Doubtful. They have other guns they plan on nerfing first. Assault rifles and Shotguns.

Anyone have any tips on beating the fight before atheon? How many guys do you send in the portal to kill each gate keeper? We were running 2 in portal and 4 defend. It was taking a while to kill the keeper though and eventually the guys outside got over run

---

Start on the left portal first.
3 go in and 3 defend the Portal Plate.

Next go in the Right Portal.
2 go in. (relic holder and one of your stronger players)
2 defend Portal Plate
2 defend Conflux.

Then when out everyone defends the conflux.

Good stuff. Thanks to both of you

Did first raid attempt over the weekend. We didn't beat it, but I did get two legendary drops.

Found Verdict (shotgun) and Tread of the Hezen Lords (boots) from the first two bosses.

Went in to vault again tonight to finish up before the reset. 4shards from chest I didn't get first time. Got the lock chest drop on portals before atheon. Got the Atheon auto rifle for killing him. Was a really fun fight. I was on Oracle patrol in the portals.

Patch Notes for today.

Edit: Cleaned it up a bit.

It better be. Thing was useless against the Suros Regime onslaught in the crucible.

Seeing how I use the scout rifle in PvE all the time I may just stick with it since they are reducing some auto effectiveness.

Myth kind of needed a big nerf, that thing was a weapon of mass destruction in the crucible. 4 hit kills with a clip of around 60 with the ammo perk.

There is no doubt. 4 hits if you are lucky. The thing was more powerful than heavy ammo which is just crazy. I wish they would not have increased the crit damage and would increase the recoil.

Vex Myth

The gun is not fair. The recoil is almost nothing for a damn fusion rifle with no charge.
