GAF I need some advice. I just got 3 exotic bounties and have no idea what's hidden behind them. Last time I took a shot in the dark it ended up being a hand cannon that I didn't want. I'll be happy with an auto rifle but a pulse would be best. So here's the names. Toland's legacy, A light In the dark and A dubious task. Which one should I choose?

Toland's Legacy is a pulse rifle. But's a nine part bounty.

You play on PS4? Always looking to add PvP players to my list.

Same here, add Bizazedo por favor. Rugioh and I had some fun last night, platonically, in zee PvP and always looking for more.

As for Xur...

I want that Titan Helm, but the Superman version of Fist of Havoc doesn't seem as good for PvP? Ugh.

Does it have a Defender variant?

Tolands legacy is Bad Juju (pulse rifle). Be prepared for some crazy bounties though (like playing 25 strikes for ONE of the 9...)

Toland's Legacy - Bad Juju Pulse Rifle

A Light in the Dark - Thorn Hand Cannon
 
Had a good 4-game streak on Crucible.

Been grinding for bad juju exotic weapon bounty and I get another exotic of the same weapon type off a drop? Motherfucker what's better bad juju or red death?

you would have to compare the upgrade paths

damage numbers arent different enough to pick the higher one
 
Man the next OT title should be "Destiny GRINDING" I didn't know you had to spend your days, weeks, and months in Destiny just to be respectable. I like the game, but got damn.

that 15 round bad juju clip is really hindering it's potential. got helm of inmost light from xur today too so at least one of my yellows isn't semi gimp

Anyone want to help me with last part of my exotic bounty need to kill xyor in level 26 of the summoning pits without killing phogoth
 
Light in the Dark is Thorn, which I would not recommend. 6 round chamber and a slow reload.

NO KIDDING... Holy hell, enemies literally recharge their shields while I'm reloading... There's an unlock so it reloads faster, but the default speed is going to get people killed...

25 strikes IMO is nowhere as bad as getting 500 void kills in crucible.

I've come to acknowledge Exotic Bounties as more than one-day ordeals. Also, we don't have Exotic Bounties for exotic armor?

For me the Death From Above seemed buggy when I used it in PvE or PvP. So many times I was primed to Superman down but instead it switched to the regular Fist of Havoc and even worse shot me straight down and not forward like usual.

Maybe it was something I was doing wrong?

Does Death From Above require a certain height of time in the air to work?

Unique upgrade: RECKLESSNESS - Provides Death from Above and Headstrong for Fist of Havoc.

That's awesome. I can dig how it looks.

Could you explain what Death from Above, Headstrong, and Fist of Havoc is? I only played a Titan once in beta so I don't remember much, and I main a Warlock.
 
I bought it, and got Titan :( I'm a Warlock. Disappointment!

How do you guys get Exotic weapon bounties? I've never seen one and I've done loads of regular bounties.

They just randomly pop up if you turn in regular bounties, I only got mine today and I've been doing bounties every day since launch. It might help to turn them in 5 at a time, but I can't confirm that's why I got it.
 
Thanks guys! Gone with Toland's Legacy since I've been waiting on an exotic pulse rifle plus I'm pretty into running the strikes anyway. I don't mind the bounty being long if it's for the weapon I'm after.

The void kills weren't bad at all for me (it was like 12 matches max). Then again, my void weapon was the fusion rifle, so I was easily getting 35-50 points a game

What do Death from Above and Headstrong even mean or do?

Death from above means you can jump and aim your fist of havoc at enemies below you. Headstrong increases the leap distance of fist of havoc

Fist of Havoc is the hulk smash move.

lol that was quick. Now only if they would also hotfix the numerous loot related problems in similar haste.

The fact they haven't said anything about it implies it's working as intended. So you're not meant to get purples from purples engrams unless you are really lucky. Like with blues.

FYI, did some patrols last night and it's nice they increased the public events. I think I did one per patrol session.

Yeah I stumbled into three of them in a row within 10 minutes on Earth. It was pretty weird. Never had it happen before.

So with Death From Above and Headstrong auto-equipped with that helmet, I can set the actual abilities in my subclass to something else to basically gain two extra abilities? Oh baby.

I finally got a legendary drop, an ok sniper rifle. That's cool but I don't snipe. I do a few bounties/missions and I get the exotic bounties to drop. I pick the shotgun (Invictive) one. Knock that out then do a few more strikes/bounties and get another exotic bounty to drop. Now I'm working on the bad juju. So to all my legendary-less, exotic-less former brethren just keep chugging you'll start to get lucky.

Oh nice. So even if they are unequipped on your skill tree, you still get them? That's actually pretty bad ass. Assuming then you can have a Fist of Havoc with ripple energy and death from above if you have this helmet equipped.

It's not 500 void kills, it's 500 points.

Take a Void Fusion Rifle and go wreck face. ADS, fight the recoil down, and you can one shot people out to hilarious range. It's also a wonderful counter for shotgun rushers - they'll die to the blast before they can get into range, which isn't true for most primary weapons. Just don't go around corners into them and you'll be fine.

being able to fly with fist of havoc is really good against vehicles, it saves you having to run up close and risk a (slower from the air) normal fist of havoc, you have a slight ability to steer the dive so it's great for pinpoint attacks.

They're both Titan Striker passives, Fist of Havoc is the Striker Super.
