Weekly Reset, Winters run Rainbow Burn!

I'm excited about this. I remember when Winters Run kicked my A & I hated it, now I"m like, "Sweet! This'll be fun!"

Sniping on the 3 wave section...

I haven't run it yet, but I'm seeing a lot of talk about a "fix" on the 3 wave section. If no one is in the area where the Vex spawn when a wave is cleared, it will restart that wave.

I guess this would be a good glimmer farming spot this week.

I wonder if the Ketch is considered "inside the area"... Given the excellent sightlines that it gives you, that would be a ridiculous amount of glimmer in a short time.

So if Bungie accidentally creates an exploit from a fix...someone finish the joke, it's hurting my brain thinking about the recursion.

Ketch is just lkke the rock. It doesn't count as part of the area. You could do the same from there.

@Bungie: Recent changes to the Winter’s Run Strike are unintentional. We’re looking into it. More on this topic, soon.

Well, that explains a bit.

Narc: "huh, I'm only at 217[or some crap]."
Me: "You're a crazy person for finding that many hydras."
Narc: "No, but I mean that is what it was at when I checked it last."
*checking mine*
Me: "Yeah, I'm still at 121, and we've killed at least 3 dozen since then."
Narc: "Must be laggy."
Me: "Yep."

We even had races to steal each other's hydra kills! AND FOR WHAT?! FUN? WHAT A WASTE!

I used to get mad at Nico for killing those Hydras before I could get a shot into 'em... but then realized they do me no good, grimoire-wise. :(

Possible solution.

by Funkmon @, Tuesday, April 21, 2015, 17:30 (3741 days ago) @ Claude Errera

As long as you don't tell him that, you can pull off a nice confidence scheme. "Hey, if you just let me kill this first one, you can have the next five!"

It could work elsewhere, too.

"Oh, the moon Troll Patrol VIP mission? No, that's a lot of hard work. I'll just get that for you."

And he would never know.

You get credit for your fire team's kills if you are close enough to them. No shots required. It seems to apply to random guys in patrol as well. As long as you are close, their kills are yours.

Doesn't apply in this case; we usually take up very different positions for that 3-wave battle. (I like the rock in front of the Hobgoblin cave. He likes the sniper perch where you come out from the caves.)

We were just talking about that this morning. I was lamenting the lack of progress on my Grimoire and thought I should have a lot more from this Strike alone. Didn't know that Majors don't count… :-\

True with Ogres, too (which is why I'm still 100 away from finishing that silly card).

Just run the first room in the Undying Mind strike. You fight like 4-6 Hydras. Once you kill them, go to orbit, rinse and repeat... If, you know, grinding for Grimoire score is your thing. (Heck, I'd be up for it).

Step 1: Go to Mars Patrol
Step 2: Go to the black garden gate
Step 3: Kill all the things
Step 4: wait 30-45 seconds
Step 5: Repeat steps 3-4

If you really want to just farm Hydra, there's a faster option: go into the Black Garden, in the penultimate area (where you build a conflux from two points). Just as you get in there's a Hydra. Kill it, kill yourself, do it again. (Less than 30-45 seconds between iterations, and nothing else to kill.)

Farming's boring, though. Doing it for real's more fun. :)

I used this method and it was boring as hell. But I was able to do Kill and Collect bounties the majority of the time while doing this to add rep.
