end up floundering without ammo on every attempt. Is there some way I can target a drop that might give me such a weapon?
not many great primary new gear weapons this season, I would just use an exotic primary
do you have renegades? that has some good primaries
No, I am playing the free content. I'm just wondering if there are specific portal activities that are more likely to drop what I need.
solo, fireteam and arena ops share the same loot pool, so your only bet is to play the activitiy the has a daily focus for a weapon you want
it's the icon on the activities on the top row
will display a weapon or armor piece that's the daily focus for that activity
Sorry, I'm an idiot. Which activities/where?
for example, fireteam ops might look like this
in the example, inverted spire will drop gloves, glassway a sidearm
and technocrat also a sidearm
in portal
Ooh okay. Thank you.
when do the rest of the GM Conquest release
Assume june unless they say otherwise
gah lee
Is Atheon still soloable with killshot bugged artifact perk or is it fixed
how often does the sieve activity appear on kepler
104 minutes according to sources online
the next one is in 45 minutes
i havent played in a few months, just want to know how's the state of the game rn?
ts still ass or
If the last time you played was around/after Renegades, nothing significant has changed and likely won't until the update formerly known as Shadow and Order releases on June 9th
its fine ty i got it already
Pretty decent but there's a large content drought ahead
this whole content year has been a content drought
We've gotten a decent amount of content, but the next few months are going to be very dry
maybe
Probably, I'm very confident some nerd in #📚lore-discussion is well versed in both necromancy and the scorn
wheres the homeless eliksni dude?
Pins has his spawn locations
thanks mate
Worth it or nah
I like the moon a lot, isn’t that shadowkeep?
Yep and it’s included in Legacy Collection
The campaign of Shadowkeep (and Beyond Light) were both made free to play but anything else included with them, like Exotics, Raids, Dungeons, etc. still requires the paid content to access
and it also includes all the dlcs that are way better than shadowkeep
in every way
at that price yea, you're getting basically all the important content other than dungeon keys
since its everything but dungeon keys and this year's mid dlcs that dont add much to the game
out of this year, renegades is the one that's not dogshit btw @magic sequoia
though year of prophecy is usually like $5 more on sale and gives both and tdp is easily at least a $5 raid
I mostly just want to enjoy the moon, the witch queen stuff, and like forsaken?
Idk what that one is
legacy collection is every dlc up to final shape
gives you all the subclasses and a majority of the content
true
you cant do much better
trust me, shadowkeep is sooooo incredibly mid
cool destination but campaign hella mid
shadowkeep is also a bad example because literally all the content there is f2p other than the dogshit ass raid and dungeon
the first dlc where you actually gain anything to do by buying it is witch queen
What’s a raid 😅
6 man non-matchmade pve content
So just a bigahh dungeon
sure except not (intended to be) soloable and stuff
raids and dungeons could be lumped together though yea
its not ass but its not good
its aight
its like
truly mid rn
if you love d2 youll probably have fun
His i was wonderingnif yall can help me kill the zagan glorious

Why is it all grey?
Haven't played in a year. Have they made any big changes?
That was quick
;stats is a big one
Stats
Shown on the character screen, stats affect the following:
• Weapons - 0-100: improved weapon handling/reload speed and damage against Minor and Elite combatants. 101-200: increases chance for ammo bricks to contain more ammo and increases damage against Minibosses and Bosses.
• Health - 0-100: grants health on orb pickup and improves flinch resist. 101-200: shield regen starts faster and takes less time to recharge and inceases shield HP for PVE.
• Class - 0-100: improved class ability regeneration speed and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: grants an overshield on class ability cast.
• Grenade - 0-100: improved grenade regeneration speed and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: increases grenade damage.
• Super - 0-100: improved super gains for damaging targets and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: increases super damage (well of radiance and ward of dawn have increased duration instead)
• Melee - 0-100: improved melee regeneration speed and increased gains from external or scalar sources. 101-200: increases powered/unpowered/glaive melee damage.
oh yea I remember seeing that. They made grinding gear even more tedious? -_-
not really?
anything else new?
armor has way less rng than before
and t5s roll 3 perks per column so farming gun rolls is way faster than before too
have they made new abilities and such for subclasses?
portal exists now, this year has been pretty slow content-wise
no lol
how good is this
darci is one of the worse exotic heavies typically and is only decent-ish this season due to sniper perks in artifact
very much gets gapped by other heavies tho
ok, im asking because it just appeared in my stuff idk how i got it lmao
random exotic engram or something
i put it there
sorry
i can take it back if you’d like
any y1 exotic weapon just comes from like
sure pluh
getting exotic engrams until you have them all
is gallahorn good by anychance
also exotic weapons are as a general rule not random rolled so they will only drop once and can just be regrabbed from collections at any time after that
uhh
yes and no
as a dps weapon it sucks but it has add clear
also it buffs other people's legendary rocket launchers so if a team is doing rocket dps there always has to be one guy on it usually
one of my buddies said somthing about somethinghorn and if i used it in some scenerios my fireteam will love me essenstially
ohhhh
darci is actually similar
gjallarhorn
it's like gjally for snipers
as a general weapon too it's not bad or anything but it's a utility wep
it’s fun adclear
it's basically doomed to do less damage than normal rockets since it doesnt do impact damage and its whole thing is it gives its perk to your teammate's rockets leaving it as basically a perkless rocket with 2 in the mag, but the seekers do delete rooms of adds
and for most content it's still a rocket so the damage is still enough to work
if you're looking for dps weapons most exotic heavies arent all that good, wolfsbane/leviathan's breath or whisper/parasite are the only easy to get exotics that are like immediately worth having around for that purpose
i guess i should mention tractor too
doesnt do damage but gives a massive debuff for the really good special weapons we have rn
lot of exotics are kind of mid or niche in regards to dps
legendary weapons ex: rockets just have access to really good damage perks so exotics have to do something unique to bring value rn
and these 4 are just kind of meta defining atm
thx
everything here is through the lens of endgame content/raiding but it's a useful reference to see good options for weapon types https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JM-0SlxVDAi-C6rGVlLxa-J1WGewEeL8Qvq4htWZHhY/edit?gid=1062099834#gid=1062099834
shopping list tab is a pretty good list of weapon roles you probably want around and a few options to fill each too, though not everything will be obtainable rn ex: returned memory, theres alternatives listed in those cases
is TC better than thousend voices in terms of DPS?
i got both and idk which one to use
tractor cannon isn't a dps weapon in and of itself but it applies a 30% weaken on enemies hit with it
ohh ok
and there's so many strong special dps weapons + your team that it is very often worth someone using one
strongest weaken in the game excluding void hunter tether
1kv is a pretty mid dps weapon though
a lot of exotic heavies kind of loosely sit in the 3000 sustained dps range
even here there's a couple special weapons that are putting up similar numbers, but then you go look at better weapons and very few are exotic
rocket pulses are kind of the benchmark rn since they are special weapons that just perform objectively as well as heavy GLs rn with no real specific setup needed
to be clear though in most content you can just use whatever you want really
there's also a separate niche of burst/swap weapons like parasite/grand overture
what numbers mean what
like the far right numbers and the ones next to those
dps and total damage
i think
prob should've got the column labels in the pictures yea
and the perks and stuff is whats on the left side?
yea
plus there's some assumptions made like the use of 3 surges + well + tractor cannon + 200 stats
unless it says otherwise on the left
so whats total dmg referring to
the total damage of the full reserves
praxic blade does 1.3 mili full reserves???
which is more and more relevant as of recent for the game with bosses like this starting to exist
1.9m on solar impact core lol
ive seen enough buff outbreak
o thats why the dps is so low huh
the total damage is that high because offensive form gives it nearly infinite ammo
yea
the sustained tab also doesnt take into account swaps or anything so it's hard to use it to assume the damage of a given rotation
is that an aspect
yes
o
feel the flame is also part of the real verity helmet
and not class item
which is the thing that gives you like 5 second fusion nade cds
thats a class item perk? or the helmet thing
alr alr
which over doubles the damage of fusions
those grenade spam ones are pretty theoretical and not really doable in most content since you need at least two people able to upkeep 5 stack verity the whole time
which means they have to shoot an add every 4 seconds
starfire is the only solo alternative really but the actual damage from it would be less than half and it'd end up being less damage to use starfire over just using sanguine or something
would u say running that would be better for solo stuff than the contraverse spam?
absolutely not assuming you're chunking lol
the chunking abuse is good because it's like 5xing the damage it's supposed to do
whats chunking
the reason that contraverse spam w/ handheld supernova is popular rn
server side lag causes the hits to register multiple times
ends up doing ~5x the intended damage on avg at high fps at least
o me just chucking a nade is all i need to do for that then?
it requires echo of undermining + contraverse hold w/ handheld supernova and then placement and framerate can impact it
whats handheld supernova
charged magnetic grenade
oh then yeah starfire would do that better but so would like
nothing manacles scatters
or contraverse axion/scatter
vortex nades just arent that good
starfire itself isnt that good
k so me just swapping from vortex to magnetic will make a world of a difference yea?
even without the bug charged magnetic nades are a lot better yes
without bug abuse though nothing manacles scatters are kind of the premier room clear nade
as is prismatic getaway artist
how can i level up my rewards pass quickly
iirc, at 60 fps it's like 4.6x, goes up to like 6x at 200
any good weapons drop from salvations rn?
drops the same 6 guns it always did
Imminence still BiS strand smg but worse than multimach, Non-Denouement is the best bow but unfortunately is a bow, Nullify is a pulse rifle, Summum Bonum slightly worse than Synanceia, Forthcoming Deviance BiS glaive but is a glaive, Critical Anomaly is a pvp snipe
Isn't guardian games suppose to be happening
next reset probably
it WAS scheduled for the 3rd according to the API but was likely pushed back to not interfere with marathon's launch week
Bungie stated mid March so it’s either the 17th or the 24th
Will likely know the Thursday beforehand
the bow is fun
if you like bows like me
Marathon is horrid
its not :)
Quick question what’s the best rolls for the refurbished?
snap aggregate max reload
Snapshot sights on power weapons is still thr full 0.5x ads multiplier right?
You’re amazing thanks
I believe so last time I checked
are the pale heart overthrow bosses random or on a daily rotation?
Random
Thanks!
anyone know whats the fastest way to get eager edge sword nowadays.
is it just farming the dares of eternity still
Pretty much, unless you have Renegades. Then you can get the dungeon sword which has it and is actually a really good sword
Dares can be crafted. Equilibrium can also drop one. Last option is weekend Xur
alr bet thanks!
how can i get the riposte currently?
Just Xur on the weekends
oh ok thanks
if you want a pve void auto, Reckless Oracle from Garden of Salvation is the best and easiest to farm

Can you turn any of the legacy armor into ornaments?
what do you mean?
Like these
Stuff you get from Saint-14
I'm still not sure how the ornament system works in this game
Based off how they dont have any stats whatsoever I'm guessing they can be turned into ornaments but dont know how to
any and all armor you drop can be turned into an ornament
there is no such thing as legacy armor as far as terms go, and even less so in terms of ornaments.
;transmog
What is transmog?
• Transmog is a ornament system which is unlocked after completing Ada-1's questline.
How does it work and what is transmoggable?
• Ada-1 sells 5 transmog bounties each having their own challenges (max 10 per class per season)
• Any armor piece is transmoggable as long as it is not an Exotic and can only be equipped on legendary armor.
How and where do I spend transmog currency?
• Claim your completed bounties which will grant you Synthweave, which when turned in to the loom, will finally let you unlock universal ornaments.
More questions?
• Check out Bungie's Help Guide about Transmogs.
believe so
you can either buy synthcord (i wouldnt recommend it) or pick it up quests from ada that grant synthcord
is t-crash + falling star build still viable for something like dungeons?
Yes
its one of the best titan gets really
You can also run synthoceps, it's only 5% less dmg than cuirass, but you do need enemies to proc it
Much better neutral game IMO
You can only do 20 for each character and the max you can hold is 15, so you'll have to use 5 to maximize the material
20 per class per season, you can do more once the June 9th update drops
What a strange limitation
It used to be lower. It's mainly there so people are "tempted" to purchase with silver.
afaik, you get a buff if you are near 3 enemies right? does this buff have a cooldown, or do you have it as long as you are near the enemies
never really played titan
infinite while near 3+, timer only starts ticking down once theres no longer 3+ (approx 5s)
how often does the free vanguard armor from zavala stats change?
weird question did conditional finality get nerfed in the past year or so
not that i remember
then followup, is an ignition shot not enough to kill all supers anymore?
should kill all supers probably, yeah
i see, prolly just had a bug or sth then, thanks!
Is it worth playing d2 f2p in 2026
it's never really been worth playing f2p
legacy collection is basically base game
i did not even spent a single penny on d2
I have spent a couple of pennies
how do i get the monte carlo
Random drop from exotic engrams I believe
Can't remember if it's free to play or if it needs forsaken or smth
Pull up ;data
If you can see a quest called timelines reflection, I think ikora gives it, that can drop it as a reward
;data
yeah, that quest gives it to you
f2p as well
If you've already done the quest without realising and shared your rewards, you should be able to claim it back from collections

is skybreaker armor worth getting?
yes
it's just cosmetic
oh, so theres really no benifit?
no, armor from before edge of fate doesn't have set bonuses
uuhm, also should i put deepsight resonence on transfiguration?
no scout rifles suck
ok thanks
Its recommended to not spend Harmonizers on easy to farm weapons
Specifically raid weapons
oh ok, thanks good to know
Good afternoon, where can I get the Sunshot Catalyst??
random drop after portal activities
also a chance for xur to sell it on the weekends
rng in a looter shooter 
it's low
it's best to not focus on catalyst drops and just get them passively
I got Sunshot recently and read that it get incredibly better with the catalyst... Maybe there are other builds worth it for the actual season for Solar Warlock?? (I'm F2P and have the only DLCs Epic Games gave for free)
it's only better for pvp, it just adds range
in pve, it's perfectly usable without the catalyst
Nice, so I just need now to get some good cinetic and heavy weapons for my class
solar warlock is pretty bad
sunbracers and starfire are your only options i think
It's better to change to another subclass?
Boots, speakers, even Phoenix
💀
Splicer so no
yo could someone help with me with mod config on prismatic hunter
pve
caliban synthos build
actual lie holy shit
lie nuke
solar warlock is not that good for neutral if you dont have speakers or assemblers
(i thought they didnt have assemblers)
so in other words its good
lol
what
Not yet xd. I'm 307 power right now. Tryin' to get a good build to clear The Whisper on expert with my friends
yeah solar is not your best bet
ok i mean if youre a beginner ig not
yo could someone help with me with mod config on prismatic hunter
pve
caliban synthos build
So Void then?
yes
or prismatic getaway
with contraverse hold and magnetic/scatter nade
oh wait
dont have tfs
show me ur current build in #hunters-hideout
uh
hunters hideout im crine
its literally just pris hunter with caliban synthos\
threaded spike
stylish and gunpowder gamble
Don't have that DLC
facets of blessing courage dawn hope protection
good legendary heavy i can grab rq?
Magnetic better for high HP bosses/mini bosses and scatter to clean groups fastly, isn't it?
scatter with nothing manacles for groups yeah
yeah
wait do you have access to manacles
oh they're from beyond light 😬
Yep
Not yet probably xd
is it really bad to have low ass super in pve
Stats really only matter a lot in endgame content or pvp
i have 1 super
lol
but its fine i generate orbs every 2 seconds
70 melee, 111 grenade, 176 weapons
should be fine right
Re-read what I said
I don't even think stats matter anymore outside of pvp. we are just so crept
not if your super is shit
because itll most likely be a panic button if so
As far as I know it doesn't have any blinding perk
it doesn't get anything disorienting but maybe that one arc fragment
It can blind with the Beacons fragment
yeah might be spark of beacons
Ok that must be what I was using. Must be sliding to get ampd then shooting it.
Thnx
That sounds useful with uncivil 
March 24
You know we're cooked when people are asking about Guardian Games
it's one of the four events and it comes on at about this time of year of course people are going to be asking about guardian games

that and also bungie said it would start this month
Does anyone know any good hunter builds for late game like gms and nightfalls
chat, what makes Tcan good? and whatever it is how do i get it, tryna get that goddsie before i do anything else
Tcan?
tractor cannon
30% Weaken, mostly. Only two other sources of that - Felwinter's Helm and Nightstalker Tethers.
It's a random drop from Exotic Engrams, but you can also pick it up from the chest in the room beside Shaw Han. It's one of the first exotics new players get these days.
If by "goddsie" you mean god roll, it doesn't have one. It's not random rolled or craftable.
nah i meant goodsie as in trying to make it as good as possible for my team lol, thanks for the info
Only thing you can really do is get the catalyst for it
And make sure there’s only 1 weaken on the team lol
if there are other people trying to weaken when there's already a tractor cannon in play that's on them
Some ppl forget the artifact (its me)
How am I supposed to survive this? The second death*
Bring a friend
Nvm, I didn’t watch long enough
Yeah the first death was my fault, dumb move
i didn't know the game could just spawn you that far
Well, if it’s the dungeon version, it resets the encounter
You have to get back on the plate somehow
Meh I guess it is just par for the course. This is the pinnacle . I just lost 30 mins to poor coding
right 
I was thinking ab playing crucible while typing my bad lol. meant pinnacle
is incan and lasting impression good on hezen?
No
thats just how the encounter works
if you arent standing on the plate in middle, the totem wipes you
ive been kinda stuck and struggleing on this one
i keep clearing solo ops but idk what im doing wrong
does it have the bonus focus reward attached to it?
does this one not count?
it has to drop a specific item as a focused drop
so like the quickplay playlist
so just do the quickplay playlist three times and you should be able to finish that objective
will quickplay also get me this one?
i cant seem to get a grade B. neither objective wants to complete for me xD
youd have to do the activity at advanced and higher difficulty, it will not get this quest completed
ideally, youd do a solo ops activity with a focused reward at advanced at higher, but since i dont think theres any solo ops activities that are dropping focused loot besides quickplay, youre gonna have to do the objective and the quest separately
well, heres a coat pretty close to it...
man its tempting, i'd have to buy that dlc though xD
Is it not on sale
awww xD
ooooooo.... yeah that would... have to wait...
the legacy bundle is on sale for 80$ at 60% off but it doesnt have that
and im not about to blow 100$ on a silly little cosplay xD
but man it would be awesome
What dlc is that from?
ultimate year of prophecy
But can’t you just buy edge of fate/renegades
no
you gotta buy ultimate for the sniper
Speakers kinda cheeks now
Just use botA
whats a botA
Boots of the assembler
dont have em
i recommend ember of singeing (class ability recharges faster when scorching enemies) and ember of benevolence (applying resto, cure, radiant to allies increases grenade, melee, and class ability regen)
the rest is kinda up to you and/or your needs with your weapons
ok tysm
Do they still do twabs? Do we know what trials weapon will be here this weekend?
It’s called twids now but yes
This week is jav4 with the handcannon
Okayyyy. Thanks! Where can I see the twid? I normally get pinged I think
Thank you! Appreciate it
@calm crane ur a pvp homie right? What roll you think on corundum
I’m thinking slide shot but idk what second
Idk I haven’t cared enough about using it
Valid
I can send you over to #📕crucible-playbook
Kk
is that coin useful for anything?
its required to unlock Wishender
One for each day of the week
this is pretty false
and all different colors?
bugged
how bugged
idk
i went to tharsis and they appeared in my inventory but i can’t use it
what is that?
ah
exotic bow
oh
(a terrible one btw)
lol
if you want to use an exotic whose whole thing is barrier popping, use eriana's, you will not run out of ammo
terriblevfor its use
ok
its time is long gone
trench barrel procs from grapple melees right?
yes
Arby is better than erianas, no?
does master sundered doctorine give a higher chance for finally's augar?
nowadays no, erianas i believe got buffed to one tap champ shields on hit, and on matching/ champ shield break it ignites enemies
granted arbalest still has disruption break, which i guess you can combine with refurbished a499
you get +1 exotic boost for completing it on master FOR THE FIRST TIME
after that you have the +1 boost active on normal too
