Fam.... Iron Banner is for leveled up characters. Light Level matters there.

If you 1200, you gonna be fighting people that are 1250-60 and barely damaging them. I wouldn't even step into Iron Banner until you are at least 1230 or so...
Oh I know. That's why I was saying I fukked up but not having my characters leveled up beforehand. I'm already at the point of the quest where I need precision kills and already finished all four bounties of for my main character. I think I only need 10 headshots and got three already so might as well finish it.

For the scout rifle kills, use talons of the eagle, I believe that is the iron banner scout rifle if you haven't upgraded symmetry or night watch

Hand cannon kills use crimson or last word, unless you're good with hand cannons

I'm using the seventh carbine for the precision kills, horror story or braytech that upgraded will do too, as well as forward path, I'm sure by now scathelocke, tigerspite, and valkaydn are sunsetted, by would work too. Or join the herd and use gnawing hunger

Yeah, the Red War campaign got pulled, and some of the locations in that storyline got vaulted. I think it's a better experience for new players, since there's less of an on ramp to get to the point where you can start doing current stuff.
From a value stand point I don’t like that they removed stuff. I actually liked that campaign a lot. They could have created a legacy playlist and kept it moving. Don’t really see the need to completely remove it from the game.

I agree, from a value standpoint.

But, from a user experience and quality of life standpoint, I get it too. They were locations that were going mostly unplayed and unused (and hated by most of the players in the case of Mercury). Also, the size of the game was getting absurd. shyt was damn near 150GB, and was only going to keep growing. Something had to give at some point.

And the onramping thing is a real problem. Getting yourself from the opening to current expansion takes forever, and is confusing as fukk. We even get folks who aren't new that have just missed a season or year or two checking in in here to figure out where to start.

That being said, fukk all that, I'm tryna play that mission on the Almighty where you have to avoid getting incinerated by the sun again. That would be piff on PS5.

You should play gambit too, they got some decent weapons you missing out on

Also, be patient, its only the first season who know what weapon drops they will add in later seasons

Playing solo, aren't you?

If so, I know your pain. :mjcry:

On top of all that, motherfukkers acting like you can ONLY deposit if you've got 15 motes. Or, better yet, sitting on 11-12 motes when they know the invasion portal is up. :martin:

Solo Gambit is the reason why I finally understand that there's no matchmaking for Raids.

If you can't get three other dummies to play an objective as simple as Gambit's, there's ZERO hope for getting through the first encounter of a raid.

A lot of players are just in those playlists for bounties / quests or whatever so I don’t even feel any type of way about it but I can see why people trying to get shyt done would be upset :ld:

But that being said, when you solo and playing against a 4stack and win :wow:

tbh you can dominate a game solo with the right build and most players are trash so it evens out...

nah they had too many destinations making the gaming bloated and unnecessarily large. shyt was like 100+ gigs at some point. Plus the world is empty when mfs are so scattered in 50 locations doing random shyt, they should be timed and disappear IMO.

I agree with it but I can see how people wouldn’t :yeshrug:

Unlike Gambit, all there is to do in a raid is to complete the raid. No "competition" aspect, either. If they suck, boot them and get someone else.

The best is when your teammate has enough motes to deposit to get a Primevil and he runs by without summoning, just to get some more motes.... :martin:

Meanwhile the Drifter is yelling::damn:

Drifter : You have enough to summon a Primevil..:damn:

Drifter : Deposits your motes you can summon a Primevil:damn:



Drifter : Other team has summon their Primevil!:damn:

10 Second go by....


Drifter : Enemy Primevil is done. Better luck next time.:dame:

I got to europa is empty,cosmodrone is empty:mjlol: bruh like really it the two new planets or locations they added are just as empty...

BRUH.

shyt like that had me looking for my headset one time so I could cuss a motherfukker out. I'm usually not one to get worked up over a game, but they really do go out of their way to make it evident that you need to bank ASAP.

Yeah, since I don't play all that much these days, my Gambit trips are also primarily to complete bounties or quest steps, but I at least try not to be a detriment to any team.

Actually, I haven't played Gambit since Beyond Light launched, but I imagine with them streamlining it to kill the need for the specialized armors, it's probably a little easier to run against a stack of you're good enough, and your teammates are competent.

That rush of getting a last second DPS burst to knock off a squad that thought they were gonna luck up on squashing randoms, though. :wow:
