Yeah that a long one. Have your team spread out. Don't concentrate on the boss and damage the field of enemies as mush as possible, hopefully it'll wittle down the boss that way. Stick and run, take a cheap shot at him whenever possible, he gets distrated easily (that why you have to spread out) use damage weapons as the same color as his shield. if he has a Red shield up -> use a fire/solar damage weapon on himAny tips for the Winter's Run strike? I've tried it twice now, but it just seems so difficult. I'm level 17 and my girlfriend is 16, so we shouldn't be having this much trouble. Granted, we've had pretty bad teammates both times, but still.
The boss just has a shit ton of health, can kill you super quickly, and there's constantly tons of other enemies spawning all over.
Damn, that is a lot of legendary gear and seems like much more than I would expect to be available each day!It looks like this is how the Queen's Wrath works:
1) Complete a Queen's Wrath Bounty and Receive a 'Queens Order' under the Mission section of your inventory.
2) Use this Order to take on a level 24 mission with an Epic modifier (Previously only on the Nightfall).
3) Finish mission, get legendary gear.
6 Missions a day, so up to 6 legendary pieces of gear daily it seems.
The missions just say "Level 24 Story Challenge" so you don't know what they are before hand.
The weekly missions are Nexus. Both have Solar Burn, but I don't believe Vex use Solar so it works more in your favor. I feel like the next week one is going to be Arc Burn on Winter's Run for the Archon Priest. Not sure how I'd be able to win that one.
Again I say...wait, what? I've beaten the daily heroic on the hardest difficulty (28) several times and never once have I gotten shards or energy from it.My bad. The Daily Heroic Sotry. :lol:
The daily rewards 1 Ascendent Material (Shard or Energy) at level 26. At level 28, you get 2 Ascendent Materials.Again I say...wait, what? I've beaten the daily heroic on the hardest difficulty (28) several times and never once have I gotten shards or energy from it.
I turned in two Queen's Bounties at the same time. Hope that doesn't override the first mission.
Then I've been getting the shaft. That's what I get for abusing that damn cave. :lol:The daily rewards 1 Ascendent Material (Shard or Energy) at level 26. At level 28, you get 2 Ascendent Materials.
I spent 60+ minutes at the cave yesterday and got not even a single legendary engram. Only blues and greens, and they all kept being turned into green ammo/gunsThen I've been getting the shaft. That's what I get for abusing that damn cave. :lol:
My rewards:There have also been talks/confirmation that for Cruicible/Vanguard reputation you get a legendary at ranks 4, 8, 12 etc. and for others like Dead Orbit etc. its 3, 6, 9. Even if you have an abundance of marks you can always buy legendary items and dismantle them for materials too.
That isn't always the case, though. I've been the low man several times and I've yet to come out of the crucible with anything decent. I've also seen the top player getting some good gear a few times including an exotic once.Gah. Two times in a row in the Crucible, I am the top player by far on my team. You know who gets a Legendary Engram? The lowest scoring, .47 k/d kid. TWO TIMES IN A ROW Bah. That system is ridiculous.
I know it isn't consistent but the fact that it is so random drives me bonkers. I am better, give me better things hahah : PThat isn't always the case, though.

Good to know. I much rather spend the time playing the game and killing other stuff, that shooting at the cave tbh.My rewards:
Vanguard 3 - Legendary Auto Rifle
Vanguard 4 - Legendary Boots
Crucible Rank 3 - Legendary Armor of some type that I promptly trashed
My friends rewards:
Vanguard 3 - Legendary Rocket Launcher (If I remember correctly)
Crucible 3 - 2 Ascendent Shards
So every rank after rank 2 should provide an actual, tangible reward. I will be leveling Future War Cult after I hit Vanguard 5 as I'm rather close to that.
Also, people need to keep in mind that breaking down Legendary armor gives 3 shards and Legendary weapons give 3 energy. Upgrading them does not increase the shards, but the other item instead (Weapon Parts or your class armor materials). Tested that on some boots the other day since the new ones I found had 1 better on a stat and looked better.
Hm, that is good to know!It looks like the maximum amount of Vanguard/Crucible marks you can hold is 200. So if you are at 200 but still have more obtainable during that week, you need to spend them or you lose them.
Might have to try this out later. Need legendary primary weapon. My lvl 18 hand cannon and lvl 19 auto rifles just wont cut it anymore.If you guys want an easy way of getitng Queen's loot, just keep entering the mission and leaving until you get Earth/Russia. It's short, simple and very soloable. You dont use your ticket until you actually finish the mission. It look me about 20 tries but I eventually got the Earth mission loaded. Easy legendary gear or upgrade materials
Trials of Osiris could be good if implemented then.I know it isn't consistent but the fact that it is so random drives me bonkers. I am better, give me better things hahah : P
That sounds awesome!!!Trials of Osiris could be good if implemented then.
First earth mission. So choose the lowest level one.Where does the Devil Archon spawn at on earth and when?
Yep. After 107 hours, 185 Crucible matches, and 70 Strike missions. Positively insane.Someone already lvl 30. :lol:
What level are you, though? I'm at 23.If you guys want an easy way of getitng Queen's loot, just keep entering the mission and leaving until you get Earth/Russia.

At least you got something cool...i've done 4 Queen missions..I now have 4 Queen's Guard Vests....if only you could trade in this gameJust did 2 queen missions on earth and got the queens robe both times. -_- I need a helmet, boots, or primary weapon legendary. Hopefully ill get one of those next time i try
I am 26. But it shouldn't be too bad at 23/24. For that encounter you can pretty much cheese it by staying back in the two previous rooms. Also, be sure to bring guns with elemental damage as the enemies have shields.What level are you, though? I'm at 23.
lets team up, im about to hit 27Hit 28. My body is ready for another raid run.
You get shards from dissembling them?So far i did two Queen missions and got 2 robes, at least i get shards from them though.
The Mars mission is pretty annoying too with the Psions and their shields and OP weaponThe hardest part of the earth queen mission is those damn shanks. LOL They sure got a tough shield. Everything else is pretty simple to kill.
Until more is revealed, I'm looking more forward to the Iron Banner and Trials. I really did enjoy the Iron Banner in the beta much more than the standardized pvp modes.But yeah I am super stoked about that Trials event. The more and more we find out about events the more and more pleased I am with this amazing game!
Ok I sent you the fr.lets team up, im about to hit 27
If I can get my hands on a few more shards to upgrade my boots I'll hit 29.Just hit lvl 27!
