Very excited for this. Infinite Forest is seriously underused. I've always loved the idea of procedural dungeons and altered missions/strikes, etc. for this game.

It's only worth playing if you have a coordinated group. I've been playing it mostly solo, because NOBODY on my FL or in our clan wants to bother with it, since it's just... not very fun and there are no real rewards for dealing with it.
Blueberries run around, kill the easy guys, grab the motes, grab the heavy ammo, run past the blockers, run and hide from invaders or try to kill them 1v1 with a pulse rifle.... You know, just like regular Gambit, they are completely useless as they are just trying to complete their bounties and boost their infamy. Nobody actually cares to play the game mode, they just want the pinnacle weapons and/or the rank drops. Nothing in Prime changes this formula, although, they did make invasions much more frequent, (because adding the DPS "phases" to killing the primeval wasn't enough to deter melting apparently) so the DPS phase often lasts 10+ mins of constant health yo yo's.
I could go on, but I don;t want to beat a dead horse...
That's insulting to Halo. It would be nothing like Halo. You can't even pick up weapons off the ground and there's no Objective modes that are anywhere close to CTF anymore. Remember Rift? :'(
Was vehicular combat/Combined Arms just so broken it could never come back? I had fun on First Light!
That's an ok roll but not a great one. Headseeker is like a mulligan for missing a head-shot in the first place. It boosts headshot damage within the same burst after getting a body shot but it doesn't make up for having missed the critical hit in the first place. High-impact reserves makes the bottom half of the magazine do bonus damage but isn't as good as Rampage or Killclip in terms of a damage add. AP rounds is solid but pulses really benefit from stability and so I value them less than something like Steady Rounds.
If it's the one Bygone you have then by all means use it and it will do well for you. But definitely be on the lookout for a Bygone (or other pulse) with Steady Rounds/Outlaw/Rampage or Killclip.
Pretty much this is the reason I might dip back in. I just want a better rolled nightwatch and a Spare Rations. I'd rather leave the mode alone besides that. I prefer regular, simpler gambit (and no huge fan of that).
Gambit Prime is fine. It's just Gambit intensified. I don't mind it at all.
Reckoning, on the other hand, is not fun enough to justify the time and effort involved even though the armor rewards have Gambit Prime specific bonuses. Just my opinion but I would rather run Escalation Protocol for the 50th time or another Forge any day before Reckoning. I mean it's not terrible but neither is it particularly compelling either.
Thanks, this is all really solid info. I had a machine gun with Rampage and it was an absolute beast tbf. How good can Bygones be? I don't have another one but don't know if I want to keep playing Gambit tbh. I really have no idea what kinda exotics/legendaries I should be working towards beyond Whisper but I guess it doesn't matter for legendaries tbf.
I've also got myself a Trust with Zen Movement and a Bad Omens with the perk that increase damage after reloading after a kill.
You dont even have to play for Arbalest, it's going in the pool afterwards. Lol
A great sight to look up possible rolls on weapons is Light.gg. I just checked it and it doesn't look like Bygones can roll with Steady Rounds but it can get Ricochet Rounds which not only bounce but also give a nice buff to range. Top tier options in that slot would either be Ricochet Rounds or Flared Magwell for the buffs it gives. The best barrel would be Arrowhead Brake because it gives +30 to recoil direction giving the Bygones a 99 Recoil direction stat meaning it would be very consistent and vertical. Other than that option anything that gives +Range or + Stability is a good option.
In the last 2 columns you really can't beat Rampage or Killclip with Outlaw. Rampage is a little better for PVE while Killclip is a little better for PVP but both are top tier options.
This lmao. People hate spectral blades SO much haha, and the funny part is that it was already nerfed.Goddamn it
Ah, the Bungie Way™: fix shit that affects your in-game economy almost instantly and sit on balancing issues for months

I'm pretty sure it has ricochet round - like almost certain - but I'll have to check. Rampage would have been great; it's a shame you can't re-roll weapons by paying materials..
couldn't we just easily fated engram it after then and skip the event?
That's a great question? I have never done them in d2 because I lack the LL to solo it/ no match making options. Is there specialized loot tied to nightfall specifically?? I should know this.
There are "special" items that can drop in each nightfall completion but unless you are a collector they can be considered not important to go for
Nothing. They are gimmicks, with no substance behind them. They are complete opposite of what they were in D1.
So they don't have higher drop chance for exotics or anything?
You can get a powerful drop, but its only a few light levels above where you are now, its usually trash, and I have never gotten an exotic from a NF. Maybe someone else can chime in but that has been my experience.
Nightfall exclusive weapons. Not sure if catalysts have a higher chance of dropping from them over normal strikes.
But yeah, they've been pointless for ages.
1) Exclusive weapons
2) Exclusive emblems (and variations thereof tied to High Score)
3) Higher chance of Catalysts and Exotics
4) Exclusive challenges related to each Nightfall for the Triumph/Collector score
5) Actually requires a modicum of thought and effort to complete, especially if going for high score, which is completely unlock normal strikes
Sorry just saw this.
I had been running solo till about 1000 glory and then I grouped up with some old friends who I knew from the D1 Trials days. One of them already had Luna's and was going for Not Forgotten.
Just way easier then relying on solos in comp.
Haven't logged on today, any word from Bungie on pinnacle weapons being attainable again?
So it's confirmed there is a higher drop chance for catalysts? Because that's a legit thing I would care about.
Reckoning needs to let you checkpoint you at the end of the bridge if you cleared it in the last attempt. That'd clear up a lot of the annoyances with it.
Having to spend a bunch of time and the boss survives with a pixel of health and having to do it all over again has ended so many game nights.

To be fair, there is plenty of shit to do, it's just all repetitive grindy shit or gambit.... we all love gambit, right.....right?
I love this damn stupid ass game too much that I might play a ton more PvP this weekend.
That is a nice roll. Not going to lie though, this Demolitionist one is pretty awesome for grenade kills. With zero grenade mods it takes about 6 kills with Outlast to complete refill grenade energy. In basically ANY pve encounter that means you have a grenade almost constantly since even killing a Thrall counts.
Edit- Looks like recoil direction is 60 on these which means they are a perfect candidate for a Counterbalance Mod.
I'm liking mine surprisingly so far. Hard to say if I will stick with it.
At times it seems really lethal other times frustrating like you are just tickling them.
Great change of pace though. Very stable out of the box, such that the .8 ttk with all crits seems attainable in theory. And the kill clip does work.
Didn't realize the recoil dir, guess I will try a CB, I dunno though, I always worry Cb spreads out the pattern. Maybe Target adjuster...maybe shoot it at a wall to see how the spread is looking
I finally buffed up to where I have like spare 4 TA mods, 4CB, 4 backup mag, and 4 super. And probably a few more scattered around weapons I wouldn't mind dismantling.
Edit: Just won a super fun one with this gun, came back from down 30+ and won in overtime and I carried, 2.33 efficiency. 2.0 k/d
This thing is really tough to beat 1v1 even with hand cannons if you have 8 mobility and strafe, because you are firing so fast and flinching the hell out of them, meanwhile they cant hit you. Great dueling gun.

I watched Aztecross' reviews so you don't have to -
Suros Regime Catalyst: It's pretty much fucking nothing
Hard Light Catalyst: It's fucking nothing
This was the exact scenario that keyed off my salt post earlier.

Isn't Suros catalyst giving you guarantee health back on kill and 100 recoil direction which is actually good?
for what it's worth true vanguard loved the suros catalyst.
yeah the hard light catalyst seemed really lazy though, as aztecross vid said it's a shame too because a meta AR would be much appreciated about now.
i'm sure i'll get the suros because it's a crucible drop and i play crucible constantly. not yet tho.
i think it's buff to recoil direction i forget the amount, and just a better chance at health regen. one vid i saw estimated 1 in 3 kills gets your health back post catalyst, the other guy estimated 1 in 2.
Not sure how anyone is managing to progress Mountaintop in Mayhem. This is so frustrating. Everyone has the same idea, so every match is filled with other Nightstalkers who are also camping heavy.
And the players who aren't Nightstalkers are all Blade Barrages and Nova Bombs, who will of course use them against me when I finally manage to secure heavy.
Def feeling like this gun ain't worth the headache. What a shit quest.
