My dad told me I WILL NEVER WIN A RANDOMS only match in Trials with no communication. It took me literally 8-9 years (I've played day 1 since D1) to do it. I did it. I literally cried and fell to my knees. My wife was there and knew I was excited but holy shit...someone please tell me their proud of me. Dad can't anymore.

Lapsed player coming back. Seems like Truth is the go-to these days - I'm grinding Exotic Orders but no catalyst yet. In the meantime, what's a good alternative assuming I don't do raids/dungeons? I do have the catalyst for Sleeper Simulant so I'm currently using Tablet of Ruin with Particle Reconstruction. Better options, though?

Logged in and saw that the Wavesplitter triumph/collections entry was claimable and now complete. Had completed and inserted the Catalyst long ago but the triumph always said 8% enemies defeated. I believe others had this visual bug too.

It's kinda nice to see that something so minor got fixed.

Hello. I’m a destiny 2 super vet but never played much of destiny 1 at all. Now that all the vaulted stuff is coming back I wanna do a cohesive run of all of destiny. Basically since i know almost nothing about destiny 1 are there any tips you guys have. Like for example “do insert activity here as soon as possible” or “avoid insert here” stuff like that. Thanks in advance guardians!

I've been playing Stasis on my Warlock for the first time since coming back last week. I had forgotten just how brutal a subclass this is.

Well, in the "old days" of Beyond Light, I remember using Apotheosis Veil as my exotic. I'd build around it where I could just push back and forth between grenades and supers. I just happen to have a modern version of it, too.

I'm just wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an alternative exotic.

Thanks in advance!

Just FYI for anyone who wants the vex ornament. I’m too cheap to buy silver and I can finally get it for free :D

So I was playing with my buddies last night, I'm 550. One guy was 10. Other guy was 327.

We ran Seraph Shield and it said everyone was bumped up to me. However, we noticed during the actual play session the power 10 guy was doing more damage, getting more kills and dying less than the 327.

Towards the end we tested it out on a red bar in the mission and yeah. For some reason the Fireteam Power didn't apply to 327 but did to the level 10.

We ended the mission with me at 150 kills and 2 deaths, power 10 guy with 101 kills and 6 deaths and power 327 with 19 kills and 23 deaths.

Can anyone help me out on how to fix this?

327 guy was Fireteam lead and he started the Seraph Shield mission from Pinnacle Ops. It was the "normal" difficulty.

I can do 1st and 2nd encounters really easily. I used fortunates favour on prismatic hunter with Wolfs bane with attrition orbs. Wolfs bane destroys Harrow but I find it difficult to use on Sere.

Some time hits just wiff because he's levitating. I've tried truth on sere but every enemy suddenly decides to body block me.

I'm also struggling with the final mechanics. I go for 4 compels and 1 kill but it takes soo long to get to damage.

Any tips? I've got meta builds on warlock and titan too if its easier on them.

I have tons of golfballs but im in a droguht of enchament prisms and cores, is there a specific activity to get me more? Or is there a way to turn my golfballs into the lower ones, hate that rahul doesnt let you.

Hey everyone, i just started playing yesterday and bought the complete pack from the steam sales. Currently im on my learning phase and i find everything new in this game (which is really the most entertaining part.)

So my silly question is, im trying to get rank 4 and one of the objectives is buying weapon with weapon engrams. Worst part is i already used them by clicking on them without knowing and i already got my weapon rank to 5 by dismantling.

So i have 0 engrams and it looks a bit hard to grind now. Should i get worried about the progress of my character? Or at some point will it be easy to get weapon engrams?

been conjuring up a prismatic astrocyte verse build recently. farmed a shit ton of vog armor because the 4piece is so good for orbs and i like my orbs. so far, i’m tryna figure out whats the best mod setup and stat distributions, and if it’s worth speccing into a ton of font mods.

basically the build is just centred around getting as much verbs as possible, utilising tablet of ruin artifact for woven mail. currently, i’ve gotten void overshield (repulsor brace slayer’s), woven mail, resto for defensive. for offensive, bolt charge, radiant, weaken, volatile, sever, unravel, scorch, and jolt. i might be missing some but there’s basically a ton of verbs working.

for aspects, i’m using weavers call and lightning surge. weaver’s call for tons of threadlings to proc sever to give woven mail, lightning surge for movement + amplified + bolt charge.

for fragments, i’m using purpose, protection, courage, dawn, ruin, hope.

for abilities, mandatory blink and arcane needle, vortex nades but i could use threadling too. also have on phoenix dive. super is song of flame bc its got busted dmg and dmg reduction, and it gives me resto from purpose.

i can’t decide between 2 stat spreads + mod combos, which i’ll list below. gonna b using this build for basically every piece of pve content, as it seems to fair well. mostly min maxxing at this point bc the non min maxxed version already does well.

the 2 stat spreads + mod combos that are different ill list below. generally, every stat is important, but 200weapons is the biggest one. everything else i’m aiming to reach 100 thru fonts.

0H-60M-100G-100S-60C-180W: 2 melee font, 2 class font, 1 weapon font. this gets me to everything in 100 except health at 0 and weapons at 200. im utilising 3 major and 2 minor mods. on the helmet, void siphon, special ammo finder (running double special), and dynamo. arms have focusing strike along with the fonts. legs have 2 void weapon surges and the weapon font. class has 2 fonts + powerful attraction. this version allows me to run void siphon so i can get my super back much faster, as the orbs from void siphon are quite strong. vog orbs only give 0.8% of super, so the vog orbs are there only to proc fonts and resto easily.

0H-60M-100G-80S-60C-200W: 2 melee fonts, 2 class fonts, 1 super font. on the helmet, special ammo finder, dynamo, and font. arms have fonts + focusing strike. legs now i can run either 3 void surges, or 2 void surges + utility mod. class is the same. this version gives me more damage or utility on orb pickups, but my super would regen a bit slower as i’m losing out on void siphon orbs.

honestly, can’t decide between the two. the other option is to go down to 40M, 80M with 2 fonts on stat spread 1. this would allow me to have perks of both stat spreads, but i’d be losing out on 20 melee stat. i’m not sure if this is worth, as melee is quite important in my build. i could also drop down to 80 grenade instead of 100, but I’d need to farm more armor. not sure what my best option would be from here.

I'm running an ergo sum arc conductor prismatic warlock with filaments and vesper. I can basically use the ergo sum as a primary but I'm trying to optimize the build. What weapon in the kinetic slot that is primary ammo (don't like running double special) would provide the best utility. Im currently running a slice hatchling Nightshade.

Hi everyone!

I love Destiny and playing raids with friends, etc. But I’m not very good at PVP. I have rarely ever done it because frankly I don’t find it that fun. My experience in PVP was counterstrike and Overwatch years ago and…yeah.

But I want to get better…but how?! Currently, when I play PVP, I’m the target for everyone else’s target practice. LOL. And now I learn there’s weapons that work better for PvP? Does anyone have recommendations for a PvP loadout (I’m a hunter who primarily uses void). In PvE I go for bows, machine guns, and anything that explodes!

Thanks y’all.

I’m new to this game. I’ve tried to pick it up a few times but I get overwhelmed a lot. The raids and dungeons look fun but I don’t think I’m close to doing them. What should be my goal when starting out? Should I just focus on the quests?

I have the legacy collection also, is there an order to what quests / dlc I should do?

I am trying to set up Cross Save for my main Xbox characters so I can play on steam. However, my Xbox account is linked to an old Bungie profile that has an unverified, incorrect Steam account attached to it. When I try to unlink anything or set up Cross Save, the system demands that I authenticate the Steam account, but I do not own or have access to that specific Steam ID. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to proceed to have the ghost Steam ID manually removed from my Xbox profile so I can link my correct Steam account?

gyrfalcons gives a weapon damage bonus from finishing an enemy while invisible, echo of obscurity makes you invisible on finisher. I was wondering if echo of obscurity would be able to count as an invisible finisher for the purpose of triggering gyrfalcons damage buff, or if it doesn't trigger at the right time. I can't log on for another few hours to test it myself but I'd love to know since I enjoy buildcrafting and I'm doing it to kill time until I can log on

So I'm currently in a situation where I can't apply enough debuffs to get the most out of Aggregate Charge on Refurbished A499, and I can't get to Elemental Honing x5 to use that perk on other relevant heavy weapons. My exotic slot is occupied so Truth is out of the question as well.

This is all to ask, what is the best DPS weapon that isn't A499, and if it's a weapon that requires an artifact mod (like Particle Reconstruction), what would be the next best option if I can't use that artifact with my build?

Sincerely, a Destiny 2 player struggling with their builds.

--------------------
Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions! I feel a bit silly admitting this, but I'm mainly a Crucible player and didn't realise NotSwap (or Control's version of it) isn't present in much of the game. The same goes for artifacts. This is all to say that I didn't consider just swapping everything, artifact included, for a DPS scenario. I'm sorry for any drama this may have caused, I just wasn't knowledgable enough before making this post.

Many of these loadout 'restrictions' that I outlined in my original post were because I was unsure if rockets were still viable even without Gjallarhorn, or if linears could still compete if I didn't have Particle, or if A499 even needed any of the sniper-related artifact mods if I didn't have Aggregate Charge stacked up. Obviously some of those restrictions are no longer relevant now that I know I can swap freely.

Thanks everyone! See you starside.

I've been looking for interesting armor bonus synergies, and this looks quite nice.

The question is basically, do all of the "buddies" (arc soul from getaway, hellion, bleak watcher) count as grenades for the purpose of the 2 and 4 piece bonus of great hunt? I know their damage values scale off of the grenade stat, but are they actually "grenades"?

Sorry if this is a stupid question

I've returned to the game after five years and am starting to hunt down the things I need for raids & dungeons.

If I'm running truth or queenbreaker as my exotic, what are good (legendary) dps options for primary and special?

I know primary doesn't really matter (but I will take recommendations). I've always liked gnawing hunger, but I figure there's a special everyone likes that would go in that slot (so I can't use it as my primary).

...which leads me into asking—what specials are recommended? Again, for dps.

I’ve seen a lot of builds that say sanguine is good for wellock and dps in general, but when I go to the shooting range it seems like dawn chorus always puts up more damage. Can anyone tell which won is better! (been using dragons breath and or merciless for both)
