Salty I need to re-do my profile in CAG4.0
Wolfhound packs make Gjallarhorn the beast that it is. Though Hunger of Crota is the best substitute, if you want to equip another exotic weapon.
Does this apply everywhere, not just raids?I don't think anyone has shared this. If you unload all of your primary and heavy ammo and use Ice Breaker to kill mobs they will all basically drop heavy ammo. I saw it on Reddit a few days ago and tried it out for the first time last night. I used a machine gun with surplus and I probably had 10-15 heavy drops just from killing the mobs on the left and right at the start of the Crota fight. The game also gave me enough ammo to have 3 rockets after I switched my weapons back every time I did it. With surplus each drop was giving me 4 rockets. I was firing rockets like crazy at to take down the swordbearer, drop shields, and take out ogres and I never had to pop a synth. There were still a decent number of heavy drops left in the starting room when I finished the fight. It gave my group a pretty big boost and helped lessen the pain of wiping repeatedly knowing that I wasn't wasting synths in the process.

Yeah was't a horrible night at all. I wished I hadn't done normal with my lock for more drops, but no complains. Got Word of Crota, the shader and the sparrow that looks just like the tone in the VoG, but isn'tPretty good night for me. 4 man'd Crota on normal with my Titan and finally got the helmet I needed to hit 32. Beat Atheon for giggles and got a second Atheon's E, a third Mythoclast, the Timepiece (Which I never got) and the Warlock helmet which up until now I had never gotten. (I actually had never gotten any helmet from the Vault.) Used my newly created Warlock for one more crack at Crota on hard and got a third Word of Crota. Not too shabby considering my morning started with a nightfall that rewarded me with a legendary engram that turned into Ascendant Shards.
I am really looking forward to giving this a try.
Yeah that is hilarious!
I got a Thunderlord for the second time in two weeks from Ir Yut. I already had it though. One of the guys in my clan has never gotten it and complained when I got it a second time. It was so nice to break it down it in front of himRevanchist said:Wow! Ir yut has been great to me. First Gjallerhorn and now SUROS Regime, two great exotics in 3 days! Anyone else getting awesome loot from her?
To be honest, i don't remember the last time the nightfall gave me an exotic.I got a Thunderlord for the second time in two weeks from Ir Yut. I already had it though.

I have yet to get a Suros or Red Death in this game so I'd like either of those or just any exotic I haven't gotten yet (Universal Remote is one, I think there are a few more too). The Nightfall continues for like the 5th week in a row to give me just legendary weapons.
It seems like I got them all the time when I was first running it a couple of months after launch. In fact, I ended up starting a Warlock and then a Hunter because I kept getting exotic armor drops for those on my Titan via the Nightfall. Since like mid-Dec, running Nightfall 3x per week, I've gotten pretty much nothing other than the ever useful XP bonus for the week. I guess that initial burst of good fortune was just all part of Bungie's diabolical plan to keep me playing this game for so long...Revanchist said:To be honest, i don't remember the last time the nightfall gave me an exotic.
I read that you have to beat Crota on hard more than once to get the Crux. Supposedly, the game checks to see if you've earned the Glowhoo shader. Only those who have might earn the Crux of Crota.
Yes, but it isn't always guaranteed both drops when it should be. On rare occasion you do get shafted and only receive one reward.So is running hard more 1st get double loots like VOG? Havent done raid yet for the week. im just planning to try out the 1st 2 sections on hard. And just finish off the week with crota on normal sonce i have uet to reach 32. Been busy with work the last coulle of weeks that i barely play at night now.
Dropped Crota on the first try with 3 of my friends and two randoms. I got the scout rifle and the dude who ran sword for us got a Crux. It seems to be dropping regularly now.
Lucky randoms I tell ya. Hopefully I can ride the wagon tonight when I log in, if the last run hasn't been ran (lfging it ends up being a pain most of the time). I agree the primaries do seem very meh, tough I do like my word of crota and the abyss primary was fun to use on Omnigul.The guy who got Crux in our group had to go back to the tower to get his Eidolan to upgrade, so you don't need to have it with you for the Crux to drop. The shader theory seems like it might just be true though. It's too bad the gun itself seems pretty disappointing from what I have seen of and read about it. Honestly all of the expansion exotic weapons seem pretty bad and even the raid primaries seem to be mostly underwhelming.
Its insane to watch him do it tbh. I wouldI've beaten Crota on hard twice with the shader equipped so far this week and no Crux for me or anyone else in my team so it's definitely still random. Yes everybody else on my team had the glowhoo shader and hasn't beaten him before. In fact, our swordbearer has beaten him several times over the last few days and he still doesn't have it. (He's just so damn good with the sword and being a leader.)
I'm itching to try again after watching this video.Jimmy did pretty good though. We basically had it if it weren't for that one stupid glitch right at the end. I'm confident Jimmy can run it he just needs a little more practice to get to where FF is at. I'm going to eventually take the time and learn/practice myself but right now I care more about da loot.
I'd be down for giving that a go. I'll be running my Titan as well and I'd like to include 7 and have him do the distract the boomer strategy. (Even if it's just so he doesn't die as a 31.) I think Mars needs at least one more run so ideally I'd like it if we can run it with you as the swordbearer, me, 7, Mars, Ig (He needs another as well) and whoever for the final spot that needs a third run. (Does FF need another run?) Either way I'll be offline for a bit but just shoot me a message when you guys are ready and I'll hop on if I'm not already on.I'm itching to try again after watching this video.

It is definitely NOT a requirement to be wearing Glowhoo or have the Raid weapons with you. We had 2 people get the Crux from our first clear after reset. One guy had Glowhoo equipped, had every Raid weapon in his inventory (just in case), and had a fully-upgraded Eidolan Ally. But the other person who got it didn't even have the Glowhoo in her character's inventory, and didn't have a fully-upgraded Eidolan Ally either.jhill9056 said:The guy who got Crux in our group had to go back to the tower to get his Eidolan to upgrade, so you don't need to have it with you for the Crux to drop.

Yeah that does look interesting. You'll get it next time for sure (we actually did get him tough)I'm itching to try again after watching this video.
Oh yeah Jimmy did pretty well and we did get it, just that one glitch...too ridiculous. I still don't know how people keep their wits while carrying the sword...tough I would also like to give it a shotJimmy did pretty good though.

I didn't see everyone online yesteday, but just hit me up whenever. I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade the hunter or the Titan to 32, but seeing jimmy using the wings of ruin on his set up makes me want to wait since I am so close to having those fully upgradable.I'd be down for giving that a go. I'll be running my Titan as well and I'd like to include 7 and have him do the distract the boomer strategy. (Even if it's just so he doesn't die as a 31.)

Yeah that's kind of what I figured. I was thinking that you probably had to have completed the hard raid at some point and thus earned the shader, but not necessarily have it on to get the Crux to drop.It is definitely NOT a requirement to be wearing Glowhoo or have the Raid weapons with you. We had 2 people get the Crux from our first clear after reset. One guy had Glowhoo equipped, had every Raid weapon in his inventory (just in case), and had a fully-upgraded Eidolan Ally. But the other person who got it didn't even have the Glowhoo in her character's inventory, and didn't have a fully-upgraded Eidolan Ally either.
I think the ONLY requirement is that you have cleared the Hard raid once before (and thus earned the Glowhoo). Everything else is unnecessary. I beat Normal on my last character to try to get Hunger of Crota and have yet to do Hard. We'll see what that brings me. On my other two chars I cleared Hard only and didn't get the Crux...
As for the Raid primaries, Abyss Defiant actually seems like possibly the best one. It just tears stuff up in the Weekly. And I do like Word of Crota. It is slightly better than Fatebringer in base stats, but lacking the Firefly perk of course. So I see them both as pretty even. Fatebringer has the edge for thrall crowd control (like the first two parts of the Raid).
Wait, are you saying you got the Machine Gun from a Hard mode clear, or was that from Normal and then Hard separately? This is a crucial question because I have never seen a single special/heavy weapon drop for anyone during Hard mode (and I've cleared it 6 times). I still need Hunger of Crota and I figured I had to run Normal to get a chance for it. My one Normal run this week just got me mats though...totallyjem said:Did hard crota on my 32 titan and the sword dude bailed after two tries seriously...stayed up till like 2 but we never could get it. Got close. Got the machine gun and pulse rifle though so wasnt total waste. Will try and get into crota fight again later.
Not to mention the Hive Disruptor perk on Word of Crota supposedly screws with the perk for getting 1 extra shot. I kept Hive Disruptor off of mine for the time being until they fix this (along with the Black Hammer one).jhill9056 said:Yeah that's kind of what I figured. I was thinking that you probably had to have completed the hard raid at some point and thus earned the shader, but not necessarily have it on to get the Crux to drop.
My problem with the Word of Crota is that getting 1 extra shot for landing 3 quick crits does not seem all that great by itself and it doesn't work at all if you use explosive rounds which I view as the most useful of the perks you can choose from. It just seems poorly designed. Having said that I will still probably use it more than any of the other raid primaries just because it is void and I don't like Atheon's Epilogue.
I like the Abyss Defiant and I also used it in the weekly to test it out, but I'm not sure I will use it all that much. Maybe it's just my bias towards scout rifles, but I am still leaning towards VoC for most situations where I want a solar primary.
Oversoul's Edict and Fang of Ir Yut are both decent weapons, but they can't compete with Fatebringer as arc weapons. I guess that might be the real problem. Fatebringer is so good that it is hard to not feel that the new raid weapons are disappointing in comparison. It's also just kind of lame that both raid pulse rifles are arc.
The Nechrochasm might be the most disappointing of them all. For what they make you do to get it I was expecting it to be much better. All that I have seen of it makes it look pretty bad.
Had that happen once... that's how I got my melee kill on a gorgonHas anyone encountered a strange glitch in VoG that doesn't kill you even the Gorgon saw you or the Oracle part when it doesn't show any text when you or your teammates destroy an oracle?
I've only done NF and Weekly on 1 toon, so I'll message if I see you on.Nightfall continues to troll me...this week instead of energies I got 6 shards on my hunter. RNGsus hates him. The other guys got trolled as well one got 9 shards and the other got no land beyond.
Did regular crota with my 31 hunter because no one on lfg will roll with a 31 in hard even if you are invisible the whole timePeople fell apart at crota again and bailed. Got my chest though so I can get to 32 this weekend after I level it up and hopefully just do hard mode all the way through. Ever since the patch I keep running into groups that just quit at crota...wtf...
Did hard crota on my 32 titan and the sword dude bailed after two tries seriously...stayed up till like 2 but we never could get it. Got close. Got the machine gun and pulse rifle though so wasnt total waste. Will try and get into crota fight again later.
Still need nightfall and weekly on my titan if you see me online invite if you want help with those. They went super fast this week now that everyone seems to have elemental primaries![]()
Sorry I call autorifles machine guns on accident a lot...I meant the autorifle. I do have the heavy machine gun but like you said I got it from regular.Wait, are you saying you got the Machine Gun from a Hard mode clear, or was that from Normal and then Hard separately? This is a crucial question because I have never seen a single special/heavy weapon drop for anyone during Hard mode (and I've cleared it 6 times). I still need Hunger of Crota and I figured I had to run Normal to get a chance for it. My one Normal run this week just got me mats though...
Yeah they added a few maps that ive only played in rumble before. Now i never get the maps with vehicles, like the one on the moon. Guess they went smaller.Has anyone else noticed the Mercury map, "The Burning Shores", coming up a lot more frequently lately in Crucible?
While I agree, I decided to buy one Arm engram for a chance at Ruin Wings....and what do you know I get lucky. Probably a cosmic balancing from last week when I was trying for Obsidian, and instead got 2x Third Man and Glasshouse.Xur is garbage as usual.
lfg was much more viable option back when the game was first came out. I played with a lot of patient and friendly ppl, beat the Atheon many time back then. But now a days, it seems like only the cesspool of humanity hang out there. Things quickly devolve into name calling and ppl quitting after a few wipes.Not sure if I have bad luck or what but lately every group I joined from lfg ended up failing half way. Today I tried to get pass the gatekeeper on hard w 2 groups, first I got kicked out dunno why, second just gave upthough most of us were lvl 30s but the teamwork was pretty bad, could be due to lack of mics, also from my pov half of us didn't have a clue what to do, again
