If you go with option #1, Relentless Tracker offers greater resolution on your radar, and Braced Frame’s stability boost is incredible. Don’t worry about the smaller mag – you’ll still have 60 rounds to fire in order to let Persistence do its thing. This is a bullet-hose

Destiny Events & Silver: What’s the Right Balance?
Published on: Oct 27, 2015 @ 19:04 Yesterday, Destiny players awoke to a special treat. No, it wasn’t a Year 2 Gjallarhorn – it’s The Festival of the Lost! Bungie rolled out the event with practically no advance warning, and the community seems to have been caught pleasantly by surprise. [divider] Holiday Spirit Considering Destiny’s track record of being rather miserly in the Holiday Spirit department, seeing the Tower fully decked out in autumn attire and some of our favorite NPCs joining in the fun is a welcome change. Last October Bungie allowed the silly Jackolyte to make the rounds, as well

The first Iron Banner has come and gone, and the guys put some serious time into it. Thankfully the loot bug will be fixed next time. A listener asked about sidearms, and with the Ironwreath, CR agreed that the right roll can make a sidearm deadly. It’s tough to put down a shotgun or sniper at this point, but future balances might really bring them to

Published on: Oct 14, 2015 @ 10:00 [divider] Incoming Shipments #3 Zarinaea-D | Auto Rifle High base stability, so to get it ready for competitive play, we’ll wanna fix its low range. We’ll use Rifled Barrel to more than double the range while sacrificing a small amount of reload speed. Counterbalance will assist the weapon’s recoil pattern to be more predictable, and partial refund is a forgettable side-effect. #1 SUROS ARI-41 | Auto Rifle Rank 1’s perks gets the edge this week, as they shore up this gun’s lackluster range stat with little tradeoff. Smallbore and Hammer Forged will get

Published on: Oct 7, 2015 @ 09:54 Incoming Shipments SUROS ARI-45 #1 | Auto Rifle Now this is something we’ve been looking for: Quick Reload Speed! In addition, Feeding Frenzy is a fantastic perk for PvE and PvP alike, offering a more noticeable boost to reload speed than pure stat increases in most cases. With this large increase after kills, you can afford to reach for Rifled Barrel to get more range, and Fitted Stock increases stability to competitive levels. SUROS DIS-47 #3 | Scout Rifle This was another close one. While Rank 1’s roll offers Smallbore and Perfect Balance, you just won’t
Defending Against Hammer of Sol
Know Your Enemy Learning how to counter an enemy relies on knowing their strengths and weaknesses. While the Sunbreaker is incredibly powerful, it does have its faults. Strengths: Incredibly high armor; capable of surviving a headshot from a high impact sniper rifle. Ability to heal on kills; Cauterize perk keeps health and shields up after kills with Super. High mobility: Titans are perceived to be all about strength, but can move faster than most classes if the Control jump is utilized correctly. Weaknesses: Reduced visibility; if a Sunbreaker hits a target or surface in front of them, their explosions can create
