Competitive Grind - Season of Whatever thoughts

Quite a few interesting sandbox changes were made in the latest TWAB, though I'd make a discussion post talking about the changes and what it means for me. Sniper changes: Grenade launcher changes, generally won't have an effect on PvP: Lord of Wolves: The long-awaited Last Word nerf: Some shotgun balancing: Fusion rifle changes, mostly to high-impact frames and backup plan: AUTO RIFLES GET A BUFF!! So what does all this mean? I

Update: The Two-Tap Orchid Is Mine.

Ordinarily, I'd be more upset about having a reload speed masterwork on a hand cannon. In this particular instance, having the reload masterwork is acceptable since I didn't get the curated roll featuring Drop Mag. As for the rest of my checklist, I've gotten 2 Gunnora's Axe rolls from Iron Banner. Both are decent rolls, but not quite what I'm after. I've been properly getting the hang of Thorn as well, leading to some straight up carnage in Iron Banner. The hunt for Gunnora's Axe co

4300 Glory - Comp Grind Update

Been a bit since my last update. I've since climbed up to 4300 Glory, about 2/3 through Mythic 2. I'll take this opportunity to give an update on my build as well, since I realized that I didn't actually talk about that in my last post(oops). Due to I'm More Comfortable On My Main Class, I've decided I'm going to rock my Hunter all the way to Legend as much as possible. I've changed my subclass, instead of running middle tree Arcstrider Way of The Current or bottom t

Legend Grind - Weapons I'm Using

I'm properly starting my grind to max rank(5500) in competitive, thought I'd post an update showcasing my various weapons I'm using on the road! First of all, let's take a look at the PvP meta, courtesy of the Charlemagne Discord bot: Because I really want to reach Legend this season, I'm not holding myself to any real standards like I normally would. I'm fully prepared to abuse the meta as much I need to if it means I can achieve my goal. Still not going to drop mys

High Impact Weapons Are Fun - D2 Shadowkeep

Decided today was a Warlock day, so I hopped into Rumble and started experimenting. I initially ran Coldheart and a curated Lonesome(Reckoning sidearm), but that didn't go over so nicely in a lobby of Recluses and Riskrunners. Following that, I started looking around in my vault for different kinetic weapons, as I still wanted to do a build with Coldheart. What I have for you today is not a build featuring Coldheart. Instead, I have a build that I'm tentatively namin

My Competitive Loadout in Shadowkeep

Wow, it's been a while. I do apologize for my absence, life got busy. Anyway, let's get right into it! New year of Destiny, new blog posts, hopefully. This entry will be discussing my competitive PvP loadout for Shadowkeep so far. It's been about a month since the Shadowkeep launch, so I figure this is a good time to fully document what I've been using to slay Guardians in the Crucible. First things first, there is a solo queue playlist, and comp is now 3v3 Survival. This

Graviton Lance in 2019 - Bonus Weekend Post

Recently got the catalyst for Graviton Lance, been essentially maining it in PvE and PvP as a result. Today, I'd like to talk a bit about this weapon. In the event of somebody not knowing Graviton Lance, I'll start by doing a quick run-down: Graviton Lance is an exotic Void pulse rifle. It fires a two-round burst, and features the Black Hole perk(second round does more damage, has no range falloff, and has more recoil), and the Cosmology trait: kills with

We're Back With Another Destiny 2 PvP Build

Let's talk about Liar's Handshake some more. This is easily one of my favorite exotics to run in PvP. It pairs excellently with top tree Arcstrider, Way of The Warrior. Before I get into all of that however, let's talk about Swashbuckler. Fallout Plays did a very good job of explaining it in his video along with some damage numbers, but I'll give you a basic rundown if you don't want to watch it. Swashbuckler is a damage increasing perk like Rampage. Unlike Rampage however,

Let's Talk about Luna's Howl

Missed yesterday's blog post, so you get a bonus weekend post today Yesterday, I finally acquired Luna's Howl and put it to some work in the Crucible: Today, I'll be talking about what weapons I've paired it with and what I think of it so far. First and foremost, I highly recommend you run hand cannon scavenger and reserve perks if you can. With Drop Mag, you burn through ammo pretty quickly. I actually ran out during a comp match last night. Secondly: Magnificen

[D2 PvP] Knock-off Titan

Titans punch things, it's what they're known for doing, it's the main thing they do. This build will knock a Titan out of his One Eyed Mask. Let's start by talking about top tree Arcstrider, Way of the Warrior. There are three perks of this subclass that I want to draw attention to: Combination Blow. Kills with this ability trigger health regenaration and increase melee damage for a short period. Combat Flow. Melee kills recharge your dodge ability. Dead

[D2 PvP] Iron Banner/Control

It's a new week, time for another blog post. Today: Zippy Boi v2: Hunter Edition Let's talk about the Iron Banner/Control gamemode. Running around capturing zones and killing people to gain points is fun. It can be tough sometimes, but it is fun. Especially if you equip the right loadout for doing so. Last time Saladin visited the tower, I perfected what I believe is my ideal loadout for the Control mode. The parts of this loadout are fairly simple: In my

[D2 PvP] Shooting and Yeeting

This is possibly the most map-specific build I've ever done. Be that as it may, it's still super fun. The main components of this build are the Last Word hand cannon and the Orewing's Maul grenade launcher. Let's start by talking about The Last Word: It is a 225 RPM hand cannon featuring the Fan Fire perk: this weapon can be fired quickly and continuously. Faster reload and increased accuracy on successive hip-fire damage. This hand cannon will 4-tap a typical G

[D2] Please Never Do This

This is just a quick post asking people never to do what this guy did: This is an Icarus Grip mod, on a grenade launcher. But why, Crunchy? Icarus Grips improve in-air accuracy, right? On most weapons, yes. However, all grenade launchers are 100% accurate from the air anyway. So this is essentially a waste of an Icarus Mod that this player will never use again unless they dismantle this Orewing's Maul. Icarus Grip is the most pointless mod you could

[D2 PvP] Shotgun/Recluse Warlock - Zippy Boi v1

So I've decided to main Warlock for a few weeks as I attempt to hone my skill on and improve with that class. I discovered Transversive Steps last night. In case you don't know what those are, T-Steps are a very fun Warlock exotic boot that makes you sprint faster and reloads your equipped weapon as you do it. Some of you may have gone to the same place I did. Immediately, out came the Parcel of Stardust and the Recluse. Why that specific combination, you ask? I'm glad you asked

[D2 PvP] Double Quickdraw and Auto Rifles in PvP

I am a very firm believer in the Quickdraw perk. I believe that I can say, without a doubt, that it's my favorite perk in the game. Some background... I like to play anti-meta outside the competitive playlist. For the purpose of this post, that means running an auto rifle. One that isn't Suros Regime. It means running an auto rifle with low recoil direction and stability stats. It means running a Halfdan-D in the Crucible. What does running a Halfdan-D in the Crucibl
