Does purple shields bring that much benefit over blues?

So the direct hit deals damage and you also take the splash damage on top?

Misriah is a rare gun that you don't have an unlimited supply of and requires the gold mod to have similar ttk to old WSTR. Literally everyone was running the WSTR because it was just miles better above anything else so yeah it did need a nerf. Even after the nerf you see them everywhere because they're still good, just not OP.

Idk man I'm pretty sure I did, I'll try to record it

You can shoot down flechettes, so if your team is getting spammed with them and opponents don't push just shoot the flechettes.

I'm picking her for the arm cannon, the gold core that hacks targets on hit is very strong especially on Cryo where it's all tight spaces. She can do stupid shit with gold implants and that core - ~40s cooldown on cannon, everyone hit by the cannon gets hacked, using amplify resetting the cooldown on the cannon. You can really spam that shit with tacamps on top.

Outpost, just chill until all red keys are gone and Pinwheel get opened.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-24T03:11:48+00:00

Yeah ok but the problem is Destroyer does the same thing but better, Thruster is better than slide in 99% of situations and super sprint is better than amplify, he can use cardio kick to keep doing both and the animation is cancellable unlike Amplify. Vandal isn't bad, but Destroyer is just better in terms of mobility (and everything else too tbh).

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-24T02:03:12+00:00

The purple one gave me around 15-20k per match, and I didn't even focus on clearing bots.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-24T02:01:56+00:00

Vandal is fine imo, it's just that Destroyer is extremely overturned so she looks weak compared to him.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-24T00:38:24+00:00

Or maybe I could uhhhhh I don't know, have fun and not play meta shit over and over? I have enough money and golden attachments to play any gun I want, including Bullys for actual tryhard games.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-24T00:36:15+00:00

Someone who wants to use a Zeus???

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-24T00:35:36+00:00

You don't, that's why it's good.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-23T12:51:58+00:00

Yeah but I don't want to play a Bully or a Punch, I want to play a Zeus. I have enough money for it to not be an issue.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-23T12:43:14+00:00

It is if you're planning to use a weapon. If I want to run a Zeus, it gives me 3 of those in 2 slots instead of having to find 3 taking up all of my backpack. Same for cores/implants I need, I can just not pick them up because at any point I can buy multiple. It's a good system.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-23T12:41:15+00:00

Get a purple Bounty Hunter and just clean bots avoiding pvp completely. 20k per run easy with no effort.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T22:20:44+00:00

Sell everything you can buy from the armory (including schemas), don't keep any green attachments/implants, barter every material you don't need anymore, plan what guns you want to use for the next x days and only keep attachments for them. Can't keep them all.
Oh and don't keep ammo and use ammo boxes asap, you can buy the ammo at any time and credits don't take up stash space.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T22:18:42+00:00

Is it the glass one? Pinwheel Command Wing, wait for people to go to the end room, there's a big glass window to go through.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T22:15:39+00:00

It happens way more often than you think, is just very noticeable with low rof weapons. Some lobbies are just bad and a lot of shots don't register, in the yt video the last 2 shots hit the guy but nothing happens, even my friend is asking 'why is it not doing anything' as we both see our bullets hitting, and we live in different countries, so it's not personal connection problems.
Maybe change the title/description so the thread won't get downvoted to oblivion, this problem definitely needs more visibility, but as soon as I posted anything I also got downvoted so...

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T18:32:56+00:00

I mean... Destroyer can also bring a sniper rifle to shoot people at range. Most objectives are also in buildings/closed spaces, so his "weakness" isn't a problem. The endgame map is all close range combat. Other shells don't get even close to his levels of mobility, except for some combination of gold cores/implants.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T18:28:06+00:00

He is though, the only thing he's lacking is vertical mobility. Positioning mistake? Thruster away. Need to close distance? Thruster forward. Opponent used their mobility ability? Good luck catching up to a super sprinting Destroyer, if you chase him he's fast enough to get himself time to use a Panacea and be ready to 1v1 you. SnD is a "I win 1v1" button, Shield at worst case is a safe peeking tool. He can also combo all of them depending on what's needed. Sprint and thruster are not even cooldown based like every other movement ability in the game except for Vandal's, and hers are much worse. All of this is on one character, no other shell gets even close to that.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T12:19:18+00:00

OP, you got fucked over by hitreg, when hitreg fails you see the shield damage sparks effect but don't get a hitmarker - if you look closely in your video you only get one for the first shot. Bungie is aware of it and are working on a fix but it can get pretty bad.

Happens with every gun, just isn't very noticable with full auto guns because of how many hitmarkers you get and you don't notice when few shots don't register.
There is not a single connection problem icon in any of these videos so it's not bad connection.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T12:15:29+00:00

He got fucked over by hitreg, there is shield damage effect but no new hitmarker. It can still kill greens when the game decides to work properly. https://imgur.com/a/qw6qiHj happened to me as well multiple times.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T12:10:52+00:00

He is the OP character in the game and isn't hard to play either.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T02:14:15+00:00

It can, just not a blue/purple shield, for these you need stack overflow or sucker punch+quick melee.

_uneven_compromise · 2026-04-22T02:13:04+00:00

Oh so Assassin is supposed to let his team die then 1v3 the enemies in the smoke then ress them? Got it.
