The first third of red war is pretty great, the middle third is really aimless outside the almighty mission and the last third is godawful except the very last mission

It’s kind of confusing because the rule of thumb for which guns and armor to save is backwards. For guns a purple weapon with good perks is definitely worth saving whereas exotics can be freely sharded and repulled. Meanwhile legendary armor pieces get replaced faster than you can blink, while exotic armor with good perks is worth its weight in gold and should never be scrapped

Bleck posted:Lose as in you get different rolls, or lose as in you don't get any rolls at all? All exotic armor pieces have a “base” set of perks that you can see in your collections tab, and if you pull the armor from there it will always have those and only those perks. Exotic armor you find randomly in the world has different randomly rolled perks and can sometimes be much much better than the baseline. note: I’m not sure how armor 2.0 changed this if at all

Willie Tomg posted:I mean idgaf about lore, I just wanna shoot stuff outside of like, strikes and whatever and I don't particularly care about gambits or the crucible. Are they at least good shooting gallery fodder or should I stick to my "camping public events" meta that's gotten me this far? They tend towards the easier side of things in general but there’s some very good set pieces throughout the campaigns

Osiris is easily the most skippable of all the campaigns; it has zero impact on the plot for any of the other expansions, Mercury is fun for all of 5 minutes before you’ve seen its entirety, and the two best missions get recycled as strikes so you still see that content anyway

Duodecimal posted:What I find interesting/ annoying is that the only thing you know about the Collapse is that it was so intensely catastrophic that everyone in the Golden Age with first-hand experience of it was annihilated. There is no extant account of what actually happened. We know a couple of things, like the fact that when the battle was lost Rasputin calculated that the traveler would most likely flee, and turned its weapons on it shortly before being disconnected

Peewi posted:Is that a thing they did with Forsaken? Sort of. Forsaken Spoilers: The awoken secretly have small fortresses in tiny bubbles of space time sealed off from the outside, where they keep their weapons, research, schools, etc. In forsaken the endgame area was the Dreaming City, their most sacred of these little micro universes. It was first revealed in the raid that the creature that helped build it, a wish granting space dragon named riven, had been Taken. When the fireteam of guardians finally kill riven it grants one last wish, based on the desire of the guardians to “save” the city (and depending on your interpretation of guardian motivations, the wish to grind for new gear) which ended up releasing the taken on the entire city. So over the next three weeks guardians fought the scorn, taken, and the hive, with each week the taken blights spreading more and more across the city. In the final week, they unlocked the Shattered Throne, a 3 man dungeon (harder than a strike not quite as intense as a raid) and were able to kill the main baddie, Dul Incaru. Unfortunately there was another catch to Riven’s last wish. After killing Dul Incaru the entire city and all the awoken within it got trapped in a 3 week long groundhogs day esque curse. Every three weeks the events play out the same but with the awoken remembering everything that happened. Guardians could do things differently each week because of Light, but the awoken are trapped there unable to change their actions despite their memories of each week. e: anyway all of this was stuff that didn’t happen until after the raid launched and we know we have a similar dungeon to Shattered Throne coming up for shadowkeep

Jinnigan posted:I did The Red War, which feels like the really important piece of story to explain "why things are the way they are now." I know that I could just buy Shadowkeep and jump into the new content. However my question is how 'core' are the other campaigns to the storyline? Will I be real confused and context-less (or have the other campaigns spoiled) if I haven't played Warmind or any of the Forsaken stuff? CoO and Warmind are incredibly skippable and have no real plot developments, Forsaken is worth playing

Sekenr posted:There is also a golden age era AI that originally was set up to spy on awoken colony ship but somehow managed to integrate itself into that hosed up reality that Mara inhabits and is steering the events to repeat 3 week cycle because ending it with Riven's death would somehow doom humanity. It also says in the lore book that if you reach LL 999 and solo kill Dul Incaru you will get the "true ending" for dreaming city All of this is fake news spread by the low-energy Savathun and her failing Hive

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:What’s the difference between gambit and gambit prime? The content of the mode is still deposit motes, kill boss, invade enemy team Gambit prime then has armor sets that you grind up which give you bonuses to certain roles in the gambit prime match (invader, guy who kills taken, guy who deposits lots of motes, etc.) and the only way to get higher tiers of the armor and the higher tier benefits was to play the worst matchmaking mode in history: Reckoning Gambit Prime does have good guns that now drop from normal matches, and some people prefer the 1 long round format, but there’s a reason drifters season was the low point of last year

I don't want to be a burden in my first raid and waste everyone's time. watch a YouTube video or read a good guide, don’t join any groups that say KWTD in the title, and just let them know it’s your first time when you join and someone will usually be happy to help you learn

Also: for any people doing raids for the first time I highly recommend Scourge of the Past. Not only is it quick and relatively easy, but most of the fights have a really simple job for a newbie. The first fight you stand on a roof and shoot vandals while someone else reads a map, the second chest is a sparrow obstacle course, the third chest you just run around killing fallen and then shoot a big servitor when someone tells you to, and then you’re at the final fight which is the only one you really have to learn.

The best use of finishers is as Commander Titans; melee the enemy to apply the sticky effect, then roundhouse kick them back into their friends and watch them explode in a shower of purple before they hit the ground

Ynglaur posted:Thanks. How do I get mods? Banshee in the tower is always offering a rotating random weapon mod and armor mod, which you can buy with mod components. You can get mod components by completing his daily bounties. You can also go see whatever the Black Armory exo lady’s name is; she offers a blind random black armory weapon mod. These are mods that generally are more specific/niche but have some really strong effects (things like increasing the rampage perk duration, increasing the damage bonus from the surrounded perk, etc.) Note that although you can buy as many mods as you want from her, the component cost goes up each time per day, so it’s almost never worth getting more than one at a time. She also sells you mod components directly, costing weapon parts and legendary shards. I’m not sure whether or not you need Forsaken to have access to her inventory

Ravenfood posted:Is field prep really that good? I've been using autoloading holster instead. The core damage combo is spike grenades/hard launch/full court. The second perk is really just personal preference. Field prep is just generally good but other good options are rangefinder, threat detector, rampage, and probably another couple that I’m forgetting.

Draxion posted:I just use a moon sword (because it's got a climbing pick strapped to the top) with whirlwind strikes and the ammo refund thing, is there a better perk setup? It doesn't feel like there's so many sword perks that it's especially tricky to find a particular one. Black armory sword could roll with surrounded which combined with a surrounded mod could put out insane damage numbers but idk how well it survived the nerfs to all the damage perks. The menagerie titan heavy sword can roll a cool perk where if you use a heavy attack that spends the last of your ammo it does an absolute monstrous amount of damage
