Logged in, got some bounties, did them, got experience, leveled up my rocket launcher as far as I'm willing to level it up (no ascendant anything), gonna do the same with my shotgun. Funny enough when I leveled up my Vanguard to level 3 they do indeed send you a random legendary. I got a legendary machine gun that does arc damage. So right now prior to going to the Raid I have in weapons:

1. Legendary scout rifle, exotic handcannon (fucking thorn :'(), rare handcannon and AR.
2. Legendary shotgun for void, legendary fusion for arc, rare fusion for solar
3. Legendary rocket launcher with void, legendary machine gun with arc, rare machine gun with solar.

If I can get a legendary special/heavy weapon that can do solar that'd be nice. Also I really want the legendary AR from Vanguard, Shadow price. Can anybody tell me if it's any good? I'll save up for it as I have nothing else to buy from vanguard, but if I can get an exotic AR that'd be better.
 
Same reason all the Crucible playlists kept dropping me into Bastion.

Because fuck you.

My playlist of terror is a First Light -> Bastion loop.

When I actually had to do the Invective bounty, I got First Light, First Light, Bastion. I was on suicide watch, but then Shores of Time came (love that map)... and FL again which I dominated because fuck you playlist.

Today was Twilight Gap 4 times in a row... which actually could be worse.
 
So I came back to the game after taking a week off and I've noticed hunters seem to have disappeared. Did they get nerfed to oblivion or something?
 
Really wish faction vendors didn't require crucible marks and would let me use vanguard marks. Really don't want to do anymore crucible.
 
What "raid gear" are you only getting through drops and not able to buy from a vendor?

Raid Gear refers to the armor dropped from the raid. Raid gear caps at 30 light instead of the 27? of normal legendaries. This puts it in the same league as exotics and is necessary for that last level. With normal legendaries and an exotic, the best you can do is 29.
 
Just got a legendary engram and got a legendary weapon finally! :D

...it's a freaking hand cannon tho. -_- "The Chance"

I guess it's better than the others I have I guess. :(
 
I still prefer my flame band from the Vanguard over anything the Speaker has. I think the warlocks got a bit hosed in his offerings. Some of those hunter capes look sweet.


The Exo source code skirt thing for titans looks awesome my exo is sporting it.

What's the best method to leveling up exotic guns? It takes forever holy shit, more than armor.

Best method is if you happen to have 3 characters at 20, do your bounties with gun equipped, throw it in the vault and do it on your other characters. Assuming you really want to get through that. I probably wouldn't have leveled up the others if I didn't get so many legendaries for other classes.

Can't you do bounties with the faction gear on and it will go towards your faction rep?

Rep yes, but you still need crucible marks to actually buy the items.
 
Well well.

After dozens of useless legendary drops I actually got a weapon I can use.

The Comedian Shotgun.

But judging the amount of time it will take forever to actually get some great gear.

How in the world do you guys handle it?
Stop subjecting yourself to random drops. Strikes, bounties and patrols, buy legendary gear from the tower with your earnings, which arent random. You can easily fully equip yourself in legendary/exotics in 1-2 weeks without ever worrying about one single random drop.

Drops are meant to be a bonus, but for some reason some people obsess over them like they are the entire point of the game.

They're playing it wrong.

Turn in bounties with it equipped. Besides that... I believe strike playlist gives general XP at the end but I'm not sure. Do patrol missions, get insane amounts of kills with the weapon... Yeah exotics take a really long time. The buff from Nightfall that increases XP yields and also the grimoire boost for reaching Rank 2 with a weapon type also helps a little.

You reach rank 2 by getting 5k kills if its a primary type, 2.5k if it's special or 1k if it's heavy. After reaching rank 2, all weapons of that type will gain extra experience on your account.
 
So has anybody killed the Devil Walker during Patrol and had it count towards the Queen's bounty?

Seems like people are getting mixed results.
 
I just finished a level 22 strike. On my team was a random lvl 26 player. He didn't revive anyone the entire game and at the end of the strike had 40 kills, me and other guy had 100~ each..

Is that a thing? Intentionally be a lazy ass during strikes for some reason? He just hung back the whole time..
He probably had the bounty for not dying in a strike.

There are no mixed results. It works any way you do it. You just have to deal the final blow every time.

I did it in patrol alone 3 times and got the bounty completed.

I see, thanks. I guess that's why it's taking forever to level up this here handgun, cuz I've never used that crap before. Gonna take forever to level up the Invective too. Wish shotguns weren't so utterly useless in PVE. I'm tired of these idiotic video game shotguns that lose all potency after three meters.

People say you have to get the final shot in, but my first one from a public event wasn't actually killed by me and counted. But it does seem like the most consistent way is to get the last shot in.

However, if you just go to the Strike area and kill that one, it's instanced, only you are there(unless you have a fireteam) and it will definitely count(if you get the final shot, which you will if you're alone).

Edit: I mean go to the strike area in patrol, not actually in the strike. The Devil Walker still spawns there in patrol.
 
That's odd. I log In and just now get th achievements for having an exotic item and maxing vanguard points for a week. I did these both last week.

I did, but I ran up and blade danced the thing probably stealing the kill in the process from the other 4 goons lingering about.

Then I ran through the next two zones and killed the walker where it appears during the strike. Went to orbit, ran back and and killed it again.

bounty done.
