Returning Player, what to do?

[lone wigeon]

not played much since witch queen, need some help on what legacy weapons to unlock and loadouts to grind for.

[swift flicker]

Nothing right now cause maintenance is going on for a few hours

[misty tinsel]

i say starting with the seasonal content (szn 23) helps you catch up and get some good weapons

[swift flicker]

Is season 23 legacy weapons?

[swift flicker]

What class do you play?

[lone wigeon]

mainly hunter and warlock

currently stil on current season linear/witherhoarde but idk what good energy primary to use

[swift flicker]

Hunter-solar is op right now. In terms of legacy weapons you can usually find something that outclasses it now due to powercrerp

Witherhoard I think is decent. I usually run a shotgun for special primary something like heritage

[swift flicker]

Sunshot or if you can't get then epochal integration is your friend

[lone wigeon]

i see, and what for primary weapon?

[swift flicker]

I usually have a shotgun primary for strand and for solar either supremacy or a one two punch shorty like m5

If you can do raids forbearance is also good add clear for engery slot. There's a ton of options

[lone wigeon]

ooh i still have my dsc shotgun, will that work?

[swift flicker]

It's a grenade launcher that fires a wave

What perks?

[lone wigeon]

sounds cool, which raid I gotta do?

[lone wigeon]

god roll for 2021 iirc

[swift flicker]

Vow of disciple

[lone wigeon]

ffs doesn't that one require actual skill? 😭

[swift flicker]

That's heritage god roll needs reconstruction and recombination

[robust mantle]

4th column is pretty useless in the grand scheme of things

[robust mantle]

No 😭

[swift flicker]

I mean if you want a good weapon without rng or raids do the lightfall campaign. Quicksilver storm is very good and if you do the post campaign missions you get epochal integration

[robust mantle]

Unless you just suck at memorizing things or have bad short term memory

[robust mantle]

🤢

[swift flicker]

I mean kinda but if he's going solar hunter he should easily be getting max stacks of recombination

[robust mantle]

Subclass and class don't mean anything

For recomb

Like obviously recomb is pretty much the only good option but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you had something else on

[swift flicker]

Agreed

[swift flicker]

I meant more he's gonna have to run a solar weapon etc anyway. It's nice to have not required

For ember emperyan and singeing

[lone wigeon]

those is dem rolls

I'll probably just end up asking my raid sherpas

also is the stasis primary fusion any good?

[swift flicker]

I'm personally not a big fan of fusion rifles so I wouldn't really know sorry

[lone wigeon]

oh so im guessing there isn't a best loadout like before now then

i remember mountaintop/recluse/anarchy & iza/recluse/rocket meta, just wanna know if there's an equivalent

[swift flicker]

I think izi one is still a thing

Destiny 2 is not a hard game some raids are 1600

[robust mantle]

Which one

[lone wigeon]

scatter signal and nox perrenial V

[swift flicker]

Scatter is OK

I wouldn't worry about meta loadouts too much for content. If you're doing raids/dugeonsAT MOST you may want:

[robust mantle]

Scatter is nuts rn

Get it

[swift flicker]

Lament-crota mainly
Arbalest- ghosts of the deep final boss
Tractor cannon- used in a few including last wish riven cheese ( almost nobody does riven legit)

Divinity- increase dmg and stops ppl missing rockets
Gallhorn- rocket deeps
A decent linear fusion rifle- for when rockets not viable```

If ANYONE has most of these you'll be fine in most content

[lone wigeon]

i have all of the above

[robust mantle]

Gally is only a support weapon

[lone wigeon]

willl do

[robust mantle]

There is also 0 situations where a linear is better than a gl or rocket

[swift flicker]

So is div

[robust mantle]

No way really

[swift flicker]

Oryx?

[robust mantle]

Rockets and gls cook faster

[swift flicker]

Riven legit

[robust mantle]

Who tf does riven legit

[swift flicker]

Strange lfgs

[robust mantle]

Ok

Either way a rocket or gl would be better

[swift flicker]

Not for riven or ghosts

[robust mantle]

And tether is pretty useless now because tractor has the same debuff

[robust mantle]

Yes?

If you're worried about whiffinf rockets, just put on a gl

[swift flicker]

Good luck getting 3 people to hit every rocket on wizard 🤣

[robust mantle]

Use a gl

[swift flicker]

Bruh tf is your velocity on your gl to hit in ghosts

[robust mantle]

And riven gets dropped by gls faster than most other things

[robust mantle]

Velocity means nothing 😭

It's just a skill issue if you can't kill with either of those

[swift flicker]

Ok yes you're technically correct IF you hit everything and IF you swap properly.

In practice good luck having sherpa groups hit every rocket even with div bubbles 🤣

Ok what about caitl she literally has a higher crit multipler

For headshots

[swift flicker]

If I ever play with you I'm definitely counting how many gls you miss xd jkjk

[robust mantle]

Sherpas are a different situation tho
