Incoming Shipments #2 or #3 – Zarinaea-D Relentless Tracker, Counterbalance, Rifled Barrel Partial Refund, Feeding Frenzy, Rifled Barrel None of the rolls are explicitly better than the others, but roll #3 has good synergy for both PvE and PvP. With Partial Refund and Feeding Frenzy, you’ll be keeping ammo in your clip for raids and strikes, encouraging you to keep firing and taking out enemies. Feeding Frenzy in particular makes up for the reload penalty of Rifled Barrel, and Rifled Barrel’s range boost is exactly what we want for this Auto Rifle. Honorable mention goes to Rank #2’s roll for

This week on Crucible Radio, the guys brought on Luminosity, a member of the championship team from the recent FarCognitions tournament. He’s a popular streamer and quite possibly the best player in the game right now; Lumi has some really good information that can help anyone up their game and start playing like the pros. [divider] Find a Crew The elite players are only as good as their team. Behind every great player is a great team, and challenging other great players can forge relationships that lead to a great team of your own. It’s also important to get along with your team,

The Ram: What You Can Live Through?

The Ram is an Exotic helmet for the Warlock that, among other things, increases the overall armor stat for the wearer. With the vast majority of strong PvP weapons had their damages slightly tuned down since the December Weapon Update, there is a surprising amount of both weapons and subclass abilities that it’s able to stand up to. Keep in mind that all 3 Warlock subclasses are all capable of hitting the same level of Max Armor via their own skill trees. Therefore, each Warlock subclass is capable of tanking the same things below (excluding the ones involving Radiance, as

Crucible Radio Ep. 30 – Recap (ft. Holtzmann)

01/13/2016 Bones Analysis Leave a comment

This week on Crucible Radio, Swain, Birds and Bones go in-depth on sidearms and bring on Holtzmann to talk loadouts, Trials of Osiris, Memento and diamonds in the rough. Are Sidearms Good? It’s becoming more common to see someone vouching for sidearms on forums and threads, but they still see a regularly low kill count in the Crucible. Are there more to the fast-firing pistols than previously thought? Let’s weigh the pros and cons. Pros: Pair well with lots of primaries – you can use a sidearm with a scout rifle, but maintain the short-to-medium range even better than a shotgun.

Incoming Shipments #1 or #3 – SUROS PDX-41 | Pulse Rifle Hammer Forged, Spray and Play, Lightweight/Hand-Laid Stock Perfect Balance, Icarus, Smallbore For PvE, Rank #1 is an easy choice because of Spray and Play’s reload bonus. This reload speed will allow you to do faster damage to bosses and clear out enemies quicker. Hand-Laid stock drastically increases stability, and Hammer Forged can compensate for the range you lose in return. If you want maximum range, use Lightweight instead for extra maneuverability. Rank #3 looks like the best we can get this week for PvP, but that means settling for
