Good Crucible run, guys. Thanks to DY going Super Saiyan with that MIDA I am now part of the 0.1% that has the Supremacy trophy. Everything in this year's Record Book is complete for the Crucible too, except for Iron Banner & Trials, which haven't happened yet.
Apparently I was sitting on two Matador 64s that whole time too, I can't wait to take it for a spin next time.

dope games man. i haven't actually tried in crucible for months so it was awesome picking up one of my favorite weapons and dominating again. i haven't used a gunslinger/mida/shotgun combo since ttk dropped. i've been almost full troll in crucible outside of iron banner
It was so OP that it made Bungie rethink pulse rifle archetypes altogether. There used to not be 'low impact' pulse rifles at all other than the bad juju (and the bad juju was also once one of the worst exotic weapons in the game ). But the hopscotch pilgrim was the first legendary primary that the community ever grinded for. It basically brought out a weapon-wide rework which led to the meta of exotic handcannons outright steamrolling everything in sight. Darkest timeline type shit. Thorns two shotting people from across the map, Last Word with a .4 second time to kill, Hawkmoon was basically a sniper rifle.
Anyways, after TTK returning balance to the force more or less, pulse rifles came back pretty strong and handcannons, while still solid, were no longer the fist of god.
Couple of weapons rebalances later.... reilo legit has a god roll Hopscotch Pilgrim that people don't realize that they should be terrified of yet.

Heads up - there are a couple of legit god rolls on new weapons at the Vanguard Quartermaster in the Tower (the guy in the same building as Future War Cult & Dead Orbit).
The Seventh Sense sniper has: Ambush Scope, Spray and Play, Snapshot/Quickdraw, and Firefly.
The How Dare You hand cannon has: Quickdraw, Icarus, Hammer Forged/Explosive Rounds, and Luck in the Chamber
Even the Angel's Advocate scout rifle's not bad: Outlaw, Explosive Rounds and Reactive Reload

By Tea Go To PostThose games made me realize what I'm missing by doing Crucible solo.Yeah, it's so much better having someone calling out what's going on and watching your back.
I played like ass but it was all in my head cause I was desperately trying to get that Crucible Quest completed that required me to use a Hand Cannon, which threw me off entire night. I think I feel most comfortable with my AR (Suros Regime), but I am going to give the Hopscotch PR an honest try to see what it can do.
DY's run at the end of the night was something else wtf. 5+, 5+, 9+ (!!), 3+, 6+ (!!) KD ratios in Supremacy all around. Fucking Steph Curry pull up in your face 40 foot three shit.
Oh and the game dropped two (yes, 2) Hopscotch PRs on me that made DY hate himself haha. I managed to level it all the way up. Gotta mess with which scope I like though:
Using SureShot IS and Smallbore.

You have no idea the things I could do with that max stability roll you got. I mean okay, I'd probably do about the same, but I'd feel really good about it.
I can't complain though, the Matador I landed is boss. The range is really nice. This is the first shotgun I've ever found viable in PvE, I'm two-shotting captains.
By Tea Go To PostI'm down for more shenanigans tonight.
You know I'll be on. I might flip back to warlock. I love NIghtstalker but in the end there may be no substitution for those extra 3-5 kills you get from stormtrance for keeping that K:D positive.
By Tea Go To PostTop 1% assists. Believe that. Supremacy is going to raise my rank heavily.Same. I get 6.8 assists per match, which makes me feel a certain way that everyone else is eating off me but I don't get the kills.
Let people have self ressing in elimination bungie. Also this is easily the worst fucking gametype. Fuck quests.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostI thought they just stopped dropping past a certain level. It was a bug!?
It only happened once you maxed out the grimoire for that enemy
so it took a lot of people a while to do that
By reilo Go To PostWe still doing the blind raid?
just realized its got a 360 light level minimum
thats er...not sure I can no life to get there this week, would probably take some work during the weekend to do it tbh, but I may be overestimating how much work I have to do
By reilo Go To Post360 minimum? Yea, no way. Is anyone even above 340 among us?
The only people already above 360 are the no lifers/streamers who edged all their factions & stockpiled heavy ammo synths to donate for 6 months...and then did strikes & Crucible constantly since the game hit. I'm sure more will hit it by Friday, but probably not us.

By reilo Go To PostDY, LFK, you playing tonight?Ya, I'll be on.
lmao
I finally beat the weapon master quest and all it gives you back is Gunsmith re and silver dust wtf

By reilo Go To PostI've been garbo since RoI release. Not sure what it is. Need to get out of my own head.
It's because DY & Tea have higher ELO, so you & I are playing tougher competition than we're used to.
Looking through Destinytracker.... Honestly, I'm not sure Khepri's Sting is supposed to be as powerful as it is.
Being able to cloak and batman people from above doorways is jacked up. Being able to cause damage over time with a normal melee AS WELL AS throwing knive w/ burn is also jacked up. Frontstab while cloaked being an instant kill even against people mid-super is jacked up.
Way too many perks that provide bonuses from outside of your normal subclass.

Good times...using Queenbreaker's Bow with a fireteam is fun as hell.
Also...Khvostov get! Props to Tea for figuring out where the parts were.
That's nuts...that gives so much good stuff to a Gunslinger. I'm guessing more people don't use it because:
A) Landing throwing knives takes skill and Nightstalker melee timing is weird so most don't build their game around it.
B) They're using Knucklehead Radar, Radiant Dance Machines, Bones of Eao or Graviton Forfeit instead, which give more obvious key bonuses.

I think the best way to describe it is to say that its the only exotic that provides key abilities of one subclass to another. For example, if Stormcallers were granted the scorch melee or energy drain bonuses to go along with their insane melee range. Or if Defender Titans suddenly had the ability to shoulder charge added to their Force Barrier. That's kinda what Khepri's Sting does for gunslingers.
Bladedancers only run quickdraw because its a goat-tier perk, the cloaking abilities are all really good - they just don't trump anything else in their talent tree. Backstab is always gonna be chosen over the invis blink strike. Arc Blade regen will always be picked over the cloak toggle. So I don't really think most get a chance to see how strong those abilities are normally. Hell, most nightstalkers have no clue how to take advantage of their cloak ability in PvP.
Its dirty as hell.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Posttrials is gonna suck with that shitIt got to the point where I was just shaking my head. The first time I came out of a cloak with a golden gun I wanted to put my controller down.
Then I started noticing all the other shit I was able to do. I'd hit a corner, cloak myself, then triple jump/camp above a doorway with a shotgun. I'd cloak then lob a tripmine right ahead of a whole group. Hit someone with a DoT throwing knife then cloak and chase. Frontstab was winning me fights again.
It makes no sense to me that they'd bring shit back and make it stronger.
Just need a reliable high impact hand cannon or scout and 9-0 will be a breeze.
Got my Khvostov and Iron Gjallarhorn. Never had the original Gjallarhorn so I can't compare them but it seems pretty awesome from what I've seen.
I'm ready. Juju does work but since I got a cryptic with third eye its been doing work. Prefer prs for smaller maps tho.
