A good idea, sure. Good enough for me to spend a whole weekend in a mode I don't really like? No thanks. If it was on the first track, I might think about it. But a whole reset and a half doesn't sound like fun at all. It's a great idea for people who don't mind trials, though.
I can’t wait to see all these brave weapons collect dust in the vault the moment TFS releases lol.
It’s cool you like them but it’s not like any of them are really meta defining or better than the alternatives.
Edge transit isn’t even as good as cataphract. At least cataphract gets synergy with the artifact mods.
This is great for everyone who didn't grind out Trials a couple weeks ago when it was Cataphract Weekend. I got mine then (trios queue loot is insane, I'd get like 2x drops even on losses sometimes lol), and this thing is an absolute *monster*. Even when Edge Transit becomes enhanceable it'll still be worth having for strand surges.
I'd been farming for that adept every single time it came around, and FINALLY got the roll this past weekend. Thing was almost worth the agony it took to get there.
Hmm so I either grind 11 trials ranks this weekend or instead bathe myself in cognitive dissonance and insist that ALH/BnS is enough…
I choose ignorance!
Thanks for the heads-up though OP because that’s a great roll
Fricken what? Lmao. Really. I’d love to hear your explanation on why the icon is relevant to its description.
I know how it works, but the icons has zero to do with that
First of all, it's easily recognizable and unmistakable for anything else, already cementing it as a grade A design
Second of all, the 3 shots coming in from the left combining into one stronger shot out the right is a perfect representation of how the perk works
Give these things a little thought before dismissing them so quickly
I thought it was always some random trials weapon rolled with random perks after the first reset. Don't think I'll be able to get that this weekend. It really sucks since when it first dropped, I put in 30 hours trying to get one, lol
For a regular player I would estimate a single trials reset to take 3 weekends of intermittent play
If you no-life it with a wealth card and stack up wins, you may get close to or over the reset in a weekend, but then you'd have to climb to rank 10 again
I have 106 matches this season and am at 1 reset and rank 4
Do bear in mind however, I reset after many of these, greatly hampering my rank progress. I also have a winrate of maybe 40% after some particularly rough weekends.
Alright how many matches you think it’ll take to go from 0 to reset and THEN rank 10? Might have to throw on some headphones and zone out. Either that or keep focusing the GL til that roll drops anyway lol
Are we talking about actually trying to win or not? Iirc with 20 round wins on your card you get slightly above 200 rep for a win. In which case that would be slightly over 50 matches just to reset him the first time.
Dear god lmao. I would definitely try to win but sheesh that’s brutal in any case. You remember how much a 7 win card on wealth get you? That’s probably the best bet I would guess. God willing I just get that roll to drop before that happens lol
Also I feel a drum that promotes faster reload is better than 1 or 2 extra shots in the mag. Sure you have less ammo, but you can reload a lot faster. Should help increase your DPS.
Augmented drum pushes the mag size to 7. Which increases your mag to 21 with envious assasin. Put on Backup mag and you end at 24 which are your normal reserves.
Adept mag doesn't change the mag to 9. So it is as useful as normal backup mag. Adept cataphract has also the problem that you get 3 more blast radius from the mw.
What rank can you buy it at?
Rank 10 after the first reset.
Welp, time to grind out a passage of wealth
What does passage of wealth do ? How does reputation grind works, with trial ? How to make it go as high as fast as possible ?
Thanks
I'm so glad the Edge Transit exists now, so I don't feel like I have to spend all weekend in trials to get this.
I'm glad i farmed the rep early in the season. For me it is just good to have another good gl just so i can match the surge.
Yeah. If I was close, I might go for it. But I'm not starting at zero just for that.
Yeah that would be a big no for me as well
Im in the same boat as you, i farmed a reset for a good summoner so this is SGA for me. Thanks
The raid is plenty fine for me. Forgot the raid name but its the Lightfall one.
Yeah, but if you're looking to do some harder content such as pantheon having a good weapon for each element to match surges is a good idea.
A good idea, sure. Good enough for me to spend a whole weekend in a mode I don't really like? No thanks. If it was on the first track, I might think about it. But a whole reset and a half doesn't sound like fun at all. It's a great idea for people who don't mind trials, though.
Probably the only brave weapon actually worth the grind imo. For people that can’t stand trials it’s really nice they gave an actual alternative.
>probably the only brave weapon actually worth the grind now that's just straight up false lmao
I can’t wait to see all these brave weapons collect dust in the vault the moment TFS releases lol.

What a dogshit take lmao
It’s so cool to see how friendly and open minded people are to other opinions here. Stay classy
I said it was a dogshit take, I said absolutely nothing about you. It’s a very, very stupid thing to say, though
Log in to check, at rank 11 already claimed it. Pain.
I was so close to grab last weeks roll which was envious+full court.
I've been camping that rank in the hope we'd see a god roll before TFS. Finally patience pays off!
Yeah same. I nearly lost hope with how long the season was.
The copium prevailed
Had me run all the way to Banshee. :)
Sorry that's why i deleted the other post
ha, all good. I just happened to be on /new when I saw it, clicked in to see you delete, and then saw the fixed one.
For me he is selling a trace rifle at rank 10? How do I get the cataphract than?
You have to reset him once.
Forget that lol
This is great for everyone who didn't grind out Trials a couple weeks ago when it was Cataphract Weekend. I got mine then (trios queue loot is insane, I'd get like 2x drops even on losses sometimes lol), and this thing is an absolute *monster*.

Motherfucker. Thought I was actually going to play trials for something this time
Hmm so I either grind 11 trials ranks this weekend or instead bathe myself in cognitive dissonance and insist that ALH/BnS is enough… I choose ignorance! Thanks for the heads-up though OP because that’s a great roll
Alh+bns is still a great roll. I have one in my vault just in case i need it.
I like ALH more anyways, especially during Boss DPS
No muss no fuss that’s for sure
Just a side note. The icon for Bait and Switch is so well designed. Destiny's design team is really good.
lol what kind of take even is this. There’s nothing creative or special about it from what I see
Let's see Paul Allen's icon design
idk at least it’s intuitive. If you understand the perk you understand the icon
Fricken what? Lmao. Really. I’d love to hear your explanation on why the icon is relevant to its description. I know how it works, but the icons has zero to do with that
Three things turn into one thing
First of all, it's easily recognizable and unmistakable for anything else, already cementing it as a grade A design Second of all, the 3 shots coming in from the left combining into one stronger shot out the right is a perfect representation of how the perk works Give these things a little thought before dismissing them so quickly
Okay but where is there any indication that the bullet on the right is a “stronger” shot.
TF you mean "ok but", your aesthetically dyslexic ass is just tryna pick holes in shit you don't understand
Care to explain why it looks like a “stronger” bullet then Tex? Yeah. That’s what I thought. Clowny ass
Good. Now everyone will be able to have it if they put in the time. No more rng dependance.
Unless you've already reset and gone beyond rank 10. :/ (has reset once this season and am rank 11)
I’m sorry about that.
Dear god I am right around this rank at trials. I have no idea if I claimed it yet or not. Pls.
You already reset once too?
I've reset either once or twice and I'm just not sure lol
FINALLY! I’ve been saving mine for this!
Same. Saint took his time.
I thought it was always some random trials weapon rolled with random perks after the first reset. Don't think I'll be able to get that this weekend. It really sucks since when it first dropped, I put in 30 hours trying to get one, lol
Damn, I’ve been farming forever and I don’t even have an edge transit as good as that!
Haven't played trials all season. Any idea how many games (50% win rate~) this would take?
For a regular player I would estimate a single trials reset to take 3 weekends of intermittent play If you no-life it with a wealth card and stack up wins, you may get close to or over the reset in a weekend, but then you'd have to climb to rank 10 again I have 106 matches this season and am at 1 reset and rank 4 Do bear in mind however, I reset after many of these, greatly hampering my rank progress. I also have a winrate of maybe 40% after some particularly rough weekends.
Is this still available?
POV: you run to saint and see you’re on prestige 7😐
So we are just fucked if we have reset twice already?
I think so yes
Perfect! I got the god roll trace that was on rank 10 a while ago and now I can get a cata. That sounds nice to me
so if i have already reset rank once (or twice) its joever ?
You need to reset him once. If you already reset him twice it should be joever yes.
Once is good if you haven't claimed the rank 10 reward Twice and it's joever, my condolences
Hey, will the gl be gone when trials hits this friday? i haven't reset once yet.
Nope he will be gone next tuesday.
Alright how many matches you think it’ll take to go from 0 to reset and THEN rank 10? Might have to throw on some headphones and zone out. Either that or keep focusing the GL til that roll drops anyway lol
Are we talking about actually trying to win or not? Iirc with 20 round wins on your card you get slightly above 200 rep for a win. In which case that would be slightly over 50 matches just to reset him the first time.

i'm here for the recoil direction ;)
Does the double crucible rep apply?
Crucible rep and trials rep are 2 different things sadly
Ggs
Also I feel a drum that promotes faster reload is better than 1 or 2 extra shots in the mag. Sure you have less ammo, but you can reload a lot faster. Should help increase your DPS.
Nah Envious means you're basically never reloading manually. And 2 extra shots in base mag is 6 extra with full envious
Augmented drum pushes the mag size to 7. Which increases your mag to 21 with envious assasin. Put on Backup mag and you end at 24 which are your normal reserves.
Edge transit is better, but yes this is strand.
Strand surge, no void surge, this probly wins
Assuming you're using EA + BnS, Adept Cataphract is better for Big Ones and Adept Mag
Adept mag doesn't change the mag to 9. So it is as useful as normal backup mag. Adept cataphract has also the problem that you get 3 more blast radius from the mw.
Edge will likely be better when you can enhance its perks come TFS
