I wonder if they will wipe tokens when the event ends.

It's in the FAQ somewhere- after the event ends you have 1 week to turn in leftover tokens and claim the winning weapon, they do get wiped/made useless somehow on the reset after that.

These factions are an event? They're not going to be permanent like D1? I didn't pay too much attention to the update blog as I assumed they were just bringing them back and when everyone was saying, "we have to pick the one that wins or we don't get the gun" (yeah I know you can get it for 50k if you don't).

I figured the competition was a weekly thing or something and if Dead Orbit or whoever was always winning they'd scale up the other factions so it rotates through them somewhat.

So these dudes are gone in a few weeks or what?

Looks like it. I'd expect it to recur monthly or however long it takes to cycle through all the 1-week special events they end up introducing.

My prediction is two weekly events, IB and faction week. So they have a week of downtime between and that means both run every month.

With schedule adjustments for the holiday events they almost certainly have set up already.

Yes. Ugh.

FWC energy scout Pleiades Corrector seems like maybe a winner?

*Lightweight
*HCR
*Rampage

200rpm so the impact is a little low. Allows the HCR to kick tho. Reticle moves up and to the side when firing but resets really fast and doesn't take too much to control it when spamming. Handling is breezy.

If you play Hunter, the Suros sidearms coupled with the Mechaneer's Tricksleeves make for a REALLY fast-firing experience. Tricksleeves give you a crazy buff to reload and handling speeds, and Suros FullAuto sidearm like Dead Man Walking already is quite fast.

You can very efficiently discharge 16 rounds (Dead Man walking) in someone's face, and with a blink-and-you'll-miss-it-reload then immediately dump out 16 more.

I totally thought they were garbage, but figured that I'd get the Raiden's vest pretty soon after the game launched, so I took a chance when getting them from Sloane.

I think other factions can still buy the weapon, just at 50k glims, which im pretty sure is gonna happen (The NM sidearm costing the manybucks because NM loses and is a stinky faction boooooo)

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Waffle House posted:

Yes, anyone can buy the weapon of the faction that wins the faction war

So if NM wins you can buy it.

I don't think they'll win.

Unicorns are metal. Gundanium alloy to be exact...

So the new nightfall is:

Timewarp: zero hour - The mission timer cannot be extended
Torrent - Power erupts from within. Your abilities recharge much faster. Use them to shatter your foes.

Is this as fun as it looks or is it just a steaming pile of garbage? On a side note, I'm all sorts of miffed that bungo is promoting skipping content. This most recent nightfall timer is just loving infuriating. Adding content and then telling people to ignore is is dumb and awful and anybody who likes it should feel bad.

The Hakke Halfdan-D is the best for war rig. Slowest Rof, it's in its own class, and still gets 4 rounds on each proc. Also has outlaw if you ever do have to actually reload.

Oh yeah. I was killing you.
So we killed Calus earlier this afternoon except we didn't kill him. We two phased him, but got him to the burn phase right as the buff on the last platform ran out. He then bugged out and went immune while doing his shield/burn thing and we wiped because we couldn't damage him.

We only got two more attempts in, couldn't kill him and the group ended I think. I feel pretty bad for the people in the raid who hadn't killed him before.
