There's only 1 weapon available

TLW is good, not great, but good, it's not as good a HC as say Thorn or Hawkmoon but if you adapt to hip firing it's quiet good and it can also be a fantastic weapon in PvP if you can use it correctly, i quiet often get wrecked by it. But if you don't play PvP, and you have Hawkmoon or Thorn those would apparently be the best to use, unless you are flush with coins and won't miss them

Well, he's only selling The Last Word, which I've found great in PvP.

Upgrade wise: Hard Light (currently leveling and I like), SUROS Regime (Not sure how it is since nerf, have but haven't used yet), Red Death (Kinda essential for Crota HM), Thorn (PvP), Plan C (Dont use, PvP), Patience and Time (Great for Arc Burn), Hawkmoon (I want)

Ah yes i see. I had a quick look on my phone and was looking at the upgrades and the not the weapons.

Oh if we're talking about upgrades.... in order of my recommendations:

Thorn
Hawkmoon
Red Death
Patience and Time
Suros (Iron Banner next week apparently, according to unreliable hacking sources)

Plan C and Hard Light are probably not worth it with HoW coming soon, there are very few decent use cases where you will ever find yourself needing these. Even on an Arc Burn NF you can use Murmur instead of Plan C and not waste your exotic slot, and if you want to use an Arc secondary P&T is better and 4th Horseman is also a viable contenter now

Anyone else having problems finding swords of crota to whack? (For bounties). Haven't been able to get one for for a good few days.

Problem with them turning up on the Moon post patch, just do the Fist of Crota mission.

I normally get the double fusion rifle kills,melee kills,The 3 blades and the killing enemies with the sword bounties all on the first crota mission in 3 goes.Takes less than ten minutes.

So, looking through my vault and realised I had 4 IceBreakers and 4 Red Deaths. Also have several duplicates of exotic armour and many many weapon duplicates/trebles.
Next week on Hoarders:Buried Alive..........

Its annoying that they have stopped them spawning on patrol but kept the bounty. I don't like having to load up a mission three times for one bounty. It just doesn't feel right, imo.

So finally got a character to 32 last night after grinding Eris to level 4 and converting some of my load of Radiant energies.

Yup. 32 here I am. Yup.

What do I do now?

Oh yeah - grind the hunter up.

Mitch Connor

Wonder if Iron Banner is on tomorrow. Its due, but there has been no mention of it.

Should see my post master, there's nothing left for me to get so I've just been leaving everything in there, does anyone know what it maxes out at?

But you can get about four bounties completed on the three runs that you do the mission. That's if those bounties come up.Handy as well if there's a fallen major bounty. you can get three of them by doing it and if the bounty for the lad on the Archive is there then that's about 6 bounties in 15-20 minutes which is good going imo.

I couldn't be arsed roaming around on patrol just to find blades, never have. Never will.

gimli2112

The Fist of Crota is handy and if nothing else at least replaced the "We've woken the Hive!" mission we all had to do previously for bounties.

Finally picked this up recently. Plodding through with my level 10 warlock between bloodborne bouts Haven't managed to stumble across any of those open events yet. Can you find them if you're on a mission on patrol?

Getting annihilated in the crucible too.

Thats to be expected before you hit level 16+ and have some of the more helpful subclass perks

Time to use the Vex to churn out the fusion rifle kill part of pocket infinity bounty so...

Managed to solo Sexy Prime and Valus turtlehead on the last two NFs ... time to figure out how to solo the Archon priest now. This is the only kick I get out of these now ... trying to figure out the cheese/solo way of doing these

The little canyon you enter the boss area through is the best spot.
