Thanks! Them not showing up until 50 threw me off.
Man I'm a sliver away from Fabled in Comp but this game has really gone down the shitter hard the last week or two. PVP in any form (Iron Banner is the absolute worst and I will never touch that again in its current format) is borderline unplayable now due to the amount of dodgy shit going on in every match. Bit fed up.
Been saying PVP is shit for years it feels like, glad to see people coming around. Only people who like it are people who can stomp on everyone and have salad bar or shaxx shut down the game.
could only forge one frame before i turned off my ps4
just reached a point where the insanity of the load times, the inefficiency of those quest lines in particular just drove me to a breaking point
i will grit my teeth and get through it for joten and never touch another forge again

From what I understand that only
Helps if you have a PS4 Pro.
Yeah but you still have to unlock Izanami for the sword for some reason.
Getting close to breakneck!
Auto Rifle kills 497/500
Auto Rifle Multikills 100/100
Challenging enemies defeated 150/150
Matches completed 36/40
Breakneck will suck anyway LOL. I dont like AR's... Bungie plays me like a fool every time. Put a carrot in Destiny, even when I'm not hungry, I'll probably chase it.
I do use them for Last Wish though so, maybe.

I bought a 480 GB Adata ssd over the holidays for $56 (had no idea how cheap SSD's are getting) mostly too put Destiny on. Xbox One X.
TBH I haven't actively noticed a difference. But, I put it on and first used it after a several weeks Destiny hiatus, so it's possibly just the fact I wasnt tuned to the games loading times since I hadn't played in a while. Also possible if I took it off now I'd notice a big slowdown. Who knows. I'm assuming it's helping...
What's the lowest zoom you can get on a sniper, 35?
Mine almost has that - accurized, snapshot & moving target. It's been my favourite legendary sniper for months, I like the range advantage it has over Twilight Oath. Bite is the one real keeper out of Iron Banner, imo. Everything else got tossed in the vault pretty quick, but that one's always hung around. Wish there was an energy slot equivalent I could pair w/ Cerberus.

Bungie NEEDS to do something about the rampant AFKing going on in Forges.
You are *never* kicked for inactivity in forges because you're knocked around and die - particularly in bergusia. And matches are short enough and you auto re-queue when it fails that it lets them just keep trying to leech.
I've been matched with the same AFKing asshole 4 forges in a row and I want to scream.

Breakneck is just fun. Trying to chain stacks of Rampage for an entire engagement is like mini game in and of itself. Even if you don't like AR's normally, there's a good chance it may convert you.
3 more scourges down, another 18 collective pulls and not seeing one person get an Anarchy. :L Have full armor sets for my Warlock and Titan now though. The Warlock set, minus the helmet, is the best looking Warlock set since D1. Real top notch fashion badassery. Hopefully next week is kind enough to give me the hunter boots and cape instead of 3 chest pieces and a fusion rifle :/
What. The Jade Rabbit is (barely) meta?? Is guardian.gg broken or something? Don't get me wrong, it's one of my absolute favourite weapons, but colour me shocked there isn't something else beating out that tiny percentage. I'm surprised Retold Tale doesn't make the cut either. And as hard as it is to get, I swear I see more Not Forgottens than Polaris Lances. Is this a PC thing?
Can't you get the web client for discord to work? Like, if it works in browser on Chrome, I don't see why a Chromebook shouldn't run it. I thought that was the point of those devices.
I mean, where to start? So you think that because you got lucky and found a group to carry you that means it's OK? Also, three hours is a terrible time for clearing Scourge. Like, absolute garbage tier. Blaming the group leader for not checking stats is also terrible. Blaming someone else for trusting you awful. Abusing someone else's trust to get what you want is always wrong.
You say you got bogged down for a couple of hours; you said prior that it was because someone didn't understand CAP. I'm gonna take a guess and lay the blame on you. I'm also going to blame you for the adds not getting cleared effectively, because those snipers are a real problem in that fight. Given how bad you are at getting AR kills in gambit, I think it's quite likely that you weren't clearing for the group. Feel free to link the PGCR to prove otherwise. Just search for yourself on raid.report and post the activity report here.
Just because nobody raged at you in the raid, that doesn't prove anything. Most players are mature enough to understand that raging doesn't get anywhere, and when you start getting mad and kicking players it's hard to recruit replacements mid run, and any replacements you get are likely to be players who were kicked for being trash. I'm sure you already know all this already, right? What with you having 500 clears in VOG alone.
That is funny, but not in the way you think it is.
This is so annoying. I was in Izanagi the other day with someone doing this. I mean, if they want to go AFK lore farming that's fine - I've done it - just put on low power gear so you only get matched with other players doing the same.
Destiny desperately needs vote kick. It's the only solution for strike AFK too.

I bet Wavesplitter isn't at the top because not many people have it still. Otherwise that thing is absolutely nasty. I put my NF away during last IB for it. Its the ultimate shotgun ape shutdown, just jump up and voop.
Those low-fire rate Scouts have a cult following because of how consistent they feel and their crispy 3-taps. Any map you can post up outside of pulse rifle consistency range, you can lock down. It's a strategy bound to crop up in a game where such a high percentage of players are carrying a loadout tailored to short and medium range. The problem is that so few maps actually permit anything but short and medium engagements. Next time you wind up on Equinox or Meltdown try out a Scout though. You might be surprised.
Wavesplitter isn't at the top because the energy slot is oversaturated for good weapons.
That list is about right. For the very few long range maps I see Jades more than any other scout. Furnace will eventually overtake bygones when more people get it. As for the meta, if you can't beat them join them.
After getting NF, I realized that thing is top tier. The range from Luna just makes a huge difference and no drop mag for wasted bullets gives it an edge too. People told me the recoil feels worse but I didn't notice much difference. Only problem is if you go on a streak you will run out of ammo. Something that happens far too often with me. I need like 999 ammo.

No, hey, I wasn't kidding when I said it was one of my favourite weapons, and everything you said is why; it just feels more consistent than it has any reason to. People give it a hard time because Fate of all Fools doesn't do much, but JR's consistency is more meaningful than any gimmicky exotic perk to me. Even before the rate of fire was fixed I was maining it for a good long while. I could never figure out why everyone was so hung up on hand cannons when JR could 3 tap from anywhere. I mean I get it, zoom & handling matter a lot, but still.
The one thing that got me to put it away for a while was feeling like it forced me to play too safe, too passively. On the one hand, my KD has never been higher in my history with this game (heck, any FPS) than it was during that period. But on the other, it was a lot of sitting around camping lanes waiting for stuff to happen. Maybe I just need to learn a new style.
Also, it would be nice if that catalyst dropped some day. The drop rate must be in the range of one in several thousands.
Good night.
Anarchy
Jotunn
Curated hammerhead.
And actually more happy about hammerhead. Has feeding frenzy Rampage, did about 7 or 8 frames with all complete shit rolls. Now I don't have to keep doing the boring ass kill 25 powerful enemies.

LOL, my fourth attempt at Insight Terminus Nightfall gave me another Long goodbye. This time it has fourth time the charm and Extended Mag which means I can shoot 11 times without reloading if I put on backup mag.
This is Aztecross PvE godroll for him

Finally, after a couple of week long grinds for the Blast Furnace, I got the Godroll!
I also got an awesome roll on the HC.
My Stryker's
Still missing some great rolls on the MG, AR, SR, and Bow

Breakneck is easily in the top 5 of Primary/Kinetic weapons in the game along with (in no particular order) Blast Furnace, Bygones, Midnight Coup, some would argue Chattering Bone/Go Figure, etc.
It depends on the game activity/encounter but having the Breakneck, Blast Furnace (with FF + KC or RP), and Midnight Coup pretty much covers all the bases. Unless of course you decide to use a Sniper or the Threat Level SG in that slot but then there are plenty of Primary options in the energy slot too.
We still need Firefly back as a perk/trait option on Kinetics (outside of Ace of Spades) and a Hung Jury-like tier Scout Rifle to emerge.
Edit: Just general PvE talk, nothing related to the PvP discussion above.

Agreed. Clean sight, stable as a laser, can hip fire at close range. It's the Midnight Coup of Forsaken.
Prolly something like Opening Shot, Quickdraw, Accurized Rounds, Full Choke/Rifled Barrel and Range MW.
I like having quality of life perks instead, like Full Auto and Auto-Loading Holster next to Accurized Rounds and Full Choke/Rifled, because I never have to reload the shotgun in crucible after picking up ammo and if I miss a shot, I can get my second shot in quicker.
After I posted, I did a quick search and came up with this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/a9nxtf/dust_rock_blues_god_roll_farming_guide/
He says Full Choke, Accurized Rounds, Slideshot, Snapshot Sights, and Range MW.
Then I went through the DRBs in my vault and turns out I have: Full Choke, Accurized Rounds, Slideshot, and Range MW. It has Rampage on it, instead of Snapshot.
Gonna have to try it out in IB.
These are the guys that do nothing but run around pvp maps, sliding on their knees with shotties.
Tell them to pick up a rifle already.
Yes, I know them all too well.
I thought that they were sliding to get closer to me... but it turns out that sliding increases the range of the shotgun.
(I've been playing for years, but I still don't know much about some perks).
Saw this other video:
According to him, Rampage is better than Snapshot Sights.
What's a good mod for this? Rampage Spec? Targeting Adjuster?
For shotguns u want the Icarus mod. Also, the trade-off between slide shot and opening shot really depends on ur playstyle. Opening shot also adds range to ur shot.
So sliding and shooting while jumping?
Everything I hate about PVP.
But since I have the weapon...
I've got a Good Bone Structure with Opening Shot and it's a fun shotgun in PVP. Also has Accurized Rounds and Full Bore as well as Range MW so the range is nice.
In other news, my streak continues. 4 days in a row now and 4 Forsaken Exotic weapons. Today it was Trinity Ghoul while doing the Heroic daily mission on Titan. Seems fun but I don't know that I would use it over some of the other cool options for the energy slot.
It's more of a fixed roll vs a God roll situation there. I've gotten 25+ or so Dukes over my playtime and have still not gotten a singe one with rampage, or anything good for a roll thus far...
Dust Rock Blues is a very good shotgun especially with the right perks, mod and MW however, I would encourage people to try The Chaperone as well. It has better RoF, impact and handling as well as MAX range plus the intrinsic perk "The Roadborn" further increases handling, range and precision damage after a precision kill.
If you can land those headshots it's an absolute beast.
Best paired with Trust, Claws of the Wolf, Right Side of Wrong or Horror's Least!
Lastly, don't pass on Lord of Wolves! A lot of fun as well.
