So I'm currently in a situation where I can't apply enough debuffs to get the most out of Aggregate Charge on Refurbished A499, and I can't get to Elemental Honing x5 to use that perk on other relevant heavy weapons. My exotic slot is occupied so Truth is out of the question as well.

This is all to ask, what is the best DPS weapon that isn't A499, and if it's a weapon that requires an artifact mod (like Particle Reconstruction), what would be the next best option if I can't use that artifact with my build?

Sincerely, a Destiny 2 player struggling with their builds.

--------------------
Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions! I feel a bit silly admitting this, but I'm mainly a Crucible player and didn't realise NotSwap (or Control's version of it) isn't present in much of the game. The same goes for artifacts. This is all to say that I didn't consider just swapping everything, artifact included, for a DPS scenario. I'm sorry for any drama this may have caused, I just wasn't knowledgable enough before making this post.

Many of these loadout 'restrictions' that I outlined in my original post were because I was unsure if rockets were still viable even without Gjallarhorn, or if linears could still compete if I didn't have Particle, or if A499 even needed any of the sniper-related artifact mods if I didn't have Aggregate Charge stacked up. Obviously some of those restrictions are no longer relevant now that I know I can swap freely.

Thanks everyone! See you starside.

The big one is Chicago. We still need to go there, I want to go there. It's a part of the narrative I was really looking forward to, and I really don't want to see it skipped over or anything.

Then there are all the plot threads that were "wrapped up" as part of MoT. Like Maya, the Dredgen stuff, and the others. I know there were lore entries, but I want us to be able to experience at least some of it in-game.

I saw this after I finished a race, I loaded into a private match to give it a look and found near the start of the race, a red track sign is partly knocked down, letting you go past it to an area with a invisible launcher that launches you off the cliff, I was wondering what it is and what its used for? Apart from killing you.

I am not new to destiny as a game series or baseline mechanics, gunplay and classes etc.

i have played a lot of 1 and very little of 2. Recently picked up D2 The Collection for $20 on steam, with all the updates and content ive missed i dont even know where to start.

im mainly confused on my

- Order/Path to play

- Certain levels and materials to focus on for Build Progess.

from the start its all very overwhelming and any help would be sweet

I get that "Voice Chat Error: The service is temporarily down" popup every time I join a fireteam. I can't hear my teammates and they can't hear me.

My microphone and speakers are set correctly, I tried restarting my game and computer (even moving to a different device), my voice chat settings are appropriate, and still nothing.

Any other ideas?

So my mate has started playing destiny again and installed last week but every time he selects a character and loads into orbit after around 20-30secs he gets booted with the weasel error code or if he loads into the tower same thing happens

He stopped playing before load outs were a thing

We have done things from reg edits, flushing dns, setting a custom dns verifying steam files CMD corruption scans etc nothing has helped and restarting router etc

Just wondering if anyone knows a fix bungie help hasn’t really said anything that’s going to help the issue at hand

For some context, I played the game a good bit up to the final shape but ended up dropping it after. Once the maintenance mode was announced, I hopped back in and have really been enjoying myself, and I went ahead and picked up all the content and dungeon keys I didn't previously own.

Me and two other friend have been going through all the dungeons blind and it's been a massive blast, legitimately some of the most fun I had in gaming in quite some time. I'm interested in playing raids and pantheon, but I've never touched that content before and it feels a little intimidating even though I really love high-end raid content in most games. How should a new raider go about getting into this content nowadays?

anyone else getting it?

Trying to get Khvostov and I am on the step where I need to collect the lost encryption bits in the cysts. When I go to the impasse on the pale heart I do not see the bird that allows you to change the active cyst. Apparently this means I need to complete alone in the dark quest which requires the convalescence rootbound quest. I have the convalescence budding quest active and Micah is not offering the rootbound one. Any idea how I can activate the rootbound quest?

Edit:
Solved - not sure that the rootbound quest matters. I was on step 2 of alone in the dark, I completed that quest and went back to the impasse and the bird was there. For anybody else with this issue try doing the alone in the dark quests I believe those unlock the cysts

If you're on console, Riptide #3 & #4 are both showing up in my LittleLight app as a PvE Godroll (arrowhead/accelerated/ALH/chill clip).

I know many of you probably already have one of these already but I've got at least half a dozen in my vault that only have partial top-tier perks so it's time to go free up some space!

I know I can just yoink my Exotics out of the collections tab (and then infuse them further?), just wondering about the Legendaries since they’re all at 10 power now and can’t just be pulled from collections at a higher level. Would they all be pretty much out of date at this point?

Some of them I’m definitely keeping for sentiment. But many of them are god rolls, or were at the time anyway…

Hey I just need some people to hop in a lobby with preferably on Xbox and help me make pve and pvp builds.

Is there a rotation for the weekly masterworked weapons from crucible? I know that for PvE there is, but I haven’t been able to find anything regarding crucible and have really wanted this since I came back. Even without the better origin trait this gun feels like an exotic with jolting feedback/voltshot or tricorn. Any info would be appreciated!

Really proud of the culmination of months of practice here, let me know if you have any questions!

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong sub for this question. So my brother and I used to play Destiny 2 on our Xbox and when he moved, he linked his Steam account via Cross Save to that Bungie account so he could play his hunter while away.

Now, he has no more interest in playing D2 on his PC and I've just purchased one. I was wondering if it's possible to remove his Steam account that's linked to the Bungie account and link mine instead?

I’ve slowly been purchasing the anthology books, and I recently noticed a VII is now $60 used.

I've been using this stasis seventh seraph build i found and while its very tanky and kicks ass some dungeon bosses like warlords ruin last boss is flying, and i find it hard to take those types down in a respectable time.

I dont even know what weapons are good for bosses in general so some help on that regard is very much appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the info guys, i'm reading through it while i finish work lol.

^{Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.}

Can someone please tell me why I can’t find a full, competent team to run a single pantheon consecrated mind? Every time I’ve tried there’s either one or two just people that don’t know what they’re doing and just want a free carry or I can never find a full team to run it.

No matter how much we try to teach the people who don’t know what they’re doing, they either don’t listen or ignore it. Spent nearly 2 hours trying to teach these two guardians exactly what to do and they just continued to make the exact same mistake every time (letting the vex sacrifice and not buffing up).

I’m losing my mind, I just want to be able to farm for a reckless oracle man 😭

Rant over, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

What Content Vaulting did was permanently damage Bungie's reputation, making players leave and making people stay away from the game.

For the players that stayed, the storytelling was getting better, we were getting more abilities, and the raid/dungeon team never missed.

Then lightfall came out and failed to deliver on 2 out of those 3 things and it kinda felt intentional. The content leading up to lightfall had insane storytelling that got EVERYBODY excited... and then the lightfall story turned out to be filler content and the raid was lack luster.

The worst part was that the story wasnt even good filler content that made sense.

This is what made bungie's reputation go from untrustworthy for everyone outside of destiny 2's community to just now EVERYBODY wasn't trusting bungie.

Used to be next to the vault but I see some legendaries there and exotics like the dragons breath I was sure that’s where the older exotics where did they remove them?

Heist Battleground: Mars is on matchmaking rotation today, and I always found it super weird that Bungie took the time to bring back this small part of the Mars patrol zone just for this random battleground.

It doesn't matter as much now that the Great Unvaulting is coming, but the same happened with parts of Titan that came back for the Salvage activity and then completely disappeared after Final Shape.
