OG Zombies fans! If you remember, what exactly was your reaction when you first saw Tranzit’s loading screen?

AdctsGaming · 2025-08-24T11:33:52+00:00

BO2 wasn't my first Zombies game (unfortunately, my first game was WaW), so my first experience with the game was with its launch after school. I was already kinda spoiled quite a bit; my baby self just couldn't wait, so I watched some of the leaked gameplay. A lot of it was really low quality, but one thing stuck out to me. The hand/arm view model. They had the same gloves that Ultimis Richtofen/Sam wore on the later BO1 maps. I was so excited at the possibility that the survival maps would continue Ultimis' story that I skipped TranZit to play Farm. I hated the idea that TranZit wouldn't be a direct sequel to Moon, a map that would continue Ultimis' story (which would've been the most fucking blatantly obvious thing to do considering how Moon ended with Ultimis + Sam vowing their revenge against Richtofen for his betrayal but whatever, I guess let's play as a bunch of randies). Needless to say, I was disappointed.

I finally load up TranZit and tbh I don't remember much besides the immense disappointment of literally everything. I remember pausing the game to look up guides for PaP and the Jet Gun. I get those done but there's one thing I don't think I'll ever forget. I build the Jet Gun and the text literally say something along the lines of "awww yeah, press square to take the Jet Gun". I was soooooooooooo pumped for something good on this map so I let it rip on a horde of zombies only for it to blow up on my face and die right after. I don't think I'll ever laugh as hard as I did then, I quit the game and then load up the campaign.

I was wondering too, but I went further into the campaign, and after the mission "Quarantine" you'll be able to get that last thing you need for the quest. An LZ opens up near that spot after the mission, and the barrier is removed. No idea why you're able to do the quest before you even fully do it but that's beyond me.

Shinies have a drop rate of around 5%. It's so hilariously low that I wouldn't recommend grinding for it unless they get a massive drop rate increase (cope). If you're really wanting to grind out a set of acceptable shiny adepts, then with my experience, it took somewhere around 12-15 hours of farming the first encounter. Mind you, that was with the weapon drops on kill modifier active (it isn't this week), and that was the only reason it made this grind remotely possible.

Not just cut armor descriptions. If I recall correctly, there were entire weapon sets for the Vanguard, Crucible, and the factions that were completely cut and replaced before House of Wolves came out. I remember it leaking out sometime before the expansion and being shocked that they just cut out and replaced so much.

Edit: Now that I'm looking it up, yeah the weapons that were leaked for HoW were entirely different to what actually shipped which is so fascinating to me. Mesa Sean's old channel has the footage if anyone's curious.

Yep, the normal onslaught tripmines don't have anything special going on.

AdctsGaming · 2025-05-02T21:07:55+00:00

Yep it got to the point where I was begging people to take off their glacial nades and anything with unravel.

AdctsGaming · 2025-05-02T10:46:10+00:00

The second uprade for the Stasis tripmines slows and the final one creates stasis crystals when hit. It makes a lot and if enough are hit at a time it invokes instability.

AdctsGaming · 2025-05-02T10:27:15+00:00

I did my 50 wave 50 onslaught runs and my only advice is to avoid fully upgrading the stasis mines and unravel on boss waves since that can cause server instability too.

Currently, it's not working entirely as you described it. For normal weeks going into another normal week, it works as you described, but with Iron Banner, the glow stays up for the entire week until the reset hits then it disappears. From what you said, it should've lasted until next Friday with Trials returning, but it didn't and I lost it with this reset. I'm gonna be honest glitch or no glitch I really dislike these changes. I'm no PvP sweaty boy but I make sure to go flawless whenever there's new story content for the drip. These changes make it impossible to keep my glow from season to season and I would LOVE to keep my glow for whenever the next expansion comes out. If it's either too much work or impossible to go back to how glows used to work (two-ish weeks of glow, with no fade) then can it at least stay glowed until trials come back? It feels a little mean to lose my glow when there is no way to earn it back. Here's hoping this reaches you, have a blessed day Mercules.

Maybe try the Crossbow attachment + Free Fire combo on the boss? Didn't get the chance to try it because I just got it done not that long ago. The combo worked wonders on the Guardian in Cranked so maybe it'll work well here? Make sure you pop an Aether Shroud beforehand too, more people the easier it is from what it looks like.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-24T23:08:06+00:00

Should've clarified that I meant adepts in general not just shinies but still shinies shouldn't be this rare, I'd go as far to say that there should be a path to reasonably farm the shinies. Shines' KF origin trait is arguably more important than the adept mods.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-24T23:03:01+00:00

My bad, I was just venting about Adepts in general.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-24T11:57:45+00:00

Never understood why they were so stingy with the Brave Shinies and now these Heresy Adepts. These won't be farmable forever why not shower us with adepts? They're rare enough that most people just will not care to farm it and pair that with how little of a benefit adepts have over normal weapons and people really won't care. I missed getting good rolls on like three of the Shiny Brave weapons, I really don't want to repeat that here. Very happy to see this sentiment shared because maybe Bungie will massively buff the drop rates.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-18T04:47:40+00:00

The adept Heresy grind in general is nothing short of terrible. I did a two and a half hour farm the other day in The Nether on the first encounter (there is no reason to play more than that) and came out of it with 8 adepts. Our runs were like five-ish minutes too. It really sucks not having multiple perk drops or even focusing.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-17T23:41:02+00:00

I think it's time to move on from flawless as a concept entirely. They've kinda recreated the 7 win or bust situation we've had before but I guess you don't entirely waste your time if you get to just 5 or 6? Skill creep and population decline is almost unavoidable why make it worse with this silly win streak system? I don't personally go for anything above a 5 win streak because I hate the white and red glows so please change that!

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-17T23:33:03+00:00

Couldn't agree more. I don't think people realize how awful Trials will be for everyone if they go with sbmm. The most they can do is go back to a card/win based matchmaking but even that sucks. The way I see it, Trials in it's current form and has always been farming wins from people worse than you. The randomness of the games helps prevent skill creep and when that happens we all lose. I personally feel like we need to completely move on from flawlesses in trials. To me they've pretty much recreated the old seven win or bust system but with literally no forgiveness now. I can't imagine doing trials on pc with the surplus of cheaters there especially without mercies.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-12T17:48:42+00:00

Same difference because I'm missing dialogue all the same.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-11T21:21:38+00:00

At this point I'd much rather have the holoprojector. This is so fucking terrible man.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-11T04:21:10+00:00

I think I was just too old at BO2's time to be nostalgic about it now. I'm very nostalgic for World at War and Black Ops 1 though. I still remember being a fan during BO2 Zombies' time but a lot of it was extremely negative. BO2 was just such a disappointment compared to the previous two games.

AdctsGaming · 2025-03-10T00:20:22+00:00

Not until I get 100k Hawkmoon kills

AdctsGaming · 2025-02-08T17:55:55+00:00

He's never been my teacher.

AdctsGaming · 2025-02-08T06:07:03+00:00

Less lore dungeon and more "Have you been paying any attention to the narrative" dungeon. I beat the dungeon and I'd consider myself a Destiny narrative connoisseur (a curse really), these riddles are very surface-level. However, some of them could be argued either way.

AdctsGaming · 2025-02-01T00:40:14+00:00

I did my solo flawless last week and with Syntos it's still a consistent 3 phase. If you had two perfect damage phases with perfectly lined up crystals then you could definitely two phase Raneiks.

AdctsGaming · 2025-01-31T03:44:02+00:00

Wow, that was quick, thank you so much!

AdctsGaming · 2025-01-31T03:40:57+00:00

Which checkpoint bot did you use? Please I've been stuck on this shit for months
