You get gear every time you clear an instance and kill a boss

I got 3 drops yesterday and would have gotten another if we finished

Getting your reputations up and buying your gear is the easiest way. Get 100 marks a week and you can easily get to vanguard rep 2 in a day or so

I'm just going to accept that I'll never reach 30 in this game, because I'm not going to sit and farm chests and loot drops for 5 god damn hours a night.

Once you hit 26 use Destinylfg.com and find a group running the Raid. You'll get gear

Just picked up a Legendary Engram while doing a bounty that turned into a Legendary Rocket Launcher and also got to Vanguard rank 3 which awarded me with a random Legendary weapon which was a sniper rifle. I made out good tonight. All I need is a primary, which I'll buy if I have to.

Both the rocket launcher and sniper do void damage too.

True review, so honest it hurts.

Even though I got those drops tonight I'm bored as fucking hell already.

[VmaxEngage]

Most of that $500 million went into marketing prolly.

Well good thing about the new event is every time you finish a mission you get a leg

Do a bounty for the queen, get a kill order mission. You can do up to 5 a day, so that is 5 legs a day that you can keep or salvage for mats. Pretty good event

The damn missions are pretty hard solo

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

yea fuck this. you def need a group to do the missions. It's on Epic so everytime you enter a different area during a mission the modifiers change

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

Sounds fun. I'll actually play some now if those are decent.

I stopped last night to watch the first two episodes of the ultimate fighter. Didn't play much at all.

[VmaxEngage]

An easy way to knock to those missions out, you can go back to orbit and when you go to to the mission again you will get a different one.

I had to keep shuffling until I got Shrine of Oryx or Restoration. Knocked out 3 so far, gotten 2 leg chests and one helm. An easy to get gear for you girls

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

So, how do you get missions for her, do you just do bounties? Or does that side bar icon unlock eventually?

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

Nevermind, saw it unlock after turning in the first bounty.

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Anyone want to play tonight and do some of these Queen's Wrath level 24 missions to get Legendary shit?

Could try the Nightfall strike for this week as well, seeing as I have a fully upgraded Solar special and heavy to use. The boss would be easy using the method below also.

Soloing the Weekly Nightfall/Heroic Strikes (self.DestinyTheGame)

submitted 10 hours ago * by xSweatySockZz

So this weeks Nightfall/Heroic Strikes are The Nexus, and it's by far the easiest of the Strikes, and you definitely want to do the Nightfall first thing because of the XP gains you get from completing it. I did the Nightfall first and got the 500 Vanguard Rep from it, then done the Heroic Strike and got 499 Vanguard Rep from it, which meant that within an hour I had 999 Vanguard Rep, 25 Vanguard Marks, 9 Strange Coins and a random reward from the Nightfall within an hour.

It's important to note that this week's Strikes have Solar Burn, so if you have Solar weapons, bring them!

Here is the build I used to take the Strikes on. I switched to my Sunsinger subclass for the safety net of the Radiance ability to self-resurrect, if you can do the same then I suggest you do so to make it easier on yourself, if you're a different class, then you're just going to have to take it slow and steady and play it smart. Note that you don't have to have your weapons at a high number of damage to be able to do this, as long as they are Solar then you should be good, even against the Captains and their Arc Shields.

NOTE: You should always be topped up on Ammo packs as a rule of thumb, if you are not, then it's time to spend that Glimmer at the Gunsmith and buy some, they are worth their weight in gold!

To start out, run past the enemies by spawn until you get into the Respawn Restricted area, once here you're gunna want to wait in this corridor until the Fallen start pouring out, it is important to note that you can stay in this corridor for cover if you start getting low on health, the enemies didn't once rush in and try to finish me. Take your time in dispatching them, there is no rush. The Servitors will start to spawn along with more Fallen, if you have a Solar Heavy Weapon (ideally a Rocket Launcher) then now is the time to use it to quickly get rid of them and focus on the smaller enemies.

Once that first section is done, head up the stairs into the room full of Vandals, be wary of the 3 Vandals that do come down the stairs with swords. I had a spare Rocket for the Vandals in the room which quickly finished them, but if you do not then just camp the door way and pick them off one by one.

With the Vandals gone head to the next area, where you'll come up against Fallen and some Vex Goblins, this firefight is pretty straight forward, just hang back in a safe area and pick them off, no need to take any unnecessary risks. Once cleared head down and fight off the 3 Harpys. Be careful of the Goblins that spawn in this room, a good number of them will spawn so make sure to deal with them before you head out into the open area with all the Vex.

Once in the open area with the Vex, immediately kill the Goblin's ahead of you, then focus your attention on the 2 Hobgoblins at the other side of the room, try to kill them as quickly as you can before the Minotaurs get close to you. Once the Hobgoblin's are done, fight off the Minotaurs and head down to more Goblins around the corner. For this area I used a Heavy ammo pack and used Rockets to kill the enemies here, as I didn't want to get sniped or swarmed by enemies.

Head through the darkened tunnels until you hit the famous Nexus farming spot. I saved my ammo by using 2 Solar Grenades here and picked off whatever Goblin's were left. Don't charge in at this spot as it's surprising how fast all the Goblins can take you down. Once clear, head to the Nexus boss, but whatever you do, DO NOT JUMP DOWN!!

IMPORTANT: While you are up here, you'll have to keep an eye on your motion sensor as one Minotaur will spawn behind you every 30 seconds or so, this is a poor anti-camping method that can easily be dealt with if you keep an eye on your motion sensor. Also note that you can run back to the area where the Goblins spawned to wait down your Ammo pack cooldown in safety, as the Minotaur will not spawn if you are here.

On top of this cliff is where you are going to stay until you've killed the boss. To summon him, you need to kill all the Minotaurs in the area. Use whatever method you see fit to dispatch them, but be wary as they can start shooting at you if they are directly below you. Once all the Minotaurs are killed, the Nexus will spawn and the Rocket spam begins. Solar Rockets made this fight finish within 5 minutes, but you can use other Solar weapons on the Nexus but at a higher risk. Keep shooting/bombing the Nexus while remembering to deal with the Minotaur that spawns behind you until the Nexus is dead, it's as simple as that!

Congratulations Guardian, you've done the Nightfall/Heroic Strikes by yourself!

Nightfall shit is ridiculously insane even to get to the end.

[VmaxEngage]

We may be able to do this with 3 people if we can get to this spot, supposedly if we go to the sides of the cliff and drop down we end up behind this wall. Have one person sit in the middle to revive the other 2 when they die

Dude, that first video I posted IS the place in the one you posted...and it shows how to get their, fuck yeah.

Yeah dude, I watched it twice and that is for sure the same place.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

If it's just you and I we can alternate doing damage/staying in cover so at least one of us is always safe and can revive the other. If we have a third then the better.

[VmaxEngage]

We did it


and I get fucked over...
