Yeah, it's a Heavy Fusion so as such uses 2 clips/mags of 3 shots each.

Will having armour that allows you to carry more fusion rifle ammo boost the amount you can carry? I assume it will.

Can Porphy confirm how many rounds you get with and without the ammo boosting armour perk?

Nice. I can faff about waiting for Warstats during the Ireland game tonight.

Mick used not to have a mike when we were running VOG back when it was new. We used to communicate by pointing at things/direction we needed him to go/do but he could still hear us but couldn't answer.

The only thing about Raids is you need to be able to talk things through to explain them. So if you cant do that you need to watch alot of youtube guides/read alot of strategies so you have a good idea of what's going on at every stage as sending a message in the middle of a Raid just isn't practical.

Saying that I'd be more than willing to help you run VOG or Crota at some stage if you haven't already done those.

Kings Fall might be more difficult as its new and not everyone is as familiar with it yet but it does require constant communication at every stage so that one might a little harder to bring you through at the moment.

I get 7 rounds /shots without any heavy/fusion ammo perks...

I need to test it with fusion rifle or rocket launcher perks and see if it makes a difference or not.

Bear in mind that while I was doing the daily, I took down crotas souls with 3-4 shots if I am not mistaken (mine is a 298) and I was standing at the entrance so pretty far away.

I use to need the same amount of gallahorns (I think it was 3ish?)

Nah thats perfect, I usually have a look at what the initial raid is, go off and have a look and catch up on the stages,

The only problem i had was that the volume is too low at times and its made the gameplay a bit frustrating for me and others,

I've never even finish VOG as a result of the above reason!

I'll prob go and invest in some ear pieces and see how they compare with others on the market,


Many thanks for the info, hopefully i'll be able to contribute some how in the future plays

Happy to lend a hand whenever I'm on also. GT is SteveDPirate.

VOG and CE shouldn't be too difficult. I ran King's Fall for the first time earlier this week and it was very involved for all Fireteam members compared to the first 2 raids.

Thanks man. Had a quick dig for info while in work. Current armour apparently does not boost reserve ammo for the Sleeper, but......

How do the original raids stack up against CE and VOG , puzzle wise compared to Kings Fall ? I'd like at some point to do them, just to tick them off the list

Kings Fall
VOG
Crota

That's my ranking of the three raids so far.

It's funny, King's Fall probably requires more team work than the other two (VoG is close but you can get away with a few passengers) and is more enjoyable over all imo but it also feels a good bit easier than the other two raids were when they first came out. The best thing about King's Fall is everyone has to pull their weight to certain extent, whereas the older raids you could get away with a few folks being carried or even doing a lot of it on your own in the case of Crota.

I think CE is really underrated. It definitely doesn't help that most people cheesed the bridge which was the best encounter in that raid and still one of the best encounters on Destiny.

King's Fall is good but something about it just lacks the intensity of the other raids. You seem to wipe due to idiotic mistakes rather than any actual difficulty, which doesn't exactly give as much excitement when you're essentially hoping somebody doesn't mess up.

Let's see what comes with hard mode.
I think KF definitely becomes easier when you're all over 300 light. We ripped Oryx a new one in crazy fast time the other night, whereas on our first few attempts to clear the raid we couldn't even stagger him.

Nothing has changed apart from our light levels (as in we adopted the same strategy for firing on Oryx - but now we're using 300+ light gear).

Its worth remembering too that most people are very skilled at encounters and equipping for such now too. I was blown away when I started playing again and lads were swapping out armour and weapons for different stages etc, I was struggling away with the odd legendary and exotic helm I'd picked up before the release of the dark below.

lol, yeah, It was like a different language. "ah, i'll just thrown on bad juju, hand for the thralls, no need to reload with the string of curses". cue silence from me

Plus, I had to go to google to figure out what people were on about when they were saying things like "adds, dps, proc" I hadn't a notion, (and still don't for the most part)

Funny one but when I logged in last night I got a screen like the image attached, basically looking for me to buy TTK. Today I get a pop up at the bottom telling me I have leveled as high as possible in the trial version. Anything like that happen to anyone else? Xbox one.

VOG is still my favourite but I haven't had an Oryx kill yet. I still enjoy Crota but it has became to easy since lvl 34, even if you die the team will generally carry on.

I'd have to pick staying down for the oracles, always a great laugh even on normal.

Was lucky enough to have a go at Oryz last night with the Jolly Boys but no success as it pushed late. You really need your light level up at the 300 mark, I was 296 and I had to use a heavy machine gun to take down the ogres and just couldn't keep ammo in that or my sniper and I don't think I was helping with Oryx damage either. Thanks for the run though, it was nice to get a look in anyways.

Haha. There's a lot of rpg terms that have crept into this game. You pick them up the more you play.

There are some very interesting builds with different gear. That Bad Juju + Obsidian Mind Voidwalker combo was a lot of fun!! I think Supercell + Nightstalker is the the Year 2 version of this. I've found that orb generation is much more frequent with the new subclasses/gear, and with the right combination you can spam the crap out of them.

Just gonna log in on ps now if anyone has the warsat stuff to do.

You're not guaranteed a Warsat though, particularly on Mars. moon and Earth are fairly reliable for Warsas at Skywatch and Archer's Line. I ended up having 6 Eliminate Target events in a row on Mars, then I went off to do a raid.

I did it today and everything was perfect as per website....it never says you are deffo gonna get a warsat, it tells you that there is a possibility of 2 or 3 depending on area. I got them all in about 30 mins using it....

Madness we did not get him last night, even with 2 new guys we should have got him. But it was late and peeps were tired.....Deffo need a 310 1000 yard stare for Oggi's.

Will finish him tonight mate for sure!
