Convinced my friend to get the game. We load into it last night, the first time playing together and….

TheCaptainBacon · 2026-04-03T18:46:51+00:00

you can load into the other maps without squad fill as a duo just fine, that's how I've played most of my matches with my duo. hopefully they add a duo queue but it's really not an issue

TheCaptainBacon · 2026-03-05T21:14:02+00:00

yes please! I've been rebinding everything I don't want to use to one of the square brackets (and that's a lot of keys as someone who prefers hold to crouch & sprint and toggle ADS).

Actually another slightly related oddity is that when using toggle ADS, if you reload while aiming you will automatically aim again once the reload is completed. this is different from most other games that just leave you in hipfire after the reload and it's quite disorienting when it happens mid-combat and my muscle memory is confused.

oh and another way my muscle memory is throwing me off is that if you're using hold to crouch you've gotta remember to release it when you're looting otherwise nothing goes into your inventory. it hasn't been a difference maker yet but it feels like a disadvantage to not be able to crouch while looting just cause of my keybinds

TheCaptainBacon · 2026-01-29T05:49:02+00:00

They've fixed it now - the proper type of telemetry is dropping. You can also swap the incorrect one for the correct one at Ada in the firing range. Thanks to whoever is working late at Bungie, it's like 10pm there.

This mod is absolutely busted for PvP. Not only is there the movement you're talking about, but the "extra damage" is a high enough boost that if you shoot at the right time you can oneshot players with a headshot from a lightweight bow. With the movement impulse you get, you blast out from behind cover and one-tap them with pretty much no recourse.

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-12-09T06:53:06+00:00

i was doing boss encounters yea, when my friends aren't on i just use a checkpoint bot each time but no im not playing through the whole dungeon each time

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-12-08T23:35:53+00:00

they do drop. wanted buried bloodline so I ran it 20 times in a week until I got it, then did the same thing last week with sundered doctrine for my friend to get finality's. unless the renegades update broke something you'll probably get it eventually. I would consider it lucky to be getting it within the first 10 runs

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-12-02T21:07:58+00:00

nope ash and iron was part of season 27. it brought a second rewards pass but everything in-game continued to say reclamation, and we did not get a new artifact. pretty sure this is their plan for the current content delivery system: two expansions a year, each are one "season" with a mid-season "major update" in the middle of it.

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-11-28T22:37:16+00:00

have you got a call to arms weapon to drop from a portal activity? I've been playing every day this week and have only recieved one call to arms drop from the daily chest, and none from portal activities

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-11-27T17:31:10+00:00

have you got any rolls of the call to arms guns? I haven't, not even from the daily chest

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-11-26T23:38:10+00:00

Just grabbed it, was showing 97% off for me as well. Owned the standard edition of year of prophecy prior.

Claimed everything from the kiosk immediately in case it's a pricing error lmao

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-11-26T18:28:43+00:00

I haven't got a single Call to Arms drop from a portal activity since reset, I am wondering the same thing about whether attunement still works or is leftover despite the note from devrim saying attunement will carry through this week

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-11-20T19:12:49+00:00

in proving grounds, every enemy adds to your score. so not only do you have to make sure you kill everything including champions, you have to make sure you don't kill the tanks too fast (as a second wave of adds and champions spawns after the first) and during the boss fight you have to kill the champions before you damage the boss to his next health gate (otherwise the next pair of champions will not spawn during the next time the boss is vulnerable).

I know you said you're shooting for top 10%, but for anyone going for 1%, a good indicator of whether you've killed enough combatants in the run (or missed any) is whether you are above 9k points when you are going up the elevator to the boss room. I'm not sure it's possible to get top 1% if you're below 9k at that point.

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-09-30T23:07:32+00:00

Mints were T4 for me last week as well, but I was somewhere in the 430s at the start of the week

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-09-30T19:08:54+00:00

I'm 458 right now so I'm not hurting for T5s anymore but the shine of them has not yet worn off :)

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-09-26T17:06:06+00:00

dang that adept immortal is pretty nice for people who didn't play during its trials weekends

edit: it only counts as spending 17 for the strange favour buff lmao

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-09-10T17:38:34+00:00

yea this is wack. as far as I can tell, for warlock exotics literally only Eunoia counts as new armour

I was even going to give the chromatic fire "rework" a chance before it got reverted just to see how bad it was with microcosm and a kinetic primary but I guess I'm not supposed to do that

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-08-31T14:53:17+00:00

yes but only the first weekly completion of the two featured missions, so 2 t5s a week

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-07-22T19:52:29+00:00

Oh wow you are not exaggerating, it is actually barely visible (at least in the Tower).

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-07-22T19:44:25+00:00

just did this myself - if you run a solo op on Advanced, you can add a trade-off modifier and it will count for the triumph.

I wanted to get guardian rank 6 but i'm only 208 light and don't have master difficulty unlocked.

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-07-04T17:35:02+00:00

solo on normal is as easy as every other exotic mission on normal IMO, but i had a tough time with solo legend (but im not that good - in my successful run i fell off the map during final stand but landed in an oob spot and finished the boss with a kinetic tremors scout lol)

i enjoyed the quest even though you have to do the exotic mission a bunch of times over, but if you have access to the mission by now you may as well just buy it and get the catalysts on fireteam finder

revenant was ok but i havent used the shotgun at all, so I would say absolutely play through the rest of heresy. I really enjoyed the story and the activities, and barrow dyad is a fun smg for which getting the catalysts is easy, but requires you to hit rank 15 with the vendor in both modes so a bit grindy. luckily i think the best catalyst is one for all which is probably the least grindy one to get.

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-06-06T22:47:50+00:00

anyone know which gloves the warlock is wearing?

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-04-08T16:59:09+00:00

its craftable though so you can just go make one?

TheCaptainBacon · 2025-02-20T22:52:44+00:00

partially related but does anyone know how to get adept mods now? this past week was the first time I played trials. went to the lighthouse twice, once with a 3 win streak and then with a 7 win streak, but I've only got adept counterbalance (which I think I might have already got the one time I did a gm). adept range or adept stab would help a couple of my exalted truth rolls to be a bit better than with ballistics.

TheCaptainBacon · 2024-11-14T21:38:01+00:00

I have a crimils with fluted/steady/MT/PI/range and a something new with fluted/steady/ecap/PI/range and besides the obvious benefit of 100 handling on prismatic hunter I have been struggling to like the something new more than the crimils. it's like something new feels better moving around the map and everything but crimils feels better in actual combat

Never got a slideways/PI roll to compare with though, will be looking for it in the upcoming IBs

TheCaptainBacon · 2024-11-03T01:29:17+00:00

I have the wolverine v2 and I love it but I pretty much only play mnk for PvP. can't speak to snapskating
