I wonder how effective it is to have two grenades in Crucible...

Going to grab the Sunbreakers as well as two pieces of Vanguard Armour, that will put me on three legendaries and an exotic without getting a single one from a drop!

Not much point in grabbing the chest engram I suppose.

Fuck fuck fuck. Just bought the same Legendary gear twice by mistake. Used up my marks. God fucking damnit. No way to get my marks back. Discarded and got some shards back. God fucking damn.

Damn that sucks. I disenchanted a legendary special weapon because I thought it was rare (I'm color blind and wasn't looking closely)

Could you potentially have 3 with the Warlock's Sunsinger ability which increases grenades by 1? That would be sick........

Not very. You still need to wait for it to charge so if you're used two you have to charge the first one before the second one starts. It can be useful when you have both charged but that didn't happen often enough with me on Sunsinger to be worth it. I'd rather the one grenade that always burns who it hits.

Though of course, if you don't have to pick either-or and you get two grenades and whatever skill you normally like then I reckon it'll be great.

This is what Atheon dropped for me yesterday when we killed him. Solar damage on a primary, pretty cool!

But wait... it gets even better!

Probably going to come in quite handy during Hard Mode Raiding.

Dude, the weekly heroic and nightfall strikes are about as rewarding as it gets!

I agree on the strike playlists though, they should up the number of marks you get.


I'm annoyed by what Xur has. I was hoping for some nice boots. My existing gauntlets are already perfect for the way I play :(

There is no extoic boots in game at all, so I wouldn't count on that lol.
 
How'd you get the hand cannon. Please tell me.

Exotic Weapon Bounty. It was terrible... 4 different levels that started enough (Complete the Summoning Pit strike), then it ended with getting 500 points in void weapon kills in crucible, with deaths taking away from the total (5 pts per kill, -2 pts per death). Then I had to kill Xyon or whoever in the Level 26 Epic strike (which was a lvl 26 version of the Summoning Pits on hard)... Compared to the other exotic bounty (500 pts with a machine gun, which amounted to 15 minutes at YOU'VE AWOKEN THE HIVE), it was ridiculous

Full Auto Scout Rifle? I'm trying to imagine that now.

When do new shaders show up in the shop? I feel like I've had the same ones all week, but the emblems keep refreshing.

Never. I'm not joking. Shaders don't refresh in the shop only emblems. You get other shaders either as a drop in Crucible (which to me have always had orange in them in soome way. Two Gilgamsh, Two Achilles, One Beowulf so far) or from raids. You can also get them in the packs you get from ranking up your cryptarch.

Got the Heart of the Praxic Fire chest from my exotic engram which I'm happy enough with, only shame is that it increases fusion rifle ammo rather than an auto rifle (but I don't think either of the warlock chests do that anyway).

Xur didn't bring anything for Warlock :(

Buy an exotic chest plate engram. I did that, but unfortunately it was for the Warlock class and I'm a Titan. At least it gives you a chance is the way I see it and the motes of light aren't used for anything else aside from bonds, marks, and cloaks.

Is it worth going into the Raid with a non-legendary/exotic primary weapon? I have an exotic shotgun and a legendary machine gun, and all of my armour is exotic/legendary. Will I hold my group back?

Do you know where I can get motes from. I need 2 more to be at 23...

How many shards do you get for breaking down exotic armor?

Titan helm is nice, but I play defender so it's really no use for me. Want to buy the engram and break it down to mats too lol.

Edit: looks like 3, bought the engram and got Hunter armor

I thought elem damage didn't come on primaries? Must be a raid only item

re posting:

Two questions:

Does the Helium Coil farming trick on the Moon really work?

I already hit the weekly cap of 100 for Van marks. Can I keep collecting them for my inventory or am I SOL and I cant collect anymore until Tuesday?

If you're at level 20+ then just continuously gain xp. You gain a mote of light every time you gain enough xp. You can check your progress to your next mote of light by clicking the start button and placing your marker over your level 20 spot.

Hold the trigger down and it fires a bit faster than the usual scout rifle, it's not THAT fast hah!
Aw that sounds disappointing.


Also is anyone up for doing the Nightfall with their shiny new Xur equipment?

PSN: Contramann for anyone who wants to give is a try.

Marks are capped to 100 a week for Vanguard/Crucible marks

I don't know what helium trick you're talking about. You can farm up a shitload naturally once you have the material bonus unlocked for the moon. Takes like <30 minutes to get 50 or more, and that's being lazy and doing patrols, not focusing solely on chests/resource nodes.
 
Good morning folks.

Give me the deets on Xur. I'm at work and I won't be able to play until lunch time.

Depends on your class, but fairly underwhelming all around gear wise (one class has the exact same item as last week). Weapon is an exotic rocket launcher for 17 coins. And a lot of people are getting screwed by the exotic emblem (it'll be exotic, but a good chance not for the class you want). And you missed your chance to buy a Strange Coin for 2500 glimmer
 
How does the Xur spawn work?
I'm in Scotland (2 PM) and there is no sign of him where it was the last time, but still I hear some of you did found him, is tied to the local time I guess?
