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

[Krandor]

So despite what is advertised apparently level makes no real difference in Iron Banner.

[Obsidian]

Weapon damage does though. I only did one match though so I don't know if Discipline/Strength/Intellect matter or not.

[Krandor]

Dunno about that, people saying that blue fusions/shotguns will still one shot people.

[Dngnhack]

Can you do hard->normal and still get drops?

[Serif]

If you do Hard before Normal it will give you the Normal Drops during the Hard Mode, if that makes sense.

[Serra]

No, same as the weekly. If you do it on a harder difficulty, you get both drops at once.

[Gustave]

Edit- Beaten

[elison]

Except chests. Open chests on normal and get items, you won't get items from the hard mode chests etc.

[Gustave]

Just the one HM chest.

[Nightmarelord]

So anyone want the weekly on 28? Im at the boss solo style.

[Serif]

I will be available after 9 EST tonight, picked up a shift and closing.

Finally got to 28 early this morning after I got the last Shard I needed to finish upgrading my Exotic Head.

For Vault, I thought I heard something about Void damage being the most important, but what types of weapons should I be prepping? I have Sniper/Fusion/Rocket Launcher/Machine Gun and plan on upgrading them all at some point but would rather focus on the most important ones first.

Edit: Got my 4th Exotic Bounty last night/this morning. Just now got my 5th (turned in 1 Bounty). It's for Pocket Infinity so I'll do it in hopes of getting a different damage type than my last.

[Serra]

It can have different elements?

[Tomiko]

No idea, but I would think it can. I'll find out once I finish it. If not, then I'll just put it on my alt. At least it's an easy Bounty to finish.

Void void and more void. Gjallahorn/Truth are amazing for Gatekeeper portals so if you have either of those max it as soon as you can. For normal having completely maxed weapons isn't nearly as important as it is for hard mode so I'd probably focus on just doing the raid over and over getting used to the mechanics while trying for raid armor and weapons. Getting lucky and getting the void auto rifle and solar auto scout rifle is a huge bonus and those should be maxed ASAP. Personally, I had Patience and Time, Pocket Infinity and a legendary hand cannon maxed when I started normal. Since then I have aquired the Atheons Epilogue (void auto rifle), Vision of Confluence (solar auto scout rifle) and Corrective Measures (void machine gun). I maxed all those and I don't think I could do hard without them; they're huge.

Since you're 28 it'd be in your best interest to go look up how the relic shield works in VoG because you might at some point be in a group where you're the only 28 available and not taking any extra damage from enemies/dealing normal damage to enemies is fucking huge for the later parts of the raid. Usually the 28 is tasked with taking over the shield so even if that never happens to you, it never hurts to understand how to use it properly just in case.

TL:DR Don't really worry about the best weapons for normal as whatever you have should be adequate as long as you understand how to play an FPS and follow directions. Focus on getting experience with the raid and hopefully getting lucky with drops that are huge in hard mode.

Pretty sure it can only have solar.

[Nightmarelord]
