Destiny: FIN

[Capp]

What do we do with the gunsmith 'prototypes' once we've finished them? Do we have to hold onto them for a week before handing them in somewhere?

[Weavus]

Keep em or shard them, you can't put them in the vault though so I imagine they will disappear next week and new ones will be available.

[berties paw]

Fuck virgin media, fault in my area and I keep dropping connection to the game servers.

Early night then.

[Moodmon]

Talking of the gunsmith, the perk on the pulse rifle to give better radar resolution is surprisingly good. Worked even better when I realised what was going on, and that my radar hadn't broken.

[KartoffelKopf]

Just played a game of Control on the new Bannerfall map. What a great map. Mych wider open areas with sniping ledges and some great stand-offs. Reminds me of the early CoD maps back when it was fun and just the sort of map that's been missing from Destiny. A real change from the usual corridor shotgun nonsense.

So you get the gunsmith rank when you complete them, and it's up to you if you want to keep them around? I figured I would have to hand in the completed 'bounty' or something.

[Capp]

Talking of Crucible, Suros is a very viable choice again Not sure I get along with Hard Light though and Necrocasm is still a piece of shit from my brief try.

[Jerec]

Its all so....shiney...

Did the Vault and the Oracles...were so bright.. so bright...

[dreamylittledream]

Right, got to rank 1 with the gunsmith... got feck all for it. Now to do it on the other two characters...

I seem to remember reading something about being able to order a weapon from him to be delivered next arms day or something like that when you ranked him up?

Anyway I rather like the pulse rifle - it'll be junk shortly no doubt but quite satisfying to use

[Weavus]

Yeah you should be able to order something from him next Wednesday if rank 1

[Mr Ben]

How did you get rank 1? Nightfall bonus, or just do all the guns?

I just tried out the Strangers Rifle in Crucible, and it seems to be a total beast. Was quite surprised considering I hadn't upgraded it at all.

[Gorf King]

Must be the Nightfall bonus. You'd not get to rank 1 without it - I did 3 out of 5 guns and got exactly half-way to level 1. Might do the NF with another character tomorrow and use him to test the guns out and rank up, just to cover myself.

Yup, each gun bounty gives 250 rep and 312 with nightfall. So make sure you do nightfall before doing them if you want to be rank 1 this week. No nightfall rep bonus from next week though. Completed them all on two characters so far... much easier the second time round.

[KYUSS]

What happened to A Touch of Malice?

Supposed to be Luke Smiths' favourite weapon in TTK but nobody's mentioned it when the list came out the other day.

Edit: found it!

The fourth horsemen isn't showing in my exotic blueprint terminal. It's the only one I sharded and haven't got again.

[Kryptonian]

Where is the exotic blueprint terminal?

[RareBirds]

The vanguard area underneath where the quest guy is. There are separate weapon and armour boards either side of the walkway through.

We're aware of an issue where Patrols and Faction-specific Quests are not granting the expected rewards upon completion. These rewards will be granted as expected for these activities starting on 9/15/2015. Patrols and Faction-specific Quests completed before this time will not retroactively grant rewards.

Apparently Vanguard subclass quests are faction quests. Turns out I should have got emblems and shaders for the subclass quests I finished along with the class item. They won't be retrospectively fixing any rewards that you should have got but didn't

[Marmite]

Right, so basically stop doing the abandoned quests? If I abandon them, I'm right to assume they will just go back in to that terminal by the Vanguard (I would be sure of this, but it's Bungie).

Annoyed about the gunsmith rep. I didn't realise the nightfall was dishing out a buff this week so had already started using the weapons. Guess I will have to go again on another character.

[V3zna]

I found a pack of Wolves on Mars. I could have sworn I read they were supposed to be no longer part of the gameworld?

They had no level and just had ?? instead. Obviously I ran off as they nearly one shot me.

[mechamonkey]

I think I'm just going to stay away till TTK launch now, don't want to bugger up anything else after losing the subclass emblems

So we should stop doing this if we are halfway through? Or restart after ttk altogether? Do you know?

[Dave White]

I dont know whats clicked but I cant turn it off, the new XP levelling is just so much better for idiots like me who gave up.

So this whole vault thing, do they still have to be done with 2 friends not randoms? If anyone fancies a crack at one i'd love to buddy up.

Won't we be able to redo them using the abandoned quests kiosk?

If so, a bit of a nuisance but not the end of the world.

I don't think I can be arsed to do any of them again, especially the 7 orbs x3 ones.

[bobontheway]

Fair enough. It's only emblems that you're awarded right?

The Faction quests reward something better, I imagine.

[sbrandon111]

I'm stuck on the voidwalker one, 7 orbs from a nova bomb in a strike.....three times. Any suggestions as to the best strike to do it on?

I did mine on Septic Prime, at the start turn around and goto the bunker with the 3 hive majors where the patrol starts. You might need to soften them up a bit first to make sure you kill all three at the same time. Once you have done that just leg it back and finish the strike. The undying mind strike also has a lot of majors you could do it on. If you do it with randoms don't hang about, even with two people you only have about 13 minutes if they are any good.

[sbrandon111]

Ah! that's the one place I regularly get 7 orb kills, never thought to find it as part of the strike!

Sepiks on Earth. I think it was Lyrial Donut who posted this a handful of pages back.

Start Sepiks and ride back all the way to where you start the patrol. Nearby is an entrance to an underground area where 3 yellow enemies roam. Kill all 3 at the same time and you get 7 orbs. If you are online now, toss me an invite and I'll help.
