[unborn cloak]

warlock can run threadlings and then you can use service of luzaku but idk how good that is on hunter, it already isnt amazing on warlock lmao

[little pewter]

the grapple melee does melee and grenade damage, if thats what youre referring to.

[frosty glacier]

so no strand build can keep up/outclass ophidia spathe?

[frosty glacier]

these are my stats xd

[unborn cloak]

hunters run prismatic over strand for most builds i think

[frosty glacier]

i went for increased grenade now tryna lose it coz i switched to grapple instead of the other one

[unborn cloak]

If you have edge of fate you could use the exotic from that but i dont think youd have it

[frosty glacier]

i havent unlocked that class yet

[unborn cloak]

yeah well

[frosty glacier]

no strand builds come to mind?

[unborn cloak]

Not every subclass is a banger im afraid

[little pewter]

you dont see much strand hunter these days.

[unborn cloak]

Maybe ask the hunter channel tbh ive deadass played warlock since middle school

[frosty glacier]

dang it no strand or stasis builds

[unborn cloak]

but i havent even heard of one

its usually prismatic and maybe you can retrofit one?

[frosty glacier]

retrofit..?

[unborn cloak]

adapt the prismatic build to work on pure strand

[drifting plinth]

ive got a strand build

and it's pretty good

https://dim.gg/5iadwja/strand-suspend-spam-speedloaders

[ripe nova]

is there a bug where your dailyobjecctives STAY completed if you stare at them while they are supposed to change?

reset was 2 min ago

[sudden egret]

a minor bug to have to reopen it, sure

[frosty glacier]

how do u get the vs velocity baton

[cerulean sail]

vesper's host dungeon from the Final Shape dungeon key

[unborn cloak]

It might be replaceable with Motif-41, which also rolls Attrition Orbs but can also get ALH

[drifting plinth]

^it is completely replacable by motif

i just use baton cause it gets levels

[frosty glacier]

okidoki thank you

also in the meantime, on barrow dyad, whats the difference between taken resolution and taken divergence and taken ambition?? they have the exact same talent description

[high lily]

1 builds charge faster from shooting a single target
1 builds charge faster from shooting multiple targets

[frosty glacier]

i noticed ambition says the blighted seekers burrow and explodes into targets

whilst the others say "bores into targets"

does that not matter

[high lily]

i dont remember which is which mode

i barely used it

[last blaze]

when does the grandmaster alert featured weapon rerolls?

[sudden egret]

weekly reset

[frosty glacier]

what weapon is this

[high lily]

Slayers Fang

[chilly socket]

can you farm dungeon exotics without them been in rotation like warlord or sundered

[zenith hearth]

You can farm every dungeon for its exotic besides for eq, eq is weekly

[dry estuary]

for skullfort titan what should i buiold for melee and grenade?

[twin peak]

more melee than nade

[dry estuary]

so 200 melee and just any other substat?

[flint mirage]

guys how annoying would it be to grab aspects/fragments on a new character?

[sudden egret]

for the dark and prismatic subclasses, you'll need to redo those campaigns. For light subclasses, you just buy them at ikora after you do the intro missions.

[sudden egret]

160 + 2x melee fonts is good enough

[turbid sorrel]

Nah uh

Double heavy handed

[sudden egret]

fine be a chad and get to 180

[glad viper]

What does wearing a full set of iron banner gear even do for this event?

Is there any point if you’re already rank 15 on the event track

[high lily]

it increases your reward multiplier

[glad viper]

Okay so that’s a higher chance to receive iron banner gear at the end of match?

[high lily]

iron banner gear is guaranteed

[glad viper]

I’ve run at least 100 matches this weekend, it is not guaranteed

Sometimes you only get wild anthem armor or a crucible weapon

[high lily]

you always get at least 1 ib gear

[glad viper]

I must be bugged because that’s definitely not the case

[high lily]

would be weird if the bug only happened to you

[turbid sorrel]

Check your postmaster

[glad viper]

And I haven’t seen anywhere that you are guaranteed 1 piece of ib gear

[turbid sorrel]

But u defo get at least 1 ib drop

[high lily]

literally says on the rewards

[glad viper]

Wouldn’t be the first time ingame descriptions were wrong

Also bonus rewards are not guaranteed if that’s what you’re referring to

[plush linden]

is grandmaster on the conflux easy for power level 310

[high lily]

no, youd be 90 power under

[high lily]

event rewards are always guaranteed

[plush linden]

i restarted my hunter and need power level fast what should i do

[cerulean sail]

potal

[woeful zephyr]

Buy the battlepass

[dry estuary]

if you can stomach it crucible repeatedly was decent

[acoustic fjord]

should i buy an exotic cipher from IB or IB weapon engrams ?

i really like reghusks pledge

[sudden egret]

Up to you but IB will be gone tomorrow.

[acoustic fjord]

ik thats why im asking now

idk if the roll i got now is good enough

[dry estuary]

so double melee font is fine then?

or was the double heavy handed a meme

[drifting plinth]

i always run 1 heavy handed or 3

[dry estuary]

well i got 183 and a melee font so i hope thatll be enough

i am now wondering if i want 2 reaper or 2 outreach

[rare saffron]

I’m trying to beat these Retaliators but they are immune to all my weapons including my golden gun super. How do I defeat them?

[drifting plinth]

shoot the one that's marked

[rare saffron]

Oh ok, thank you!

[buoyant copper]

Can sm1 tell me the aspects and frags for strand warlock threadling build

[solar bison]

I need help getting the praxtic blade I'm on mission 33 I got stuck on the maze part now I need help getting to it

[dapper oyster]

New Light here, for the EDZ legendary lost sector, which type of exotics do you get?

[sudden egret]

exotic engrams

[dapper oyster]

I thought they also dropped specific types of exotics at the end light helmet or leg exotics?

[sudden egret]

it used to, like 2 years ago

now you can just redeem them at rahool

either open them for a random one or focus them for a specific exotic

which is a better system

[dapper oyster]

Oh thanks for clearing that up

Also does anyone have a good exp farm for a free-to-play player?

[sudden egret]

just focus on your orders

in the seasonal hub

[dapper oyster]

Makes sense and then obviously have the 12% boost from your ghost to

[sudden egret]

yep

[dapper oyster]

Thanks

Also none of the expansions are free right? Cause I did the legacy quest on my titan for shadowkeep, and it's telling me I can do the rest?

[fathom marten]

The campaigns for Shadowkeep and Beyond Light are free, along with the first mission of the rest [of the expansions]

But if you wanted to do the raid or the dungeon from Shadowkeep, you'd have to pay

[dapper oyster]

Stasis is free?

[fathom marten]

Yes

So is a limited version of Prismatic

[dapper oyster]

Awesome

Wait so for beyond light are the exotic quests free too?

[fathom marten]

Uh... maybe?

[solar jasper]

Check the middle link, Exotic Availability List ^

[dapper oyster]

Maybe, I think for lament you have to pay

[fathom marten]

I mean, if it says "yes" in the free column, it's free to play

free to pay? thanks brain

If it doesn't say anything, then it's not free to play :/

[dapper oyster]

Makes sense

[buoyant copper]

New light, whats the best way to increase power level?

[high lily]

portal activities

[buoyant copper]

Thanks

[viscid ledge]

don't know if it has changed much, but it used to be portal pvp especially. though i will say if you don't want to play pvp you don't need to.

[high lily]

its best to hop around portal activities with the green engram

[viscid ledge]

oh right forgot about bonus engrams

[gaunt remnant]

Best way to farm strange coins?

[haughty chasm]

I genuinely picked Hunter cuz it looked badass

Like zero thought other than “oOoOoOoO eDgY cApE”

[last blaze]

how do i farm a good shout?

[calm crane]

When it’s featured in portal or get lucky and have it drop in ft ops

[last blaze]

is there a specific featured rotation like a -> b -> c -> a -> b -> c
or is it random?

[calm crane]

Random as far as I am aware

[last blaze]

it's in the loot pool of fireteam ops only?

[calm crane]

Ye unless I’m wrong

[sonic moat]

Solo flawless vesper atraks

Solar warlock for Well because im a coward

what exotic armor? I was thinking verity for Helion, maybe not?

[steady torrent]

Is it impossble to solo Flawless Frontier jobs unless you are highly geared?

and the right build?

[fair creek]

how do i do it here

[cerulean sail]

it's bugged you have to go around the back wall somehow

[fair creek]

damn

It's funny that this hasn't been fixed in a game this big

[cerulean sail]

it's old content and not super important as they're working on the major update coming in June

[steady torrent]

where can i find a contested job again

[fathom marten]

Whichever one has a red outline. It will just say contested territory

[steady torrent]

oh so in contested planets?

like these?

[fathom marten]

The whole red everything is contested and then that orange outline on those three are to remind you that they're all invadeable

[plush linden]

when will strand be unlockable for free

[drifting plinth]

we have no idea

possibly never

[plush linden]

it should be before 2027 if not theres no point

[cerulean sail]

why

[plush linden]

idk its been years

[cerulean sail]

it can be more years

[fathom marten]

Took Stasis about 4 years to become free. 2027 would be 4 years from Lightfall's release but one data point does not a trend make

[plush linden]

hopefully by 2027

[fiery epoch]

Anyone know which unfall from Zavala is decent ?

[sudden egret]

2

lfg + ofa

[fiery epoch]

What you tryna do?

[chrome vigil]

i have every expansion in the game, how much does gb d2 take up on my ssd?

idk how to check for myself

[sudden egret]

expanisions don't take up extra space

[chrome vigil]

ok thanks

how much does d2 take up currently

[sudden egret]

for steam it says 105gb

[chrome vigil]

thank you

[balmy stag]

expect more tho

for me it is

[chrome vigil]

how do i check?

[balmy stag]

if u have it installed through steam just right click and go to properties then installed files

[chrome vigil]

ty

[chrome vigil]

yh mines saying 143.79

thabsk

[fathom marten]

Mine also says 143.79. It will get much higher than that on expansion release days, often up to like 3x it, but you can uninstall the night before and then reinstall it after launch for a smaller file size. This is because Steam essentially creates two copies while you're downloading that content and then deletes the old one iirc

[drifting plinth]

yes, it does that

[fathom marten]

And so if you uninstall, Steam doesn't have a version to make a copy of so it installs at about the regular file size

[boreal ore]

Can I get the cosmetic armor set from having unlocked certain types of armor or no? Like if I got say the armor from Ada-1 can that become a cosmetic armor skin?

[fathom marten]

If you mean regular armor, you only need to have obtained it once

All white, green, blue, and purple backed armor can become ornaments on purple armor

[boreal ore]

They can!? Awesome how can I do that

[solar jasper]

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.

[boreal ore]

Thank you!

[twin peak]

at the speed of sound

[dapper cipher]

is this build chill guys

[covert herald]

I don’t think there’s any way to actually identify or intuit what the build is

The exotic isn’t identifiable aside from that it’s a Red War exotic, and we can’t see what the subclass setup or mods are either

[dapper cipher]

i just prioritised what i want in my gameplay lowkey

[dapper cipher]

ill send you a pictr

thatsss the exotic

[covert herald]

I would recommend asking in #titans-foundry , it feels more of an apt place for discussing Titan builds

[dapper cipher]

otay 🫰

[analog bronze]

I can't do grand masters, can someone give me tips. I build to fight them and can't destroy them

[covert herald]

Are you talking solo or even with teammates?

[analog bronze]

Both

I'm playing with a friend and we're struggling. We don't know what to do

We don't wanna be carried we wanna know what we're doing wrong

Mainly barrier champion

[vale briar]

do you have anti barrier weapons?

[analog bronze]

Yeap,and radiant

Hand cannon cuz idk what else has anti

[exotic fjord]

To get red praxic blade do u need to do something specific of is it luck on the invasions

[cobalt mango]

does anyone know any good hunter builds for pvp? and also good pvp weapons? ive not played since the game since august (and ive not really played pvp for years) but its actually rly fun

[covert herald]

Just luck

You don’t have to win, just complete them

[exotic fjord]

Okay, that helps a lot thank you

[flint mirage]

guys what this number mean

[fathom marten]

You've got at least two quests there

[tame frost]

hey yall. im thinking about coming back to the game and starting a new account. I havent played in a few years. do you think its worth coming back?

[sudden egret]

sure, there's a lot of content to catch up on. the ones complaining have run out of new content.

[haughty chasm]

Honestly the only thing I can say is edge of fate was lackluster but it’s all worth it

[edgy pollen]

Looking for titan boss build. Prefer with praxic blade. Doing dungeon n bosses taking forever. Dps to low and not sure what to do to improve

[sudden egret]

if you are looking for a sword dps option, try wolfsbane

[edgy pollen]

That the exotic axe?

[sudden egret]

yes, from heliostat

[edgy pollen]

Thst better then praxic blade for damage on bosses?

[sudden egret]

yes, wolfsbane is one the best dps exotics

praxic is pretty mid for dps

[edgy pollen]

Is there any guides using it?

[sudden egret]

get kills and light attacks to build up the nano assult meter, hold reload to enable it, then 1 heavy 2 light attacks till you run out, then light attack to build nano assult back up

you'll also want to get the catalyst for attrition orbs to make orbs to keep you alive during dps

[edgy pollen]

Ill try to get that then. Just liking the lightsaber but its not doing much damage on bosses. Been running equilibrium dungeon n taking us like 3 phases to finish boss

[sudden egret]

yeah, wolfsbane works well on both eq bosses.

[analog bronze]

Definitely worth it I'm on my third week of destiny after not playing since like 2 years and I'm just running all the story quests doing my weeklies like I just I never have nothing to do honestly I still have too much to do I'm still like 60 out of 68 quests I have a million things to do it's been very fun though if you're struggling I definitely look up a build

[covert orchid]

Was Tempest strike nerfed? Its not refunding me dodge 🙁

[high lily]

use the Combo Blow melee

never use the other arc hunter melee, it sucks

[covert orchid]

Yeah im using that one

but it was a mybad, I was using the base targets in the shooting range. It works when I switch to killable ones

[analog vapor]

need a good exotic weapon for arc hunter gifted conviction build

[high lily]

riskrunner ig

[analog vapor]

need something for boss dmg tbh

[sudden egret]

parasite

there's nothing dps that synergizes with arc strider

[high lily]

Whirling Ovation (parasite if you dont have it)and Finality's Auger

[sonic moat]

So like, the Witness raid fight has 3 ad clear spots??

[sudden egret]

it can, can also have more

or less

could just have 1 to 6 people doing mechanics

[sonic moat]

weeeee I dont have to learn the encounter!!!

[drifting plinth]

i recommend you learn, it's fun

[sudden egret]

you should learn it tho, it's fun

[sonic moat]

stand on floor shape, shoot hand arm ring and check color/shape.
go to that floor shape and get buff, go back to original floor shape and kill arm.
careful with debuff stacks, too high and might need to cleanse on mid by popping buttons.
repeat until DPS phase which works exactly like excision.
watch for special wipe mechanic and shape needed to shoot on flying "crystals", jump the big floor energy.

did I forget anything?

[sudden egret]

sounds good

dps also has a floor wipe mechanic where you have to jump

that isn't in excision

when the boss makes anime eyes, get ready to jump

[ember prism]

whihc rocket sidearm from zavala

[sudden egret]

2

[ember prism]

thx

dont use em all that often lol

[lament summit]

whats the best special to do good dmg at mid-long range? im trying to make an arc build and im using bitter end for ad clear and lightsaber when i can in melee range but i feel like the machine gun isn't doing much for long range

arc special if possible

[sudden egret]

psi aeterna

[sonic moat]

Why isn't Heresy stuff available in the eververse rn?

thats stupith

[fathom marten]

Those specific ones haven't shown up and I'm honestly not sure why

The rest of Heresy's eververse stuff is still in there

Like, I got nothing for them

They were available for at least a few weeks during the season, I think for Silver, and just haven't reappeared since

[raw hill]

maybe they forgot to add these back in again

[fathom marten]

Eververse is a weird place

[sonic moat]

ill never understand why shit isnt just available forever

[fathom marten]

I'm at least partially continuing my education just so that I can study data science more to try and figure it out

[sonic moat]

"ahhh fomo sells more" my ass that it does

shit being available always would just simply SELL

like I want to BUY IT right now and they're losing money from it not being there

[fathom marten]

The total number of items that could appear in the EV store is pretty big

[high lily]

thousands of items

more than there are guns in the game

[fathom marten]

I'm tracking roughly 6k items, which excludes post-Renegades and which also includes non-EV items

[coral folio]

FOMO is better for short term profits but that also doesn't work when shit just genuinely doesn't come back

[sonic moat]

could make some shit available off game

in their website

login with your account, same silver balance

older shit shows up there

like 3+ seasons ago

[fathom marten]

That'd restrict it to just the companion app and their website directly because of what it'd have to interact with. While not impossible, dealing with Silver, and therefore real money, is a... touchy? subject. Not sure how to word that properly.

For BD items, I don't think there'd be much of an issue for it

[sonic moat]

itd be going off the same server and account data

shouldnt be much of a legal issue?

idk

im not a dev or an incompetent management dofus

[fathom marten]

Taking some liberties and including non-EV, three seasons ago (Reclamation, Heresy, Revenant), it's 96 legendary ornaments per class, 31 exotic ornaments total, 102 emotes, 88 shaders, 26 finishers, all holochips (like 12 or something), 62 ghosts, 53 ships, 66 sparrows, 42 projections, 20 transmat effects, 49 exotic weapon ornaments, and 48 legendary weapon ornaments

Oh and 8 FotL masks :)

In total, about 895 items

Give or take a holochip or two

[fathom marten]

To be honest, I don't see much of an issue with it either, but having looked at least a little into how Bungie categorizes things internally, it's a nightmare. I've seen jigsaw puzzles hand drawn by toddlers with crayons that are easier to solve. On the whole, pretty much everything that goes through the EV store for BD gets popped into the Bright Engram "vendor". Silver items are excluded because real money. Further to that, while some types of items are on a knockout system, the "vehicles" (ghost, sparrow, ship) are not and can be repeated infinitely from the engram.

how to unlock synthetic nihility destiny 2 ? the marathon collab outfit ?

[royal temple]

where can i practise well skate?

[broken forge]

[covert herald]

What do you want us to do about it

[sick ridge]

@covert herald

did you know: 🐇

[fathom marten]

Well, I was thinking of applying for trial mod at some point, but my Discord seems to be bugged because for some reason I can't seem to get a lot of time in the server

@covert herald speaking of, scam

[glad crag]

[edgy pollen]

Ha tried that dungeon for wolfsbane. Doubt be getting that anytime soon if at all.

[high lily]

its an exotic mission, not a dungeon, and you can lfg for a fireteam of 3

[sudden egret]

Try it on a easier difficulty

[high lily]

@covert herald scam ^^^

[covert herald]

Oh my fucking God man

Why is there so many????

[drifting plinth]

wasnt there a period like a year ago when there was like 5 a day for like a week

[echo marsh]

Maybe its actually not a scam and Mr beast is actually giving them money 🤔

[fathom marten]

See, I don't trust Mr. Beast so I won't fall for that. Parsons on the other hand...

[west beacon]

is the crota launch still possible :3

[drifting plinth]

slightly harder than it used to be iirc but yes, it is possible

[west beacon]

any ideas how it works now?

[sudden egret]

[drifting plinth]

dont run double primary, less health stat

[indigo path]

i dont know what that is

[drifting plinth]

but as for new gear not working, yeah, that is wierd as hell

[fathom marten]

They're not even using double primary (white ammo)

[drifting plinth]

trace is basically a primary

[high lily]

lmgs also ^^^

[drifting plinth]

ah, so triple primary

[fathom marten]

Try a different difficulty/activity. Avant-garde tends to be finnicky

Also switch out a weapon or armor piece and retry

[high lily]

(we also recommend using an exotic armor piece)

[indigo path]

i changed it and that worked thanks i had to put it on grandmaster

[fathom marten]

Good luck!

yes

yes, dlc's don't transfer, just progress

Okay thank you

note, all dlcs can be obtained for steam for like $20 on humblebundle

How do I get the hyper blade catalyst? I can’t figure it out

[fathom marten]

https://www.reddit.com/r/raidsecrets/comments/1pcx5az/how_to_get_the_hyperblade_catalyst_for_praxic/

Only thing of note against the post is that Legendary is required for it

[exotic fjord]

Would you say doable on solo?

[cerulean sail]

yes

[ocean sandal]

how i level fast?

[drifting plinth]

portal

[real lily]

Can you clear saved loadout

[high lily]

Overwrite it in game or delete it using DIM

[vestal wraith]

How do I get the slammer? Also is the adept version worse or better than the regular version???

[high lily]

Only source is Xur, adept and normal have basically 0 difference

[sudden egret]

it does drop from the legacy nightfalls but the pool is large, I don't recomend

[high lily]

If you want an eager edge sword, Sullen Claw from the Equillibrium dungeon is your best bet

[cerulean sail]

You can just get the dares swords if you don't care about avant garde

[sudden egret]

but if you want a vortex eager, you're out of luck

[vestal wraith]

Like whenever he randomly items for sale on Fridays?

[cerulean sail]

Yes

[vestal wraith]

I just mainly want it for the increased skating lunge

[vestal wraith]

And even less of a chance to get eager edge

[cerulean sail]

Then you're stuck waiting for xur

[vestal wraith]

Or just get really lucky on nightfalls :0

Wait, or zavala can also sell it no?

[sudden egret]

nope, he only sells vanguard and portal stuff

[vestal wraith]

Oh 😔

I just searched it up online, and there’s supposedly a knockout system that whenever you do a nightfall, you’re guaranteed to get a previous seasons nightfall weapon, until you get all of them and then it goes towards everything being in the same loot pool?

Is that true orr

[sudden egret]

it is

so you'll eventually get at least one random slammer

I hope you get eager on it

[vestal wraith]

🙏

[sudden egret]

what's the nightfall today?

[vestal wraith]

Eager and that one perk that slows enemies

[vestal wraith]

Idk I’m just in bed

[sudden egret]

now you're asking for too much

[vestal wraith]

My luck on these type of things never really fail me

Well once, while doing sundered doctrine, I could not get the exotic to drop for like a good 6 runs

[fathom marten]

There really isn't a pattern to the Nightfalls anymore, not since they bombed it when they added the portal

Oh wait, I'm stupid

Or maybe not?

[sudden egret]

maybe another rotation you can start tracking

[fathom marten]

Nah, Fish was doing that one

I had thought bray.tech had it on their rotation section but they must've removed it with Edge of Fate

Which was a "duh, use the api tool guy to check" thought but since it's not there, I'm less stupid :)

[tardy canopy]

Hi guys , I'm getting back on Destiny after almost a year of not playing,can anyone help me get back on track and help me with builds and so on?

[flint mirage]

why are my rewards suddenly short of B grade? is it because i reached 400 power or something?

[covert herald]

Yeah, the activity is just lower power than you now so your reward tier decreases

Hey guys weird question but someone posted a leviathan short today is leviathan back?

no

Thanks Jongo been a while

[wanton tinsel]

Hello. I think it's been a year since I last played D2. It was when the dreadnaught got re-introduced. Has the new updates been groundbreaking such as prismatic DLC?

[little pewter]

there's been an overhaul to "loot", with new guns and armor being tiered depending on difficulty on activities and power

all stats also has undergone a full rework

and the new "portal" system has consolidated activities under a single tab

[wanton tinsel]

Yeah.... Stats rework. I saw that. There is no wasted stat on armor anymore

Did we get any new DLC? OP DLC such as prismatic?

[covert herald]

Edge of Fate and Renegades have come out since TFS

If you’re looking for strong/fun gear, Renegades has the Praxic Blade exotic

I don’t think anything they could add could come close to Prismatic again tbh

is it ok to use macro for skating in the game?

NOPE Not at all Bungie will ban for Macros.

[fathom marten]

Absolute you can

I use several

They only dislike macros for automating things like collecting loot or whatever

Ok, so, I know it’s kinda a community meme, but legitimately, Could I use storm’s keep + thunderlord for witness DPS in salvation’s edge? It’s my first time clearing it and I’m trying to work with the few exotics I’ve got.

[sudden egret]

it will do some dps, do you have a list of the other exotics you have?

or dlcs

[spark charm]

I’ve got every dlc except Edge of fate.
Got most of the engram exotics, but I’m lacking in terms of questline and activity exotics.

[sudden egret]

a refurbished will do better dps then

[spark charm]

Seriously? I assumed one round / mag would kill it compared to an MG

[sudden egret]

the artifact buffs it

use the reload mod and snipers meditation

[spark charm]

I completely forgot about that, I put on my anti champ and sword mods for wolfsbane and forgot to ever touch it again 😭

[sudden egret]

also, lmg dps is that bad

[green marten]

what do i do now, can someone help me, i cant do it alone 🙁

i need a fireteam member with the same quest progress ?

@hearty forum

[shy fractal]

Im redoing my stasis titan and I had a few questions, what exotic armor should I use with howl of the storm and is their anyway to increase shatter damage other then whisper of fissure?

[drifting plinth]

melee stat, synthoceps/wormgods

[shy fractal]

So just treat it like any other melee build

[drifting plinth]

kinda

ice breaker is also really fun on it

[shy fractal]

I just checked i don't have it, but I heard that fighting lion is also good

[fathom marten]

Only other option to increase shatter damage is on Warlock with Ballidorse Wrathweavers

[high lily]

fighting lion is not

[royal temple]

using macro for skating is bannable?

even with 1ms differnce from a key to another?

[fathom marten]

Macros for anything that could be considered accessibility/disability support are fine

I use a shatterskate macros with 1ms difference and it's just so much of a non-issue

[royal temple]

ok ty

[fathom marten]

I'm also not personally skating everywhere all the time

I have one set up in case I want to use it because my hands are just incapable of pressing the buttons that quickly

[royal temple]

i manage to do it on my own but if i lose it once then its gg bc i use warlock well

[weak oriole]

just practice

[royal temple]

i can just use macros i guess

[rancid tundra]

I cheated it without using macros

I bound them to be next to each other on my keyboard with the spare bind option, and then I just slid my finger down my keyboard and I skated

[drifting plinth]

lol

[rancid tundra]

My heavy weapon is 3, so I bound them to 4,5, and 6, and then it just automatically did it when I needed it to

[drifting plinth]

for whatever reason i can wellskate fairly consistently but shatterskating i just cannot do

[calm crane]

Huh Shatter is miles easier than well sk

[drifting plinth]

idk why i cant do shatterskate

[sudden egret]

same, I can hit wellskate all the time but not shatter

[tidal gyro]

Whats a gud setup for service of luzaku (i play warlock)

[sudden egret]

i learned to wellskate first, prob why

[sudden egret]

it doesn't have much synergy with any build, just use it for ad clear on any build

[drifting plinth]

same here

[tidal gyro]

Ima little sad it dosent have some secret im missing

[fathom marten]

https://dim.gg/qnzecza/Equipped something like this

Ignore the armor except boots

[calm crane]

It’s easy on roller idk how difficult it is on pc.

[tidal gyro]

Ty ty!!

[calm crane]

I learned to wellskate 1st.

[last blaze]

what is the best unfall to get from zavala?

this one?

[lethal coyote]

Yo is the game fun still

[drifting plinth]

yeah

[drifting plinth]

yes

use lead from gold one for all

[lethal coyote]

Say less

[drifting plinth]

and dlcs are super cheap atm

soo

[last blaze]

which mag and barrel?

[drifting plinth]

alloy, quick launch

[twin peak]

swarmers as well could work

[last blaze]

is sturm good nowadays?

for hunters i mean

[glacial hound]

its the same

[calm crane]

What

[glacial hound]

same timings

your bindings are just wrong

[calm crane]

I can do both

But not that consistent

[weary cradle]

I only ever wellskated damn

[waxen ibex]

Same as always

[fathom marten]

Yeah but I find that it creates enough threadlings from just weapons and abilities that Swarmers just isn't really needed so Boots of the Assembler works because you're already spamming rift for threadlings

[waxen ibex]

Treat it like a vanilla 120 with a good stat line

[last blaze]

so, bad? (i didn't start playing at red war unfortunately)

[waxen ibex]

It's fine

Ignore the exotic perk

It's just a 120 with good stats

[last blaze]

the exotic perk is just a worst envious right?

[rancid tundra]

It's good if your running drang anyway. It's not good enough to run both of them, just for the perk

[glacial hound]

drang is good

[dusty grove]

Are Exotic ornaments solely locked behind Silver? I wanna look pretty but I don't wanna shell out $10 for a helmet skin </3

[fathom marten]

They are mostly available for Bright Dust too, but that'd require waiting for them to appear in the store

[dusty grove]

Ah, okay. That's fine, if they can be purchased with Bright Dust then I can be patient

Too bad I'm also competing with two other classes for what I want </3

[fathom marten]

Is there a specific one you are looking for?

[dusty grove]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-gambling-gif-3937562841362806777

[fathom marten]

They should appear independent of class, like there's a different option depending on what class you're playing as

[cerulean sail]

the eververse will only show things for your currently selected class

[dusty grove]

I'm playing Void Hunter so I'm looking for good options for helmet or boots (Orpheus Rig or Graviton Forefeit)

For the Helmet I want "Pretender's Crown" or "Armory Exhibition", for the legs probably "Tekeli-li"

This is my Warlock, but this is generally the vibe I'm going for for my Hunter as well (I can grab a pic in a moment)

[fathom marten]

Only one I have a date for Bright Dust for is Armory Exhibition, last appearing to my knowledge February 20, 2024 :/

[cerulean sail]

that's the season it came out as well

[fathom marten]

rip?

[trail osprey]

may be a dumb question, but if the campaign missions are all power level 300, is there any RPG point of doing the campaign missions? Are they just to do for fun/story? I just started playing Destiny 2 cuz I wanted a new game progression system to grind, but it seems like power level is mostly useless for campaign?

[cerulean sail]

story and post-campaign stuff
campaign missions are power-disabled activities

[trail osprey]

I know, I meant like is there any RPG point of doing the campaign missions or are they just for fun/story (f2p)

[cerulean sail]

you get access to a few activities after you complete them

[trail osprey]

so basically its just to unlock a few new activities that have nothing to do with how you can feel stronger

[cerulean sail]

well some exotics are obtained from post-campaign stuff, like parasite, cloudstrike or the exotic class items

campaigns won't increase your power but there are things to get from them or after completing them

[fathom marten]

Campaign is also important for subclasses in the case of Beyond Light, Lightfall, and The Final Shape

[trail osprey]

I see, I'm f2p, so those won't be available to me

[cerulean sail]

the beyond light campaign is doable for free, so is obtaining the stasis subclass

[boreal ore]

Okay I’m trying to expunge these red ball looking things with my grenades and two of them are like invincible. Am I doing something wrong?

[trail osprey]

oh oops i misunderstood and saw the beyond light pack but that just seems to give you exotics and some other things, ty!

[cerulean sail]

yes the pack gives you the rest of the content from beyond light like the exotics and the raid

[fathom marten]

Prismatic, or at least a lesser version, is also available through the first mission of The Final Shape, as all of the first missions are also free-to-play as an attempt to lure you in

[fathom marten]

What mission/activity are you doing?

[boreal ore]

The random corrupted chests around the map in the traveler to get prismatic fragments

[fathom marten]

What fragment are you trying to get?

[boreal ore]

Facet of solitude I believe

I need so many more fragments for this stupid class

[spark ingot]

is there any way to get austringer these days?

[fathom marten]

If yes, it'd be through the Duality dungeon whenever it's in the Legends node on the Director

Wait, I'm stupid

[cerulean sail]

austringer drops from Presage, the exotic mission

[fathom marten]

Why/how? As I understood it, only stuff from the same season could drop from the missions? Presage is available next week btw

[cerulean sail]

season of opulence weapons were reissued during season of the haunted, haunted didn't have an exotic mission to go with it so they shoved them into presage

[fathom marten]

I see...

[sudden egret]

Presage also was before crafting

[fathom marten]

tldr: do Presage in the Legends node in the Director when it appears next Tuesday

[cerulean sail]

same with the ikelos reissue weapons going into seraph's shield, the grass whatever guns in starcrossed

[sudden egret]

Wish season

[crystal seal]

I need a good void bow where can I get them

[cerulean sail]

what

[sudden egret]

PvP or pve?

[crystal seal]

Pve

[sudden egret]

Why do you need a bow in pve?

[crystal seal]

For my build brother

Plus I like bows

[sudden egret]

I don’t know of good ones but you can get under your skin from vox

In legends

[cerulean sail]

le monarque perhaps

[sudden egret]

I would just use le monarque tho

[fathom marten]

Vox Obscura will appear on May 5

[sudden egret]

That’s the easiest answer

Or leviathans breath

The legendary bows are going to be a pain to get

[spark ingot]

thank youu

[dapper oyster]

Hey if shadowkeep and beyond light campaigns are free this season, is it crazy to assume witch queen and light-fall will be next season

[fathom marten]

They were already free before this season

Beyond Light was made free to play with the launch of The Final Shape on June 4, 2024

Same with Shadowkeep

[dapper oyster]

Yes but did it include the extra side quests back then too unlike now

[fathom marten]

The campaigns for both were made free on that day. You would still have to pay for the rest of the associated content

[dapper oyster]

So it's the same as now?

[fathom marten]

Yes

Nothing else from them has been made free to play since

[dapper oyster]

Then am I crazy for think they might make the campaigns for witch queen and light fall free to play next season

[fathom marten]

Maybe? It took 5 years for Shadowkeep and 4 years for Beyond Light to go free to play. It's been 4 years for Witch Queen and 3 for Lightfall. Next season wouldn't be until about September at the earliest

There are the occasional periods of Open Access where everything is made free for week. You'd get to keep everything you earn except the Strand and Prismatic subclasses. Those usually happen around expansion releases, which would coincide with the next season dropping.

My thinking is that, if it does happen, it would be around this time next year. That would make it the same length of time as Shadowkeep and Beyond Light and also coincide with the release of the last expansion we know of, The Alchemist.

[dapper oyster]

Side note, trying to reach rank 70 in the rewards pass, there's no exp farm/glitch right?

[fathom marten]

Nope

[dapper oyster]

Figured

[fathom marten]

:/

[dapper oyster]

Can you still get complet witch queen and light fall in a fireteam with some one who owns it?

[fathom marten]

You will not be able to join anything you do not have access to, even if someone else does

[dapper oyster]

Dang... when do you think the next mass discount for all dlcs will be

Cause I remember a while back for final shape pricings dropped to below five bucks per expansion on the epic games store

[high lily]

theres one right now on Humble Bundle

for steam specifically

[fathom marten]

Most are for Steam

[high lily]

the better launcher

[dapper oyster]

I didn't know that back then I do now obviously, but right now I'm rocking on the Xbox

I thought arbalest was locked behind light fall

[high lily]

arbalest has been f2p

[dapper oyster]

Wince when, I thought you got it via the quest fro shaw han

[high lily]

that was just a guaranteed source if you owned Lightfall
otherwise it was a random rng drop

Night dude

Can you piggy back off of someone rewardranks exp booster by joining from orbit or did they patch that

[boreal patio]

fireteam xp booster should still be there

also i think it never worked in orbit you had you be in tower/walkable area

[high lily]

a social space

[balmy stag]

is there a list of what each pinnacle mission is for?

[balmy stag]

also for this, just do seasonal hub objectives and orders, the higher the order the more xp you get

I dont play the game a lot and I dont focus on them but having the xp mod on ghost and doing them gives quite a bit

(ofc will vary I have the pass, my friend reached the exotic and he doesnt have the pass)

[dusty grove]

I went into an Expert mission with Match Game and No Starting Ammo modifiers on. I have the anti-barrier hand-cannon artifact perk enabled, and was using Malfeasance, but upon trying to break a Servitor's shield, it just.. didn't. Is this a Malfeasance thing? Or a problem with Match Game combined with anti-barrier weapons?

[covert herald]

Malfeasance has intrinsic stunning for Unstoppable champions, so the Anti-barrier won’t work with or override that

[dusty grove]

Ohh, they can't overlap? Interesting

And inconvenient

But solvable

[analog bronze]

what's a good pvp shotgun i should farm for ?

[sudden egret]

slug or pellet?

[sudden egret]

hunters are top dps now. warlock is still best at support

[devout edge]

fr? Damn nicee. Can you also tell me which Hunter?

is it void?

or prismatic

[drifting plinth]

prismatic lucky pants uncivil

Okay I thought so just had to make sure

[fathom marten]

Or rather, because of timezones and daylight savings, reset is always 1700 UTC

[sonic moat]

chatters which better for lucky hunter?

[drifting plinth]

1

by a lot

has ionized

[green marten]

sorry for late reply , i'd like to farm for both good options

[sudden egret]

pellets has lots of farms: precipial, prophet of doom, someday, hawthornes

slugs is kind of bleak, only current farm is unvoiced from sundered or focus legatos at banshee

or pray xur sells a nice inquistor

[high lily]

Heritage

[sudden egret]

kind of forgot people used that

[mortal cloud]

why does this happen

stupid ass game

[unborn cloak]

You skipped a checkpoint going down into the first arena

Makes it bug out, even if you kill Brakion it won't actually progress

You have to make sure you just stay neatly down the pillar thing that lowers you there

What's the best roll for hawkmoon in pve, I've been wanting to get it but im just waiting for the right roll?

And while im at it, what's the best roll for pvp?

[drifting plinth]

dont use it in pve

it's pure shit

[ornate halo]

can you still get honors of the nine from trials

[drifting plinth]

yes

[calm crane]

U need a 5 plus ws

[hazy eagle]

Would 70 class be good in hoil cyrtrachne?

[high lily]

youd be fine with 50 iirc

[drifting plinth]

50 is for melee

[frosty glacier]

how do i get submersion (combat bow)?

[high lily]

you dont

it was a Call To Arms event weapon, similar to Gizmo Weft

you arent missing out

[frosty glacier]

any good replacement?

[high lily]

Hezen Vengeance from Vault of Glass

[frosty glacier]

i was tryna use bow for artifact buffs

[fathom marten]

Only easy crossbow is A Good Shout from the portal

[frosty glacier]

nothin else?

[high lily]

nope

[fathom marten]

Unless you think running Desert Perpetual Raid or Equilibrium dungeon is easier

[frosty glacier]

i just wanna know what the best is, i have time, but i just started the final shape campaign for the first time

[high lily]

Good Shout is the best crossbow thats available, but its still only worth using on void hunter with Moebius Quiver

[frosty glacier]

im on prismatic with moebius quiver

[high lily]

prismatic doesnt have moebius

[frosty glacier]

mb i get it mixed up, just first day using it, i meant deadfall ur right

can i show u my build then u tell me what u think

i found it off yt

[high lily]

post it in #hunters-hideout

[hazy eagle]

I have 50 melee and 163 grenade. Good enough or should i try bumping grenade to 170?

[vagrant talon]

How do I get tier stuff

[drifting plinth]

try bumping nade

but it is good

[high lily]

Portal activities, or stuff from Edge of Fate or Renegades

on june 9th all raids and dungeons will be getting tiered loot, refreshed perk pools and set bonuses

[proud holly]

What's the boost to a stat that the Font gives

[high lily]

20-40-50
1 2 3

its never worth using weapon fonts over surges

[proud holly]

That's fair but I was actually going for a class one instead

[high lily]

what class?

[proud holly]

(It's at 8 atm)

[proud holly]

Warlock

[high lily]

dont need it

[proud holly]

Even at 8 class

[high lily]

yes

when you get the ideal stats for whatever build youll end up with 25 from masterworked armor anyway

thats enough as is

[north portal]

getting back into d2 after about 2-300 hours on ps5 now switching to steam and left when lightfall came out and bought all dlc for very cheap on steam, any tips??

[vagrant talon]

So I need both dlc in order to get tier stuff

[high lily]

no

the entirety of the portal is f2p

[vagrant talon]

What would you recommend I focus on to get tier stuff and get higher loot

[high lily]

portal to get your power to 450, 470 power gives more consistent drops

[boreal patio]

activities with bonus ops or farming solo ops specifically caldera and/or k1 logistics

[olive basalt]

Does anyone know how to get the hellion aspect for solar warlock?

[rancid tundra]

Final shape campaign I think

[olive basalt]

I see

Thank you so much

[tight prawn]

Hey all, since when can I not upgrade Nightsworn Sight on my Slayer's Fang? I could've sworn I did when it released, I remember grabbing the knife, and the bell and such. But now even trying to redo the puzzles it's just gone?

[fathom marten]

All puzzles and chests for exotic missions have been removed except Whisper and Zero Hour

You just need to complete them normally now

For the rest of the intrinsics and catalysts to drop

[tight prawn]

So they were essentially made legacy then, okay. So does GM Kell's Fall drop one intrinsic once a week now or it is just RNG

[fathom marten]

One per completion, no weekly cap if I recall correctly

[tight prawn]

But GM? Or any diff expert+

[fathom marten]

Maybe more per completion, in the vein of you can get both a catalyst and intrinsic in the same run. Needs to be at least Master

[tight prawn]

Got it, thanks Squid

[half path]

is the taken knife armour sets not available to buy ?

[fathom marten]

Not at the moment

It was available a few weeks ago

[half path]

damn

[fathom marten]

They were last sold the week of February 17, 2026

[rancid tundra]

Bungie usually hides them for the season after they came out, and then after that they get moved into the archive to be bought at any time

[half path]

ah thanks

so the june update they should arrive?

[fathom marten]

Well, they first appeared in the Season of Reclamation, during the major update of Ash & Iron. We're currently in the season after that, Season of the Lawless. It could reappear during the major update in June, but that's kind of hard to say :/ The Eververse store is a strange place. We have access to be able to see what is coming for a given length of time into the future, but not precise weeks.

[glad crag]

Spirit of the Horn works with Thruster, right?

I know both Abyant and Hoarfrost do

[fathom marten]

Yes

[glad crag]

X pattern?

[acoustic fjord]

is it better to do my expert conquests at the end of season ?

[spark basin]

is this xurs hawkmoon worth this week?

[sudden egret]

usable, could be better

[sudden egret]

it's up to you

[spark basin]

eye of the storm and fluted barrel are the best in slot right?

or is something better?

[glad crag]

Sweet. Now I have something fun for prism

[sudden egret]

opening shot or range finder

[sudden egret]

a barrel with range helps more

[vagrant talon]

Do I put on mods and if so which ones

[rich glen]

Have I got like the worst rng or is there a reason I never get immortal when playing trials?

[sudden egret]

it's not the featured weapon so it will have a low drop rate

[dusty grove]

I'm using a Void Hunter build that likes Destabilizing Rounds right now. Currently, I'm using Mos Athanor IV, fueling a feedback loop of "destabilize, invis, rinse and repeat". Are there better non-exotic weapons for this? (My exotics are taken up by Le Monarque and Leviathan's Breath)

I am also looking at Echo of Instability for the volatile rounds without needing a weapon perk

Aspects/Fragments are Stylish Executioner and Vanishing Step, Echo of Persistence, Harvest, Undermining, and Instability

Highest stats are Health (102), Melee (116), and Grenade (111) followed by Super (58), Class (54), and Weapons (12)

[drifting plinth]

reduce your health MASSIVELY

void hunter just wants 200 wep, 100 super

maybe a bit of melee(max like 50)

[dusty grove]

Really?

[drifting plinth]

yes

health stat is useless in pve

[dusty grove]

I see

I am
Fairly inexperienced in this whole thing (never done even really mid-game content) so

The things I found online just said "Hunter likes health melee and grenade"

[drifting plinth]

this would be perfect stats

[drifting plinth]

HEALTH????

WHAT THE FUCK

WHO IS DUMB ENOUGH TO GIVE THAT ADVICE

nothing against you for following it

[dusty grove]

Damn I need to get entirely new armor

[high lily]

no one wants health for pve

[dusty grove]

I'm on 1pc Bulwark, 3pc Brawler, 10c Grenadier :']

[drifting plinth]

but like the person who gave it is either clickbaiting/very inexperienced(shouldnt be giving advice either way), or is just dumb

[turbid sorrel]

snail him

dont respond

[drifting plinth]

forgot

fixed

[turbid sorrel]

[drifting plinth]

ty for reminding me

[dusty grove]

Well damn

How should I go about looking for new armor
Ngl most of my armor came from Crucible/Iron Banner (for my Warlock)

[drifting plinth]

do fireteam ops for ferropotent set

[dusty grove]

Is Weapon/Class acceptable for Void Hunter? Specialist Armor over Gunner?

[drifting plinth]

can be at least for awhile

[dusty grove]

Also: I am using Graviton Forefeit rn, should I not? Lmao

[drifting plinth]

it's fine i guess

[dusty grove]

Foetracer is my alternative atm

[drifting plinth]

that's actuallly pretty good

one thing you should do is get choir of one

https://d2armorpicker.com/login

this website can help you find the best stats with what youve got

you can take into account fragments and ask it to use specific exotics/armor set bonuses

[dusty grove]

I'm using Destiny Item Manager rn

[drifting plinth]

that one is necessary

but armorpicker calculates every possible stat permutation with all your armor and checks if there's one with the stats you want

[dusty grove]

Also what is Choir of One

I scanned the exotic list and did not see it

[drifting plinth]

auto rifle that uses special

energy slot

[dusty grove]

Oh it's a weapon

[drifting plinth]

can be used as a primary basically

for exotic armors orpheus rig is quite good

[dusty grove]

Also I do like preserving my energy slot for Le Monarque but if Choir of One does void I can take a look
I like the invis synergy I have rn

[drifting plinth]

choir of one can get destabilising rounds

with one of its catalysts

le monarque is really mid

[dusty grove]

It's a personal preference (I like bows)

(I have Leviathan's Breath too)

[drifting plinth]

leviathan's breath is really really mid

for me personally i just use a sword for movement all the time so like

[dusty grove]

I cannot find Choir of One in the Exotic collections menu 😭
Am I just blind

Where is it-

[drifting plinth]

you need to do encore pinnacle op to get it

[real lily]

Can you get brave weapons from onslaught still

[drifting plinth]

no

[real lily]

Why is onslaught even in the game then

I see it in finder but if no brave weapons then what

[sudden egret]

Some people enjoy that game mode

[fathom marten]

You cannot get the shiny versions. The regular versions are available via Xur

[rich jungle]

Was there ever a mention of Bungie possibly doing a Destiny 2 TCG?

[fathom marten]

There's the current crossover with Magic: The Gathering and I know a fan made a set of regular playing cards styled after Destiny, but not any full TCG. At least, not one from Bungie directly

There's also a fan made DnD campaign, I think, somewhere on the internet

[fathom marten]

Well, actually, yes? Whatever this thing is: https://destinycollect.fandom.com/wiki/Destiny_Trading_Cards

[turbid talon]

Seventeen cards with no effect does not a Trading Card Game make

but that does look interesting to collect

[fathom marten]

Then the answer goes back to: No, only fan concepts

[turbid talon]

I can picture it now
A TCG with hundreds of cards and like two of them (probably accidentally) implying or stating otherwise unheard of lore, forcing the loreheads to refer to a TCG to win an argument

[fathom marten]

Does NetEase do any card game stuff?

[turbid talon]

I couldn't say, honestly. I haven't looked much into it.

That said, Rising is an alt universe, so as far as my personal concerns go, it's completely non-canon and therefore irrelevant anyway.

[fathom marten]

True, but that'd solve your lore issue

[rich jungle]

Oh damn those are awful lol 😭

If they did something like one piece and pokemon i think it could take off, having raid boss, would definitely live to get a Witness Full Art 🤤🤤

[glad crag]

Holofoil Atraks

[rich jungle]

Would go so hard as a foil

[vagrant talon]

Is there a way to get the martlet from anywhere then the trials

[sudden egret]

No

[fathom marten]

Most Trials weapons are dependent on you playing Trials. Xur has some, but not all. You can find the full list here, where anything with that eye symbol is a Trials weapon: https://www.light.gg/db/vendors/3751514131/strange-gear-offers/

[vagrant talon]

Ok is there a list for old guns that are still good or new gun that I can get bc I don’t have eof or ren

[fathom marten]

Kind of? @vale meadow Where's your f2p sheet?

There's also: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16ZbKYXKooN203vxEUJV7ZH8KKQDpHOyxs7st0Av399c/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Bozo's sheet is kinda out of date though

[boreal patio]

@vale meadow

[fathom marten]

Wait, I have that 💀

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BX5vc3MQNZkn7W4dTD7Z2KkOHwsb8M7fH4r2JwHaWcU/edit?gid=287222363#gid=287222363

It is also, unsurprisingly, out of date

[vale meadow]

woah.

what you talkin about

[fathom marten]

That it says 2026 and then also Renegades on it 💀

[vale meadow]

?

[fathom marten]

[sudden egret]

What year are you living in?

[vale meadow]

2027 ig

[boreal patio]

were in 2027 and its currently shadow and order

[fathom marten]

Oh my fucking...

I need to sleep

[sudden egret]

It gets delayed even more!

[fathom marten]

I got it messed up with fucking Revenant

[sudden egret]

That explains the season but not the mistake in year

[fathom marten]

Anyway, you should fix cell D97 in PVE cause it's bothering me

[fathom marten]

The thought process was that it was listed as 2026 for some reason but that it hadn't been updated since Revenant

[fathom marten]

iu

[vale meadow]

ig ill fix it bro

in 2027

[fathom marten]

Anyway

[fathom marten]

@vagrant talon tldr: use this one since it's up to date

[ornate halo]

is there a hunter equivalent to nothing manacles on lock

[fathom marten]

Shinobu's Vow?

[sudden egret]

YAS is the only other nade build hunter has

[fathom marten]

If you want basically the same thing, Shinobu's Vow. If you're looking for a good grenade build in general, Young Ahamkara's Spine is probably better

[sudden egret]

would help to know what part of manacles you want to copy

[dapper oyster]

When time do daily resets happen again?

[sudden egret]

;reset

[solar jasper]

[dapper oyster]

You mean to tell me it's not gonna happen till eleven in the morning...

I'm in mountain time for the us

[sudden egret]

Yes

[dapper oyster]

Hey can some one help me with the whisper of the taken quests... I'm stuck on the brights, and have atleast taken down the first set a couple of times on expert but never made progress... thoughts?

[little pewter]

[little pewter]

assuming you're looking for people to join you

[dapper oyster]

Well that's the thing I can do it solo, but I just don't get why it won't progress even tho I'm on expert difficulty and cleared all the blights

[little pewter]

ah, apologies for the confusion

as a hunch for what you might be doing wrong, how many of the quests do you have that require you to shoot the blights

[dapper oyster]

All three... should I abandon two and pick them up later?

[little pewter]

no, keep em

how many blights in total do you break throughout the mission

[dapper oyster]

Usually the first two sets, then I focus the boss for the last, but my most previous run, I did all of them and still nothing

[little pewter]

all 9, and not 3, correct?

[dapper oyster]

I thought 10, 3 in the first set, 3 in the second, and 4 in the last... but yeah I got all of them

[high lily]

uke does Tinnitus kick you out of light supers

[little pewter]

i dunno i dont get hit by the scream

[little pewter]

well, shit, was hoping there was a misunderstanding of what you thought were blights, or you shot 1 per set.

I assume youve watched a video guide on the locations itself.
Its possible this is just a bug, and you should report it on the bungie forums

[dapper oyster]

Well yeah I know the route by memory, I just don't get it

Okay I'm gonna try this, I've only got the first of the three quests, and I'm loading in to complete it, if it does work well know for sure it's bugged

[high lily]

its no

[dapper oyster]

Alright some give me a link to the forums thus shit bugged

Yep definitely bugged, just tried from the legends page same thing

[high lily]

have you tried it from the portal

master+ difficulty? because it worked for a friend of mine

[dapper oyster]

Well I was originally doing it in the portal page, just on expert mode as the quest stated

Yep put it on master this time, still didn't work

[lethal canopy]

What does the solar fragment called the ember of blistering do exactly?

Does anyone know?

[high lily]

read the description

[lethal canopy]

What does grenade ability energy mean though? Is it Increased damage or decreased cooldown?

[high lily]

cooldown, its energy going towards a full charge

[heavy steeple]

does Artifice Armour still exist? Was it updated to 3.0? Should I be getting it?

[high lily]

yes, not yet and no

artifice armor is likely being entirely removed when raids and dungeons get tier 5 gear

[heavy steeple]

alright I see

I was just looking at some builds and they're using Artifice Armour, so I don't have enough mod slots

I never bothered farming it when it was a thing

[high lily]

fartafice just gives an extra mod slot for +3 stats, not actual mods

it used to, but that was years ago when artifact mods were equippable to armor

[heavy steeple]

ahh I see

im running on outdated info, its been a minute ahah

thank you for the help

coming back to the game after all these gear changes my brain is all jumbled

[tribal pasture]

years ago

[fast sinew]

can anyone tell me what to do for this order: daily bonus focus acquired. where do i get that?

[glad crag]

I believe it’s doing one of the portal activities with the green bonus focus active

[cerulean sail]

Tier 5 armor replaces artifice with the stat tuning it gets

[fast sinew]

but i already did one and it didn't complete.. unless i got another same order right after

[glad crag]

Did you do it at the power needed to get said reward?

Like if you’re at 500, doing something at 300 won’t give you the bonus

[mental thorn]

how come I didn't get an exotic engram from a lost sector?

I was solo

[fathom marten]

1. Was it on Expert or Master difficulty and

2. It's not guaranteed

[mental thorn]

its not guaranteed??

[fathom marten]

Nope

Never was

Very good odds

But not 100%

[sudden egret]

Debatable

[mental thorn]

ive done it 5 times on expert and haven't gotten it yet

[drifting plinth]

;rng

[solar jasper]

Why is X not dropping?
It's RNG. No, the game is not bugged for you, or broken, it's simply bad luck.

• Bungie does not publish drop rates.
• We don't know how many estimated runs it will take for a specific item to drop.
• We do not know how much drop-rate-boosting triumphs contribute either, since we don't know the base drop rate.
• Runs are all separate environments. A 1/3 chance does not mean you get the loot you want one out of three times, it just means there is that percentage of chance whenever you run the activity that you get said loot.
• Perks are not weighted. All weapons drop with their perks at the same rate.

[sudden egret]

Did you kill all champs?

[mental thorn]

yes and I just did it again and didn't get it

[sudden egret]

That’s all you can do then. You can start complaining after 12 runs with no exotic.

[mental thorn]

im not even mad its just that I usually get it in my first run so i was just confused

[sudden egret]

Community estimates around 25-30%

[mental thorn]

appreciate the help

[steady torrent]

have they removed the cooldown thing from Striga's passive AOE?

huh seems they have

[fathom marten]

There is a 2 second cooldown on the poison bursts on death

[steady torrent]

ah

[steady torrent]

any good hunter builds if i use Striga as my exotic, a glaive as my second and a Strand light machine gun as my third?

[mental thorn]

can you still get moutaintop?

[fathom marten]

There's a lesser version from the Monument to Lost Lights kiosk. The other option is gambling at weekend Xur

[little lily]

What's the best intrinsic perk set up on choir?

[rocky idol]

onslaught or destab

i prefer onslaught but destab is fine depends on content and ammo gen

[little lily]

Oh ok

Prob dumb question but is bushido set unob rn cuz I havnt played since final shape

I js got back into the game recently

[calm crane]

Yes but the only way you can get it is from Hawthorne pinnacle ops engrams

[little lily]

Oh okay thank you

[high lily]

Bonus focus is the extra piece of gear displayed on some activities, not the bonus engrams

[late cobalt]

Hi i just got back in Destiny after the bundle sale on Steam, any tips and tricks for a new player who have some experience from around 4 years back? (I dont have the two latest major expansion)

[sudden egret]

Guardian ranks will show you how to use the portal which is the place to gain power. Don’t worry about stats much till you start getting tier 5 armor which starts once you hit 450 power.

Bungie also wrote their own new players guide: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/sections/44229895049108-New-Player-Guides

[late cobalt]

Okay alot has changed in the past years i see😅

[wispy estuary]

Is there a better way to get the Reckless Oracle? That doesn't need to be in a boneyard of a Raid because I'm having no luck with finding people for Garden

[sudden egret]

Raid weapons only drop from their respective raid. Could also wait for the weapon refresh in June and more people will be farming it then.

[wispy estuary]

Damm okay I guess I'll wait

[fathom marten]

You can definitely connect your Bungie account to Discord

Hm. Can you try reconnecting Xbox to Discord and then retrying to connect Bungie?

[fathom marten]

Oh?

Idk why that person asked a question and then deleted it

[high lily]

Just wait for the major update, itll more than likely have shaders from it be available for brightdust

[fathom marten]

Not always

[high lily]

Thats why i said more than likely

[fathom marten]

If this is for the crossover, it will though

the crossover stuff always appears for both Bright Dust and Silver

[high lily]

If you want to vent, do it in #✨destiny-discussion

No one here works for bungie

[fathom marten]

You can! It's just that this channel is for questions about the game

I blinked and now everything's deleted for a second time

[high lily]

Ill never understand what the point of that is

[modern wasp]

my posts where in the wrong cannel, so i removed them from the wrong channel.... idk if theres much "to get"...

[fathom marten]

You can just keep them there, no harm there, the conversation should just be continued in the discussion channel

[steady torrent]

is it hard to get Necrotic Grips?
