Fro99ywo99y1 explains how he has mastered SRL! How did you get started in Destiny? What do you do when you’re not setting world records in SRL? I’ve always been a fan of the Halo games and thought I’d give Bungie’s new game a try. Little did I know it would quickly become one of my favorite games of all time. I’m currently a college freshmen looking to major in computer science so life can get busy at times, but luckily SRL lined up perfectly with my winter break. The GameCube version of Mario Kart was my first video game ever

Buried in the snowy ground beneath the Winter Cosmodrome’s perpetual blizzard, the Devil Splicer’s proving ground glow with an eery red light. We’ll have to explore the Plaguelands and fight our way into the Fallen’s burning fortress to gain entrance to this player activated public event, but you can’t show up to the party empty-handed. Once we complete the main storyline missions, Devil Splicers on patrol will begin randomly dropping SIVA offerings, of varying quality and types, and those are what we need to collect. Bungie indicated that there are a wider variety of SIVA offerings than Runes, and that the

5 Great Custom Game Types

On Tuesday, following the MLG Destiny Showcase and our first look at the future of competitive shotgunning, Bungie announced the PVP feature we’ve been waiting for is now available! You can’t mess with things like gravity and sprint speed, but you can select game type, map, score, time limit, and a host of other options. There’s also Dead Ghosts to find! While this certainly paves the way for an it’s-really-happening competitive Destiny scene, it also means we can now invent our own zany game types to play with our friends. And that, in my humble opinion, is the best part.

Weekly Exotic Roundup: The Last Word

12/20/2016 Case Analysis Leave a comment

Each week, a specific Exotic weapon will be used in every activity of Destiny. We’ve inspected Touch of Malice, Universal Remote, and now TLW! The Last Word This Exotic Hand Cannon drops from the usual avenues (3 of Coins, Xur, Engrams, etc.). Like Universal Remote, this weapon sees most of its usage in the Crucible, which makes it that much more enjoyable to take it for a spin in PVE! Pros: Looks like it came straight out of the old west (or Westworld), sweet target acquisition from hip fire, high fire rate, the TWIRL! Cons: Small magazine drains super-quick with full-auto, slow reload

Hey everyone, Dukaness here with Part 2 of my mini viability series for the Gunslinger after the June update. Part 1 discussed the grenades, and the final article will cover modifiers. This episode is focused on Throwing Knives and their available modifiers. Click here to read the Gunslinger grenade guide! [divider] Throwing Knives As I’m sure most of you know, Throwing Knives were nerfed in the June update. They did 158 damage to the head, which is now 142 damage. The 10% nerf, which accounts for 16 damage, is about half a bullet or less from a body shot with

Weekly Exotic Roundup: Universal Remote

Thanks for reading another Exotic Roundup! Last week, Touch of Malice. This week we’re taking an extended look at Destiny’s primary shotgun. My skills will be tested; my commitment will be pushed to its breaking point; my wife will be just… so done with this crap. But I will persevere! Universal Remote This is a shotgun that you equip to your primary slot. It obtains ammo at the same rate as your other primaries. You pop into Crucible with everything you need. Shotgun + Fusion! And unlike No Land Beyond, it’s easy to use. Universal Remote’s Year 2 version drops

Q&A for a Returning Guardian

DeeJ recently sat down with Red Bull’s Adam Mathew for an interview about the upcoming Rise of Iron release. Here’s the highlights! Mathew: When I was a veteran going into TTK, I can distinctly recall thinking “I’ve put hundreds of hours in, and I deserve to have that time respected – Bungie had better not hand the newcomer kinderguardians the same level of power for not much effort”… The spaceboot is completely on the other foot for me now. Here I sit, eyeing my three 320(ish) guardians, and thinking “man, I hope Bungie will give me a leg up into Rise

Weekly Exotic Roundup: Touch of Malice

Hi! Welcome to a new segment where we take the most niche Exotics for a test drive through all aspects of Destiny. We’ll lay out the raw, unadulterated, (unbridled?) results of the experiment for your consideration and/or condemnation. My skills will be tested; my commitment will be pushed to its breaking point; my wife will be just… so done with this crap. But I will persevere! So buckle up, and ride with me on this prodigious voyage during my free time.. and perhaps some on the weekend if I don’t already have plans.
