Destiny 2

^^ Good tips. I was using Ticcu (with cat) for crowd control and it was VERY effective. I had the Royal Entry with a precision frame rocket launcher on for a heavy. Kinetic I basically didn't bother. Stasis was also effective for crowd control and damage.


Harbinger is bugged. I went in with a couple of guys and once we got to the cave area all entrances were blocked and wouldn't open up no matter what. Needs a hotfix.
 
Hmm, we did Harbinger no problem last night. Also Riskrunner when under leveled is just OP, and it does Overload. A lot of your incoming damage is Arc and that procs Riskrunner. Overshield and never have to reload plus staggers overload champs. On 1330 that Arc overshield was absolutely necessary.

I'll do it.
 
Riskrunner is fantastic. It's been my go-to in a ton of the super difficult solo activities since forever.

You all weren't kidding. I've neglected it so my catalyst isn't even finished on it yet and it still opened my eyes. I ran 6 of those nighfalls at 1300 with the double rewards. Nice!
 
So.. I did the 100 Intellect Geomag in comp last night for the weekly challenge. It's pretty fun. Totally felt no shame.

I was doing solo Presage and "almost" got flawless. I wanted to make sure I'd gotten all the logs and other scannables possible so far.

What happens? During the boss fight in the upper area my fingers slips and my rocket fires too close to a wall. Dead. No flawless. Lame.

Pretty much what I did last night after you logged off. Made it to final boss, last phase, panicked and rocketed myself to death.
 
Game is on special at the humble store, 60 bread for the legendary edition. Thinking about picking it up but haven't played since forsaken

I remember playing a bunch of Gambit with some buds.. i had a lot of fun cause one of us had figured out something that I can't really describe technically but focused around me, the Titan, using my charge ability on the Primeval followed by another class using something that would melt it almost instantly. That was funny as hell man I laughed so hard those nights cause it was just W after W and the guy who showed us the Strat would just say "ok done" all casually when the shit was over

So I think I'm gonna get it again even if that's not possible anymore. Gonna lurk this thread a little more though cause I don't understand half of what you folks are describing.
 
It's not any big deal because it's fast and easy but I've been doing Coup De Grace for weeks. Wasn't there supposed to be some ship drop after a point? I'm sure this is all RNG. Am I right about this?

Sorry about that 1330 run. My wife and kids came down to chat and after you left me and the other guy 2 manned it to the boss fight but had to break. Might give it another shot tomorrow.

Anarchy has been my exotic pretty much non stop since I got it last season. Risk runner does really well in certain solo situations, but ya, I get it totally.

No worries! I thought I'd bailed on you guys. I hadn't paid close enough attention to the time and had to bolt to dinner right then and there. Family was on me. We were stuck pretty good. LOL, that was nuts and my hat is off that just the two of you made it to the boss in that mess!
 
My favorite Lost Sector to do on Legendary had the Exotic Chest piece today, so I went through and got it on my Warlock and Titan. Tried on my Hunter, but after 5 runs gave up on it. I had to rank both the Titan and Hunter up just to be able to run it, so it was a long day before that. Still need Bakeris and the Exotic arms for Hunter too, so she (female Awoken) is feeling a little left out. Still, lots of progress today.

Which Lost Sector? Can I still get that gear if I do it with other people?

I went to the 1300 lost sector on Europa. Almost beat the overload boss... even though I wailed away on him with overload arrows (Ticcu ) and lit him up he kept regenerating anyways. Super...everything...and I just couldn't kill him fast enough. I was stunning him nonstop and it all just wasn't good enough.

Not worth it at this rate unless there's some detail I'm missing. I'll try and switch and fire rockets or something at him. That's crazy.

The first overload champ at the entrance is the hardest IMO. What I do is kill off the three dregs and a shank that come out into the open first, I do that from the spot you load in at...dont really have to move forward much. For the overload, I would stun him with Ticcu, then rocket him to take off a big chunk of health then switch back to ticcu and chain stun him to finish him off. If you get up close and try to sword him down the other shanks and dregs around that corner can kill you pretty easily. The second champ is barrier, if you just hang out in the crawl space before dropping into the room it will "usually" go over to the left and you can just camp out in that space ducked down and chip away at it.

Ok. I was doing great until the last overload guy. I had cleared everyone out. I'll have to get my twitch gamer on a little bit and switch back and forth from Ticcu to rocket like you're saying.

The last overload champ usually goes in that little space to the left where you cant see him unless you jump across the gap. He is harder to get a stun on in that corner since you have to get so close. I can usually get him to come out of that corner and move to the back of that area then pick him off at range.

Good idea. I actually got lucky in one sense on my attempt: He fell into the lake so I was able to spam bomb him from above in relative safety. Any particular rocket launcher you recommend?
 
Keep in mind which lost sector is Legend and Master switch every day. Now the Legend lost sector is the northern one on Europa and is dropping helmets.

You are talking about the one right after the barrier champ? That one If you keep stunning him he will usually fall into the lake and he is easy, If he doesn't I use the same strat as the 1st one stun, rocket, stun to death. There is one more champ after that that I was referring to above. I use a subzero salvo RL with killing wind and cluster bomb

I went into that and greased it three times. Didn't get much for my troubles. Oh well.

Sounds like you got it in the end, but I'll tell you what made it easy for an old fart like me. Xenophage.

I stun the Overload Champs with a bow, then pummel them with Xenophage until they are dead (6 shots typically). I run double Machinegun Scavenger + Ammo Finder, so I usually have just enough to do this with all the Champs, plus burst the Solar shields on the Heavy Shanks, and then rail on the Boss (which is usually 2 stage). I use a Sniper for Barrier Champs, and the new Imperial Needle bow for Overload. Because it is Void and I can also burst the shields on the Servitors that shield everyone in the Boss room. Xeno for Solor as I mentioned. Run an Arc subclass specifically for the Arc grenade using the Surge Detonator mod from the 4th column of the Artifact. This not only takes care of Arc shields, it stuns Overload Champs much more reliably than Bow or SMG (sometimes they glitch out and only stun for a second *known bug*).

I ran this Lost Sector 15 times with this loadout, moving it from Class to Class. It made it manageable even when I was under-leveled. What I found funny was my fastest runs were with my least used Class: Hunter. Have one just under 9 minutes. Could probably do it faster with a Sword build, but I like keeping my distance on this one. Got Warlock Exotic in 2 runs, Titan in 7, and gave up on Hunter after 6

Well, same story today. Ran the E15 Bunker on Legendary on my Titan and Hunter for the Exotic Helms. 2 runs for Hunter, 3 for Titan... game must have been feeling generous. Medium quality rolls, but I'll take what I can get. Same loadout as above, arguably easier that the Void LS from yesterday, had a couple sub 7 minute runs.

Not any big deal but any tips for speeding up this somewhat tedious "explosive entrance" seasonal challenge that requires the grendade takedowns and only in Battlegrounds. I'm up to 17/45 so far and I've gone through 4 matches. I'll get there but it's a little bit of a slog.

Use a grenade that does AOE damage, and isnt stasis. Farm battlegrounds that enemies tend to group up in. I ran the one on europa over and over until finished.

A build to help regen grenade energy is super helpful. I think Hunters I was running with were doing Lucky Raspberry and weapons with Demolitionist. You can do a really efficient loadout with a primary, special and heavy all with demo and have nearly constant grenade spam.

**EDIT**

Also, should go without saying, as near as you can be to 100 Discipline the better.

Warlock, Sunbracers, Solar grenades. They last longer with nice radius to their AOE. Naturally high Discipline with any mods to help get your nade back, and a weapon with Demolitionist will help. Probably still going to be a bit of a slog, but hopefully less so.

I'm a Hunter but I can do the rest of that. Good tips.

EDIT: Hit cosmodrome battleground and knocked the rest of that out shockingly fast. :)

Got together with some of the old Division crowd a couple days ago, ran some 1300 Nightfalls. Q-BZ (Valguard) had to take a quick break, so jmaker and I had to make a photo op out of it.

Then, jumped into some 12 man 1330 madness... for about 6 hours. :sneaky: That was some crazy stuff! Spent half my golf balls already. :cry:

Honestly I thought this would be just another unaccessible thing other people would do and I would hear about. I was on LFG last night trying to find a group for 1300, but E V E R Y B O D Y was doing 12 man. I just joined one and was along for the ride for an hour or more, than I was helping start one. It was a BLAST!! Hope Bungie allows for this some time in the future. Not every activity has to be about "making it challenging", sometimes we just want to have some wild fun.

Had to go empty Postmaster once, even with moving everything to Vault with DIM that was moveable. Think I disassembled 20 Shadow Prices, lol. Ended with 18 golf balls and 100 shards after 4.5 hours; averaged 8-10 minute runs.
 
Need help please.

My son got Destiny 2 this winter, but he got just the free Steam game then. And today I bought him the Beyond Light deluxe edition.

I have Destiny 2 as well, but my version is like from 2019 or so. I bought it for like $79 back couple years back. So tonight I also purchased myself the Beyond Light deluxe edition.

So both my son and I purchased Beyond Light deluxe for each of our PC's.

Ok...

We both load up the game and we see the blue pulsating Beyond Light thing on left side of the destination screen. But neither of us are allowed in. Said we need to complete some quest or something, before we are able to access that.

A Spark of Hope.

So now what? I'm totally confused

go to the tower, to the left of the mailbox/postmaster is a kiosk. Start the new light quest from there. Once finished you will be able to progress

So click the world in the middle named The Tower, then click the Courtyard?
