That typo tho...

I'm curious, if one doesn't have the same emblem/never unlocked this one, how does he what the number is referencing to? Like, I can't remember what emblem do what, I may cofound this number of your flawless victories in Trials.

Maybe by inspecting your build? Not really time friendly I guess.

The auto shotgun, liner fusion rifle headshots, cluster bomb grenade launchers, and swords with multiplicative damage are all equally effective or close to it and don't cost an exotic slot. Each one is just more situational compared to Merciless, but that's hardly a problem.

Not saying there aren't other options out there. Merciless is probably the easiest to use in everyone of those scenarios. And really, there aren't really many guns that are worth the Exotic Slot right now (Mida the exception, but due to things not at range in the raid, auto rifles do the trick).

Raid levers can definitely still be soloed post-patch, just tried. The timing just takes some work.

rally barricade for a RL is pretty brill. merciless is glorious af though, don't be silly now.

Merciless is sick, mine has hardly left the slot. It's just not close damage wise when you have a really big target who takes so many cluster hits. I can't imagine anything is.

That makes sense. Def gonna keep my eyes out for Cluster RLs. Anything but Curtain Call and the Raid one have it, that you know of?

Leave it to my boy Zavala to hook me up with Nameless Midnight. Been farming legendaries like crazy trying to land this and finally got it, with a +5 mod no less. I didn't hesitate to infuse my 291 MIDA-multi into it, so on top of getting a much better gun, I no longer have to waste an exotic slot on a decent but unremarkable scout rifle for the sake of PL.

Awesome weapon btw...feels just like my beloved explosive round "Not Like The Others" from Year 2.

The vast majority of players won’t notice or care. And those who do can probably tell the emblems apart.

Hey when you decrypt engrams.. Does the power of it go by the power and level you're at when you decrypt or when you got the engrams?
When it drops the Power Level is set.

how do you guys decide which legendary's to shard?
My experience with the weapon + what I’ve heard about it. Some standouts:

Nightshade, Endless Midnight, Last Hope, Uriel’s Gift, Hawthorn’s shotty, Old Fashioned, Annual Skate, Manannan, Main Ingredient.

Really? Seems like no one has recommended Curtain Call for the raid from what I've seen.
I single handedly (Pleasure Gardens spoiler)
Took out 4 dogs
and was consistently doing over 200k more damage to the final boss than the next highest damage person on my team last night. The thing is a monster.

Ive been pretty sticky with my sharding of legendary gear. Want to see what develops with the meta about what guns are best in slot. (and of course to play with each one to see for myself).

Off the bad, do not shard:
Uriels gift, The Prospector, Better Devils, The Old Fashioned, Namless Midnight, Scaterlocke, Origin Story,

Are there any people here that would like to help me beat the Raids final boss?

I was with a random crew couple of days ago and we finished the session once we reached the final boss. I'd preferably have people who want to finish the Raid with their alt.characters so that they have finished the Raid before.

I've just been shedding duplicates mostly - I have a bit of a collector's mentality going and I also don't want to regret anything later. Legendaries (and exotics) are so abundant, if you put some time in, you'll have plenty of shards - unless, perhaps, you go infusion crazy.

Plus, at 280, you'll be able to "buy" shards by creating legendary weapon mods through the Gunsmith, and dismantling them.

I'll have to try this. Double SMG with no reloading sounds like a blast. I'm going for max speed on my Titan so I'm running something similar to this. Peacekeepers and MIDA/Mini tool with whatever armor gives me the most mobility.

It is absolutely so fun, great for PVE. I've played with this build for like 50 light levels, I'm hitting a point I think I need to switch to stronger stuff though due to my guns being around 220 and I'm about 260~. I'm waiting on some higher level SMG drops or a good legendary/exotic to buff up as I go on.

Switching back to a "normal" loadout has been a slog since I'm so used to no-reload gameplay lol.

This is the kind of stuff I expect to see rise to the top. It seems few people are talking about how the mod system, exotics, and even unique non-exotic armor can be utilized to create builds like this. At least not at the moment. But I'm fairly confident that these kinds of builds will end up being very strong.

I agree so much. I know there are a few people are chatting about... mida multi/mini, hunter arrow class + orphus rig, war pig + sweet business. They're all very simple though, no complex builds yet.

I'm definitely going to get an entire top to bottom load out to support this dual SMG build.

You raided first!!!



It's pretty easy to get, depending on timezones I can help. I still need one for my last guy.
If you're around could you help me? I'll be on all day PSN Ant26587
If you are on the last step of the quest the nightfall that is going to reset late tonight is the one to do it on. We finished it last night with over 8 minutes left on the timer.
Yeah I know, that's why I'm spamming the thread for help lol

Reached 270 over the weekend and feel stuck. Is this about as high as I can go without raiding or trials at this point and is this high enough to start the raid? I want to try and get in a group before raiding parties drop off and are too hard to find.
