God Roll culture is a pain in the arse. You just ought to play with things you enjoy and not worry about minmaxing. You'll organically feel out what works best for you, what you enjoy best in the first place.

I'm suddenly really sad we didn't get a scarlet keep crucible map. That place looks cool as hell and is really iconic, or a map on the you know what....
Missed opportunities Bungie...

I'm having a hard time choosing which legendaries to keep since rolls are random. I'm not really knowledgeable so I don't know which traits are considered best in slot for example. I have a Scout Rifle with Dragonfly I think it's called, which does aoe to other enemies if you get precision kills. To me it feels good, but if I'm going to put all weapons like this in the vault it'll look like a mess eventually.
Is there a simple guide to best in slot perks for different weapons and armor? Playing a hunter.

Usually a reload speed upgrade like Outlaw and a DPS increase like rampage or kill clip is best for most primaries. For special/heavies it really depends on the gun class.
How important are stats like Impact etc? Let's say there are hundreds of legendary scout rifles, what makes the best 5 better than the other 50+ for example? Purely the perks?
In the past I saw people praising the ''Better Devils'' hand cannons for example, what set it apart? Stats seemed similar to other hand cannons.
Shoot shit, get loot which raises your Power (overall indicator of strength), to compete in tougher versions of activities. Ever played Diablo? Imagine that, with guns. And a bunch of different game modes available.
There's a huge world of lore to engage in as well, besides just the gameplay loop. Shooting is incredibly satisfying in Destiny 2.
It took like 7-8 hours of casual play to get to 900, which is above light for the start of the raid and gets you into doing most things.
Impact just means it does more damage per bullet, at the cost of less rate of fire. It's not usually something you pay attention to, instead rate of fire is what you want to go by. For example on PC 140/150 RPM hand cannons are the best because they feel snappy and great to shoot on PC while on console 180 RPM hand cannons are the best because of how it feels to shoot on console, while on PC 180s feel really weird to use.
With the Shadowkeep patch though a lot of weapons types were rebalanced so nothing is set in stone right now as the meta is still being formed.
In general, range is a very important stat for many guns, it will make guns feel stickier because you have further range dropoff and aim assist. Once you get past a guns intended range you'll notice you miss a lot more shots because there is zero aim magnetism to compensate for your aim on top of doing less damage so you usually want high range if possible for many guns, minus scout rifles since their range is already really high.
Stability obviously makes recoil easier to manage, some guns really need it, some don't so it's a toss up on if it's really needed.
Handling is how quickly you bring guns up to ADS, you want to have it pretty high if you want a gun to feel responsive, most people tend to go this route.
Reload speed depends on your class, as a hunter I don't worry about high reloads since my dodge helps me reload quickly.
Honestly though, theres hidden stats on many guns so it's really whatever gun feels the best to use for you.
New armour system and tweaks to regen. Once you get yourself a 2.0 set, you can start aiming to build up your grenade regen speed.
Best gunplay on consoles. Shoot stuff, get better loot and take on endgame content with friends.
There is exotic armor that offers additional grenades and weapons that have the demolitionist perk which help to speed this up.
Well I got fabled in one night lmao. Never got close for the last year. You wasted your cash shark
One thing that I ask myself all the time and didn't find an anwser, is the Hunter's smoke bomb considered a melee or grenade?
I'm doing a bottom path void hunter with the grenade mods on the artifact, seems that can be pretty cool as a support class, so I want to stack discipline as much as possible, but I don't know if discipline reduces my smoke grenade cooldown or it has to be strenght.

It's the melee ability.
Strength = melee
Discipline = grenade
Intellect = super
All these different seasonal icons on gear is confusing as hell. Why not just name it S1, S2 and so forth? No need to make it this obscure.
If it's classed as a melee ability, activating the melee perk in the boxes at the bottom, and used by pressing the "melee" button then I'm 99% sure it will run off the strength stat.

Had awesome fireteams in Strikes last night but hoooooo boy were Crucible and Forges the opposite. I've seen kdr lower than I've ever seen before (sub .10) and Bergusia has been impossible to complete since playing before the Shadowkeep patch.
If they were new players then I really feel bad for them for Bungie just throwing them into the fire lol

I own base Destiny 2 but nothing else. When I look on the Playstation store I cant find the Forsaken expansion available to purchase anywhere and when I use the in game store I click 'Get it now' and it takes me to my downloads where I can download Destiny 2 and a Destiny theme.
Has it been removed form the store? As far as I can tell there is no bundle available that gets you all content released up until now, the only items available for purchase are Shadowkeep and the Shadowkeep Deluxe Edition.
The UK store if that makes any difference.

I'm going to sound really stupid but did you do a manual search in the PS Store to try and find it?
If it has random rolls you can't pull it from collections, if there are exotics you're not crazy about then shard those because you pull those from collections.
Did 3 strikes and already 780+ think I'll do them till I get closer to 900 before I start the campaign. I hate being at the whim of rng. I miss my good weapons...
should I delete weapon mods or do I need one of each for them to still show up?

Not on the Store anymore, you need to go in-game and check the in-game store to buy it. Its the far left tab in the director.
Ok thanks I see when youre in the vault it tells you if a weapon has random rolls/can't be pulled.
As I said doing this takes me to a download page. One of those lists you see when you look at all the DLC you own for a game.
Hmmm that is really weird, especially when you said it doesn't even work when you go through the in-game store. Wish I can help you out further :/ Sorry about that.
"God roll" is just a term that means that the item dropped with the best possible combination of perks. What those perks are, depends on the item itself. In the case of weapons, it means the perks make that particular roll perform better than alternate rolls on the same weapon. For a Rocket Launcher, it may mean having the perk that results in cluster explosions. For a Sniper Rifle, it may mean having a perk that has higher aim assist. But in all weapon cases, it's having every perk on the weapon be the best it can be.
For armor, it gets more complex because now you're talking about Armor that's rolled with the best possible numerical stats in the categories specific to the build you want to create (which depends on class, sub-class, and playstyle).
Oh is Halfdan actually good now? I love a slow, powerful AR. It was my favorite weapon during the original campaign.
Just looked, and yeah the Forsaken listing is weirdly de-listed on UK/IE storefronts at least.
Here's the US listing for reference: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-CUSA05042_00-DESTINY2FORSAKEN
You're not alone in the issue either: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/g...network.topic.html/i_can_t_buy_forsaken-xOhq/
As someone totally new, I'm really enjoying it (to the tune of 22 hours in the last few days).
The new player experience could be smoother but it isn't so bad. It just throws a lot at you without really making things clear, but I didn't find it too bad.
One question I have is, is it worth buying Forsaken? For content alone? Are the items you get there still good or have they been made redundant?

I agree. I find the game obtuse as hell in the worst possible way. It's fun and all, but they could really streamline things.
Wait ok I have 2 dreaded ventures with random rolls, but in the vault it does not show the "Random Perks: This item cannot be reaquired from collections" message when I hover over the weapon. Why not? How would I know it's random rolls if I only had one of them?
So how do I know if a weapon is one with random rolls I need to save, or not??
This system is terrible. It should simply warn you/have that message on all weapons that can't be reaquired from collections.

Forsaken's annual pass content has some of the more highly regarded weapons at the moment (but that may change as time goes forward with Shadowkeep). Whether or not it's worth it, is hard to say. You can have a great time and achieve everything you want to achieve without ever having those weapons. But if you're a completion or the type of person who wants to absolutely have the best of the best (for competitive or other reasons), then you may find it worthwhile.
If you're on the fence, I'd honestly say just wait and continue playing through the previous content to see if the gameplay loop stays satisfying. No real reason to rush off to buy Forsaken now if you're not absolutely sure you're going to play through all the content and long (seriously) quest lines for those weapons.
Strange, I'll just wait to see if it gets fixed, if all else fails I suppose I can buy the Forsaken disc. Thanks for the help.
