swiped from REddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3m381w/guide_to_getting_the_chaperone/ Step 1: You cut a hole in a box... All jokes aside, I wanted to write a quick and easy guide to getting The Chaperone, an amazing exotic Shotgun and put aside some rumors and misconceptions about some of the quest objectives. So here it goes: Step 1: Getting the "Jolly Holiday" Quest. -You need to have a Crucible Rank of 3, and you need to complete the main story of TTK, meaning kill Oryx (not the raid, just the story) Step 2: Kills in the Crucible with the Last Word equipped. -This one is tricky and takes some time, but by no means do you need to be proficient at crucible to complete this quest. -If you have the last word equipped, and get a kill with your last word or a super, grenade, or melee you will score points. If you die with the last word equipped you will lose points. -If you do not have the last word equipped, you will neither gain or lose points (basically placing the quest on hold) -You get extra points for multi kills, and you get a couple points for having the last word equipped the moment your team win's your crucible match (no points for a loss). Follow this strategy: (1) Get rid of all your primary weapons except for the last word and one other weapon by placing them in the vault. This will make it to where you can switch primary weapons in the heat of combat faster. (2) Use gear that will give you the highest intellect. And use weapons that charge your super better like Bad Juju along with your last word. (3) Start a match without the last word equipped, play normal and carefree until you have your super. (4) Once you have your super, quickly go into the menu, change to your last word, and try to find a group of enemies to get multi kills on. (5) As soon as your super runs out run away and find a place to hide, de-equip the last word and don't die before you de-equip the last word. Following this method will ensure that you are always gaining points and never losing them. Also make sure to equip your last word before your team wins the match at the end to net you some more points. Step 3: Bribe Tex Machina -Basically pay them 15,000 glimmer through the crypt-arch. You will have to figure this out on your own whatever method you prefer, or if you already have the cash this will be a quick step for you. Step 4: Get kills in the Crucible or on yellow bar enemies with a shotgun. -I did the crucible method, and it only took one match for me to complete this part and I am not a very good crucible player. I used Universal remote and set my agility to max so I could out maneuver my enemies. UR is usually a one shot kill for me, sometimes two but you can use whatever shotgun you want. -I recommend a 3v3 closed quarters map, as these are the best to surprise enemies. You should only need about 20 kills with a shotgun to complete this. Step 5 (the hardest part): Kill the Shield Brothers with a Shotgun -You must play on the 290 Light version of this Strike to count. -Many people are getting confused on this part: The last hit on each of the shield brothers must be with a shotgun. Meaning you can use whatever weapon you want the entire time you fight them, but make sure to all equip shotguns when their health are below 10% as you don't want to accidentally kill them with another weapon. -Anyone on your fire team can land the killing blow, and you will all get credit for the quest. -You can kill one boss and accidentally die, because the bosses are counted separately. Meaning if you die after you kill one brother and have to wipe, you will start with credit for that boss already. Meaning when you get to the part where both bosses come out together at the end, you only need to focus on the other boss that you didn't kill the first time. A few strategy tips: Make sure you have a few void weapons, as there are many Psions whose shields are immune to damage at the Tank Part and at the Shield Brothers until you drain their shields. When you get to the shield brothers, keep running around in a big circle when the adds come out, jumping once (not double jumping) the whole time you are running. This will prevent splash damage and make it harder for the enemy to shoot you. We had two revive warlocks, both with Light Beyond Nemesis so our revives were faster, and one hunter who went invis to revive as well (WE DIED ALOT). Step 5: Turn in the quest and wait until weekly reset. -Yes, this is the most annoying part, you earned that weapon guardian! Good things come to those who wait. Your reward: The Chaperone This is an amazing weapon. It is solar, so it will be awesome on the those missions where you have both Specialized and Solar Burn. The range is less than Universal Remote, and the damage on precision seems better. Once you unlock its perk, Survivor, you will be able to shoot 6 rounds in a row if you make all precision shots after it refills the mag. Also, the Roadborn perk seems to trigger if you are using your primary weapon as long as you have Chaperone equipped. Meaning, you can get precision kills with your primary long range, then switch to your chaperone at a moments notice if you are getting flanked and already have your Roadborn perk activated. Have fun with this weapon and good luck!

I forgot the local theatre is running a Sensory Friendly movie night, and I promised to take my son.

I gotcha homie! A long-running conversation between publishers and voice actors over contract terms may be coming to a head. SAG-AFTRA, the union representing actors (including voice actors) is currently considering a strike to push the matter to resolution. Chief among the issues under discussion is the matter of “back end bonuses.” These are a trade-off, with lower fees for service, but a percentage of the gross. This is becoming more common in film, and now may become a piece of the gaming landscape. According the FAQ found on the SAG-AFTRA website, the proposal suggests that residual payments not kick in until a game sells 2 million units. The union says that would protect smaller game developers, while allowing actors to earn a piece of what it labels as “blockbusters.” “We’re asking for a reasonable performance bonus for every 2 million copies, or downloads sold, or 2 million unique subscribers to online-only games, with a cap at 8 million units/subscribers,” the union writes. “That shakes out, potentially, to FOUR bonus payments for the most successful games: 2 million, 4 million, 6 million and 8 million copies.” Additionally, SAG-AFTRA is looking for stunt pay for those actors put in vocally stressful situations. Additionally, with the increase in motion capture performance, the union wants to have stunt coordinators available. According to the union (and not directly from the publisher representatives, to whom we’ve reached out), the employers have proposed fines for late arrivals on set and fines for agents that don’t send actors out for smaller roles (like ambient voices). SAG-AFTRA also objects to publishers potentially hiring their own employees for voice work without requiring those individuals join the union. The matter has been under intense discussion since the beginning of the year. The two sides met in February and then again in June with no resolution. Now, SAG-AFTRA is taking a vote on whether or not to strike. In order for that to happen, 75 percent of voting members would need to approve the action. If successful, members would be unable to work during the strike, and the union would ask that non-members abide by the action. The group goes so far as to suggest that the proposal from publishers, including Activision, Disney, EA, and WB Games may not be legal. “Saying no will be much easier if the interactive community is on board,” the union indicates on its FAQ page. “It comes down to a question of power. The employers can dig in their heels indefinitely. A strong strike authorization vote is the best way to shift the power dynamic.” So far, a number of notable voice actors have voiced their support of the strike. Included are Wil Wheaton, Phil LaMarr, Jennifer Hale, Ashly Burch, and Steve Blum, using two different hashtags (#PerformanceMatters and #IAmOnBoard2015). Sag-Aftra Interactive performers! Please vote! http://t.co/CRlyD4lLrz#PerformanceMatters pic.twitter.com/rRsncZZUyo — Steve Blum (@blumspew) September 22, 2015 voted YES bc #performancematters #Iamonboard2015 pic.twitter.com/RxsdD1S1Zj — Jennifer Hale (@jhaletweets) September 22, 2015 I love voice acting in video games, but our employers don't seem to think #PerformanceMatters, so I voted YES to strike. #iamonboard2015 — Wil Wheaton (@wilw) September 22, 2015 Voting today w/ my fellow vid game performers - united for a fair contract #PerformanceMatters #iAmOnBoard2015 pic.twitter.com/Wmu5O5b28s — phillamarr (@phillamarr) September 22, 2015 I voted yes! (But forgot my card so here is a thumbs up) #PerformanceMatters #iAmOnBoard2015 pic.twitter.com/HUPNrC36yW — Ashly Burch (@ashly_burch) September 22, 2015 We’ve reached out to a number of voice actors and publishers for perspective on this developing story. We’ll update as more information and comments are available. Update: A number of our contacts on both sides of this issue have responded to us. A number of publishers have declined to comment, and we have received official word from SAG-AFTRA that the two sides have agreed to a media blackout. Should that change and more information becomes available (most likely first in an announcement regarding the vote), we'll update. [source: SAG-AFTRA]

fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I won't be able to get on tonight to get this. FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also: If you obtain the Black Spindle, go to the Exotic Blueprints Kiosk and buy some to infuse into Legendary or Exotic Secondaries to make it 300 attack.

Quick post before I eat lunch. Compilation of posts from Reddit that should help folks Here is a video I whipped up for people a little confused to try and help as many people get this awesome sniper before the daily is over. as far as we know its only obtainable in the daily, so hurry guardians and Good Luck! Video: Adds are continuous but dont make the mistake we did on our first attempt, you need to control the or they will overwhelm you, we had 1 person controlling adds and 2 people damaging the boss if you run out of time you're sent back to orbit Stormcaller was clutch at ressing a couple of times but Void Bow takes the cake, clear out hard adds fast and at the same time with the split damage, it worked wonders

I'll take one, thank you very much

People tried that, and it was a no go, your ghost tells you that you missed the fallen (or somethng like that) apparently it has to be during the daily(or nightfall) is the theory

From what I have read, it is from the moment you enter the Ketch. I cna't verify that right now though, but I will at lunch. Either way, I want to attempt this tonight when I get home, if people are up for it

Yea, this is insanely rough to do, that 10 minute timer is nuts. You can run passed everything though if you are careful.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Armory/Category?source=460228854 Pretty cool link to the official Bungie armory, it shows all drops and what not

Yea, it is actually really easy to kill a Sunbreaker. All the classes are really well balanced it seems.

Yesterday Lee, Chris, and I ran about 9 strikes, I was getting 6-7 blue engrams per strike after the first few. So it is definitely a quantity, not quality sort of run. I think this weekend, I am going to stock up on Three of Coins, and then just run strikes non-stop. I'm not going to farm the scourge of winter again, but I will pop the coins on the bosses. Not to mention, it was fun as hell running two Sunbreakers, and a Nightstalker! Chris was jizzing orbs all over the place, and Lee and I were bathing in it (Sounds gross, but it was fun!)

I like Boobs, because Boobs, I mean honestly, whats not to like? Unless they are sad boobs. Sad boobs make me cry. Nothing worse than seeing a pair that looks like two fried eggs nailed to a wall. Its like two suicide notes stuffed in a glitter bra. so yea, Boobs, I like them

If anything, Bungie has given you the tools to NOT feel this way. Thats what infusing is for. I was given a light level 200 AR that I absolutely loved. I infused it 4 or so times and it is now a 260+ light level AR Also my Titan Class Armor Also my Titan Boots Hell, ALL of my titans gear is hand picked based off of what I want, and then infused to be better. EDIT: should have read the whole thread, nevermind

why? I posted instructions to get a 6 person team together. You shouldn't need a random at all, just two people to spam orbit hops

oh hey, do we know if the Class item bonus to Rep stacks with the Nightfall rep bonus?

Most of my heavies are Void, but thats it.

Fan theory on why we can't enter the city. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3lwoht/a_theory_on_why_were_not_allowed_in_the_city/ Personally, I had read a few times in the grimoire that the people of the city were scared of the Guardians. This plays up to that nicely.

Awesome! I read this morning that as long as you never back out of a level 36, the rewards start to stack, they reset every fifth run though. Basically just start one and then never back out to the city or anything to increase your rewards.

yea, I read that Mini Crota was this weeks teir 3 court fight. Also, apparently every third fight it resets back to 1? Do you know if that was confirmed? also also, we need to get a 6 person group in on this!

Go read this post if you want more Lore. It is HUGE https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3lv2bm/a_somewhat_comprehensive_guide_to_the_origins_of/ A (Somewhat) Comprehensive Guide to the Origins of the Alien Factions in Destiny

I hit light level 277 on my Titan last night. Thanks to a level 300 Fusion Rifle. I am going to farm regular level 36 strikes tonight, Send an FR r party invite and then join in if you want

Is it just me or does it feel like the game wants you to focus on one character more than we used to?
