Its either slow or strong, or fast and weaker.

I've gotten the NL Shadow 701X and its an absolute beast. I rolled with auto fire, hand laid stock and hidden hand. Its like a Suros in its good ol days.

Where can I pick that up?

Was thinking of going for the vanguard one One/one Synesthete. Might just upgrade my current one to HOW standards.

Also, to those who have gone flawless, how similar is the play style to Salvage? I typically carry my team in every crucible game I play, with a k/d of typically 2.0-3.0, will I do well? Or do I have to play like a massive douche? Also are long range weapons better than short range for ToO? Also, Rocket Launcher or Machine gun? Is a max HoC or Jolders better? Sorry for all the questions but I'm out for blood. I already bought all the buffs, but busy till tomorrow.

If your name is Nonoriri you have to go buy Nanami's tampons.
Anyone get lucky with helmet engrams for new exotics?

Bought 5 helm engrams got Light Beyond Nemesis (Last OG Warlock exotic I was missing) Eternal Warrior, 2x The Ram and one Mask of the Third Man. Was fishing for The Ram since I don't have a Titan or Hunter yet got overzealous and spam decrypted 3 helmet engrams and got 2 rams in a row lol

So are you only allowed one attempt at the ToO per weekend?

Like if you fail 3 times or win 9 times and complete it, can you do it again?

You'll do fine, but it's not like any other mode. The location you die is incredibly important.

Long and short range both have their place, but DEFINITELY rocket launcher, with tracking, over machine gun IMO. Which is a huge adjustment for me from normal Crucible.
If you get another token, which is randomly given in Crucible I think.
Nah, vance just gives you one.

You will do fine. Use the mulligan buff. 1 person can stomp if they are good which it seems you are.

RL is preferable to MG. It is about quick 1 shot kills here.

So, if I followed it right, triple's team went 9-0, 9-0, 9-0 and 9-0 so far.
He got the handgun, the auto rifle, and the scout rifle, and 6384654 etheric lights.
The rewards are crazy good, but there's a real discrepancy between what the best pvp players can get compared to the pve ones. Those primary weapons look absolutely insanely good, whereas the PoE ones, well...
 
I'm around btw, can throw up the new OT here in a bit once we get closer to 20k. Let me know if there have been any strong title candidates to emerge recently since I've been so out of the loop the last day or two.

Mad jelly of all the ToO action. Hopefully I'll get set up soon and can get back in it.

You'll do fine. As long as you stick with your team and don't rush in alone. We faced a lot of teams who just kept pushing from the same side every round, so usually we would have two people facing them and one flank around.

I would definitely go for a rocket launcher, we quickly switched to GHorns and wiped out teams before they could shoot a single Machine gun bullet. Although it's kind of difficult if you only can choose between HoC and Jolder's, but I wouldn't worry too much about the heavy ammo round. Communication is key, we used a lot of the callouts that were on Zoba's map (thanks for that!). Keep calling out even when you're dead, you can actually see a lot while your orb just lies there.

Winning like that is impressive, but also seems incredibly boring after a while. What are you going to do with all the cool loot? continue to go undefeated and expand the gap between you and the rest of the scrubby also-rans?
 
I was patrolling Cosmodrome and happened upon a lone Fallen Queenbreaker Captain on my way from Steppes to The Divide. Killed him, got 5 Grimoire and a Token of Judgement. I'm wondering if the rest of the Queen's bounty targets are out there even though there aren't any actual bounties released for them yet.

Do any of the PoE primaries have element damage?
The ones you can get from the boss in PoE 35.
Seems like a VERY rare drop, though.
Meanwhile, the best players nearly have all of the interesting stuff tonight... :D

Yeah, that's part of my point: it seems the challenge is waaay too easy for great teams.
Their decision to matchmake based on the location instead of skill is biting them in the ass day one...

Everyone is too busy playing to think up clever subtitles. You are on your own Drizz.

I do have a Ghorn I just didn't know if it was worth giving up an exotic primary.

Also, thank you everyone for the answers I'm very excited for ToO, I love PVP and PVE I'm weird haha!

You should stick to one of the three exotic hand cannons if you're comfortable with them. We quickly switched to GHorns when the heavy ammo spawned, but i think we rushed their heavy 9/10 times with supers.

3-2 on my current passage, and I am getting those last two wins after dinner damnit! Want that chestpiece pretty badly now.

Thanks everyone for the great matches. So far, as someone who considers himself an average player, I think I would say I'm an outright fan of ToO. It's stressful (gets your heart beating like hell), but really fun.

Should I keep this roll for a pvp Spear?

Ambush scope
Double Down
Field Scout/High Caliber Rounds/Skip Rounds
Final Round

Middle perks are the only ones I'm iffy on. Everything else seems perfect.
