Click here to learn of all the ways to get them. [divider] Truth Truth’s statistics are excellent in the areas that matter (blast radius, velocity, reload), which makes this updated Y1 Exotic all the more enjoyable to use. “Grenades and Horseshoes” + “Prototype Trueseeker” are perfect perks when paired together, and is a very

Contributing Author: Alex R. Incoming Shipments #2 or #3 – SUROS ARI-41 | Auto Rifle Perfect Balance / Appended Mag | SPS / HandLaid Stock | Private Eye Perfect Balance / Feather Mag | Snapshot / HandLaid Stock | Hipfire Fitted Stock / Appended Mag | Snapshot / Rifled Barrel | Private Eye Weak! The ARI-41 boasts about “Balance. Flexibility. Style.” Unfortunately, we didn’t see any of that today, and I am recommending a pass. If you have your heart set on picking up a decent Auto Rifle though, at least Roll 2 will let you down gently. At the end

3v3 Tactics & Best Subclasses

In the wake of the amazingly successful Podcast Playoffs vs. Planet Destiny, Crucible Radio has really narrowed in on their competitive loadouts. [divider] 3 Best Subclasses for 3v3 | 26:22 Striker Titan The Arc Titan subclass has always been a staple in the Crucible, but in the current state of the game there is little one can do to stop a Striker. Titan “skating” wasn’t always the norm, but the technique is now almost required for running the hyper-fast, hyper strong subclass. Lightning grenades have always been one of the most effective grenades because of their ability to both deny

Xur is located across from the Speaker. Item Class Subclass Buy? Strange Coin Exotic Helmet Yes 19 Legacy Exotic Gauntlet 29 The Taikonaut Titan Any Yes 13 Skyburners Annex Hunter Any Maybe 13 Claws of Ahamkara Warlock Any Maybe 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

Contributing Author: Alex R. [divider] Of all of these weapons, the JLB-47 is the only upper tier PVP choice, although the JLB-42 is pretty close – like a prescription from a questionable mail order pharmacy, it’ll get the job done. Just ignore that drywall aftertaste. The ARI-45 goes down smooth, but loses out to high rate of fire Auto Rifles in close quarters engagements, and to lots of guns at mid and long ranges – it’s simply not competitive. The Häkke Shotguns have some great perks available, but the Jingukogo only has 3 rounds, and like the Japanese Empress it

Xur is located in the Tower Hangar entrance. Item Class Subclass Buy? Strange Coin Exotic Gauntlet Engram 19 Legacy Y1 Helm 29 Peregrine Greaves (39/57 INT, 41/59 STR) Titan Striker No 13 Celestial Nighthawk (33/48 INT, 33/48 DISC) Hunter Gunslinger Yes, PvE 13 Obsidian Mind (60/75 INT) Warlock Voidwalker Yes 13 [divider] Peregrine Greaves These boots are great in two situations: Super and Ram counter-play. A Striker using a Shoulder Charge on a Radiant Sunsinger, Arc Blade-wielding Bladedancer, or max-Armor Warlock with the Ram Exotic Helmet will be able to take down these deadly foes before they can wreak havoc on a vulnerable team.

Incoming Shipments Any – SUROS DIS-43 | Scout Rifle Fitted Stock, Spray and Play, Hand-Laid Stock Perfect Balance/Casket Mag, Rodeo, Lightweight/Reinforced Barrel Fitted Stock/Oiled Frame, Outlaw, Speed Reload/Rifled Barrel #1 is about as good as it can get for PvE, #2 may be better for PvP, and #3’s Outlaw perk is hard to pass up. Spray and Play, as usual, is one of the best perks for those situations where you want to lay as much damage into a boss as possible and then get to your next clip as quickly as you can. Hand-Laid stock and Fitted stock will boost stability
