Any pro groups running their alts through the raid quest this morning that need a sixth? I'm home sick and would love to cruise through while my wife is at work.
I can start in about a half hour.

365 to 380 was, for me, was at least 5x faster than 350 to 365

i am a titan, but have not done any part of the quest, will i get it if i join?
The raid 6 six times in a 5 day span would definitely help with that (I went from 365 to 382)

Any titans compared the Ruin Wings heavy ammo drop rate with the Raid gauntlets? Which drops more heavy?

Yeppppp haha. All three characters are above 380 after 6 raid runs.

Really?! I've been finding it to be completely the opposite. I need a ghost and artifact higher than my 366/365 ones and they always drop at or 1 above that level it seems for me. Blues and Purples cap at 365 so where do I find infusion fodder now? Not being snarky... honestly curious. Will i just have to continue to raid over and over and use or infuse those weapons/armor/ghosts and pray on an artifact?
No, you will need to do the raid first with all the monitors activated.
Yes, you need to activate all 5 monitors and beat the final boss.

All the wacky stuff you have to do in the raid us how you get the quest in the first place. As part of it you need to finish it a second time iirc
Glad to hear this!
My group isn't ready to go in yet but I've been on a blackout so I know nothing about it.

The first step is to activate all 5 monitors and beat the final boss. The 4th monitor is tied to the puzzle in the server farm. Solving that puzzle gives you a fancy emblem and an exotic engram.
Once you beat Aksis you can go under the map, activate monitor #5, and open the chest that will give you a siva engine and tells you to talk to Shiro. That starts the quest. The quest is 9 or 10 steps, I believe. Kinda blurred together for me lol... But it involves doing stuff in the plaguelands, solving puzzles in fireteams of 3 (one of each class), and going back into the raid to beat 3 bosses for modules.

I'm going to wait until the hotfix/patch notes before decrypting anything. Just in case they make any changes.

Got my ghost from a dead orbit package
Got artifacts from opening heroic strike chests with skeleton keys
Got endless class items from Archon's Forge
The rest were either exotic engrams (I had a bunch saved to decrypt when I hit 365), crucible rewards, faction packages, nightfall rewards, and then also raid loot.
You're in for a treat.

What's a really good pve/boss fight sniper?
I've been using a 1000 yard stare with triple tap, perfect balance and mulligan forever. Where and how can I get a better one?

I got a higher than 350 artifact (a 355 when I was around that light level) from one of the shiro bounties. I dont remember if I ranked it up or if it just randomly gave it to me after the bounty.
legendary crucible drops are every 3-4 games.
a friend and I have it down to a science now.

I hope the 390 roll on Outbreak Prime was intentional. I'm at work and didn't infuse it last night haha.
Not a huge deal, ultimately. I have a spare 383 weapon in my vault to infuse with.

Thats one of if not the best one /shrug.

What you already have seems pretty damn good to me.
everyone uses this gun. i inspected a bunch of Gaffers and they're all using this sniper now.
Strangelove77

I guess I'll stick with it then. I just assumed there'd be a better one by now.
i ended up taking it outta the Vault and infusing it now too. It really is the best Sniper currently.

Ok that's basically what i'm aware of as well. Just comes down to luck. But for me personally ranking from previous level cap to 365 is lightning compared to this because you're flooded with blues and purples up to 365. You just can't NOT level quick lol.
I'll be back on that grind after work. At least WotM is fucking amazing fun!

Yeh unfortunately it's still all rng haha. Gotta get lucky. I think having all of the exotic engrams saved is what propelled me the most- got a bunch in the raid also from chests/first boss with 3oC.

Do you know what exact stages 3oC works in WotM? I completely forgot to pop them during last night's raid :/

Only one- when you take down Voksis.
I use the Event Horizon from the crucible vendor in PvE now. 3 shots but Spindle impact class so it hits like a truck. Good scope with shortgaze, spray and play for super fast reload and explosive rounds if you fancy that.
Give it a try if you have marks and no use for them.

Ok wasnt sure about
the 1st encounter but i guess since he just runs away

It seems like everything from TTK is better than anything from Rise of Iron. I couldn't find a better primary than Hung Jury either and I think Sleeper Simulant or Dark Drinker are better heavys than Ghallarhorn.
Not to mention that the raid weapons people have been able to get aren't great either since no one seems to use them.
I was ready for new stuff.

Yeah, I bought this a few days back and yeah it feels really good to shoot. The reload is extremely fast even without sniper arms. I've thought about making it my main sniper.
Stop perving my loadouts
this is what happens when i'm grinding Strikes on my own since everyone is raiding without me.
Think I'm going to pick this up soon too even though I have Devil's Dawn. Spray and Play on a 3 round mag seems awesome to maintain high DPS.

Anyone know if Bungie has posted the patch notes or when they will for the 2.4.0.3 update today?

I could stand to do Nightfall. If you get a third I'll jump on; can send me a request at WallachGAF if you don't have me already.
