08/22/2016 Brent S Analysis Leave a comment

In today’s GameInformer article, lead raid designer at Bungie Gavin Irby, dropped some details on what players can expect from the newest raid, the difficulty of Wrath of the Machine, as well as how players have emerged victorious by using tactics the development team didn’t account for. Make sure you’re ready for this new raid by following our preparation guide! [divider] Wrath of the Machine King’s Fall and Vault of Glass will forever be remembered for the amount of coordination it took for a group to execute the encounters mechanics successfully. Crota’s end took a different approach and felt like the

Item Class Subclass Strange Coin Invective 17 Legacy Helm Engram 29 Helm of Saint-14 Titan Defender 13 Bones of Eao Hunter Any 13 Voidfang Vestments Warlock Voidwalker 13 Invective Invective is another example of Exotic done right. It is dark and imposing, with subtle orange accents and a pleasing sight that leaves plenty of visibility when ADS. There are no unnecessary frilly accents or cumbersome spikes, just sleek, compact power. This weapon has gone from being overpowered to under-appreciated, and everywhere in between. Right now, it sits as a fantastic option for those willing to embrace its charms. The combination

Contributing Author: Alex R. None – Hakke Zarinaea-D Surrounded – Focused Fire – Snapshot / Fitted Stock / Smallbore Last Resort – Spray and Play – Snapshot / Hand Loaded / Smallbore Last Resort – Persistence – Snapshot / Speed Reload / Rifled Barrel We want something much better than what the Gunsmith has for us this week. Last Resort is really killing a lot of rolls, and we’d be happy if it was out of the perk pool. If you’re willing to wait, look out for Counterbalance, Rangefinder or Feeding Frenzy combined with Hot Swap or Army of One.

New Exotics, Armor & Ornaments!

We saw a ton of new stuff in the stream and ViDoc today. Here are a few more gear updates we were able to glean from the stream: First off, Bungie showed us a clip of the new SIVA themed Exotic Pulse Rifle first described in the Game Informer Article a few weeks back, and assuming nothing changes before launch it works as advertised. That is, on a Precision kill, a swarm of red SIVA bolts shoots out and seeks nearby enemies. This thing looks seriously fun to use, and probably can do a real number on groups of enemies because

Item Class Subclass Buy? Strange Coin Super Good Advice 23 Legacy Special Weapon 31 The Taikonaut Titan Any 13 Young Ahamkara’s Spine Hunter Gunslinger 13 Starfire Protocol Warlock Sunsinger 13 [divider] The Taikonaut Reminiscent of the human astronauts who first discovered the Traveller on Mars, the Taikonaut’s old-school vibe brings with it a handy exotic perk. If a Launcher lacks tracking, Taikonaut adds it for no charge whatsoever. Dragon’s Breath pairs well with this helm. However, if you’ve got a G&H baby that needs that little edge in PvE, the Taikonaut does nice things. It also increases the rate of Heavy Ammo

24 Things We’re Excited About in Rise of Iron

08/10/2016 Jonathon V Analysis One comment

The Rise of Iron news continues! Game Informer released their hands-on impressions, and here’s our recap: Wolves! It seems that Bungie actually consulted with wolf conservation groups before adding them in-game in order to make them as authentic as possible. Some of the wolf sounds we’ll hear may actually have been provided by real wolves cared for by these groups. Movie Making Artifacts! Eververse will soon be selling special cosmetic artifacts that alter your in-game camera filter with various tints, including sepia, blue, and a few others. We can’t wait to get our hands on them, or to see how the community at

#1 or 3 – Zarinaea-D Hot Swap, Persistence, Braced Frame Army of One, Counterbalance, Braced Frame Simply put, this gun will fire like a beauty. Hot Swap and Persistence will team up to raise accuracy for precise aiming in both PvE and PvP, while Braced Frame’s massive stability boost helps for all types of content. This is a solid pick this week if you want a simple Auto Rifle that shoots smoothly. #3 – Eirene RR4 Triple Tap, Single-Point Sling, Life Support This is a solid roll for PvE with Triple Tap’s ammo bonus and Life Support’s clutch potential. The Eirene

Breakdown of Secret Round & Headseeker

08/09/2016 Mercules904 Analysis Leave a comment

Secret Round: Missing a shot in a burst grants a 4th round. Rumors: The fourth shot that is fired will count as a hit if any previous shot was a hit. If all three shots hit (crit or body) only two will be subtracted from the mag. This is confirmed false. What it actually does: If you miss any shot in a burst, or all of the shots, a fourth shot will be fired at the end of the burst. The shot is not subtracted from the magazine, but it does add on to the time it takes to fire the
