    So that'd be me out for tonight. I do like how they appear to have just copy and pasted while changing the relevant numbers.

    Edit: Oops, they also added "continued".

    Yeah, don't know how likely our Raid of Champions is going to happen tonight. I'm game, but Bungie gonna Bungie. :biggrin:

    Looks like I was too optimistic about the updates being done on time. I'm going to call this night and put a new raid up for tomorrow.

    @Khraul Sounded like you were interested in a Grasp? There are many like it, but this is my Grasp of Malok, its not a perfect god roll unfortunately, still a serviceable workhorse though.

    Red Dot-OES, Counterbalance, Handlaid Stock/Fitted Stock and Glass Half Full.

    Short clip of how it handles, in the clip I'm usually correcting the drift and its not hard to notice the times I'm not correcting it.

    Disclaimer, I didnt even really like Grasp of Malok at first, its grown on me though.

    Yeah, this is really the only current strike specific loot I want. It just looks like a mean weapon... sounds good too.

    The New Monarchy vendor sidearm is pretty solid from what I recall? Might be worth picking up for the update.

    So there's a fella on reddit who puts together weapons stat reviews... the spoilered pic below is a shot of his spreadsheet on (now pre-2.4.0) sidearm stats.

    As far as vendor sidearms go, the Conviction II is a really solid pick if you don't already have one. Great aim assist and good range, a little low on stability but with a very manageable recoil direction. I have a couple and I really enjoy them.

    I'm sure the stats will need to be updated post 2.4.0, but for now it gives you an idea of where they all stand in relation to each other.

    Third post in a row because I've been tied up all day...

    Rift
    Added an overshield on player spawn to cut down on spawn-camping
    Extended runner damage resistance when picking up spark by a few seconds


    I really like Rift and these changes makes me super SUPER happy. Being able to spawn camp that mode just breaks it completely.

    This is a pretty cool list, def should check how my Havoc Pigeon does post-update. I find it hilarious that the only exotic sidearm is a piece of shit.

    I see they buffed the Lyudmila with a faster fire rate.

    @Booker It's gonna be great.

    Also they made ToM remove your Blessing of Light? Hope that doesn't break it in the raid where that is the prevailing strategy.

    Lastly, @Forever Zefiro I heard that there's a raid going on tomorrow for @Peen and I'd like to join, maybe we can get the Flawless Raider achievement? Or a Crota run. I don't want to do it alone.

    Increasing RoF typically means lowering Impact. Are they changing the archetype of the Lyudmila? Guess we'll find out Soon™

    Vestian Dynasty is still my go to Sidearm in light disabled playlists. It's a monster.

    Plus I think it's funny to murder rando's with a Y1 sidearm.

    Queen's Choice is basically Y2 Vestian from what others have told me. I don't know because I scrapped the one I got immediately when I saw the crap perks.

    Less AA and stability but otherwise Queens is identical. Also it looks great with yelbow Chroma :D

    I think they nerfed them, I think they just adjusted the stat/light distribution so that not everyone hits like t13 without even trying.

    I imagine that at 400 t12 will be possible once again.

    I understand why they did it, but what a totally inelegant solution. Hopefully all T12 gear that's infusible will carry over.

    I expect that it will carry over.

    But I don't think there are any other options that make sense - the only alternative I can think of is setting a hard ceiling on year 2 stuff and having different curves for year 3 stuff but that seems inefficient and confusing. Or changing the numbers you need for the tiers, but that has the same effect as the one they chose and seems a little more confuse.

    People are getting the new sidewarm exotic, The Tresspasser. It is a burst fire sidearm, that fires a doubleburst (called a "superburst") very fast when reloading after a kill. Say its super fun to use in tge Crucible, and looks super sweet. HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE
