Probably the PoE 41 would be your best bet for leveling up. The KF raid levels have been increased to recommended 310nm, 330hm so I would hold off doing that until you are 300 which shouldn't take long.

What about vanguard strikes?

They should also be ok. I've found that PoE is giving better drops atm, but at your level anything you get should be a higher light level seeing as blue gear now goes to 310.

Just got a 335 taken shotgun from the archron priest strike which pushes me to 334

My name is URL

Anyone else run into an issue using Invective where you lose ammo after respawning?

Has happened a few times in Skirmish playlist

after what feels like 15 or 20 runs, I finally got the new taken version of the winters run strike. Fook that is a long one, some amount of bullet sponge crap.

Result of the 20....

No strike specific drops. One exotic engram (3oC) and One legendary.

I feel like bungie has done something, and was forshadowed by "That guy, that specific guy right there.... screw him".

FFS, twice now I've gotten a soft DC at a boss fight, and when I get back in I'm on a black screen so all I can do is hear the fight.

that's been around awhile. there's away out of it on the ps anyway. I think you press the dpad left or right. Something like that.

Got a raid done last night and got a boat load of good level gear, including 3 exotics (1 from Golgoroth challenge chest, 1 from dildo room chest and one from the shade).

Heroic strikes may be useless to me but the raid sure did its best to make up for it!

Does three of coins work still on the easy strikes does anyone know? Tried a few of them last week as the level 41 seemed stuck in a loop on the hard Venus one but nothing dropped.

Once it has an ultra a 3oC will work on it

I got the Zen Meteor last night. Took it for a spin. Incredibly hard to find 4 enemies hanging around in a line to snipe. Don't see how practical this dynamite with a laser beam will be.

Was trying to think of boss fights it would be useful in and I can't think of any. For most enemies it would be a waste using a sniper rifle on them in the first place - you'd rarely get 3 or four enemies in a row that are both worth using a sniper rifle on and can be one shotted by a sniper.

It does look and sound pretty when the ornate gold leafing kicks in on the scope and flames engulf the gun. Then you run around in a panic looking for ad #4 to kill with it. Last about 3/4 seconds then the super explosion is lost but the extra bullet stays.

Got Zen Meteor myself but haven't really looked at it. Does the perk only proc on kills, or will it proc if you're hitting crits on a major?

But when that last bullet lands....took me a while to get the hang of it but it is great when you get the 4th hit.

Perk kicks in after 3 quick proc kills. No misses allowed!

Well with the way I've been sniping recently, I may as well just shard it now and save myself the bother :pac:

I'm not the biggest fan of Crucible if I'm by myself but I played my first game of mayhem last night.
I think I'm in love.

Angron

Outside of that perk, how does the Meteor handle compared to something like the Thousand Yard Stare?

Mayhem is only on every now and then, great for racking up super / ability / heavy ammo kills for crucible bounties.
But it's definitely one of the most enjoyable game modes out there.

Mayhem is a godsend for things like killing guardians with swords. They could do with making an IB Mayhem based.

Yeah I finished a Stormcaller bounty I've had since TTK dropped.
Now and again, that's disappointing. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Yes it's great for farming bounties, maybe I'll even level up my rep with Shaxx. :pac:

That would be awful. Mayhem is the furthest thing from a competitive game mode, should never go near Iron Banner.

It is however lots of fun... one of my favorite game modes, quick runs, great for rep. I normally play it when I just want to rank up and dont be bothered with dying. And funny enough doesnt affect my KD.

I wouldnt consider IB competitive though.

Very smooth, very little recoil, same RoF as 1000ys

Basically is like spindle but with faster shooting

Good weapon despite the perks and explosive rounds apparently do 150 more damage now so great!

Since the Companion app update last week, it's not been loading up for me on Android. I can check news, community and the like but no access to my guardians or gear, it showed that it was constantly downloading data but would never complete.

Tonight I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it's all good, just thought I'd post up if someone else is experiencing the same.

Ummm

Havent played for a while so I dont know if this is a new glitch or not but twice has happened already that I use a 3oC and get 2 exotic drops (same type but 2 engrams). Like 2 engrams. Happened yesterday while doing the old winters run strike and today again doing the vex one.

I assume that's happened to others before?

wexdevil

I had that happen a few times myself, managed to get all my armour to 335 without raiding, only two things not at 335 are my heavy and artifact.


Still no sign of any antiquated runes >:(

Yeah, that happens sometimes. Got a drop of a chest and a gauntlet engram once. It just means that the ultra you killed gave you a loot shower, which doubles the number of engrams the enemy drops, including exotics.

I once had 6 engrams, 2 blue, 4 purple drop of Taniks at the end of the HoW strike due to triggering a loot shower.
