It's a very fun gun, but Hammerhead and Thunderlord are both better. Just wait for triple Infamy for the reset and see how you feel when it's up I'd say.

Snapshot, quickdraw, moving target. I put a targeting adjuster on mine but then I'm on console.
I find beloved easier to use than revoker
Vendor refreshes and world drops are a huge part of keeping Destiny fresh and making the world feel alive. I like when there are reasons to play Strikes and Crucible. The game feels stagnant and dead when I see the same gear for over a year.
The Titan raid gauntlets were also pictured and look like the Eververse set. dmg already confirmed it's the raid armor. It's a reskin, like many of the other things in this expansion.
This entire expansion is being built around re-used content. The expansion is also smaller in nature than Forsaken was, including far less content. The reason for this is likely because so much of Bungie is at work on D3 and D2 is on cruise control.
fun levels, two-mans are definitely difficulty going in blind since both are timed. Enjoy.
Since snapshot is pretty much a must this is the one I would use. I also like Moving Target as a perk since it gives +2 mobility and increases strafe speed while ADS. My current favorite snipe is a Fate Cries Foul with Snapshot / Moving Target and it's the one I got most of my kills with.
I think so. It's far and away the best machinegun for boss dps (even though heavy grenade launchers are better sometimes you want to run an LMG just for add clear).
I have a FCF with Zoom 10 point / Ex mag / Snapshot / Moving Target / Stability MW... I might give this a go then... thanks!
my goto sniper is Bite of the Fox. with snapshot & opening shot. Targeting adjuster mod
my Solstice helmet rolled with Enhanced sniper targeting. So i barely have to aim this thing. Im just getting double headshots now when i have no business doing so.

Enhanced Sniper Targeting is a fantastic perk. It definitely feels like cheating at times. I have a Dreaming City helmet with that perk that I use most of the time when I am sniping in the Crucible.
350 IB tokens turned in by my baby Warlock (who is only level 20 and has not done any of the IB questline so that he would get only weapons from Saladin) and not a single Swarm of the Raven. I already have one that is a great PVP roll but I was looking for a spike grenades version and did not get it.
I did get 5 Claws of the Wolf and almost as many Orewing's Maul and Hero's Burdens but not a single Swarm, Breath of the Dragon or Bite of the Fox.

nah just anything on battle.net
you can still get shadowkeep (on steam)
While they are better for general use, 21% is great at pumping out DPS since you don't have to reload. I use it to one phase the bosses whenever a friend and myself two-man Shattered Throne.
Read something interesting over on Reddit on the Crucible Playbook about the upcoming buff to 340 pulse rifles in the Crucible:
If you miss a shot and have to shoot a third burst, the 1st shot of the third burst results in a 1.07 sec ttk as the pace of the bursts is the same as a 110 rpm hand cannon.
The body shot ttk of these right now is about 1.6 sec, yeah, that's only because they do 20 per body meaning you do need to shoot 4 bursts to kill on body shots, but, the new damage for body shots is 22, meaning 8 resilience or less the body ttk is only three bursts , 1.2 sec which is faster than 390's and 450's. (1.4 and 1.33 sec) this alone will make them carve a niche in the meta imo.
So maybe more than the precision damage buff the body shot damage buff will help the 340's be competitive.

I don't think that's possible in Destiny 2, but I agree. A few months ago when people were up in arms about Lord of Wolves I didn't know what the problem was. I barely saw that gun on PS4. Getting those long range kills with Release the Wolves was almost impossible because the of the recoil on console, but the gun got nerfed because it was to OP on pc.
Highlights from my questioning of the devs and narrative teams at PAX during the book signing:
Q: "When are beards coming to Destiny?"
A: "Think of all the beards we'd have to render! You'd have less things to shoot!"
A: "Destiny 4."
Q: "Why don't you have time to explain why you don't have time to explain?"
A: "I don't have time to explain it here."
Q: "Will we ever see Saint-14 again?"
A: "Uh, his helmet, yeah?"
Q: "Will we wake the Hive on the Moon again?"
A: " No spoilers."
The others were just stupid, shooting the shit questions.

Yeah but in this case the nerf didn't really effect consoles cause no one could hit that far in the first place lol
Sometimes using the extra ammo felt like a waste. I was expecting the change to be that a kill made the perk available to activate by holding reload.
They claimed it would be prior to release.
Don't be sad. I turned in 800 tokens before I got a single SotR with spike, and another 150 or so after before I got one with a God roll.
The best part of it imo is the effect it can proc rather than the movement itself
So my Hunter rolls with Marksman Dodge because you can instant reload any weapon you have equipped (great for Heavy and Shotguns) and get back into the fray.
Being able to instantly reload a power weapon is great, but it's not nearly as beneficial as a barricade or rift.
Dodge is my get-out-of-jail card with top tree Tether when things get hairy. I miss it a lot when playing other classes. Its also great with Arc melee-dodge-melee loop.
Off topic but anyone remember when on gaf, someone set up a Last of Us multiplayer tournament and TripleWreck and his clan joined and kicked everybody's ass?
On-topic - I decided to go for Breakneck finally. Got a curated Ringing Nail so the auto rifle kills were kind of fun. Unfortunately I still have 20 matches of gambit to run and it's not as fun anymore. I'll do this part slowly and get it when I get it.

I use it more far more than barricades in PvE. It recharges fast enough that it's reliable enough to use on slow reload weapons and the melee recharge dodge is great for top tree arcstrider.
I wish I would have kept track of how many I turned in. I saved all my tokens until this IB and it took 131 packages (or so it says on my emblem) to get a SotR with Spike grenades on it. Now if only it had Field Prep.
Wouldn't lose sleep over it, it gives you a single extra grenade.
PSA, Eyes Up Guardians: 'The Machinist' is available as a Heroic Story mission today. It doesn't come up very often and has a lore piece hidden within it that is required to complete the 'Chronicler' seal. Anyone interested in completing that seal should do that Heroic Story before reset, even if it that seal not a priority right now.
You don't want the guy that has to wait weeks for it to come up again to finish your Seal because you've done everything else and didn't do it today when you could have (like I did because I'm a dummy who thought I'd never be bothered with it).

Ok thanks. I guess you're right...at the moment I have plenty to do in Destiny. I just finished the Forsaken campaign and am going for Ace Of Spades. If I run out of things to do I guess I'll buy it. I just know I have zero interest in Gambit Prime so if I do buy it, it'd basically just be for whatever weapons I can't otherwise get and that's pretty much it.
So does anyone know how Glory boosting works? A couple of friends set it up to do the last 1k Glory for Not Forgotten. They said the host set up 2 PS4s with 2 accounts around the same Glory and would back out 1 team before the match, but they didn't explain how they avoid running into other teams, the host wasn't using a VPN apparently either.
I had the pleasure of hearing them lose their mind due to needing a 100 ish more Luna kills, but at Legend. I think 1 of them even broke his controller by the end.
Edit: I guess the host was just doing this? Didn't know there was a way to figure out if you are host before the match. Hard to find with all the paid boosting services too.

Clowns like you are why companies keep bending people over, always willing to accept less and blame yourself for expecting more. Things are never the companies fault, we can never expect corporations to treat people better so just accept less for more money it's the only way. Fuck your false dilemma that we have to choose between having good games and having ethical companies.
There is literally nothing you or I do that can fundamentally change crunch, because the cause of crunch is the manager who drops your contract because you went home after only working 50 hours that week. You and I do not make games release unfinished and early just to squeeze them into the right business quarter. And I don't use the employees as a shield to protect the companies bad practices from legitimate criticism, you and the business do.
The facts of the matter is we have good cause to know D3 is in development and this joke of a season/'focus on D2' nonsense is just a way to squeeze a big more blood out of their customers while the bulk of bungies resources are elsewhere. We're not getting less because of crunch, we're getting less because bungie doesn't want to spend more.
You can ignore Gambit Prime entirely and just farm Gambit items in Reckoning. That's what everyone does. The only people playing Gambit Prime are people who really like the mode or are forced to play it for some weapon quest.
And yea, Austringer (hand cannon), Beloved (Sniper Rifle), The Last Word (hand cannon), Emperor's Courtsey (shotgun), Truth (rocket launcher), and just about all of the Black Armory weapons make it worth the price of admission. Not to mention the fact that Menagerie allows you to farm god rolls for roughly a dozen of the best weapons in the game and it's getting a droprate buff along with Reckoning.
Unless you're about to hop on the Gears or Borderlands train for September, now would be the best time to start farming and get ahead in terms of having really good items for Shadowkeep.
Yea when i finally decided to collect some of these lore books my friend and i decided to go to the area where the ghost was and realized we cant go in but instead will have to wait until the Mission is active again.
Once it came back we got it then.
So +1 on doing this now before it leaves.

Destiny is clearly in a point of transition. Last year there were two whole extra studios working on the game because of Activision. Now it's just Bungie.
Firstly, Shadowkeep is cheaper than Forsaken so it's actually not less for more money. Secondly, the next update for Destiny was literally delayed so they could finish it, so the point in this post about releasing unfinished to hit a quarter or whatever isn't true either.
Trolling the community thread is not cool.
It's always a good time to start a new character. Waiting till Shadowkeep means you get to skip the story, but that's not that big a deal anyway.
Also: If you've never started another char but have Forsaken, does that mean you have a boost? If so you should use it. They will be kinda useless after SK drops.
How many PC players rocking controller?
Going to double dip soon, but I'm 100% a controller lover, even play my CRPGs like Original Sin 2 on couch controller buzz.

menagerie, black armory, and season of the drifter have some great weapons hidden behind grind and awful rng (opulence is the best, drifter is the worst, though that's getting changed tomorrow I think). It's really up to you if you have the time and $15 bucks. Black armory weapon rng isn't as bad as drifter because you can kinda continuously farm for specific weapons as long as you have the mats to do so, and the weapon schematic unlocked, however the activities to make the weapons require a lot of grinding to unlock (though there is a way around that bungie has provided to everyone at the onset), and oh, those activities aren't unlocked universally on all accounts. It's a lot of loot and a lot of content. I probably would've suggest you drop the cash at the beginning of the season, and still do if you have nothing you really want to do or don't have a backlog. Ace is a good goal especially if you're on PC but soon you probably will run out of carrots to chase for the remainder of the month without the AP.
