It's going to be sick! Excited for you dude.

Afternoon Guardians, As DPS and the hunt for UNLIMITED POWER are some big factors in the gear we hunt since Forsaken, I have updated the EP calendar for all those that still want to chase after those elusive drops. Many players may have only just returned so are yet to own some of these fantastic pieces of equipment so for that I recommend you complete the Warmind Campaign and give these a shot as they are still relevant in Y2 If you are yet to step into EP, I highly recommend you do so for a chance at one of these 3 delightful additions to your arsenal. A full explanation of EP including SGAs and Farming tips can be found below in this post. SMG - IKELOS_SMG_v1.0.1 Sniper - IKELOS_SR_v1.0.1 Shotgun - IKELOS_SG_v1.0.1. According to Comments, the Drops from EP CAN go up to 500 (Y2 Soft Cap) and above if you are above or around that Level. They DO NOT drop as Powerfuls. Confirmed Y2 Exotics also drop from Escalation Protocol Bosses / Enemies The Boss and Weapon is now also listed in DTGs Weekly Reset Thread Note Players may now restart at wave 6 after completing wave 7 Option available for 60 seconds after wave 7 completion Tools, Guns, Keys To Super Weapons X = Drop chance for the Week - = Not available for the Week Weekly Reset Damkath, The Mask - 4th of September - Sniper Naksud, the Famine - 11th of September - Shotgun/SMG/Sniper Bok Litur, Hunger of Xol - 18th of September - Shotgun/SMG/Sniper Nur Abath, Crest of Xol - 25th of September - Shotgun Kathok, Roar of Xol - 2nd of October - SMG Damkath, The Mask - 9th of October - Sniper Naksud, the Famine - 16th of October - Shotgun/SMG/Sniper Bok Litur, Hunger of Xol - 23rd of October - Shotgun/SMG/Sniper Nur Abath, Crest of Xol - 30th of October - Shotgun Kathok, Roar of Xol - 6th of November - SMG Damkath, The Mask - 13th of November - Sniper Naksud, the Famine - 20th of November - Shotgun/SMG/Sniper Bok Litur, Hunger of Xol - 27th of November - Shotgun/SMG/Sniper Nur Abath, Crest of Xol - 4th of December - Shotgun Knowing me, Knowing you Nur Abath, Crest of Xol. Shielded Ogre. DPS and Shield mechanic. Adds Spawn (Witches, Knights, Ogres) which can help shield the Ogre making him invincible until they are cleared. Good add clearance can help focus more attention on Boss DPS. Methodically going from one to the other as a focus can help Kathok, Roar of Xol Giant Acolyte. DPS Fight and Shield mechanic. Swords are required to take down his shield which will spawn around the area. Make sure to ready your DPS for when the team takes the shield down. Many waves of adds can join the party. Heavy weapons and DPS Combos such as Tractor Cannon / Melting point to working in rotation can help level the boss Damkath, The Mask Ogre with a nasty Bee Sting on his back. DPS Fight. Mass spawns of Ogres and adds to help distract from the target. Weak point is the bulge on his back Naksud, the Famine Golgoroths more attractive cousin. DPS fight. Weak points on stomach and back. Heals if Cursed Thrall explode in his area so be mindful of these spawning and rushing to help it Bok Litur, Hunger of Xol Warpriests biggest Fan boy. DPS fight. No added mechanics to him besides he likes to run around a lot. Waves of adds come to help distract you. Rinse them and focus the Boss. Using the Spires rock can easily help for cover against this one What is Escalation Protocol? (EP) Escalation Protocol is a player-initiated Destiny 2 activity that can only be found on Mars. Players that successfully complete all of the progressively more difficult levels of the activity will face a prestige-level boss encounter that rotates weekly. EP can house up to 9 Players in a Patrol instance and is able to be manipulated to allow a full party of your friends join in. This is achieved by being wholesome to your fellow Guardians and sending a fellow player in the same instance, not in the your fireteam, a nice message and ask if they want to help your EP run OR if your buddies can join them, make your buddy fireteam leader and the leave in order for your buddy to get 2 of your other buddies in their team. EP consists of 7 waves. Only waves 3, 5 and 7 hold chances at unique rewards from this activity There are reward 'tiers' (Waves 3,5 and 7) and a Weekly rotating boss wave at Round 7 (5 bosses total). Weapons, Armour and cosmetics can be awarded in EP. Only the armour is not RNG based and is instead awarded for completion The weapons are also on rotation, were every 4th and 5th week since EP began (May 8th, 2018), ALL 3 Weapons host RNG and can be dropped to those lucky few. On offer is an SMG - IKELOS_SMG_v1.0.1, Sniper - IKELOS_SR_v1.0.1 and Shotgun - IKELOS_SG_v1.0.1. The Wave 7 boss can be farmed as many times as you wish in a week for Weapon chances. The Armour drops in a specific order: Class item, Legs, Arms, Chest & Helmet. You will only get dupes once your set is complete. These can only be obtained by opening the Chest after successfully beating Wave 7. The chest is located at the Spire of which you go to for the final Wave of EP A Sparrow, Ghost and Ship is also available and can drop from ANY reward chest (3,5 or 7) and is also RNG based After your first clear of Round 7 (Boss Wave), you will be rewarded with an emblem which tracks your number of EP clears. A Variant for this Emblem is also available and appears in your Emblem Tab after 25 successful EP clears Shoot to Loot What can drop from where: Wave 3 - All from Reward Chest Mars Tokens Blues (Soft Cap level) Legendary engram chance (Soft Cap level) Sparrow Chance Ghost Chance Ship Chance Wave 5 - All from Reward Chest Mars Tokens Blues (Soft Cap level) Legendary engram chance (Soft Cap level) Sparrow Chance Ghost Chance Ship Chance Wave 7 (Final / Boss Wave) EP exclusive Shaders (Only awarded from completion - Drops directly from the Boss) Mars Tokens (From the Chest) Sparrow Chance (From the Chest) Ghost Chance (From the Chest) Ship Chance (From the Chest) Weapon Chance (Drops as an engram from the boss) Completion Chest: Armour - MUST have a 'Decryted Cache Key' to open this chest Emblem (First Completion only) / Emblem Variant after completion number 25

I disagree with you to an extent. It's the toughest raid we've seen in Destiny, however, don't forget that this is primarily caused by an aggressive disadvantage by being under the delta for power level. People are going into this raid between 530- 550. The raid is tuned for 560-580. I expect in a month when you have had four weeks of timed drops through milestones and dailies this raid will take about 1 1/2 to 3 hours to complete. Super difficult yes, but remember, we're heavily disadvantaged at this point with no idea about the games mechanics. Doesn’t detract from this amazing raid experience Bungie have delivered though. Modern raids take anywhere from ~8-20 days usually. Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in World of Warcraft took 113 days to clear. The mythic version of the first raid of the current expansion just came out, the best guild in the world is currently 6/8 with around 45 hours played, the last 2 bosses are going to be much much harder as well.

I wanted something worth the money and not a lazy redesign. Again, in traditional fashion Bungie has delivered during a game's second year. I think we all know that if Destiny 3 is a thing to ignore the shite out of it until the second year. I'd say Destiny 2 is a full game as of now, shameful it took them this long. Forsaken as of now is a good buy.

Yes, I've gotten a lot of Gambit pieces as of yet. Not the best perks but still some solid guns- the rocket launcher is shit.

The Gambit primary sniper, Dreaded Venture, is a monster.

I loathe doxxing in any manner. Doesn't matter if you don't like his character's persona, the guy or his family could have been killed.

The game is awesome currently as is, minus a few niggling things. Player versus player will make it only better if the servers and connections are solid.

A lot of the big players and teams are in the 335-345 range right now so I predict the race will go as planned. But for the folks who are semi-serious about trying for a world first will be fucked now barring a few new character creations/ playthroughs in one week.

I got the raid cloak today, looks really neat. Also the inside portion of the raid I'm able to explore look really awesome- massive. Avoid doing your Gambit, Crucible, and Story Powerful Engram quests until Tuesday's reset as there was a bug that unlocked these to be done again. However, they are rewarding gear at the soft cap.

I think that was a slight dick move as well, although I can see how it's a positive in the end. No shortcuts anymore. Make sure to buy your daily 1 shard core from Spider each day!

I feel like most antivirus programs are a glorified virus. Just don't go clicking on things and adding weatherbug toolbars. Windows Defender should keep you right. Also awesome build, excited to see it in action!

The issue I see is with bo1s these operators can create a lot of “cheese” plays and losing rounds to that in a bo1 is terrible. A good example is like on Oregon teams do normal west clears when defense is in basement. Maverick can walk in blue with a drone and make a hole in blue wall and get a pick in the first 30 seconds when the team is setting up and there is no way to hear him. It is also not worth sacrificing utility like a camera or ela mine just to make sure it’s not done. There are countless other examples as well. Clash on border with acogs behind her is annoying to deal with as an attacker coming from spawn. This problem is also relevant on consulate. Clash stands with full view of a spawn point and calls players out to acogs. I’m sure other comp players have had similar experiences and can talk a lot more on the ops. From SSG: Pengu and a handful of other players see Clash with the potential to be OP and currently I think the community at large believes Maverick just does too much.

Ninja Hunter. The thing is dope as Hell.

If you guys are having trouble with activating the heroic mode on the new Cryo-pod public event. . . you kill both waves, big gun comes out. Damage him enough for 2 of 4 vents on the cryo-pod to begin smoking- shoot those vents. Vents will blow open revealing an orb. Grab orb. Throw orbs at the boss's feet. After 4 orb hits he freezes solid. It's not similar to the glimmer extraction public event. Enjoy.

First impressions are that it's solid. It's a shame the game was such a massive step back for the past year. This is how the game should have launched. Soft cap is LL500, the new heroic public event is quick and easy which is always nice.

4, it was corrected.

They aren’t. Edit. So that was my response in the car trying to be edgy. For me the newest graphics card will never be worth the money or the growing pains. NVIDIA especially has a real knack for terrible drivers on certain games, or when a new card releases. Then you have to think if you have a monitor that can really bring out the best of this mammoth. 4k, 240hz IPS monitors will run you close to 1,000. Until my 1080 cannot run games on Ultra at 1080 with 144 fps I have no reason to switch. Not to mention you can then begin overclocking.

Great game mode. I can see if getting pretty stale once a meta is defined. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Remove PUBG section. Not enough play it nor is it a meaty enough game to have discussions about.

I do! But Thanksgiving week is less than suitable, and I've got two trips lined up in surrounding months. One day! ❤️
