    Anyone ground out the new Fusion yet? Wouldn't mind knowing if it's any good.

    Will take something special to knock my Zealot's Reward off it's PvE perch.

    @gamecat at least it ticks by passively without needing to use the gun. After that you'll still need like 500 kills with it.

    Got yesterday the Titan exotic legs after my second run of the Scavenger's Den lost sector. That's one problem solved at least.

    I've just got it, and it seems OK, but I don't think I'd feel a great need to rush for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmMVFjwJaIU is a decent overview.

    Thanks for that. That's a bit of a shame. Wasn't expecting Loaded Question V2 but it would be nice to get a new FR into my weapon pool. Maybe I'll stick it on an alt.

    Yeah this seasonal is crap. I can barely be arsed doing 3 of this new one for the pinnacle.

    It does kind of suck, yes. Just like the sidearm.

    I suppose we'll have to wait and see if the weekly mission is any good at least. And whether there will be any secret quests. That alone won't really change my opinion on this season, but at least I won't feel like I've wasted my reward points.

    Got some new HC earlier that reminds me of Luna's howl, it's a total beast!

    Edit. Survivor epitaph!

    The new trials SMG has big range. I think that could be my new favourite.

    Try epitaph. It three taps everything and has that 180 fire rate and I got a drop with range. :). It's a thing of beauty in the crucible. Love it with six gun golden with dodge reload.

    One thing that's always bugged me, Shield Bash should suppress the target, but I've tried it on enemy supers and they always just kept going?

    Epitaph should only be 3 tapping with a damage boost of some form, not that it is hard to get one with all the shit stasis going on in crucible.

    I still wouldn't use it though, needing 3 headshots even with a damage boost is kinda meh, I'd rather just use a 120.

    Yeah even with the range nerf 120s are still dominant.

    I've been having fun with 450 autos this week though.

    In case any hasn't spotted btw, don't drop your IB tokens yet. You can't get the new guns from the engrams.

    Okay I've got my old characters back so I've got pretty much all the exotics again :). Last word is so so much fun, it's close between that and chaperone for my most fun to use in crucible. Are the old guns still amazing or have they changed everything? So for example is dust rock blues still ridiculous? I see they have added Hawkmoon, need to get that if it's not too much effort.

    Seems they've not done a lot to Hand Cannons and skidding rifle range Shotties from the IB I played to grab Pinnacles. Still, I was holding my own with a Monte Carlo on my 44 Mobility Warlock so fuck 'em.

    Crucible is still hand cannon and shotgun hell. And now Stasis got added to the mix too.

    I can still play a decent Suros, but it's not a good time for PvP. We haven't had any new maps in a long time, either.

    Anyway, Vault of Glass kicks off in just over an hour and I'm so excited because A: I never usually get to play day one raids anymore due to a combination of not having time to gear sufficiently and not having a team to join up with and B: it's the Vault of fucking Glass!

    I'll be watching the day one streeams, I guess. It sahould be an interesting watch for once, if only because I'm pretty sure it won't last five hours this time.

    I'm sure there will be one or two surprises thrown in there but I'm hoping the core formula isn't messed with too much. Still the highlight of the series for me so it will be special going through again.

    @gamecat not sure... I'll probably just watch the one with the most viewers when the raid starts, and then switch to whoever is ahead.

    What LL do I need to be!? I'm like 1120 :). Definitely need to get on vog!? What platform you all play on?

    I don't mind most of the sliding shotgun players because you can see they have the shotgun, you can them sprinting so I know to aim lower with my last word. Usually stops them before they get to me.

    So contest mode combined with the slightly new mechanics made it no joke. Got to Atheon and called it a day after 8 hours. We all figured there was no point pushing on considering we'd then have to finish it again on Challenge mode to see any kind of reward for finishing on day one. It's a bit of a silly system but I sort of understand the why but it's a little too tryhard for our personal tastes.

    Most of our time was spent on Templar. I've seen since that a lot of groups have found a trick to melt him in one phase with shotguns up close so it makes me kind of proud we stuck to our strategy using all the mechanics and downed him over 3 phases while dealing with about 600 tank Minotaurs.

    Despite swearing that I was done with it this season (yet again), there really is nothing else like this for a rainy afternoon when you can't be arsed picking up something new...

    Smashed out the Deathbringer catalyst earlier which has prompted me to adjust my regular PVE loadout a bit - now rocking the seasonal auto rifle with subsistence/rampage (not a perfect roll elsewhere, but it was the first I got and the best so far) and a decent roll deafening whisper (AA/wellspring). Actually looking forward to unlocking the warmind cell mod that'll pair wonderfully with the latter, so that's probably the carrot on a stick that'll keep me playing this season.

    Curious to see what the weekly pinnacle quests end up being too, and I normally enjoy a bit of solstice action... Goddamnit, I'm back in!

    We fucking DID IT.

    Contest mode took us 12 hours, 6 hour sleep break then 5.5 hours for challenge.

    Fucking hyped.
