PS4, whatever they gave away on PS+

You will need both to be fully caught up.

Forsaken has the far better campaign and more exotics etc... right off the bat.
Shadowkeep has all the new content being released over time.

If you need to choose one it depends why you're buying. If you want to play the new stuff with the community, for instance, SK might be better for now.

Like I think Shadowkeep is doing a decent enough job keeping us occupied with activities but these activities aren't rewarding. And not just with weapons, but across the board. Need I even talk about Eververse and bright engrams. Nightmare Hunts?

Only thing to chase after is good stats on armor 2.0 and whatever mods you're missing. They at least did good with armor.

Maybe Destiny was better off with Activision and Vicarious/High Moon, after all

Shoes · Oct 30, 2019

I got rid of so many previously decent pre-2.0 exotic armors because at SK launch their stats were so low. RIP me

Zackat · Oct 30, 2019

How is the season pass in this game? Worth, not worth?

demi · Oct 30, 2019

Not worth imo. If you buy Shadowkeep you get this current season right now (Undying) ANYWAY - but Vex Offensive is kinda... eh. The guns are... eh. The armor is... eh. Leviathan's Breath is... eh.

But hopefully they learn from this season and apply to future content drops. Hopefully

Destiny 2 needs to make Year 1 guns applicable with mods.

it is so stupid to have amassed all the Osiris, Warmind, Faction guns but not being able to slap a mod on them

Depends. There are some very nice benefits, like once you get one character to 950 you can bring two more up using items from your Collection and the Season Pass from 750 straight to 940 or so.

The pass alone has some decent stuff attached, but you may as well buy SK as you get it free and the expac is worth it.

This video helped me a lot. I was still chasing range stats on HCs, but he's right, it really doesn't make a difference any more.

Too bad like 90% of the HCs in my vault are range rolls, lol

Gawd, even with the nerfs to striker super, people are still using it to zip around.

Amen, brother. Where's my Y2 Perfect Paradox? How about Frigid Jackal? Ikelos weapons? So many good ones left behind that need Y2 updates.

For real. The sidearm shaft is an act of depravity.

DUAL-WIELDED SIDEARM EXOTIC. IF I PUT MY DEMANDS IN CAPS THEY WILL BE HEARD AND FULFILLED.

dual wielded anything would be nice,unless i miss something only thing even close to dual wield is middle tree void hunter super.

How dare you, sir.

what is shark ?

its not that i dislike handcannons, just that as someone who recently started, it felt like almost all quests were exotic handcannons.
But maybe that was just me doing lumina, thorne, last word, ace and malfesance one after the other.
Plus then shadowkeep dropping and giving vow with the double infinte grind for the catalyst and adding a catalyst to ace.

Range doesn't matter UNLESS you have the combo of Rangefinder + Explosive/Time Payload.

Range still matters on handcannons especially in modes like Survival/Elimination. Rangefinder adds 2 meters and Explosive/Timed Payload reduces the damage falloff so that effectively added 2 more meters for a optimal TTK. 4 meters in total, if you gonna get rangefinder + explosive payload then might as well go max range which will total up to an estimate of 32 meters which is almost pre shadowkeep levels of HC range and alot of map engagements is around 30 meters.

And like Coolguy said, if the distance of 2 meters is so small from perspective then all the more a max range handcannon + Rangefinder + EP matters because if you engage a handcannon user, all you need to do is take a few steps back, the non max range handcannon user suffers from severe dmg falloff while you don't.

First of all, Dead Orbit ftw!

Secondly, the game is not crying out ofr new acivities right now, so they'll wait until they can et maximum mileage from things like y1 random rolls, and Faction rallies.

Hawkeye 131 · Oct 30, 2019

Random question, had some rough games in Solo Comp. last week and I wanted to review some of my games. I've heard a few people mention recording your gameplay via a Twitch broadcast is a great way to do so? Anybody have experience doing this?

Edit: I guess since I'm on Xbox I could just use Mixer?

Yeah, I can hold on to my Handling MW Spare Rations with MultiKillClip now. Had that drop when Gambit Prime first came out. Glad I held onto it. Kicking myself for scrapping two Service Revolvers with RH/KC now, simply because they didn't have a Range MW.

Shoes said:

Depending on their rolls, I held onto them. Got an Armamentarium with Enhanced Unflinching Scout and Scout Reserves. Most of my legs that rolled with Traction? KEEPING.

IIFloodyII · Oct 30, 2019

Skullfort + Missile Titan is still such a fun class. Done with Strike quests now on to Gambit's. 🤢

joefro · Oct 30, 2019

I haven't been playing much since I hit rank 100. I hate the spooky forest, and I'm in no rush to do the dungeon or get that trash machine gun. I hate to say it, but I miss the fucking bright engrams. This new system is trash. I never had to buy silver to get just about everything new in the old seasons.

And a big fuck you to the people saying that the new bounty system would give ample amounts of bright dust...Bungie played you.

clockworkinyou · Oct 30, 2019

As a new player, I feel like I have way too many quests/pursuits/bounties/whatever, and I'm overwhelmed by what I should do next.

I've done all the campaigns, but the quest log is still full and I can't take many bounties on top of what I clear out. Should I just start grinding the Exotic quests?

Bungo looked at the monetization options and decided to go with all of them. Paid DLC every 3 months, lootboxes, microtransactions and a season pass, while at the same time offer less and less cosmetic rewards in favor for paid cosmetics.

On another note, just got my Xenophage. The gun is trash, but the final boss was pretty fun. Also did a 3 man heroic Menagerie. At least there's still challenging stuff to do this season, which keeps the game fun.

This is true, its one mode I think would also benefit from locked loadouts and specified roles ala overwatch.

Altar of Sorrows boss has rotated after the daily reset. It's Taniks and he drops the new sniper rifle.

ABSOLUTELY. Slayerage made a video about fixing Gambit Prime that goes well with your suggestions. Picking roles should lead to giving all players looking to get into Prime the Illicit gear upfront.

Bold One · Oct 30, 2019

Y'all should have gotten your Nagis when it was live and hot, now look at you praying to the heavens for salvation.

Hilarious how last season no one gave a happeny jizz about Eververse, now it's the most important thing in the universe.

Yep, it's my "go-to" for Gambit just because it's so fun to use. Clears groups of adds and builds Super so quickly.

Is that doable with randos from lfg or do i need a coordinated team ?

Both, but you'll have an easier time with coordinated team who are in it to win it. Also come prepared in advance for the strike because you can't switch gear.

I clicked on the link on the first page and discord tells me its temp offline

They were a fun addition to the game. In D1 they were vendors that you could choose to ally with and get exclusive weapons and armor from. In D2 they were a little different, and honestly not nearly as good or engaging as they were in D1, so they removed them to (hopefully) rework them and release them again at a later date. I hope they do.

My advice is always pick 2-3 quests, track them and grind away. This is what I do when it's a lot of stuff to do. Gives you a focus and feels satisfying once you complete and move on to the next item.

Keeps me from getting overwhelmed as well. And, if you're not sure which quest to start with just pick one at random and go with it.

Pickman · Oct 30, 2019

Finally got my Recluse. Got a lot of games in on Momentum Control getting those last wins I needed, and not does that game mode bite. I was one shotting people with a jade rabbit and holding down entire lanes by myself and I suck at pvp.

Why did izanami's burden have to be bugged AGAIN

IIFloodyII · Oct 30, 2019

So are people who are actually wanting to hit 960 base still sane? I play solo 90% of the time, so I have no real intentions of getting there or even 952, because LFGing for the few pinnacle gear activities is not really something I can be bothered doing once, nevermind weekly, but anyways I've solo'd a few + Iron Banner and had 5 951 armour pieces and 4 of the fuckers have been helmets, I don't even care much, but god the 4th Helmet for doing the 9th level of the Halloween thing really triggered me.

JaegerDeus · Oct 30, 2019

The only way you can lose Heroic Menagerie is if the whole team gets extinguished, right? Otherwise, it's just like normal, and if you don't max out each event, you just keep doing events till you unlock the boss?

I think there's a hard limit on how many of the events you can fail too (1 attempt at each I think), but it's apparently pretty easy now, so shouldn't really be a problem. I need to get round to it at some point though, I love the Izanagi as is.

BlakeofT · Oct 30, 2019

Does anyone want my Garden of Salvation jacket code?

I've decided not to sell it and I don't want to purchase the jacket for myself either. I'd very much like to only give it to someone who will use the code themselves, so I'll just have to trust that anyone who reaches out to me will honor that.

Andri · Oct 30, 2019

Anyone on pc able to help me kill the nightfall master boss ?
Am at the final encounter(boss), but we kept getting wiped so the lfg teammates left, i dont need the score just one complete for the seal so i am just waiting and searching for help.

edgefusion · Oct 30, 2019

I did Izanami forge, got the key and inserted it into the box... but its still showing as unchecked. Is the quest still bugged?

shark97 · Oct 30, 2019

i think i thought up a sustainable bounty strategy so i dont feel like it's taking 80% of my playtime, but i'm still progressing my artifact. i think every second day, sometime well after reset, i'll pick up ALL Vex Ikora bounties and Moon bounties. Same with strike bounties. But not actively do them. On the 2nd day I'll double dip, and when I have both days bounties I'll go into those activities and clear most of them as quickly as possible.

I pick the Vex/Moon and strikes because those seem easiest and quickest. I dont want to go into gambit...

Crucible bounties I'll pick up constantly/daily as thats my main activity. And gunsmith bounties daily. And the easy Drifter non gambit ones, "play two crucible matches" for example is a gimme.

Then you still have Haunted Forest bounties to worry about right now (those seem to award like 2X as much XP, am I wrong?) and you're probably already full with ~15 old quests hanging around in inventory too...

Check to see if you already have the Black Armory key mold in your inventory.

It goes into the quest tab now, but I definitely only had one. Got a second one to try again and same issue, I 'insert key' but it doesn't check off the butterfly lock in the box.

Edit: Had a look on the Bungie support forums and whaddya know the quest is bugged again and they're "looking into it" 🙄
