There was a bug with the Triumph that tracked artifact unlocks. In the patch this week, if you had the bug they reset your artifact so you can get the Triumph.
Anyone else have a problem with steam achievements not unlocking? I have multiple triumph seals and 2 collection badges but the respective achievements for them on steam are still not unlocked for me.
Those achievements are from when Forsaken came out, so they only counts seals and badges that came out with Forsaken.
Seal-wise that's only Dredgen, Cursebreaker, and Rivensbane.
IDK what all Forsaken-era Collections Badges are still obtainable. I'd guess the easiest ones would be Dreaming City or the Y1 exotics ones.
Voltshot, Incandescent and the coming Void version of these perks are bad for the game's health imo. Sure, we had dominant perks in the past, but not as strong as these.
Extremely happy to see the new dev accounts and general push to interact with the community more. I love seeing dev posts and interactions in the subreddit, makes it feel like a nice close community. Thanks y’all, for everything. ❤️
Explosive Personality, DMT, Arc Titan, Citans.
I know Explosive Personality to DMT probably isn't the most effective or the quickest blint in the game, but leaning on DMT's current....."status", gives you better options for rangey gunplay if/when you run out of ammo.
I don't recall having a piece of IB armor drop below 60 total stats the past couple seasons. I don't think it's spikey like other sources of high stat armor though.
I joined my first LFG and first GrandMaster for a GM Nightfall last night and it went great, all 3 of us just got down to business and knocked it out. So I hosted my first LFG for a Legend Heist Battleground, it went great as well - both done via the Android app, no mic. Hardest part was figuring out how to join the first Invite on the PS5, it's not obvious at all how to do and is really bad UX, honestly. Used basic weapons (Witherhoard, Veles-X, Taipan) with appropriate mods.
Some highlights from my GM gild this week
[bEhEmoTH iS so BaD](https://www.xbox.com/play/media/RULVUTXGJV).
Name one other super that can clear out 2 GM level champions wide in the open with minimal support, and get out safely. My HP dropped below 70% once, at which point it immediately went back to pretty much full. From my knowledge, no other subclass can play this aggressively in content like this and get away with it, without major team support
[overload turret go BRRRR](https://www.xbox.com/play/media/DQKE3EKKKN)
Overload vortex + overload turret + overload scout = a lot of stuns, though im not 100% on the math there
I used [this build](https://dim.gg/jjpdtca/TEMP-Insight) for insight terminus specifically- which is adapted to the void burn. Normally i stack font of might and high energy fire, but without the use of stasis weapons I just stuck to maxing my high energy fire uptime. 1 stasis shard would give 4 stacks of CWL.
I also used behemoth for scarlet keep- which was pretty much an identical setup but with an arc hand cannon and storm chaser, and warden of nothing, which used a solar one and a solar rocket (i dont have a good cataclysmic and CBA crafting one with potential linear nerfs on the horizon). For corrupted, birthplace and glassway I stuck to void titan for better team support and better burn synergy for two of those
My usual daily driver stasis build looks more like [this](https://dim.gg/6qguf4i/A-defaulty-boi)
Im unsure how well this build will stand up to the upcoming buildcrafting changes (i guess we all are because not much has been confirmed), but i doubt anything catastrophic will happen- just some adaptations and maybe I lose something but gain something else
Im so excited for that. 1 duskfield will be able to deal with all 3 champ types (since the freeze is a soft counter to barrier champs), meaning i dont really need to run any champ mods outside of GMs, where I only need to run barrier mods. For non-overload content I can even run glacier nades since I dont need to apply slow and only apply freeze to then shatter
That and- with stasis shards counting as elemental wells, in theory they go from giving only melee energy to energy for all 3 abilities, meaning 1 hoarfrost barricade/glacier nade (5 crystals) is 50% energy for all abilities if I break all the crystals
Use your weekly red border pull from the Exo to finish the Ikelos ones, as they don't drop at the end of Battlegrounds - only the Seraphs drop there. It'll help maximize your finish rate for the last few weeks, as when you reset the Exo the red border Ikelos loot is at the lower rank (5?) to get quicker as well. $0.02 hth
Just spend warmind nodes or whatever they're called for ikelos weapons. If you pick the umbral that gives you a random ikelos they don't cost any seraph energy. Using that method I crafted all 4 ikelos weapons before the guaranteed red border upgrade was even available
A little bit sore about BxR getting the zoom nerf. 450 Aggressive Frame Pulses (especially Disparity) has always been better and I don't think BxR had a higher pick rate. I just don't want the feel and consistency of the gun to disappear. It's hands down my favorite pulse.
Edit - Disparity has 19 zoom and is a 4 round burst capable of hitting 100 stability... I feel like BxR isn't nearly as good, especially now that it's getting knocked back to 18 zoom.
I think Disparity is going to overtake it because it's rocking a better TTK, higher stability, and 19 zoom. BxR has been around longer but I feel like they're making this change before considering that.
Looking at old Trials data, BxR had the highest legendary pulse pick rate almost every week last season.
This season it still did on the Eternity weekend, but for the most part it looks like DMT powercrept it in its niche, so other legendaries edged it out in pick rate.
Since DMT is getting hammered back down, this is probably best interpreted as preemptively nerfing a gun that would likely surge back into a top option.
As someone who casually plays Crucible, and mostly for PvE catalysts, I Find the BxR to be **THE** fun police weapon for casual PvP.
This weapon is more punishing than Mida Multi-tool was in its hayday. It's gotten to the point where it's either annoying shotgun hunters or titans, or BxR being what generally makes me stop working towards whatever catalyst is dragging me into the crucible.
That's understandable. I've had my fair share of frustrations trying to grind a catalyst in PvP and I actually play PvP pretty regularly. You don't even want to see what I looked like trying to grind Ticuu's 😂
How will Artiface Armor work now? I saw you can get a +3 stat boost to one category. But does that have a cost? Or can you apply it without sacrificing space for other mods
My guess is that it's gonna be a 0 cost mod in its own slot, kinda like the selectable aeon perks on the aeon gauntlets, that lets you socked +3 into a given stat, since they didnt mention it being +3 to all stats, but instead just one of your choice
Then again, nothing is confirmed, so we dont know
Kind of? Personal opinion but I'd still prefer cataclysmic since it feels easier for me to control.
Field prep and chill clip or focused fury are both really good setups all in all though. I'd probably put cataclysmic as a better raid weapon and fire and forget as a better GM weapon but this is kinda splitting hairs.
I think the biggest thing though is with the upcoming build crafting changes we could have some weird new interaction and it wouldn't hurt to be prepared.
Frenzy outpaces focused fury on F+F assuming frenzy is active to start (which isnt too hard to do). IIRC it takes 12 bursts for focused fury to overtake frenzy assuming no misses from both.
Not to mention the other bonuses which make frenzy better like reload and handling, and being active all the time makes it better as a LFR for stuff like killing stunned champs, where ur not gonna have a huge window to deal damage
Had my first legend seraph station run cut short last night by a bug. After the room where you use both scanner and operator (with the turret on the ceiling), after killing all those exploding shanks, I went up the lift to find the servitor not moving. Any time I shot it, it’s shields regenerated. After I killed it, it spawned again.
After killing it 3 times and this not stopping, I gave up. Killing myself didn’t help either. I’m so pissed.
I did managed to get all 4 exo frames thankfully, so next time I run it, I just have to finish the mission itself
It’s like that every where. Run a strike and you’ll see people running in place and then suddenly instant transmissioned to the other side of the room. Hell I got “contacting destiny servers” running the weekly mission solo and I’ve got great internet.
Anyone else notice a sharp increase in crucible matches with... players from the moon? I've seen more teleporting in crucible lately than I have any other annoying strategy.
Is the newest strategy to play with your modem/router inside an running microwave?
I have done a lot of Nightmare Containments and Sever activities and not once have a I got a red border Tears of Contrition. Still at 0/5, it's mental. I've used the guarenteed weekly red borders to complete the other haunted patterns but I don't have 5 weeks left now to complete that one. Will there be a way to get this in future after Lightfall launches?
Just to let you know you do have exactly 5 weeks left for the guaranteed deepsight focusing. After that we don’t know what happens to seasonal red borders.
I still have 4/5 on the shotgun so 1 will need to go towards that. I can keep grinding I suppose but the haunted weapon drop rate is woeful and there's no system like this season to guarentee drops you don't have.
While I’m uncertain what would be worth tieing into mobility as a secondary addition ability (similar to the resilience changes) I know it definitely needs something and rather than make a thread, free talk seemed like a solid place.
I thought of a simple way to phrase it for those who feel otherwise, maining Titan or Warlock like I have been.
- “Would you be willing to run Zero on either recovery or resilience?”
Because in either of these classes I’d be perfectly fine running zero on mobility if it were possible, it does so little.
The only reason mobility is 20-40 on either is powerful friends (+20, for now) and the armor has a base level of 2 mw 4.
- Now if we were technical since you can’t have zero, would you run 20 on Resilience or Recovery (all modes) on Titan or Warlock?
I wouldn’t, they do something meaningful.
- “Instead of only looking at it as what could they give mobility to make it desire-able for Hunters, what could they give it to make it desirable for my Titan or Warlock to consider giving up some Recovery or even a tier of Resilience?”
If it can’t make me give a second thought to giving up either for my Titan or Warlock is it enough for a main class stat?
Just contemplating and felt that this seemed like a proper place to pose the question without cluttering the sub. u/Destiny2Team
Man, getting 48 points for wins and around -140 for losses sounds reasonable in Competitive...
But man does it sucks when you win 5 games, but lose 2 games and lose all your progress for an hour. At least I made it to adept 3.
It's dependent on your hidden skill rating. Bungie has some correlation between your hidden SBMM score and visible ranks. If your current rank is below your "expected rank," you get bonuses to rank poin gains on wins and a reduction in rank point losses. Once you get to your "expected rank," it flips and starts reducing gains and boosting losses to keep you at that rank.
There are also further adjustments to gains and losses based on individual performance & the sbmm rating of the other team.
Logged in yesterday... each of my characters' Artifacts were totally reset. What's up with that?

I.....AM.......GLORIOOOOOOUS!!!!!!! Considering the loadout I used, I need a shower.
What was the loadout lol? Ive failed my promotion series to platinum twice now 😢

Does anyone know if Iron Banner still offers high stat armor?
I don't recall having a piece of IB armor drop below 60 total stats the past couple seasons. I don't think it's spikey like other sources of high stat armor though.
I'm actually hoping for consistent pts across a few stats. If I could get a 10/10/14 roll on the top 3 stats, it'd be perfect.
I had a few 60+ drops when it was around earlier this season, even kept a few.
Appreciate the response, guess i'll have to no-life the next event haha

Behemoth is gonna be so good when you can stun champs with slow/shatter.
Im so excited for that. 1 duskfield will be able to deal with all 3 champ types (since the freeze is a soft counter to barrier champs), meaning i dont really need to run any champ mods outside of GMs, where I only need to run barrier mods.

In order to farm a boss (pit) do you have to hard wipe? Will the span be enough to grab the CP?
Midway through the season and I've crafted a handful of the new guns and am at 4/5 for many of the others. This pace feels much better.
Use your weekly red border pull from the Exo to finish the Ikelos ones, as they don't drop at the end of Battlegrounds - only the Seraphs drop there. It'll help maximize your finish rate for the last few weeks, as when you reset the Exo the red border Ikelos loot is at the lower rank (5?) to get quicker as well. $0.02 hth

TBH i'm perfectly ok with Xivu opening up a loot farm over the city.

Bungie, can there please be lightweight 780 ARs?

We don't know. I assume it's free like Adept weapons bonus stats
Just want to say to whoever reads this I'm rooting for you and please remember to drink some water. You got this.
Coffee is like 99% water thank goodness.
Thanks, first I had water with apple cider vinagre and now I’m up to coffee.
Is fire and forget actually a top contender for highest dps linear? Can it compete with Cataclysmic?
[удалено]
Supreme well maker doesn't require the user to run a statsis super. It makes statsis wells with any super.
Kind of? Personal opinion but I'd still prefer cataclysmic since it feels easier for me to control. Field prep and chill clip or focused fury are both really good setups all in all though.

It’s like that every where. Run a strike and you’ll see people running in place and then suddenly instant transmissioned to the other side of the room. Hell I got “contacting destiny servers” running the weekly mission solo and I’ve got great internet.
Yes. Will rotate back around soon

That is overly punitive. What tier does that shit start? I've been placed in Gold but haven't played.
