Go into rumble classic and get 7 headshot kills. This is easier than it used to be since you don't need to get them consecutively, just in the same match.

Oh, I didn't know this was changed. I've been waiting on this for whatever reason (maybe because it was so damn tough).

DevoutlyApathetic

Yea, it's no longer a headshot streak, just total 7 in a match. It isn't really that bad now.

Bought the MIDA, a couple pieces of the exotic armor to shard, and the rest on 3oC. Hopefully today's truck is small so I can get home and back to the grind

@sPider817 If you just want exotic shards you can farm them from the Exotic ipad. Buy a heavy weapon since they level the quickest, pop a telemetry or wear appropriate class item and dump XP into it from bounties or motes. If it's full it will disassemble into two exotic shards, netting you one.

Eh, using Xur was quicker and "cheaper"

DevoutlyApathetic

Obviously as you'd like but I would stress that Heavies level really quickly compared to all the other stuff. I normally just do it on the side when I do bounties but if you're gonna mote up some gear it's definitely worth the hassle.

Though I suppose I do have a few hundred strange coins so it probably isn't a big deal.

Is it like touch of malice where it's mostly only useful in the raid you got it from or did they learn their lesson with that?

I'm pretty sure it's a rad Hawksaw that makes a cool noise AND has bonus awesomeness in the raid.

EDIT: P.S. - Aksis is a dickhead. Definitely felt like we were still just missing a few light levels here and there, and Holy was basically a zombie running on fumes and shitty internet. But fun times, though doing the 4th monitor puzzle also seemed to deflate us. Until next time.

That raid was super fun. Big thanks to everyone there.

Aksis is a dickhead but I think we did really well. I think we'll either need to be further along with light levels or need to start a bit earlier to get through the whole raid for the monitor puzzle before I'm too zombied to get shit done.

Then again, now that we know what we're doing monitor wise it might be much quicker next time.

P.S. Is it me or does that raid really want you to have exotic stuff? We didn't even finish off final boss and I got 4 exotics (Monte Carlo, Telesto, Zen Meteor and an Exotic Heavy Weapon Engram)

I'm glad I got to bop in there at the end, but feel bad it didn't work out. You're right that we had folks that were a little too low, but I'm also convinced that

the boss was shooting siva at people he couldn't actually see due to lag or something. It just all seemed a bit off.

It is pretty weird that the raid has 5 exotic chests, plus exotics can drop from the regular bosses and the boss chests...

@metaghost

Glad I was able to hop on and help. Sorry it was getting so late though.

Kind of a disappointing Xur.

So, Thorn bounty. Is there any reason to prioritize it, considering I have a Y2 thorn? Either way I'm going to have to feed a thorn up, so it's just another little fun thing to do but not actually important, right? Or is there something special.

MagicPrime

So listening to the strategy from last night. Is there a reason that Razelighter is the perferred exotic sword for killing the captains? Can you not use the new Wolf sword?

Razelighter does way way way more damage

It's one of the exotic quests to complete your Book. So if you do it, that's one quarter of the Life Exotic quest completed.

Got these two Bonekruscher rolls. They both look pretty good, but keeping both seems redundant. I'm not super familiar with this archetype, I was wondering if anyone more familiar with it could weigh in?
roll 1
roll 2

I would go with the Appended Mag + Hidden Hand roll, myself. I see the hand-laid stock and braced frame as perks to avoid on LMGs, as they reduce desirable stats.

Erevar

Razelighter does more damage to a single target with R2 for not much heavy ammo. Unfortunately if he sticks you with his cannon and you're not 375+ he'll basically one-shot you, which makes using the sword a risky proposition. Most of my groups will utilize a super to kill him (e.g. Tether, Hammers, Nova Bomb, Nighthawk+GG, etc).

That makes sense, yet doesn't. You'd think they'd want the new sword to be more useful.

Yeah. And you would think that 8 out of 12 exotic heavies wouldn't be solar

There was no year 2 thorn.

You have a year 1 thorn.

The other issue with the new sword is it has a habit of shooting who you hit up in the air because of the attack animation for some reason. This can be troublesome because you can knock the captain off the map and then you have lost the shock cannon.

hlprmnky

I'm off the list for tomorrow's PS4 blind run - I don't think it's reasonable that I could get nine levels today and, while this is a good problem to have and I'm not complaining about it, work is so busy for me right now that I cannot guarantee I won't be spinning time into money, rather than memories and loot, during the scheduled hours.

If I don't read spoilers my first eventual run can still be sort of "blind", right? :bigfrown:

@cncaudata @MagicPrime (and wheelman) — Thanks for trying to fill in and knock that out last second. Sadly by worshipful emote was not enough to help us overcome such challenges.

The axe does that too some of the time when ground-slamming. It looks bizarre and doesn't actually seem to damage the enemies who bounce off the ground.

Note: It was never a streak. They have also improved Imprecation twice to make it easier.

Haha yeah, woo. That quest would be just about the toughest quest in the game if it had you get a streak of 7 precision kills with the imprecation.

This seems like a good roll for a shotgun? I don't use them that often.

Maddoc

Shotguns are basically all about perks that increase range, so yes

Is trials back this weekend? I'd be super awful at it now but I'd be down for some loot

Just from my couple tries last night on the final boss. The Mechanics of the fight seem a LOT less complicated than the Oryx battle.

Yeah its mostly just extended execution. Just like anything else either more time practicing technique or higher light levels will probably trivialize it.

Fawst

Ok, 320 Sepiks Perfected is gonna be my method of leveling up. It's fast and I seem to be getting 2+ points per item drop. That and the Heroic playlist is kind of a bitch with solar if you get Sepiks on that one. At 351 now. This is fucking slow. Just banking all my Legendary and Exotic engrams for now.

Plus, no one is ever in the damn forge. =P

The Oryx fight in King's Fall is ridiculously complicated so that wouldn't be hard.

Edit:
So what's the level-up method once you pass 365? Raid and/or 3 of Coins + Hope?

AuburnTiger

I wondered into a Forge last night with just one other person. As soon as he saw me he popped a Perfected Servitor and I thought oh god why'd he waste it.

But yeah, we two-manned it fine.

Oh. I guess I can't keep track of shit.

MagicPrime

Have you all been doing the creep-up in the hallway to allow for match making in the Forge? I've done this the past few days, even crouch walking the whole way, and it's put me in with groups of 3 or 4 usually already in the middle of a Forge Event. I did this last night and we probably chained half-a-dozen or more events until the group fell apart.

Raid, faction rep (Vanguard, Variks, Petra, Eris, DO, NM, FWC), items decrypting to exotics.

It is a pretty good roll. Not sure if it will hit the range cap with aggressive ballistics though.

Yeah, I do this for CoO too.

Sirialis

And Crucible end of match loot can give you 365+ apparently.

Archons Forge can give 365+ loot, but only Class items for some really dumb reason, the rest of the loot seems to cap at 365.

Yup. Though apparently he very much loves to NOT GIVE ME A HEAVY WEAPON.

Stupid stuck at 365 heavy slot.

Disrupter

I promised myself I wouldn't get into pvp this release cause I don't have the time, my usual group and cause the little I've played I'm so bad now it makes me upset...

But then I think about nightstalker with the new double melee double nade artifact I got...and I'm pretty sure I want to smoke void fools
