Ghost Pirate 101

I've hit this reasonably hard with my hunter and hit 683 yesterday, high enough to try tier 3 Reckoning once I've unlocked it. The new vanguard/drifter quest line seems to reward powerful gear too as you progress by the way. Scourge is definitely worth running if you get a chance, big power boost there.

I tried to post my details earlier, but the website crashed and lost my response.

Check the very top left of the map on the select mission screen - I thought it was bugged initially but I had just missed the icon!

Decided to switch from Storm to Colossus for a bit for the last few levels to 30 while I helped my mate do the campaign, and quickly outlevelled my Storm due to Epic drops and a few Masterwork weapons that dropped including a grenade launcher. I think I experienced the start of those server issues trying to hit 30 before bed, as I got repeatedly kicked out of the expedition I started. Gave up and switched off in the end, only to be greeted by the PS4 system repair screen this morning...

Yes, can confirm this is the case, you need to charge the shot to get the detonation.

Never mind, we weren't to know! The GM1 stronghold was good fun though, challenging without feeling unfair, even at the level I was at (26 I think).

Without giving anything away, you've got several tough encounters to go before you see the credits!

Managed to do the sidequests in the Witcher quest last night, just need one more piece to build the Geralt set! Briefly tried the Ancient Leshen with randoms, didn't go too well...

The weapon is a random drop from the final (wave 7) boss. Repeated killings of the final boss increases your odds of getting the weapon to drop, and you can now resume at wave 6 which makes farming the drop rather easier than it used to be!

Blimey

Oh wow, I'm pretty sure I saw that suggested in raid secrets a few hours ago!

I bloody love Prepare to Try, will miss the boys on the podcast but very interested to see what they have planned!

The beta version of DIM now has a loadout builder, it's worth a look, very useful! https://beta.destinyitemmanager.com

@Scruff did you guys have to do anything to increase DPS?

Yeah, going to use my raid seed of light to unlock the void tree on my Warlock, looks interesting!
