The SUROS is easily the most accurate auto rifle in the game. The slow rate while aiming almost makes you feel like you're in a Max Payne type bullet time, where you get that extra instant to keep the gun under control. Plus, the bottom half bonus damage is the best of any other gun.

I do agree that it's a pain when you want to use the Ice Breaker too, but really, the Suros is so accurate that you don't usually feel like you need it. A legendary Fusion is a good match.

I did get my Epilogue fully upgraded, and such a beast once you get that stability upgrade.

And I finally got that third win!

I don't get this at all either. Like you said, you can just bring up the menu and swap weapons mid-strike, so why don't they just let you equip them at the same time?

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I am up to 13 strange coins so might be able to get my first thing from the weekend guy.

I am playing a level 24 Hunter at the moment. I have legendary arms which are decent. A legendary shotgun which is good but not super useful unfortunately.

And last night I got Bad Seed Down. Up to this point I have been a scout rifle guy so trying the pulse rifle has been pretty different. Is this a gun that is worth investing some supplies in to upgrade?

I'm in for sure. Shame we couldn't do it last night. I checked the list and saw several here just doing bounties, missions and strikes. I'm on around 5:30-6 Central but would like to get in the daily for both characters. I might be running with a friend who is getting his second character up so to have another in play with his primary one.

The best way to answer that is to use it. Weapon parts and planetary elements aren't hard to come by, so putting them in a weapon isn't much of a risk. By the time you get it to the last set of upgrades, you should known if you want to put ascendent energy into it. And even if you don't, you still get all the other perks the gun has.

What special perks does that gun have? My Bad Seed Down has active radar while aiming and reload is speeded up by getting kills. Sometimes, these perks can make or break a gun.

And I'm up for a Raid tonight too. Me and my fully upgraded Epilogue and Ice Breaker.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

It has the thing where the bottom half of each clip does extra damage. After that I think it has like rounds that reflect off surfaces and such.

Will play around with it... I just need a legendary scout rifle more.

Ah, I was just going to ask what Xur had in stock.

Where is he, btw?

Add my shit too: whysoblu


I have yet to go on a Raid or Vault of Glass mission, etc., so I will be the weak link until I get used to it. I'm on Pacific time, though.

Main Vanguard Hall (where you buy Vanguard armor), on the right side.

I'm also out west, so we have a mix of time zones that get together.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

You late night, high level guys, need to run me through the dailies/weeklies so I can level up and join you on the late night raids. It will benefit us both. I'm in CST but don't get on till 1030-11pm due to RL. Level 23 and slowly grinding Vanguard rep.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Paid Xur a visit but he wants 23 for the gun and I only have 12. I bought the exotic crypto thinking I'd get some fancy gauntlets from y hunter but ended up getting Sunbearers for a Warlock. Fuck.

As far as my Hunter goes here's where I'm at:

Level 26

Vanquisher VIII Autorifle at level 257 (primary legendary)
The Stranger's Rifle Pulse Rifle at Level 209 (primary rare)

Special Weapons are:

Purifier VII Fusion Rifle (legendary) 248
Silvered Caracas-LR4 (rare) 242

Heavy Weapons:

Steel Oracle Z-11 at 257 (legendary)
Unfriendly Giant at 257 (legendary)

I've got Exotic Helmet
Legendary guantlets, armor, leg armor, and cloak


A couple of guys, I assume from here, sent me invites. I've added you.

Is there an easy path to run on Earth to get spinmetal?

I just circle around The Steppes where you spawn for patrol and Mothyards .... there is plenty of spinmetal that will circulate around there and will likely get daily events pop up as well

there are also respawn loops like the following probably still active https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IItGyF7P86c

Try the Divide, there are probably 12+ chest spawning locations there and spinmetal shows up all over. Added bonus of having a public event every 30 mins. You can also do the infinite chest trick here too, although I have found it isn't infinite, max I could get it was 10 chests.

My Vanguard faction is almost Rank 2 and I have around 70 VG Marks from running PE's, bounties, and strikes. I only have about 7 Strange Coins and can never find a group to run the Weekly Nightfall during my playtime. Plus, my primary weapon sucks balls. I might as well throw rocks at the Vex or Cabal.

I'm guessing I have to keep grinding away on Vanguard Rep/Marks to buy a few pieces of Legendary armor to get me to 27-28?? Faction grinding is painfully slow and boring though.
Complete Vanguard Bounties. Level up your favorite rare weapons. Buy Legendary armor - Legs or arms and level that up next. I've had Legendary Chests and Primary weapons drop far more often than Legs or arms. I had plenty of strange coin drop in PvP and when turning in Engrams and leveling up cryptarch. Buy an exotic chest or helmet once you save up enough Strange coin. - All this made my rise from level 22 to 27 pretty quick.

I like farming skywatch, good mix of enemys, lots of places for chest to spawn.

I agree with this. I'll pick up Cosmodrome missions while running through the usual haunts for Spinmetal. I start off in the Steppes and make my way to the Divide. The divide seems to make for a more obvious circle for chests and spinmetal.
