Good luck thread !! (Destiny)

I haven't had a ton of drops in a short period like that, but the ones I have gotten over the past few weeks have been fortuitous and filled in specific gaps in my arsenal.

First, snipers. I had a Y-09 Longbow Synthesis (weird name, good gun) in void and needed an arc sniper and a solar to have legendary options for everything. As it happens, an LDR 5001 (arc) and another Longbow (solar) both dropped in a pretty short period. The LDR doesn't have armor-piercing rounds, but it's still good. Definitely made this week's nightfall/heroic strike easier. And the solar Longbow has a "Hawkeye" scope which seems much more forgiving at medium range than other sniper scopes.

Then, HMGs. A couple weeks ago, I got a solar Harm's Way. Decent stability, which I like. Then had Song of Ir Yut drop from the raid. Normally I stay away from HMGs with max fire rate since their stability sucks, but this gun's got oddly high stability for an HMG in its class. Also, it absolutely DESTROYED in this week's nightfall/heroic strike. I still needed a new void HMG, and TBH I wasn't looking forward to it because it would mean giving up my old (300 attack) Deviant Gravity, which is my favorite HMG. So, guess what dropped from one of my nightfall runs this week? That's right, a shiny new 331 attack Deviant Gravity, with void damage. I may have yelled into my teammates' ears a little loudly when that came up. :)
