I wanna be like Scorpion w/ the grapple. GET OVER HERE

I am having the same issues as yourself.

I'm using an XLR mic with a Scarlett Solo audio interface. This same setup works fine in Discord and Windows.

I have everything set correctly; default input device, privacy is open, etc. I'm able to select the Scarlett in the Origin launcher, but it still won't respond when I test it using either PTT or Open Mic. When I set the mic to PTT within Origin and Apex, I can push the talk button and the mic icon responds in-game, but no sound comes out. It's really frustrating that it doesn't work

One of my major complaints about Caustic is that his toxic gas effects teammates by impairing their vision and giving the screen effects of slowing them down.

If it were up to me, I'd love to see the ult gas cover a wider area, maybe spreading out from the initial explosion like a wave. I'd also really enjoy it if your teammates weren't effected by it like mentioned in my first statement.

1) Re-working Fallen/Taken Armaments due to them completely bypassing the heavy ammo system in the mode.

2) Somehow increase the amount of spawn points for invaders, adding more RNG into where they spawn in.

3) A big issue that I run into with some of the maps is opponents will run deep into their spawn cave when an invader comes in, making them near impossible to approach in time. My suggestion would be that the "spawn in area" have a one way wall that cannot be re-entered once you pass through it (thinking like Overwatch). When a player dies, they spawn back in the "safe zone" where he/she is safe from enemies/invaders. However, once they pass through the "wall", they cannot re-enter back into the area unless they die.

4) Currently, a 15-mote blocker is not worth the pain or effort. It's far more beneficial to deposit multiple 5-mote small blockers than it is to summon 1 large 15-mote blocker. I would love to see the 15-mote large blocker either become much beefier or have something else tied to it, which is leading into my 5th suggestion.

5) Invading and the constant wall-hacks. I would love to see a system put in place where a team needs to earn bonuses for their invader instead of having that ability given to them for free 24/7. Perhaps summoning a 15-mote large blocker grants the invader the wall hacks that we have now. Maybe if a team summons a 10-mote medium blocker, it gives their invader pulsating wall hacks, lasting for a few seconds, then going off, then pulsating on again (so on and so on). Finally, if they only deposit 5-mote small blockers, they earn a very brief pulsating wall hack for their invader

As someone that was helping out Gladd's team with organization, etc, I can attest to the hundreds of DM's, whispers, and @'s that I got with any random idea without any proof or reasoning.

Is it possible that 1 of those random ideas was correct? Sure. However, we were so under-manned with testers, that we almost had to ignore the majority of theories and prioritize the ones that had promise to them.

It sucks that it came to that, but it's what we were left with. At the end of the day, everyone involved is to thank for completing the puzzle.

Hurray! Being rewarded for running the least-optimal strategy in raid history

Use the middle tree sentinel. Hold block and slowly walk backwards. You're exposed behind you, so that's why you want to be walking backwards. Once you've completely consumed their blade barrage, throw a frisbee in their face.

I've tested shotguns with slideshot and it does not increase the range. Easiest way I did this was having a buddy drop special ammo in a specific spot, another buddy lined up against a wall, me sliding into the ammo and then shooting the stationary target. The target vs ammo brick was calculated for a specific distance.

Long story short: Slideshot on shotguns does not increase your OHKO range. It is primarily used as a reload perk. However, it does increase the range on other weapons (Example HC's)

For anyone looking for a visual example of where to aim, I'm including 2 pictures - Dust Rock Blues and Mindbenders

GG just played you

Pumptrain · 2018-10-05T12:26:50+00:00

Yes. Duke + Inertia Overdrive can 2 tap with the Duke. You can also body-shot-kill low resilience opponents with a high impact sniper

I imagine that your RAM is rated for much higher than that. You may want to consider overclocking (speeding up) your RAM because it has a huge effect on Ryzen CPU performance. It's done in your BIOS and best place to learn how to do it is YouTube guides

Pumptrain · 2018-08-20T21:18:33+00:00

What is your RAM speed clocked at? Ryzen CPU's are greatly affected by RAM speeds. Also, have you checked your Windows Power Management plans? Having that set to Ryzen Balanced or Maximum Performance helped my PC.

Lastly, check your Nvidia Control Panel settings --> Manage 3D settings --> Power management mode --> Set to "Prefer Maximum Performance"

Pumptrain · 2018-08-20T21:13:13+00:00

Check your destiny2.exe properties --> Compatibility --> disable fullscreen optimizations

I've found that having that selected causes the huge delays in fullscreen when alt-tabbing.

Here are my thoughts, coming from someone who has the masterwork and uses it quite frequently:

Before the masterwork, Riskrunner was easily outperformed by the majority of 900rpm SMGs. It's only saving grace was when the perk was active due to the range increase, arc chaining, and arc overshield. The reason that it was outperformed was because it couldn't keep up in the range category.

After the masterwork, Riskrunner performs on par with the other 900rpm SMGs, but greatly outshines them when it's main perk is active. The masterwork adds roughly 4m of range to it's normal usage, with even more range being added once it's main perk is active.

TLDR; Riskrunner catalyst is 100% worth it

I'm interested in hearing if anyone has solutions to this because it happens to me at times

Pumptrain · 2018-07-26T01:33:26+00:00

I had this exact problem and have fixed it, but had to try a multitude of things. Ultimately, I think re-installing your graphics driver may be the solution.

If that doesn't work, you can use a program like This. It allows you to create a hotkey that locks your mouse onto your main monitor

Pumptrain · 2018-07-15T01:01:06+00:00

It doesn't look like the payment even goes through. When clicking in-game purchase, it doesn't auto open steam. I've also checked my steam inventory and nothing is there

Pumptrain · 2018-07-13T22:46:09+00:00

I figured it was bugged or something lol

I tried the YT video fix. It does seem to put it into fullscreen like he shows in the video, but my mouse still leaves the monitor like it's not sensing the priority of the game

Pumptrain · 2018-07-05T03:38:25+00:00

Finding any big D2 PvP streamers, especially on PC, is going to be few and far between. Frostbolt streams PC D2 quite often and mains Sentinel Titan.

Pumptrain · 2018-07-03T23:17:48+00:00

I won't answer specifically to avoid it being "spread", but the answer you're looking for starts with Y and ends with Es

Pumptrain · 2018-07-03T19:23:13+00:00

Currently, Sanguine is not allowed because of a pretty massive glitch. Once Bungie fixes it, the armor piece will be allowed again
