What's the deal with this Telesto gun anyway? Why is there a list 100 miles long of past game-breaking bugs involving this gun?

Those orbs seem to wreak havoc on the engine based on what they can attach to and how it reacts.

It creates a bunch of interactable objects, and there are a bunch of things that can happen when objects interact, with new things being added on a regular basis.

I'm stuck on the Wishender exotic quest. Beat the Shattered Throne dungeon a while ago, now I'm at the step where you have a big "???" quest on Tangled Shore that I can't seem to beat solo (three giant enemies in a circular arena at the end), but people can only join my fireteam if they're on the exact same step of this quest. Is anyone else on this step who can help me out?

I'm going to post some LFGs in the Serious Overchill Discord or Xbox Destiny hub later, but if anyone here can help that would be appreciated.

I beat it by cheeseing awfully and boringly. Explore the very edge of the arena, there are spots where you can hide behind some geometry, peep out to plink at enemies and hide to heal up, it takes a long time but its doable. Also, let me know for the shattered throne part, I still didnt finish it.

What do you mean? You don't get this quest step until after you've already beaten Shattered Throne dungeon.

Once you've done the ??? step (I also remember needing to cheese this bit quite strongly - I think I did it with Karnsteins and Crimson so I could heal up damage quickly), you need to head back into the Shattered Throne to do a few side objectives. The only tricky one is during the Ogre fight. You don't actually need to finish the final dungeon boss though.

You don’t need to complete the entire raid, you can join at an Atheon checkpoint and still get it

ten atheon kills and no vex yet. I forget what they said the probability was, I know it increases each time you don't get it to drop. as I recall I think you hit 50% cumulative probability at around 10-15

32 Atheon kills and still no Vex.

The probability is estimated at 3-5%, and there doesn't appear to be bad luck protection to increase that over time.

Thanks for this tip, it helps quite a bit. Haven't beaten the fight yet (just tried 14 times back to back) but I'm getting close. If i can just prevent the bosses from blasting me off into the void, I'm sure i can do it! :black101:

I am a hunter main with a titan I’ve barely used. Am I better off using the third for another hunter so I can actually do poo poo with it? I don’t feel like leveling a character up.

There's not really a point to having two of the same class like people apparently did in D1. You can still powerlevel a warlock by moving high-level guns over, and that will pull up the PL of your armor drops.

If you plan on ever doing any GMs or raids, you would much rather have a warlock than a second hunter. Plus the supers all kick rear end and you can still get the awesome furry robes from this season and Splicer.

Duplicate classes don't help you level up, since you cannot get extra pinnacles on them. If you want to level up quickly, best practice is to run one of each class and do the powerful/pinnacles since weapons can be transferred between them to boost a characters light level and in turn increase the level of future Loot on that character.

It helps to do a sort of zig-zag order for your characters each week, so week 1: 1 2 3, week 2: 3 2 1, etc.

Yesss, got it after just 2 more tries last night. :) for some reason this also counted as 'complete a Forsaken Exotic quest' even though this questline is far from done.

Ace of Spades Catalyst: Get 500 kills, any way you want! That should help you get a good grasp of the weapon, and the catalyst will make it even better. And hey, if it took a while for the catalyst to drop we’ll retroactively add those kills to the count! Enjoy :)

Ticcu’s Divination Catalyst: Okay so go get some orbs and kills, and go kill 50 guardians in the crucible. Oh by the way, getting kills with the explosions from your arrows won’t count for some reason, so you need to aim down sight and ignore the main feature of this weapon. And you have to get the killing blow, obviously. Once you’re done with that come back and I’ll make you do it again, but 100 guardians this time. Also, just go do 200 of any activity, I don’t even give a gently caress if you use the bow for that. Oh but PvP doesn’t count for that poo poo unless you win.

I remember it being kills, not final blows. So you could just spray hip fire bolts instead. Did they patch that?

Was Ticcu's one of the catalysts that got boosted by season pass progress at the time? I forget which ones had that but it felt like once they were gone it became a motherfucker to complete them... Or did I make that up? Hmm...

I'm at 1329 7/8ths on three characters and I cannot get a kinetic pinnacle to drop. I've done like 3 weeks worth of pinnacles without a single kinetic one. Which means I'm gonna have to grind IB on three chars this week and hope that one of the 12 bounties gives me a kinetic.

Also I finally got the Cursebreaker title. gently caress whoever placed the eggs on the Keep of Honed Edges, since when was sword-flying a thing you actually have to do in this game.

Considering the last few sets of challenges were all low creativity "grind the game a lot" stuff I really hope they don't have any more coming. They'll probably all be "get a thousand sidearm kills in strikes" type bullshit.

I don’t know what character you run but I did that by thundercrashing to the island. The real fucker was that one in the far window behind the temple.

I got almost all my guardian kills for that catalyst from Gambit invasions, not crucible. Definitely get it done while it’s boosted either way though!

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t touched gambit yet this season but I will now that all the challenges are unlocked. Does the weekly crucible valor boost affect this as well
