Imprecation: Final step tips & Video (Destiny)

A few days back, I posted about the Last Curse exotic quest; specifically how ball-bustingly tough the final step appeared to be. Luckily, a few DBOers pointed out that the quest description is actually quite misleading. Using the God-awful Hand Cannon that banshee gives you, you need to must complete a few challenges. The most difficult of these tasks is using the HC to get 7precision kills in a single crucible match.

What makes it so challenging is that you must use a hand cannon with horrific range and accuracy, a slow rate of fire, and a 6-shot clip. At best it's a 3 shot kill, but you rarely have time to fire 3 bullets once you engage an enemy, and if you do you probably won't hit anything.

To complete this step of the quest, I found I needed to change the way I approach PvP. I jumped into the Rumble playlist, hoping I could take advantage of the inherent chaos and score a few ambush kills. I went in as a Bladedancer with Lucky Rasburry. My plan was based on always having a grenade at spawn, super-quick weapon switches only possible with a Bladedancer, and blinking around the map like a fool.

It worked!

Instead of relying on my Hand Cannon to complete skirmishes, I would lead with a grenade or blink in with a long rang Chaperone blast; not enough to kill my target, but hopefully enough to bring them down to "1-headshot" health. I'd then do a quick swap to my primary and try to finish them off. Overall, this tactic worked pretty well. Managed to complete the quest on my second attempt, and on a map that generally favors long-range combat no less!

Hope this is helpful for anyone stuck on this portion of the Imprecation quest!
