| Posted: 13 May 2021 02:40 PM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/50350 This week at Bungie, we started splicing. Season of the Splicer went live this week. Killer robots channeled their inner Mr. Burns and blotted out the Sun over the Last City. Now, Guardians are strapping on power gloves and teaming up with tech-master Eliksni to fight in the shade. It's a tale as old as time. We had some Honeydew errors early on, but our team of experts buckled down to commune with our servers and fix the issues so you could get back to playing. Our deepest apologies to anyone who had their gameplay delayed. Check out the Player Support Report below for the latest on any ongoing issues we are tracking. Despite some hiccups, the Season is in full swing now! Here is a quick look at everything the new Season Pass has to offer. Hack and SlashThis Season has ushered in new additions to your arsenal from Seasonal rewards, post-game Gambit, Crucible, Vanguard drops, and more. We gave you a peek at these last week, so go check them out if you want a look at what awaits you in game. We've also added a series of returning Future War Cult weapons loaded up with the new rolls, as well as some class-specific Swords to slice and dice (and splice?) your way to victory. All of these weapons are available for free to all players and drop from multiple World Loot Pool sources. Iron Sharpens IronNext week, the first Iron Banner of Season of the Splicer goes live. Lord Saladin will be back at the Tower with bounties and a slew of pinnacle rewards. Find him up on the top level and make sure you grab the quest he is offering as well. We re-enabled the Heavy weapon step and, based on player feedback, have made it much easier to complete. It only requires three Machine Gun kills now to finish. Iron BannerStart: May 18 at 10 AM PDT End: May 25 at 10 AM PDT We showed off two new weapons as well as two Year-1 weapons that are getting random rolls for the first time in a previous TWAB. Here is another look in case you missed it! CutenessIkora and Mithrax have big roles this Season, but the baby Eliksni have stolen the show. We've watched as the community has exploded over how cute these lil' creatures are. If you want one of your own, sign up for email updates to know when the plushy babies become available at Bungie Store. Full ReportKnow we turn it over to our Player Support Team for important updates on issues we are tracking. This is their report.
Movie KombatHello there! Did I come on to strong? Sorry, just excited about these movies. Do you know how many movies have been made for MOTW since we started this popcorn-laden weekly tradition? That wasn't a setup, I don't actually know. But it's like... a lot. More than 100 for sure. Anyways here are this week's winners! Movie of the Week: Reunion Movie of the Week: The Last Guardians PortraitsLast week, our art section was overrun with babies. It was an infestation of cuteness. There is a ton of amazing community art coming in, so we made the difficult decision to only feature one bébé to make space for the rest of this awesome artwork. Go look at them! Art of the Week: Story Time
Art of the Week: Void Hunter
If your art was featured, please make sure you link your Bungie.net account in a reply to the winning post so we know where to send your emblem. Thanks! Welcome to Season of the Splicer. We hope you are enjoying the new six-player Offensive, new story, and all the sweet, sweet loot. We're just getting started and still have Vault of Glass, weekly Expunge missions, and more coming up! We've been super busy supporting the launch, but with my new Splicer tech, I've hacked my sleep schedule and found a bunch of extra playing time just lying there! So, yeah, I'm loving this Season so far. Thanks for playing and hopefully I'll see you out there. <3 Cozmo [link] [comments] |

| It’s time to stop increasing the cost of resetting the artifact Posted: 13 May 2021 04:48 PM PDT This season's artifact has some amazing mods ripe for experimentation and theory-crafting. The problem is the escalating cost of resetting. Considering you have to choose a certain amount of mods in prior columns before the next unlocks further complicates the problem. Please revisit this!

| Star-Eater Scales enables Golden Gun to deal MORE damage than Celestial Nighthawk Posted: 13 May 2021 11:35 AM PDT Title. Just got the boots and tested them immediately on Kalli. I had no debuffs or buffs outside of the buffs the Exotics provide. Celestial itself does ~218k to Kalli. Star-Eater Scales does ~256k to Kalli when you have x4 of it's buff. So... rest in peace Celestial Nighthawk? EDIT: People asking how the Exotic works, here's a quick run down-- -Orbs generate more super energy, seems to be a 1.5x increase to super energy gain.

| Posted: 13 May 2021 06:54 AM PDT I was so excited to play this season a few days ago, but now Bungie managed to create a dumpsterfire. Some stuff from the patch notes was not implemented properly (Sleeper buff, Chaos Reach going through walls) and other stuff that wasn't even mentioned got introduced because reasons (DSC nerf, hunter buff, warlock nerf). On top of that, Eververse got a lot of cool new cosmetics and Transmog is a timegated, tedious, capped process which takes IN GAME DAYS to get to the maximum amount of tokens. Bungie never learns i guess, this is so sad. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 02:31 AM PDT We aren't even able to use a lot of the armor in our collections because it's out of date. This is content that we already paid for in the base game or dlcs that we can't use, and it's cosmetics are simply being made available again, but this time we're goaded into paying more money for it. Why not allow us to earn the content that we paid for in a reasonable amount of time? It makes zero sense. If Bungie is hurting that much for cash, why not increase the cost upfront in the cost of the season pass or expansion (I know why, because money. The question was rhetorical.) The point still stands however, that an increase in the cost upfront would be far less scummy than the current system. Dial back the restrictiveness of the transmog system bungo. It's the appropriate thing to do. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 08:16 AM PDT While digging into the content yesterday and doing way too many Overrides, I noticed when I got my first upgrade on the "Override Efficiency" column, it increased the amount of data I got at the final conflux chest form 30 to 35. I switched my upgrade path focus to that and earned enough data to unlock all three tiers. Here's the amount each tier gives you (I only did one run at tier 3 but believe this should hold up over multiple runs):
You're nearly doubling your rate of currency gain by getting that up to tier 3 first, which was enough for me to dedicate farming those upgrades before unlocking anything else, even the "Memory Expansion" ones that increase the amount of ether and keys you can hold. This will make upgrading the rest of the splicer gauntlet go by much quicker. You can change up your grind by doing strikes / PvP, then once you're full on ether and keys, go farm Override. Team scorched is back and games go pretty fast - gives you 50 ether per game, and IMO it's the least frustrating PvP playlist because it's silly fun. You'll also get ether for guardians you kill I believe. Just wanted to share in case others are looking for optimal upgrade paths. Don't forget that the first two seasonal challenges reward decrypted data as well, so you can earn those in addition to just farming Override. ETA: There were posts yesterday about a special vex goblin in the boss room that had a boss-tier health bar that would drop more Decrypted Data on killing it. I saw this once myself and got 25 data from it, but I hadn't seen or heard of any way to get it to proc consistently. According to u/Erkel85 in the comments below, during the motes phase of Override, if three different guardians go into the vex portal to get the data spike and dunk it, that may be the trigger for this goblin to spawn.

| Just incase you didn’t know, Crimson + Overload HC is a one burst stun Posted: 13 May 2021 01:12 PM PDT |
| It's leg day (Scavenger's Den in EDZ) Posted: 13 May 2021 10:05 AM PDT Get your exotics. EDIT: 1310, arc shields, Overload and Barrier champs. EDIT2: RNGesus blessed me w/ Star-Eater Scales on my second run. https://imgur.com/b4jBCOq [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 12:01 AM PDT I'm at a near loss for words with how this season is performing in general. But now i have something to say about Deep Stone Crypt. DSC no longer drops Pinnacles (the in-game text is bugged, don't be fooled.) DSC can no longer be farmed for spoils, only 3 spoils per encounter, once. DSC can only drop 12 spoils total, per character, per week. DSC secret chests no longer drop ANY spoils. DSC is essentially a $40 raid, as it requires the purchase of Beyond Light. There is now no real incentive to run it as it no longer gives progression to end game leveling. Prophecy is more relevant now for end game leveling. DSC isn't even 3/4's of a year old. The EoT drop rate and damage bug was ignored in this update and no word on the 2 buffs not taking place from Bungie since they launched the second "buff" I think Bungie does this stuff on purpose just to spite us for constantly complaining about the state of the game. Because these kinds of things happen a lot to the game consistently and they NEVER go well with the playerbase. Seems petty and just gross. Edit: Elaborated a bit for better understanding. Edit 2: I'm having a hard time understanding what is so controversial about this post. Edit 3: Oh wow front page! Edit 4: Thank you for the awards! Edit 5: So a minor thing to note to the people constantly telling me about presage, is that presage is supposed to grant pinnacles. In the twab it was confirmed bugged. +1 pinnacle source ig.

| Network Anomaly aka Override Loot Goblin Posted: 13 May 2021 10:06 PM PDT If you want to spawn the Network Anomaly during Override you need to keep the champions off the plate during the charge mechanic. If a champion touches the plate, you lost your chance at the loot goblin. If you are successful, when you enter the boss room a yellow bar vex goblin named Network Anomaly will spawn. This is indicated by an on screen message. Killing it will drop decrypted data. If you fail to pick up the data because someone knocked the goblin into orbit (ahem, titans) while it dies, the decrypted data will go to your postmaster. We found the easiest way to kill the champions was to spawn camp them since the spawns are static. You usually get 2 spawns per cycle.when charging. Good luck Guardians! [link] [comments] |
| Boots of the Assembler has turned me into a White Mage. I'm a Warlock main now. Posted: 13 May 2021 12:07 PM PDT These boots have changed the game for me. I LOVE support exotics. I used to run Omnioculous 24/7, but NO MORE! I've been converted. I'm now a full-time employee of Team Warlock! This exotic pairs SO WELL with Lumina and Middle-Tree SunSword Guy (whatever that shit is called. I'm new, ok?). It works just as well with any other subclass tree, but Benevolent Dawn gives you back the Rifts in record time. The boots make your Rifts send out a TON of Lumina Hip-Fire orbs that buff based on the rift that you're using and seeks out your teammates from a really generous distance. It synergizes with Lumina and gives you Noble Rounds for the weapon somehow. I'm not sure if it's when teammates are getting kills but I had x5 Noble Rounds without killing a thing. It's crazy! It also works off of your Well of Radiance too; I wasn't on the receiving end of it, but I'm assuming since Well of Radiance Heals AND buffs damage that you get both. Someone, please confirm. All of this better be working as intended. You screwed me up when you nerfed my Rat King + Omnioculous Combo, but now I have another crazy way to support the squad. LEAVE IT ALONE. If you need to nerf something Bungie, there's plenty of icy tomfoolery ripe for the nerfing. Pick that. Leave this be. I'm never taking these shoes off. (Yes I said shoes.) ... Did I mention they look good too? Finally, another warlock exotic that looks GOOD! Edit: Using this in PvE (it works in pvp too... pvp is just a crap fest rn) and standing in the well gives Lumina infinite ammo as long as your team is getting kills. It makes Lumina feel like it has the OG Lunafaction boots buff. When your team gets kills while being buffed by your Rift, the Rift generates Lumina's Noble Round Remnants (Not to be confused with the Noble Seekers from the Boots of the Assembler}, and that in turn gives you ammo every time you pick one up. It usually comes in a stack of 5. You literally get ammo faster than you can shoot it! Kinda dope synergy between those exotics! [link] [comments] |
| My Love Letter To Destiny (OC) Posted: 13 May 2021 02:07 PM PDT Hey guys! I've been working on this video for almost a year now! I'm super proud of it so I hope you enjoy. I spent a lot of time learning 3D animation and really wanted to go all out! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 10:01 AM PDT I understand going to light.gg is useful and I've used it many times. But this is something that should be seen in-game. [link] [comments] |
| Bungie hear me out. “Non-pinnacle” raids shouldn’t have a weekly lockout. Posted: 13 May 2021 03:13 AM PDT Title. If a raid gets "old" enough that it no longer drops pinnacle drops, then there's no reason for it to be on a weekly lockout for drops. Make it so first run is powerful then subsequent runs are at level drops. I have very little time to dedicate to being to run raids anymore and have only ran DSC like 10 times. Now it's going to be even harder for folks like myself because less people are going to be running it because less reward. Allowing older raids to be farmed would breath some life into them because people would actually want to run them if they didn't have to worry about not getting anything worthwhile while only being able to do it max 3 times a week. It's hard to get a group for Garden and even harder for Last Wish. At this point, what's the harm in letting people farm the old raid drops. [link] [comments] |
| New Emote Bundle added to Season of the Splicer page: Throne of Atheon Posted: 13 May 2021 06:17 AM PDT I believe Bungie recently added a new section to the Season of the Splicer page that advertises a Silver only Emote based on the new Raid. I don't remember seeing this last week. In a blog post Luke Smith said "we will no longer be selling ships, ghost shells, sparrows, or armor ornaments in Eververse that are visually based on themes from Aspirational Activities." Looks like we now know why Shaders and Emotes were missing. EDIT: This is a different bundle to the Seasonal Silver bundle which you can find HERE. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 09:34 AM PDT I expected to see something like must have 100 clears, etc, but was pleasantly surprised. Maybe I found it funny because I'm an old man. 🤷🏻♂️ [link] [comments] |
| kinda funny how team scorched is the most balanced pvp gamemode Posted: 13 May 2021 06:43 AM PDT |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 02:00 AM PDT Title pretty much. - Overly grindy and greedy transmog system. - Challenges XP nerfed. - DSC no longer awards pinnacles, Spoils removed from "hidden" chests. (But Empire Hunts and that weekly "challenge" still do drop pinnacles ) - Stasis buffed? Wtf. - Broken Engram Focusing. ( Intellect focus drops high stat discpline. More mats required to focus than the game tells you //buggs galore// ) - Some of the Sandbox changes were down right not implemented. Chaos reach still kills through walls. Fusion rifles remained the same. LFR buff not applied to Sleeper&QB exotics. - Why is loot dropping below the hard cap? I'm 1310 and receive a ton of 1307-1308-1309 items, really really inconsistent. On the plus side, the new weapons and story looks cool so far. Credit where it's due. Edit: If you're enjoying the season, then that's good. I hope you're all having a good time with the game or otherwise. I'm only saying that these are all valid complaints, and it's only been a few days and they became very apparent. As I said, I think the story is good, the 6 new weapons are cool. But this alone can not carry a 15 week season when they use the nerf hammer on things that benefit the player from the get go. Less pinnacles, less xp, crucible still a shit show, no news about anti cheat, buggs and sandbox changes not even implemented lol. Edit2: Guys. I'm not telling or advocating to uninstall the game or not play it. I like the game but I'm dissatisfied with how they handle this season. There are plenty more posts that go into details regarding all of the above complaints, but we need to voice our opinions, otherwise it's all gonna go downhill. Lets face it, the f2p aspect of the game is just a glorified demo, if you want the newest experiences, you gotta shell cash. And right now we're treated like we're all f2p mobile gamers ( aka Transmog, xp throttle, Pinnacle reduction ). Edit3: Every broken stuff so far in the season. It includes the 30k XP Nerf of the challenges that people ask about. Among other things. [link] [comments] |
| Hot Take: Gambit is better than Crucible Posted: 13 May 2021 01:57 PM PDT Crucible, in my opinion, isn't really fun to play. You have to either use stasis, Jötunn, or one of the other low ttk, meta weapons or else you will get stomped by those using said meta items. Trying to complete the exotic catalyst quest is annoying because each step requires you to defeat 50+ guardians using the new pistol (not the first step technically, but the second one yeah). Gambit, on the other hand, feels much more laid back. While you do have the invader mechanic, which can be annoying at times, it is more of a match of who can PvE the best with their team. low ttk weapons are still better, but you have much more flexibility with what you can use in Gambit. Admittedly the limited time modes in Crucible are fun, as they sort of feel more like a custom games match in Halo, but even then it is still a slog at times. EDIT: Changed "High ttk" to "Low ttk". I slipped up and was thinking "high" as "fast" for some reason. [link] [comments] |
| Bungie secretly nerfed top tree golden gun. Posted: 13 May 2021 05:28 AM PDT Me and some friends were playing pvp earlier and noticed that golden gun now has ridiculous drop off. At around 44 meters you are in two tap range now. A 120 handcannon with one stack of rampage beats that. Just confused as to why they decided to nerf an already average subclass. [link] [comments] |
| And now for our daily where is my Bleak Watcher turret post Posted: 13 May 2021 02:06 PM PDT I really miss my little ice turret buddy. He kept me company since my brother stopped playing, but really it's the thing that got me back into Destiny again. I love being able to live the ice mage fantasy I've missed from my time as a mage in WoW all those years ago. Yes, I know it was disabled for a good reason and it was probably the best choice to combat the infinite super glitch, but I'm still sad nonetheless. I honestly don't feel like playing without my ice buddy. I'd love even just a vague ETA on when they might have it enabled again. Has Bungie mentioned anything about it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 07:33 AM PDT I cannot deny it. The chaos, the visuals, the SOUNDS. I don't ever want this 6 player activity to go away :c [link] [comments] |
| Scavenger's Den Legend Lost Sector Platinum Speedrun 0:52 (also new skip) Posted: 13 May 2021 08:39 PM PDT Here's my Speedrun (sorry for the loud clicks) of the Legend Lost Sector today, also a way to skip most of it. I tried this method on all characters and it does work so any class can do it. [link] [comments] |
