Just started like 2 weeks ago. Been enjoying the game so far but yesterday was the first day I had a real lovely time in PvP. I was just getting my rear end kicked by melee and melee abilities. People were just one shotting me in the face with what seemed like a basic melee attack, was getting crushed by flaming hammers, getting one-shot shield bashed and things like that. I was doing great with the Risk Runner two days ago and yesterday it felt like I could barely do damage. I am sure I was just having a bad day but drat did that take all of the steam out of me. I know weapons play a huge aspect of it, but since I am a new player my arsenal is rather limited. Anyone have any tips on what I can do to not get crushed? I am playing a void hunter, which I think is not helping much either.

Samopsa posted:1) play more so you get more stuff and recognize what the gently caress is going on Getting stuff for losing is rather nice, it takes a lot of the stress off the matches. Does the stats on my gear matter a lot for PvP? I like having INT for PvE, but I feel like grenades are generally more important/useful for PvP so I would spec that way if stats do matter.

Are there any decent easy to get weapons? I got the Risk Runner and the Rat King but the purples I have feel a little lack-luster. I've been trying to do the quest (I forget the name of it) where I have to get scout rifles, but since I got it 4 days ago I have not seen a single scout rifle drop. Is the reward for that quest any good?

Samopsa posted:do challenges (the golden icons on the destination screen), finish strikes/crucible/gambit matches, finish bounties, do the imperial chest quests Good to know  Orv posted:IIRC that ends up in MIDA which is pretty much the second best scout before perks are considered and still easily top 5 after that. YMMV depending on what you like in a scout RPM but it's an extremely solid gun. I normally like full-auto for my kinetic slot, but I've been getting my world rocked in PvP by the MIDA. So I feel like it will probably be a good thing to try to get. Just need to get lucky and get some scout guns to drop...

GoneWithTheTornado posted:Black armory stuff is generally at least descent, of particular interest are the pulse rifle, hand cannon, and especially the machine gun. Also check a guide for the menagerie loot system, good stuff can be gotten that way as well. All the exotics take a bit of work to get and can feel like a slog depending on your mood. Ace of spades is a cool hand cannon but it requires forsaken if you don’t have it, and one of the steps require pvp hand cannon headshot kills which can be kinda yikes depending on how you feel about pvp. A lot of exotics are just very rare drops, keep in mind. Ah seems like a bunch of options. I will look into these when I get home, thank you. Dr. Fishopolis posted:Can't you just pull 5 blue scouts from collections and mulch them for that step? If not, you could just run Menagerie for the guaranteed drop. Not sure what you mean by collections  . The Menagerie seems like a good place to get loot, I definitely need to look into what it is about.SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Menagerie lets you keep getting the same gun so you can try to get a best roll. I play a lot of Warframe, is he kind of like Baro Ki'Teer? Baro is a merchant that comes by every 2 weeks to sell rare gear, he is pretty vital for getting good stuff.

Snuffman posted:On your character screen up at the top is collections. What an interesting mechanic. Can't wait to gently caress around with it when I get home to see what I can get. Another random question, do I need to be wearing the highest level items in order to get higher level drops or does just having them in my inventory enough?

I had the Thunderlord drop for me yesterday, fells like I won the lotto. This gun is crazy, shame it blows throw ammo like it's nothing. I've been going back in forth on what legendary I should use. I want it to be one of the hard hitting sniper like guns, so it is between either Leviathan's Breath or Borealis. Borealis is the only exotic sniper I have and people seem to poo poo on it, I have not done damage tests to see which of those 2 do more damage. The other thing is, energy ammo is more plentiful than the heavy ammo. So I can theoretically use it more.

Glenn Quebec posted:I got the...whatever the void sword exotic is. It's pretty rad. Color me jealous, swords are stupid fun. SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Borealis is the best at what it does, which is match game. The high level nightfalls have that so the weapon should have a place. But it's also not hard to coordinate gear to cover shields without it Good to know that it is not useless. I enjoy using sniper rifles, popping off dangerous enemies from a distance feels amazing. The Leviathan carving a path of carnage is also pretty amazing, guess I will need to play with them both and see which one is more sustainable. The Jumpoff posted:These posts got me thinking about all the exotics in the game and how i love basically all of them just for what they are.  I just started playing a few weeks ago and the game's gun-play just feels so good. The exotics that I have gotten so far are a blast and makes me thing of combat situations differently.

I was looking through my collection yesterday and realized that some of the amor sets I've gotten over time have like set bonuses. I would make them, but my guy looks  right now. Is it worth sacrificing all of my current gear (minus the exotic boots) to make one of these Hunter sets? Also, which of these sets would you all suggest?

Draxion posted:The Gambit Prime ones? Their bonuses only work inside that game mode, but if you play it a lot reaper is good generally, invader is good if you do a lot of that. Collector gives you a special blocker at 20 motes. No, but that is good to know. Some pieces have like "Mobile Hunter" and "Heavy Hunter" on them in the description.

So I got the Graviton Lance yesterday. It is pretty fun, but I don't think I am going to replace my Leviathan for it. What load outs do you guys usually run? I normally run with this kind of set up: Kinetic: Halfdan-D or Toil and Trouble Energy: Last Perdition or Risk Runner Heavy: Leviathan's Breath or Zenobia-D I do sub in others from time-to-time but that is generally it. The Halfdan-D has treated me well for a very long time now, it is kind of my favorite thing to use.

Grinding for the Sleeper Stimulant is kind of annoying, but I really want that gun. I've kind of fallen in love with linear fusion rifles and this seems like the king poo poo of them. It's a shame I will probably never get the catalyst because it requires a raid or something.

Anyone else loving the Claw of the Wolf in PvP? It melts people and is like a laser beam. In PvE it does not feel great. Doesn't seem to do enough damage, but it might be because I got bad rolls on it's traits.

I like my energy slot for special weapons though. Yeah, now my kinetic is a shotgun. Which is fine but yeah... In order to get the Handcannon mission in PvP done I was using my Crimson, and I am not gonna lie, it was pretty nice. I need to bite the bullet and just grind out the Recluse. I watched some videos of people using it and that poo poo does not seem fair.

Trying to solo the last boss of the Thorn quest made me want to punch a hole in my monitor. That bullet spam he does in his final phase is such bullshit. As a hunter it feels impossible, which makes me want to complete it so much more. Need to take another crack at it tonight.

AnEdgelord posted:Im a weirdo who likes Eris but thats mostly because shes an actual character with a distinct backstory and clear motivations which makes her the best written character in the whole series Writing good characters is probably a very hard thing for video game creators that are on large teams. For Indies, they really only have themselves to answer to when it comes to timeline, budgets and game length. I am sure there are people on the Bungie staff that REALLY would have loved to flesh out Failsafe more to give her/it a deeper and richer story, but they have many other factors that prevent it. Which is a shame, interesting and meaningful characters add a level of depth, appreciation and emotional connection that many games can only dream of. I like Failsafe, she has the right amount of snarky in my opinion. Is it ever explained why she has two voices?
