Destiny - 9/9/14 (PS3/PS4/X360/XB1)

[Chrius]

Farmed a ton of Helium to ding 30 today!

[Gustave]

I think my arc fusion is the Dead Orbit one, but they were all random drops so results may vary.

Given the incoming randomness of Atheon this next week I'm probably gonna use Red Death/Foil/Hezen as my Atheon loadout. Red Death should be super helpful with the healing/speed reloads if we fall behind on Supplicants, Foil to assrape the oracles and Hezen for dat damage on Atheon himself.

Foil is good for Aethon too. At 30 with weapons of light its 15k DMG if you land all and you don't have to hit precision.

[Krandor]

I had actually noticed you using that yesterday and switched to it (had usually been using the 3rd one), and a sniper with absolutely zero recoil is damn entertaining.

Despite the low impact being able to dump 6 rounds very quickly more then makes up for it. Since I've spent most of the week leveling up primary slot exotics it's definitely been my go to in the special slot, and pretty much all I use there regardless unless I need a fusion rifle or Ice Breaker for a specific purpose.

[Serra]

Wow, that's impressive.. I think I was doing 18k a hit with maxed IB on precision hits with WoL.

[Mazmaz]

So people were telling me there's an easy way to do the 200 enemies in nightfall for pocket infinity, but I didn't really understand. Anyone wanna repeat?

Also, if you level up a legendary weapon and then dismantle, you get more energies yea?

[Serra]

If I understand it correctly, if you go in, get the Nightfall darkness (so you have the skull at the top of your screen next to your health), then go to an area with level 28 enemies, you can get it done without worrying about deaths.

And yes, you do. The catch is, it takes forever and a day to level them, so yeah.. Doesn't work with armor, strangely.

[Obsidian]

I don't know where you could do it on Earth, but the gist of it is, after hitting the Darkness zone of the Nightfall strike, any level 28 enemies you kill will count towards the bounty, whether they're part of the strike or not. For instance, if the nightfall were The Nexus, you could run up, hit the Darkness zone, then run back to the area behind where you spawned, just before the Ishtar Commons, where the end of the first Story mission is, and kill the level 28 mobs that spawn there for credit. Run away, let them respawn, repeat.

Yes, you get more energies from levelled-up Legendaries. I just hang onto them and equip them when I turn in bounties until they're capped, then I break them down.

Start the nightfall. Immediately turn around and drive through the area with devil walker event and into the building that leads to the patrol start area. The enemies in that area all count, as it is a story area. Then head to mothyards and up the hill into the satellite building more enemies in there. That exits to skywatch - head up the hill there into the garage looking building and go in there. then go to orbit and repeat. you can get the 200 kills in 4 runs of this

Also, if you level up a legendary weapon and then dismantle, you get more energies yea?

yep.

[Moss]

note: you do NOT have to hit the darkness zone. just head straight to the other "story" areas which will have high level enemies

Confirmed this yesterday when I completed the pocket infinity bounty.

[Mazmaz]

Shit Moss that's legit haha, thanks.

[Mazmaz]

PS. there's an area in the back of the Divide that you can do it too. Where the ship drops off the fallen general.

[Moss]

ah yeah, where the very first mission is. that might just slow you down though since I think you would still need 4 runs and that doesnt lead anywhere

[Kaslo]

So since I got my Titan to 26, anyone want to help run me through Nightfall and 28 Weekly tonight?

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I can

Also, anyone want to help me rush through the story on my Warlock?

[Arcana]

The ammount of zebra and caterpillar errors today is beyond the joke. Cant do any raids or instances without one of us being crapped out.

[Serra]

Not sure when these were added or even if they still exist in the game, but might be indicative of the future of exotics:

I've been trying to make a Fusion rifle gear build for the Vex(Till I get raid armor atleast) and have been having a bitch of a time finding any armor that has Fusion ammo or special ammo + stuff.

[Krandor]

There's no way to increase the ammo capacity on the Vex. It's limited ammo supply was the major issue before the nerf and made it unusable in alot of situations.

yeah that's probably how you increase def/light and att for using exotic gear in the level 32 stuff

Really? Cause gear that says "Carry more ammo for Fusion Rifles" works. With a Body piece that gives Fusion Rifle Ammo+ I get 210 Rounds with it. Without it, I get 164
