a surprisingly cool and fun build for anyone looking to add some entertainment value to Iron Banner this week.
Did you play 3 matches, I'm assuming that is still a requirement?
Definitely planning to try this one out. Looks real fun. Too bad I need to do like 180 strikes to get the Eriana's Vow catalyst... the progress for that catalyst is pathetic.
Also farmed a nicely rolled Breachlight and destroyed so many people in their super, it's insane!
Easy to farm, good Energy HC and has some really good perk combos.
It only drops from Dreaming City activities right? The only one I have sucks-Triple Tap and Outlaw.
So youre saying I have to drag myself over the 5500 mark on the broken glass and salt that is Comp PVP?
You can farm it from the menagerie as well which is a lot easier.
I think you can get it from the Menagerie, which is much easier (the poster said it was easily farmable)
Also no luck on that Triple Tap/Vorpal Trophy Hunter :(
oh well
Menagerie too, can guarantee it with Rune of Desire, another Green rune in slot 2 and any other Rune for the Masterwork.
I don't follow streamers, but I'm going to follow this guy. He's insane and I love his commentary.
This is what I always refer to:
Keep in mind that Glory is only awarded in Competitive Crucible.
I liked it on the Right Side of Wrong in PvP, but there's better perks.
It's a really good 150rpm hand cannon. Very consistent.
150rpm hand cannons are the top tier in PvP because they can kill faster than 140's (110's aren't really relevant) as both archetypes require 3 headshots to kill, but 150's shoot faster. It's really that simple. Before now with the reintroduction of Jack Queen King 3, it was the only year 2+ 150 rpm in the energy slot. People who wanted to run a kinetic special weapon really had no choice if they wanted an energy 150 hand cannon to go with it. Plus, most of its perks are PvP related. Slideshot, opening shot, snapshot sights, and so on.
Waking Vigil also benefits from being very easy to farm via Menagerie. If you're looking to farm one, consider going for an Opening Shot + Snapshot/Slideshot roll. Jack Queen is also fine, but I find its chunky body to be off-putting as it's easier to loose your target around the frame. Waking Vigil is very thin so you see more. It matters (to me).
I have, yes. Checking through my inventory:
- Bygones (rampage/kill clip/rangefinder + headseeker)
- Sacred Provenance (rangefinder + headseeker)
- Nightshade (rangefinder + headseeker)
- Relentless (snapshot + headseeker)
- Claws of the Wolf (rampage + headseeker)
- Premonition (outlaw + headseeker)
- Last Perdition (rangefinder + headseeker)
- Adhortative (frenzy + headseeker)
- Blast Furnace (frenzy + headseeker)
- Right Side of Wrong (firmly planted + headseeker)
- Traveler's Judgment (frenzy/rapid hit + headseeker)
- Death by Scorn (full auto + headseeker)
They're all very good. Want to frustrate someone from range with a pulse? Catch them with that headseeker reliability. You'll win damn near every 1v1. It just makes sure your 2-burst and 3-bust "on paper" kills almost always hit that max ttk. It's quite beautiful, actually.
my man
It's really nice on weapons in which you can pair it with range finder or a damage perk. or any weapon with a meaningful recoil that might otherwise cause some body shots to register regularly in your bursts.

You have to get a million points in nightfalls right? That's worse than leveling up obelisks IMO.
Death By Scorn, bruv. Not every shot is going to be a headshot with an aggressive burst, but whenever it hits the head, it'll hurt. Or at least that's what I think is happening.
:)
My first pvp match for a while. Ran the Bastion / Waking Vigil combo and this is going to be fun.
When you see your radar light up, hip-fire pre-charge and you can melt rushers. Bastion is awesome.
One 100k a week for 10 weeks over a 14 week season, it's not a big deal. If anything the solar kills part of that quest is grindier.
Does it even have to be one a week?
You can't just rattle off 20 50k runs in a weekend if you want?
You can approach it however you want, I just meant it doesn't have to be grindy at all and is kind of a more reasonable objective than it seems at first glance.

Gotcha. I was just temporarily terrified that I was running out of time to complete a once-per-week thing.
Right but it's all old content and I don't even want to do one nightfall, let alone 10. There is no point in doing them aside from being a stupid requirement for the savior title.
At least with the obelisks I mentioned earlier, you were able to work towards like every new weapon of the season by upgrading them.
If you don't want to run old content how did you ever get hooked on Destiny?
The IB bounties are easier this time around, right?
Edit: They must be. In 4 matches I'm done with 1 and half done with two others.

They just autocomplete the rocket launcher step.
Otherwise its unchanged.
I mean the weekly ones. They're going faster than normal I think.
Maybe everyone is higher light than you ?
Doesnt that boost progression of these quests ?
That's like 5-6 master nightfalls which aren't really hard these days when everyone is 970+.
Pretty easily done by playing like 15-20 hours a week.
I didn't say they were hard. I said it's old content which I have no interest in anymore.
You can do 1 master NF on each character once and get 1m points done in two resets. Takes two hours tops.
Definitely one of them, not sure about the others. And that might be it. I'm not really up on the pinnacle grind, so with the four from this, I'm at 963(+17)
Wait, they autocomplete the rocket step? I grinded them out yesterday and made sure to use/get my rocket kills in from the start and thought I just did good planing. Oh well. Still the game I got to the last step was the game I finished it since it filled the "games played" requirement.
And yeah, the weekly quests for pinnacle drops definitely go faster. I got them all done by the time I cleared the main quest chain when last time(last season, not a few weeks ago) it took a lot longer/I didn't finish some.
Anyone who actually wanted to get through their pass in a zip would have already done it during the Dawning while they were baking hundreds of cookies for the double XP.
First time with a season pass and I was worried playing only 2 hours a day would put me at a disadvantage. Baking cookies got me to rank 100 in less than two weeks. Baking > shooting.
