Just look at this beauty you can get after 50 rank ups!

How come Zavala and Shaxx are the only full time vendors with neat stuff like this? I'm eager to see what Iron Banner and Faction Rally brings.

Yeah! I saw that too! Luckily I already saved up about 200 tokens, so that was 15 levels. Now if only the gunsmith would have a sweet ship cause I would instantly get it with my 2000+ materials :D

Uggh, one of my weapon quests has me doing 5 heroic strikes with an IKELOS weapon equipped. So I did one, with the weapon equipped, and used most of the time. It was the strike where you have to kill Xol. It was hard as eff. After it was all done, it still said I had completed 0/5. wtf. Pass.

Yeah, the Heroic Strikes are kinda glitched with the weapon. It's worked about 50/50 for me. Don't give up though!

Supposedly after you launch the activity but before you enter it, check that the game is displaying "Heroic Strike Playlist" and not the name of the strike. If the former, then you're good. If the latter, you're experiencing the bug.

I have that quest lined up too, but haven't actually done any heroic strikes yet since getting that step. If it's bugged in general, I'll wait. But if ManKitten's experience was just a one-off fluke, that's different.

So Bungie said something about it being kinda finicky... Basically there is a way for you to not select heroic strikes sometimes when you actually select it... Basically you need to make sure it actually says the right title before you hit start. Another way to make sure it is the right one is that it should have modifiers on when you are playing.

I had that happen to me. I selected heroic strikes, but instead of saying "Heroic Strikes" in the corner of the screen when I hit the launch button, it said the name of a strike, like in D1 when you selected an individual strike. I backed out and tried again and it said "Heroic Strikes" again.

Yeah, that's basically the only real bug. Which isn't much of a problem unless you are just going through the motions and don't notice it. But they still need to fix it :D

I didn't notice if it said Heroic Strikes but it did have 3 modifiers on the bottom left of the screen. It was memorable because one of them was for Solar and the screen disappeared before I could read if Solar was going to be strong or weak!

The modifiers will show up when you're selecting the playlist either way (though, I think they get bumped after just a second or two by the name of the strike you're dropping into if it's the buggy version). You have to bring up your ghost after you land and make sure they're still listed on that screen. If you can see the modifiers there, then you're good to go.

I'll double check. But I have to say, I beat the mission in the campaign by myself without problem, but for the strike, 3 of us guardians took 4 attempts to beat it and it was difficult. So if that WASN'T the heroic strike, than I'm especially not interested in trying the heroic version.

I'm not gonna lie, heroic is rough. Expect to wipe at least a couple times on each boss until you get the hang of it. That is, if you are running with blueberries.

Yeah, that’s a known issue. Hopefully it’s fixed soon.

Yikes, that's disheartening news.

I found playing under leveled in Heroic Strikes for this quest quite difficult. Knowing the IKELOS quest isn't working properly puts the brakes on for me until it's fixed.

Super Easy Workaround

As MacAddict mentioned above, the bug in question is 100% detectible, and you can tell right from the beginning of the Strike if it'll count or not. Just pull out your Ghost and see if the three Heroic Modifiers are listed on the right side of the screen.

Apart from that, when you're ready to launch the playlist from the Director, it should say "Heroic Strike Playlist" for the activity name, rather than the name of a specific Strike. When I was doing this quest, the only time we had issues with this bug were when we were trying to launch into the playlist while we were already in another activity. If we went into the playlist from Orbit, we had no issues (but that may just be luck).

Either way, it's really not that bad.
