re: ***tOfficial Destiny XBONER thread***

Great...no fix for Bad Juju. Damn thing doesn't reload when you kill harpies. Wonder if they even know that's a problem. Anyone else notice that?

Wish they would up the damage a bit on it or give it more ammo in the magazine. It's not the best exotic out there, but it's really nice when killing a bunch of adds and never having to stop to reload or pick up ammo.

I picked up an autorifle with vanguard marks, wondering how big the nerf is. The reduction to headshot modifier is going to piss off a bunch of people.

Yeah, PvP it's terrible, I'll agree. I just like it when running PvE missions and patrols because you never have to reload or search for ammo. If they would increase the magazine to 21 rounds from 15 it would be a huge buff. You should be able to miss one or 2 bursts and still be able to take down someone.

You have to admit in a hallway with waves of enemies running at you it's nice to just pump 100+ rounds from it and never reload. When I get to bosses though I tend to switch because it's complete crap for bosses. Very situational to waves of enemies, patrolling and vanguard missions for me though.

I have a question about heroics, is there any benefit from doing the vanguard bounties on the level 22-28 heroic modifier? Do more rare/legendary engrams drop and I just am not paying enough attention? I usually just rush them on the lowest heroic and finish them in a couple minutes and move on.

This is one of the easier nightfalls I can remember. Devils Lair strike is easy. You could solo this one and only have to worry about the one area where you deploy your ghost abd fight the 3 waves. The snipers and invisible vandals are a pain. It's void modifier so make sure to use those weapons.

And yes the level 28 dailys/strikes/etc all have a higher chance of dropping exotics and legendary. Plus you are guaranteed shards/energy.

I wasn't talking about the daily. I was talking about the bounties you get to go kill Draksis for instance on heroic. Does doing it on say level 14 heroic differ from level 28 in terms of drops? I've done a few on level 24 and really didn't seem like the extra time (due to increased difficulty) provided substantial rewards, so I just went back to the first heroic difficulty when doing them.

That was a while back though and wondering if it has changed or I just had crappy luck with drops.

Appreciate it, been wondering that for a while now. I can definitely see the benefit in the Daily/Weekly level difference but I just felt as though I was wasting time on the regular bounties instead of just rushing through them, getting my rep and xp for motes.

Also, anyone else get aggravated that they don't make exotic bounties have their own slot instead of holding a spot with the rest keeping you from being able to pick up 5 normal bounties at once? I've been having the thorn one for over a week now waiting to get the chance to run that level 26 instance to kill the guy with Phogoth. All I've heard is that it's a huge pain in the butt so I haven't tried to run through it solo and hope for the best.

Kinda yeah. I got 3 in the past week and a half and was able to finish the final one last night. Got through some of them pretty quickly. Its when you have multiple at the same time is when it get frustrating.

I did the bounty for the machine gun. Searched for an hour or two for an item from a random chest. Next step was to buy something from Xur. Missed him by a few minutes. Had to hold it a week for him to come back.

I lucked up on that one and got the item second chest, but the other ones I've gotten I've needed Xur on I completed the part before him on Sunday and had to wait until Friday of the following week.

Never this lucky...

Witnessed a guy with a .3 K/D on my team (who was 3rd btw, goes to show you how bad the team was that round) get an exotic drop in the crucible with me. Probably played my best game that I've played so far in PvP in Destiny since I'm rusty as hell from not playing PvP in a FPS for about 2+ years.

Was a pretty depressing feeling, in fact I don't think I've hit the crucible since then which was a couple days ago.

I've only gotten the exotic bounties, haven't been lucky enough for a legendary engram to pop one out or get one as a reward.
