It's easier than you think. I'm terrible at shooting invaders but I got 4 hand cannon kills across 2 or 3 matches and then my 9 year old got the last one for me. Use Crimson, run and hide when they invade and then let your team mates whittle him down and you steal the kill. The bit that comes after the bit that comes after that id probably more of a faff

Same. Emptied about 1k of tokens into the horny faced twat and got about 5 of everything except the bloody cape.

Yep, all +5s will be deprecated. Think you can then dismantle them, on armour at least. Just dismantle all your spare mods into components now. Components are the mod purchase currency going forward.

After watching Detroit recently, was hoping Will Poulter might get the gig, he's got the eyebrows and he can definitely play an evil muthafucka. Phoenix is a good choice, he's compelling to watch in whatever he does. You Were Never Really Here was a bit of a mumblethon though.

The SMG that is dropping for some is rather nice too. Some chap got one rolled with high cal rounds, zen moment and kill clip. Mmmm crispy.

Just played my first Crucible match. Ridiculous fun. Grenades and melees have been buffed and it feels like it straight away, you just feel powerful. Starting with a shotgun is great but they don't overload you with ammo so you need to pick your shots. You can then go for a snipe if you so wish. I was killed literally from first spawn with a sniper as I turned the corner and I just laughed. The new armour perks, faster reload on this, extra ammo reserve on that, are back finally. Utterly baffling why they took them out in the first place but whatever. Now gives me the chance to chase that perfect loadout rather than just using the single armour set I had on for all of year one because 'it looks alright I s'pose'. With Gambit, random rolls, new raid and all that other lovely stuff, I think this has the chance to be the best version of Destiny yet.

Starring DanTDM as Uldren. Looks fucking great, can't wait.

I was a bit ‘ugh, fuck all that noise’ with the Solstice stuff but have thoroughly enjoyed the ‘grind’ (hate that word) but as always it works best in co-op. Playing the redux missions with mukr mates has been great fun. They’re tough enough now to mean you really need a fireteam and have been a real breath of fresh air over the current strikes. In fact, redoing campaign stuff has shown up just how lacklustre a lot of the standard strikes are. The orbs/kills stuff is mostly achieved though those missions and the extra bits can be done by farming EP for half an hour. No biggie. The biggest pain was getting the 5 wins in crucible, which is still a bit a mess.

Another from Goose’s list, Hold the Dark, just dropped a trailer. Looks to maintain Saulnier’s unique brand of ‘tense as fuck’

Outlaw King looks pretty good

Valour will get bumps from ALL PvP activity in S4 including IB so it will be constantly ticking up every time you go on to the crucible. The triple points weekends also make it super easy , if you get a bit of a win streak bonus going you can rank up in 3 or 4 games.

Longer Golden Gun and throwing knife instakills is fantastic news. It’s just been viable since D2 came out. Ace of Spades was a beast in D1, can’t wait to get my hands on it. It always had firefly though. It’s exotic perk was return one round to chamber on crit kills. Edit: get what you mean now, of course firefly hasn’t been in D2 so far. Even more excited now

Story missions will be replayable in Heroic straight from the director after Forsaken drops. There will also be daily story missions with challenges and hopefully some decent loot. They’ve also spoken about a new ‘upgrading’ masterworks mechanic in your armour which will presumably be similar to what they’ve done with the Solstice gear.

Bungie, please nerf. Titan's do have something that reflects bullets when you slide or something but I wasn't really paying attention. The Hunter 'double dodge' chest reveal snapped me back out of it.

The new exotics they've just announced for Forsaken do seem to signify a continuation Bungie's new 'fuck it, LOL!' philosophy. all potentially game-breaking, all sound fucking ace. Agree that they need to make the legendaries more exciting to keep up with the mental exotics but with the new more meaningful mods, new perks and potential of random rolls, I'm confident Forsaken will deliver. Let's face it, it has to. A mix of finally beating Spire, getting the Whisper and polishing of all the current Triumphs, I have also had the most fun week in D2 for a long time.
