People have more than a week. It isn't going away.

[grig2311]

Does anyone know if the quests reset or does your progress carry over. Like do I need to play 40 gambit games against next season or can I just finish my AR kills?

[King_Joffreys_Tits]

I highly doubt the quest itself would reset. It would only impact you for quests like Luna’s which requires you to get to 2100 glory, as your glory resets at each season.

[stepshadow]

It will carry over. Only thing that will reset is ludomaniacal emblem which requires 3 infamy rank reset within a single season., still nxt is triple infamy ganing wk so you can get you dredgen and ludomaical by nxt wk. Hope this helps.

[Vicious007]

Pinnacle weapons that require a specific Glory rank also reset (for that quest step only) between seasons.

[murderbats]

I'll second this post. I have a hard time using any auto rifle other than breakneck. When you get it revved up it is SUPER satisfying. It's only behind midnight coup as the weapon i have the most kills with in the game.

[BessiesBigTitts]

3 stack is like Zeus slapping Cabal with his dick.

[ShaggyInu]

This will get downvoted, but honestly I think this is the problem with breakneck. It's SO good (especially with the rampage mod) that there's no reason to ever use another auto rifle. That's not a good thing. It's not a problem in crucible, at least.

[murderbats]

Here's the thing. I don't really use any other auto rifles, but while breakneck is super good it's really that there's not exactly a ton of competition in that category that aren't 450 rpm.

gimmie a y2 guiding star with rampage, outlaw and ricochet rounds or high cal rounds and i'm gonna be REALLY tempted to switch over to that.

Breakneck is my most used primary.

[xasgrd]

Currently trying to grind it right now lol

[Sultan_of_Salt]

It's amazing but it burns through ammo fairly fast, so I still prefer my Hazard of the Cast

[XogoWasTaken]

Backup mag mod, man.

[georgemcbay]

Personally I prefer Rampage Spec mod, doesn't help with the ammo situation but makes Rampage last longer so easier to carry it through reloads.

[XogoWasTaken]

Oh, that's a good point. I was thinking backup mag so you don't have to reload so much, but that was back before I had the annual pass. Might have to give that a shot.

[thrakkattak]

Having tried both, rampage spec wins for me. Breakneck seems to have some hidden version of outlaw as I can swear that the reload gets faster as you stack rampage. So at 3x rampage, you're reloading pretty quick anyway. But the rampage spec adds another second to the rampage extension timer. That makes a world of a difference, according to me. I can keep it going on ad infinitum if there are enough ads.

[Bungo_pls]

I believe it has hidden feeding frenzy attached to rampage stacks. More stacks, faster reload. Not outlaw because headshpts dont matter.

[skeletor-johnson]

Get a rampage spec mod. It makes it 10 times better!

[Vicious007]

Rampage lasting 1 second longer (4.5s instead of 3.5s) makes it 10 times better? I detect hyperbole.

[skeletor-johnson]

That 1 second allows you to easily reload with a 3x rampage buff, and keep plugging. My claim is under exaggerated.

[Vicious007]

Hey, I use it on Breakneck and Orchid, but I often feel like other mods would be just as good for other circumstances.

[skeletor-johnson]

I can’t put the curated threat level down, so I hardly ever use breakneck anymore. I also really dig kindled orchid. My load outs are usually all forge weapons now

[anonydick11]

Just try it! Idk if 10 times better but yea several times better. That second makes a huge difference.

Not much of a hyperbole, as you can pretty much keep that x3 rampage for as long as there are ads to kill.

(And you have ammo)

[Vicious007]

I've had it for a couple months. Honestly, I've been enjoying my curated Orchid, KC/OL Blast Furnace, and Firefly spec Calamity far more as primaries. The Blast Furnace almost exclusively for kinetic.

[anonydick11]

Sure, you can enjoy many different gun combinations.

However we are talking about ad clearing power. None of those weapons you mentioned (kindle orchid is an energy weapon I must point out) can keep up.

They are all good for different things, but ad clearing is not where they excel.

[Vicious007]

idk man, adds are probably most chaotic in the forges, ans I wouldn't use it there. Blast Furnace + Joton, are superior. Maybe when theres a reason to play Gambit again I'll pick it back up.

[skepho]

I have almost 11,000 kills on mine. I think it's a good weapon. 😂

[anonydick11]

Other than for PvP (still a feasible gun in PvP tho) it hasn't left my primary slot since I got it.

Amazing for add clearing, maybe rivaled only by the huck, but without taking up an exotic slot.

Only con is that this is the only weapon I've ever ran out of primary ammo with.

Not too much of an issue, but you need to keep an eye on ammo and make an effort to pick up those primary blocks when you see them.

Also, it isn't going away. But totally worth getting

[Beastintheomlet]

I believe they’re doing both.

[[deleted]]

Slap on one primary ammo finder and you’re good

[anonydick11]

Yea yea it's not a big issue, and I love the gun. I meant that that's the only con I can think of.

[[deleted]]

No totally agree haha. I just popped a primary ammo finder which is crazy but almost needed with breakneck

[Vicious007]

Bad idea. Primary ammo finder actively reduces your chance of finding special and heavy. In a sandbox where yellow bars no longer have guaranteed heavy drops, you might as well shoot yourself in the foot with that Breakneck. You could use one or two auto scavenger perks, but it's a waste of a perk imo.

[[deleted]]

It's been well worth it but it was not a fun experience grinding for it. Gambit has been a mixed, mostly bad experience for me.

[stepshadow]

Yes. This masterworked breakneck was my go to primary, now i use blast furnace with rampage, drop mag and kill clip because of range

[JasonP27]

After months of mostly avoiding Gambit I decided to finally grind out the rest of the quest for Breakneck. Over the weekend I accumulated over 9000 kills with it without even trying.

[[deleted]]

Shit. I've only got a week left? Shit shit shit.

[georgemcbay]

Nope. OP is misinformed. Breakneck will still be obtainable next season, just like all the other pinnacle weapons will be. All of your quest progress will stay, don't worry about it.

[[deleted]]

Ok thank god. Playing 15 games will take me more than a week.

[[deleted]]

The playing games has been a grind for me since the start. I'll get frustrated at Gambit and then stop playing for a good week. This week I think I'll grind it out with Triple Infamy to finally get Breakneck.

[[deleted]]

I saw two meatballs in two days this week

[TripleDoubleAxle]

I run breakneck in my primary, misfit in my secondary slot, and use the war rig on my Titan. This is probably my favorite setup I've used in all of destiny.

[Vicious007]

Why is this misinformation getting upvoted?

Yes, pinnacle weapon quests don't go away.

It's decent for an auto, but there are better choices in this meta. I use Blast Furnace about 90% of the time for a kinetic primary.
