7 Crucible Tips

Crucible Guides, Guides Leave a comment

In Destiny, even after you’ve landed the first shot, your opponent sometimes has more than enough time to fight back or run away. Reflexes alone won’t be enough, so you’ll need a solid combination of strategy and gunskill. Radar It’s got crazy range and you should almost never be surprised if you can get good at reading it. I know it looks a bit confusing, and it doesn’t show you exactly where an opponent is like it would in Halo or CoD, but it’s a powerful tool once you understand it. The pie slices light up as enemies approach, starting first

Tips From Destiny’s Fastest Racer

Analysis Leave a comment

Fro99ywo99y1 explains how he has mastered SRL! How did you get started in Destiny? What do you do when you’re not setting world records in SRL? I’ve always been a fan of the Halo games and thought I’d give Bungie’s new game a try. Little did I know it would quickly become one of my favorite games of all time. I’m currently a college freshmen looking to major in computer science so life can get busy at times, but luckily SRL lined up perfectly with my winter break. The GameCube version of Mario Kart was my first video game ever

Archon’s Forge Event Guide

Analysis Leave a comment

Buried in the snowy ground beneath the Winter Cosmodrome’s perpetual blizzard, the Devil Splicer’s proving ground glow with an eery red light. We’ll have to explore the Plaguelands and fight our way into the Fallen’s burning fortress to gain entrance to this player activated public event, but you can’t show up to the party empty-handed. Once we complete the main storyline missions, Devil Splicers on patrol will begin randomly dropping SIVA offerings, of varying quality and types, and those are what we need to collect. Bungie indicated that there are a wider variety of SIVA offerings than Runes, and that the

5 Great Custom Game Types

Analysis Leave a comment

On Tuesday, following the MLG Destiny Showcase and our first look at the future of competitive shotgunning, Bungie announced the PVP feature we’ve been waiting for is now available! You can’t mess with things like gravity and sprint speed, but you can select game type, map, score, time limit, and a host of other options. There’s also Dead Ghosts to find! While this certainly paves the way for an it’s-really-happening competitive Destiny scene, it also means we can now invent our own zany game types to play with our friends. And that, in my humble opinion, is the best part.

Weekly Exotic Roundup: The Last Word

Analysis Leave a comment

Each week, a specific Exotic weapon will be used in every activity of Destiny. We’ve inspected Touch of Malice, Universal Remote, and now TLW! The Last Word This Exotic Hand Cannon drops from the usual avenues (3 of Coins, Xur, Engrams, etc.). Like Universal Remote, this weapon sees most of its usage in the Crucible, which makes it that much more enjoyable to take it for a spin in PVE! Pros: Looks like it came straight out of the old west (or Westworld), sweet target acquisition from hip fire, high fire rate, the TWIRL! Cons: Small magazine drains super-quick with full-auto, slow reload

An ancient instrument of war, renewed and enhanced by Light, not unlike you. Khvostov 7G-0X is an Exotic auto rifle, obtained from its Exotic Quest. 8/10 6.5/10 The good: Fun, customizable, full of nostalgia. The bad: Slow reload speed, low base stability and range.
