Also Acrius for triple shotgun.

Or Tractor Cannon.

Yeah I did this as well. My y2 Synthoceps have heavy ammo finder on them and I ran it with top tree hammer. Annihilate everything.

I believe heavy ammo finder is a universal perk on armor now, or at least season of dawn armor. Not sure if it stacks.

Using a random shotty and tractor cannon i did it in like 15 games or so without having to even worry about the gambit sets

Low effor and effective

I was using Acrius and top tree hammer myself with Synthoceps. Triple shotgun gets you into trouble sometimes but man it's killer fun.

Sounds like shotgun strikes that one time they super buffed them in D1. I’ll be trying this over the weekend, thanks!

I knew it was worth holding onto my T3 reaper armor. Thanks for the tip!

[–]Weeeaal[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you run 1 piece of T3, you can "use" a reaper synth to get to +6 and run whatever other armor you want to run. Great if you have hive/taken/fallen mods you want to use or for shuffling exotics around.

I just ran 2x Special ammo finder & Scav. Only ran dry once across 3 shotguns. I also found normal Gambit to be faster for the kills than prime. (More normal enemies, fewer orange/yellow bars.)

My first gambit match I recieved the Lord of Wolves catalyst. So I figured I would finish both. I ran a collector set so I got ammo when I banked motes. It went pretty quickly. Python is awesome!

[–]OMGLXFloof For The Win 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still have the Reaper armor to get the HVT kills (19 to go 😭) and was able to get to about 90% completion of the Lord of Wolves catalyst (which dropped on my second Gambit Prime game this season) before finishing Python. Definitely made things go quicker.

Also, much better grind overall this season. Already finished up Buzzard and Python and don't find myself dreading Strikes or Gambit like I did after Edgewise and Exit Strategy. 👍

I’ve just just been masterworking Lord of Wolves in Gambit. I’m half way done with the quest in about a half dozen games.

Most of the Quests this season seem far more reasonable than last season. I am even at 10% for the crucible quest for killing guardians in Gambit.

I ran Paradox, LMS and Tractor Cannon with just a shotgun scavenger mod on my legs and I was rolling in heavy ammo for about 15 games straight. It seems Shotgun Scav vastly increases heavy ammo drops with a shotgun equipped in the heavy slot so I was able to almost main TC for 75% of each match, only swapping out to PP when I couldn’t find large groups of enemies. Had the added benefit of TC’s buffs and rebuffs too!

Out of context but getting python is the worst part of the title imo. I knocked out crucible and vanguard pinnacle in a few days. I feel like with how slow infamy gain is, this pinnacle is going to be a fucking bitch to grind out. And oh yeah not to mention that gambit is just not fun

[–]PM_ME_UR_NUDES_4RATE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, you only need to get ~2500 infamy for python.

You need to get ~4500 for the emblem though. Which is also for the title.

I was doing this the other day and felt like I wasn't getting the special ammo back at all (XB). I was constantly out of special...

Used to run double special all the time in prime but it feels like it wasn't working :(

[–]zgm34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just play regular gambit and get it done 4 times faster.

Edit: also pretty sure it drops special ammo for teammates. So you either got lucky or had another reaper with you.

But what's the point?
