Published on: Nov 25, 2015 @ 07:35 Incoming Shipments #1 or #2 – Zarinaea-D | Auto Rifle Crowd Control, Counterbalance, High Caliber Rounds/Speed Reload/Rifled Barrel Army of One, Feeding Frenzy, Fitted Stock/Rifled Barrel This gun fires as fast as the Zhalo Supercell and sports some balanced stats. With stability of 60, reload speed of 65 and aim assistance of 60, this gun can work if you enjoy the impact archetype. #1 is perfect for PvP and #2’s roll is solid for PvE & PvP, although with the trash-clearing benefits of Feeding Frenzy and Army of One, take it into PvE first.

Bungie Double Dips on Y1 Exotics

Published on: Nov 23, 2015 @ 19:44 It’s no secret that Destiny has struggled with this question and its potential answers since the initial release. The Taken King, while representing the largest influx of content since Destiny first arrived on the scene, is facing discontented grumbles from Guardians who feel they’ve already exhausted the current content, and who are daunted by “the grind” to the point of avoiding Destiny altogether. Now, Bungie is set to re-release a host of Exotics from Year 1, in the hopes that these will gel well with the upcoming balance patch and entice and inspire

Published on: Nov 23, 2015 @ 14:47 The release of weapon balance notes to be seen this December have already sparked a myriad of conversations regarding the “metagame” and how the changes will affect the Crucible. Final judgement can’t be passed until the patch is in effect and players have experienced the balances for themselves, but in this episode of Crucible Radio, we speculate about what the Crucible experience look like come December.

Consumables for Silver? The Future of Eververse Microtransactions

Published on: Oct 13, 2015 @ 19:19 Update 1.17 brought a suite of tweaks, fixes, and belt-tightening currency adjustments, but also a fresh wave of personality in the form of new emotes. As we detailed in our brief outline of Silver pricing, these Rare emotes can be yours for the cost of 200 Silver, though the “Legendary” quality ones cost 500. Everyone will have 400 free Silver to spend, so expect to see a bunch of your friends and enemies grieving, bowing, and slow-clapping their way through Destiny’s PvE and PvP experience. Speaking of Silver, would you want Silver to be

Published on: Nov 19, 2015 @ 22:01 December can’t come soon enough! Bungie hasn’t teased a balance patch for quite a while, but with today’s weekly update, we got a list of weapon balances that December is going to bring. For the most part, Bungie addresses real concerns about weapon balance in both PvP and PvE. However, there are a few slated changes that have us shaking our heads. We’ll breakdown the specifics and let you decide for yourself! [divider] Auto Rifles Outlook: Good We can all agree that Auto Rifles have come a long way from their dismal state in

3 Ways To Improve Questing

We recently discussed the pros and cons of RNG based rewards as opposed to the newly instilled quest system. It’s obvious that Bungie can make Quests even better, and this article lists 3 ways we think they can improve. [divider] Reduce The Grind Many players know how obscenely difficult the grind for materials was in the Exotic Sword, or how exhausting the search for calcified fragments was for Touch of Malice. The reward promised was enough for Guardians to trudge through the absentminded collection of materials, but it only redacted the glory in acquiring a new weapon. In Year One, it became a

Published on: Nov 18, 2015 @ 10:38 Incoming Shipments #1 – Thesan FR4 | Fusion Rifle Grenadier, Braced Frame, Underdog With 94 Impact and 81 Stability, it will be good with any perks. Of course, that doesn’t mean that perks can’t help it; this gun can benefit from range perks, and reload speed is always key in Crucible and Raids. Okay, so this week’s rolls are nowhere near as awesome as the first time this gun was sold. That’s okay though; Rank #1’s roll isn’t bad at all. Underdog is actually pretty good in the Crucible for Fusion Rifles, because
