A handy-ish tip for Crota's End's end (spoilers) (Destiny)

Finally! Finally managed to play and beat the new raid; thanks everyone who suffered my low-ish level with reasonable grace and good humour. :) I wasn't a total drag on the team, though, because I was the "Oversoul's Bane" of the team due to a nifty quirk.

When you shoot the Oversoul the game doesn't seem to register hits against a model... as far as the weapon is concerned, you're spraying the air with lead. Some weapons have a perk that returns missed shots to the magazine; my favourite Exotic heavy, Super Good Advice, returns almost all such misses when the perk's unlocked. So when the Oversoul spawned I'd pull out SGA, blaze away, and when the Oversoul despawned from the damage I'd only be down a dozen or so rounds on the belt. (Be advised one SGA alone probably isn't enough to derez it in time to save the team, so it's not a cheap avenue to victory.)

Dunno how useful a tip this is, but thought I'd share in case someone finds it handy.

-- Steve had a blast on the raid, even during the frustrating bits.
