    Speaking of team killing, "Jean Claude Van Calm" (I think?) accidentally pushed me off some pipes to my death, and then later when I tried to obtain revenge I ended up slipping and falling to my death again instead.

    I'll get him yet!

    I’d need to see proof. I turned around and you where stuck in an endless loop of falling and looping back to the pipe. It was a mercy pushing.
    I was gonna make it back up at any moment.


    (I don't actually remember the circumstances, just the delight over having been given a reason to take revenge.)

    Precision kills as a challenge in pvp is awful. I'm not botching multiple matches so I can line up 10 kills. Shooting ground near a corner to plink someone with midnight explosions is superior every time. I can't imagine people who take pvp seriously enjoy getting people in their matches that are just trying to farm precision kills either.

    That one is sort of a gimme for most playstyles - it ought happen naturally as there are no other requirements. If the PC metagame is dominated by splash damage around corners then that is super odd.

    I spent today as the top player on team for 4-5 matches straight, an inordinate amount of time spent on a daily challenge, and got 2. It would happen naturally, but I aint spending 6 hours for a daily challenge. Just make it player kills, I'll take 50 guardian kills over 10 precision finishers.

    Most of the time I get that challenge done before I even know it is a challenge (admittedly because I don't look at the challenges very often, and b I am on console).

    But people who take PVP seriously are already going for headshots

    I find this a very confusing conversation if for no other reason than it indicates such a massively different metagame that it is almost unrecognisable from Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 on console.

    Hey, XBone clan, thanks for all of the free engrams this week. I haven't been on much lately because I've been busy with other stuff, but I logged in this evening to grab Cayde's maps and do some Vault cleaning. I saw that you guys had completed all 4 activities so I went to collect from Hawthorne, and found a Better Devils from the Crucible engram! Finally, one of the last few guns I'm missing. Thanks again :o

    I think I'm more entertained by the accidental murders that @jefe414 always seems to get away with.

    People just need to stop jumping into my feet.

    Man, why did nobody tell me that there was a purple equivalent to The Chaperone in this game?

    This thing is fun as hell in PvE, and I am solidly tempted to try it out in PvP sometime soon.

    There are two!

    Good Bone Structure and First In, Last Out

    There are also Uncommon (Hand In Hand) and Rare shotguns of the same archetype that shoot pellets instead of slugs - so they have the huge range and damage of the slug shotguns with the ease of use of regular shotguns and they rip it up in the crucible

    Grinding out the Crucible today, I'm basically desperately trying not to drag the team down and then I get some power ammo and then I shotgun like 4 people in the face in a row. And then the cycle repeats itself.

    The real problem is that they nerfed all the other grenades to the ground and then just kind of stopped at Pulse for some reason

    They just need to buff all the other grenades, especially since the recharge is so long on them

    I switched from Striker to Sunbreaker on my Titan for some Challenges and it's just, like, mindboggling how bad the grenades are in comparison.

    Pulse Grenades are fucking monsters in any part of the game. I swear a single one does more boss damage then my super. And certainly clears a ton of enemies swarming me or secures kills in PvP a fuckton better.

    Shit needs a serious rebalance.

    I don't run Striker outside of the Raid because I am so booooored of Striker as a result.

    In Crucible, I get a sick satisfaction out of suppression grenades because I know I just ruined the only super they are going to get all game.

    I generally just make sure to use that days weapon element and usually just get the other two challenges incidentally.

    Kill someone during their super is the hardest but tends to happen accidentally within a handful of games

    you know it’s funny because the clan has low population at any given time but the game sure doesn’t seem to

    there are people all over somehow enjoying themselves

    Is this exclusive to the Titan one, or is the Warlock one also super good?

    It's true of the Warlock one also, but Titans have a perk set that gets double grenades and the Pulse grenade lasts longer (so it deals more total damage).

    Been keeping a Thesan gunsmith order around for a few months since I realized that a magazine size of six is small enough that smallbore won't actually decrease magazine size. I'm pretty sure all the other stability perks it can get would take it over max stability, so I don't think they'd actually provide much more stability than smallbore in practice, maybe none if smallbore also hits the cap. Then with smallbore also boosting range and not having its usual mag size decrease, I think it'd actually have more benefit and less drawback than braced frame on the Thesan.
    However, I only now thought to check whether the Thesan can roll smallbore, and it turns out it can't. So, that's an inventory slot I've been wasting for a while now.

    I have hawthornes shotgun that is automatic and holds like 7 rounds. It basically obliterates everything in one magazine. Bathers tonight, I could throw a pulse grenade and shoot them twice with the thing and pick up 3 more rounds. It was glorious!

    If only all the important mobs in this game didnt crater the ground for double to triple the shotguns range when you try to use it... I've been knocked off a lot of maps.
