Not a fan of the verdant forest. That thing is way too long to complete.
The most boring and lame "content" I've done since the series began. Dudes just kept going and going, I just stopped as I couldn't wait for it to end...the boss fights were Ok I guess being one right after another but I'm guessing that becomes super annoying too on the next run. I usually like this type of stuff just for the gunplay/gameplay but wow was that boring as it gets.

Just got the Arbalest too. Feels pretty good to me. Does quite some damage against shielded enemies and the charge time isn't too bad.

Yeah, need to get folks to understand they can stop after 7 or 10 or whatever and then just clear the bosses. That would work better for everybody.

I'm at 1730 and trying to figure out how to milk it to 1980 with least risk...probably going to wait for my 120 reset points for starters. That's a couple of losses buffer of points before I'm even back to 1730, besides mainly I'm too tired tonight anyway.

i Alredy got myself the Lunas Howl and Recluse thanks to that brazilian friend. I was going to offer you help to reach fabled but with that fuckery going on with the revelry aka mayhem everywhere im not touching Comp for 3 weeks until this goes away.

I'm playing a lot of Crucible right now (mostly Rumble but with a little QP and Comp on the side) and I get killed by Recluse more often than NF/LH on the PC. With the Handcannons (and this includes TLW) it's not that hard to move and position in such a way as to out range them if you are using a pulse or a scout. Watch Cammycakes play Rumble if you want to watch someone who's an expert at positioning in order to take advantage of favorable match-ups.


Again, watch Cammycakes play Rumble. He's very good at showing how to move around so you don't get "pinched" by two or more opponents at once. You want to be the person doing the pinching, not the person who's getting pinched. Run away from a situation in which your radar is lit up from two or more directions simultaneously. That's not a favorable match-up for anyone. Edit - Here's an excellent Cammycakes video for showing how to move and avoiding the pinch.

Yeah, rumble to me is the easiest mode in crucible. It's easier to put yourself in favourable positions there than anywhere.

The thing I never get about youtubers though is how they constantly get the flank. Opponents almost always seem to see me on radar & are ready.

Why does going past 7 exist if its absolutely fucking pointless. Is there even a triumph for it? Thought this through, they did not.

Arbalest got. Somehow I thought it was ya know, a regular fusion, not a linear fusion. Much rather have the former.

That felt like quite a slog to get it, too :/

Took it into crucible just now, thank goodness it seems awful. It is cool it can one shot, but it's deliberate firing and horrific flinch make it a non starter as far as I can tell. The only caveat being I'd be the last one to be able to get performance out of a deliberate, sniper style weapon, so maybe some people can be annoying with it? Have to check the YT reviews.

It's a gambit weapon for sure.

Skip grenade central in my last couple pvp games. I ain't mad though, finally grinded out fabled in comp and got Recluse. Doing it solo was annoying at times but fun. Now just need to finish Luna.

Hopped back on. Got Arbalest. Could be a nice Pve weapon for sure. Time to go back on break from this game though.

I couldn't help but to go into crucible with my shinobus vow and Grenade buff on. Lul. Got a ghost in the night medal my first and only match. Pure nonsense. Power fantasy was maximum though.

arbalest is my route to those linear rifle kills for the invader triumph in gambit prime.

the flinch makes it a bit too unwieldy to be top tier in crucible id say but its fun being able to pair it with recluse for sure

Trying to get a Militia's Birthright with spike grenades has thus far been unsuccessful. The best one I have with prox or high velocity rounds does not seem to be as reliable as my Orwing's Maul with spike grenades at getting kills. I really want to get the Mountaintop triumph done but I also want to try Luna's and the Recluse. Have had the best luck so far running Attunement of Grace with Lunafaction boots with Fighting Lion even if it takes all my willpower not to clean up with a kinetic hand cannon.

by using the exact same gun as everybody else because it's simply superior to everything else. Must take a lot of learning.

Adapt and learn to get Luna's Howl, not adapt and learn to use Luna's Howl.

Quickplay was grenade spam central but Supremacy was rather chill with no one abusing the grenade mechanic. Maybe I just got lucky but I actually enjoyed Supremacy last night. The extra orb generation is still in play though which meant super chaining was amped up a notch.

I am finally on the last step of the Redrix quest which is, of course, reset your Valor rank 5 times in a single season. I'm glad to be on the last step even if it is technically the longest but at least I can just grind it out without having to do specific game types or use specific weapons. I'm a couple hundred points a way from my second reset of the season (should have that done tonight) and that's without really prioritizing Crucible. If I prioritize Crucible then I should be able to get the 5 resets done.

And I'm not even doing it necessarily because I plan to use Redrix's Broadsword all that much. I just want to do it mostly for the same reason that people climb a tall, difficult mountain. "Because it's there and it's a challenge!"

I should have gone for the Recluse before this event lol. The tonics make crucible a shitshow. It would have been a great pairing with Arbalest. Although I don't play crucible very often, getting Fabled is pretty easy. It's just that Gambit Prime is way more fun to play. Which other weapons would pair well with Arbalest in the energy slot?

So anyone playing around with Arbalest in Crucible. I played 1 match last night and got killed by it a few times...
Every youtuber I watched this morning seems to really like it in crucible. Mill was like "this made me love Destiny again I'm maining it forever."

I kinda don't get the thinking behind the weapon though. Were they just like "eff it, who cares about all those other linears? Let's just put them out of a job." Because literally the only reason to use them now is if for some reason you really like them but want to keep your kinetic slot open.

I've not gotten a single Crucible pinnacle weapon and have had no issue taking out Luna/Not Forgotten lads with whatever weapons I'm using, and I'm always using different loadouts. Most of which don't even involve a shotgun.

Shit players will always be shit players, regardless of the gun they're using. A doofus with Luna is still a doofus.

Isn't Sleeper a Linear Fusion? It's still pretty strong and would be preferred for some bosses I would think.

Haha! My first QP match with Shinobu and the grenade buff was 30 kills and most were from just chucking grenades at enemy spawn. Hilarious, but I'm really thinking comp is going to be an utter shitshow right now. Surely they can't let this continue.

3.) Sentinel
4.) Grenade tonic

Can confirm this loadout is making people salty. 10/10.
Yeah I loaded up a game on my lunch break and even without being able to give it 100% concentration I still got 15 kills (mainly from suppressor grenades) and shut down 3 or 4 supers. I mainly stood in the back tossing them towards our team mates who were in trouble. Works like a charm.

I definitely feel like I'm the best and most well rounded I've ever been in crucible lately. Most any random QP match I will be creeping towards the top of the scoreboard without even trying. Also my Elo's are on a sustained positive trend. I can even do good with a hand cannon well at least baby mode Luna's. Also better than I've ever been with shotguns, Im pretty comfortable with them now which is a first. i dont run either hc's or shotguns regularly but i can now use them effectively.

If there's some things I'm still terrible or completely inexperienced at, it'd be the whole grenade launcher meta, and sniping. Still, you cant be proficient in everything.

Turning my mobility up to 8 and switching to arcstrider as well as using Stompees also all are better. The mobility will really win you some strafe fights as well as help surprise people in CQC. All this time in crucible and I never really knew it. Well I did, but only in some theoretical sense that mobility affects strafe speed, I didn't know how actually good it is. At least in this meta.

No doubt because I've just played a lot recently, and my foray into comp also made me better.

My curated outlast is definitely better than my various nightshades. 540's>450 (3 burst)'s, evidently. The damage profile (meaning all the damage including body shots in real, dynamic play, not paper ttk in a 1v1)on the 450's seems poor (versus other top pulses) I dont care what the paper TTK says.

Also I've basically been maining 900 RPM SMG's as my CQC for a little while. Heroes Burden or Recluse in energy slot, and pulled out a old Pillager for kinetic slot. I find them really fun and seem like the most effective smg's.

BTW I cant believe Bungie gives you like 12 essence for a crucible match. I thought at least since people had to play the forest to get some it'd limited. Nope! Hell you can probably keep the buff up indefinitely just by playing crucible.
