Overall, there’s a lot of good stuff in these notes.
Run patrol VIP (+25) and Kill Them All (+10) missions on Earth. They’re the most efficient bounties when time is taken into account.
Best way to go about it is scan your landing area, if none of the 3 available are VIP or KTA, go back to orbit and try again.
If you get a VIP, it’ll take you to the same spot everytime, which is in a different zone, thus another 3 chances to land another VIP or KTA. After finishing the VIP, if you don’t get another or a KTA, go back to orbit and repeat.
Stick only to those two areas, the rest isn’t time efficient.
I was in a similar position as you and doing this massed a ton of rep in a short amount of time. Tweak as need be.
I do it on Earth b/c the distance between the two zones is short and the path that gets you there runs through a nice, large pack of Fallen for any KTA missions you get.
EDIT: I based this off of the video below, but tweaked it to be a bit more efficient by sticking only to two zones and taking a different path.
GOOD
the vex was a hard weapon to get as well as pocket infinify
they should be among the improved weapons for the patch
now to do that bad juju bounty
Bad juju os still ass tier for pvp i feel. I guess it could be okay for pve but i still feel it needs a bigger mag. I dont have the inata reload yet tho so that could make it much better probably does
im liking the changes so far i think. esp now i can buy materials using the marks. was just the other day i was complaining i couldnt spend my vanguard marks since i wasnt high enough rank. now i have spinmetal and spiritbloom coming out my fucking ears!
i might have to revisit super good advice as well if the stability is better on it now.
Love the changes
I did work with the vex in pvp walked in mid match 21 kills easy head shots are the way to go and now you are more rewarded
I got that work by someone with the thorn dude gave me issues all game
Good to see though
Pocket infinity I mean how you want it the max stability or 5 fresh rounds in your face
I thought that was a fair number and clearly it works good
The vex is a smidge above most of the other weapons even though thorn matches up well with it but not op
It simply what it should be a class s rank weapon on the field and tough to beat if the person has some skill I was shock that the suros was matching up that well.
Hell If you were a millisecond off of head shooting them the suros would blow you out making angles of approach more iffy against the suros and it won more at more ranges.
and these changes fixed that nonsense the vex should be better
Thorn is gonna be a problem and I like that as well
Opens the gate for different weapon sets
Which part(s)? I’m at Xyor now, just been lazy (Translation: Scarred) To finish it up. I’ll help you if you help me tho.
In todays news…WTF!!!
Did these bitches REALLY just add a fucking commercial to the game? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS BRO!?!?!? A fucking commercial. Bitches need to be taken out back and shot for that shit. I hope the buffs will help make up for some of the nerfs added, but the commercial was NOT needed. Throw that shit out dammit.
Idk thorn seems like a problem. I pvped last night after the patch update and it was thorn city. Everyone had their thorns with the extra ammo and the reload speed its just nuts. Sure it has its drawbacks but that shit is nuts. My entire team brought out their thorns and we were winning matches 10000 to 2500 no issues. Winning matches before the second heavy spawned. I think somethingg there needs to be toned down a bit. If the meta becomes thorn and vex there will be an issue. I mean obviously not everyone has those but thorn isnt hard to get you just need to get lucky and net the bountie.
Wow, a solar burn nightfall. Never thought I’d see that again. Time to break out the VoC and Ice Breaker.
For the last part of the Thorn bounty:
If you know how to solo the Phogoth Nightfall, it’s pretty much the same strat. Bring solar weapons for wizard shields, and arc for knights.
Take the Wizard room slowly, use the long hallway to pick them off on the third wave.
At Phogoth, just wait in the room before the shrieker and just wait. The Special Wizard will come to you.
Thorn is still a three hit kill. It still loses head to head against auto and scout rifles. The Thorn favors a more defensive playstyle, and it’s an assist machine. The thing that keeps the Thorn in check is that it’s an Exotic and must contend for a spot in your loadout with the Pocket Infinity, Plan C, Truth, Suros and Mythoclast, all of those will beat the Thorn head to head.
Don’t sleep on Bad Juju for PVP now. This is a Control I played yesterday after the buff, just testing out using the new Bad Juju, and the Zombie Apoc HMG I got from Iron Banner. Kills are probably 50/50 between those two guns.
It’s not going to win you games if you can’t aim, but the buffs are significant. Especially the super generation on kill. (My score would have been even better if I was Warlock/Hunter instead of Titan.)
Of course, not every game is going to be like this, but I’ve averaged about a 2.0 KDR in the games I played yesterday with Bad Juju, which is still above average with most guns, much less that reformed piece of shit :lol:
Ah yeah. I DO remember that part being a real bitch. The 500 points via Void damage is NOT easy for those who don’t like using their void weapons, or even worse, those who don’t have them. I tried going it with a team and trying to get team kills, but no dice. I quickly found out that you have to do your own killing. After that, I went into free-for-all, spammed the absolute hell out of titan sticky grenades, and went from 0 to 500 in about three hours give or take for the points lost to getting killed, using non-void methods of killing, and stopping to eat. I hope that helps.
Yup, that’s exactly where I’m at. I have Atheon’s Epilogue, a Legendary void fusion rifle, Praedyth’s Revenge, a Legendary void machine gun called the Swarm, and the Truth- all maxed out. With Titan Defender grenades and the Armamentariun that allows for two grenades, you’d think that part of the bounty would be easy.
Too bad I suck at PvP. This will be a test of my patience.
I did it with just a void sniper and that is all. It was pretty easy if anything the wizard you need to kill before that was harder. Then again im okay at pvp lol im also okay at pve but i hate making my friends waste their time to benefit only myself. Either way i have my thorn and its good specially after the buff. Maybe its day 1 hype, hell im sure it is but idk that buff its pretty nuts.
Aw man i would love a hawkmoon. But for now since in not exotic rich i will have to do with a thorn. Isnt hawkmoon a 2hk with headshots in pvp?
Also quick question you guys may be able to answer. I know that pvp tries to even out stats to make it balanced and modes like iron banner use your level and stats for the pvp. But in standard pvp does armor play any role in determining how much dmg you can do/take? I was playing against a level 9 and my VoC was 3 shotting the poor guy with body shots. Would getting level 30 have any benefit in pvp outside maybe a % or 2 in better cooldowns?
I really have no intention on getting 30 since i never plan on doing hard mode raid since the only worth while thing is the vex which atm i dont feel the need to own and i just wana build a good pvp build.
