Fun with Tripmines *Video* (Destiny)

by CruelLEGACEY @, Toronto, Thursday, December 03, 2015, 20:28 (3517 days ago)

I put together a little PvP montage using Trials and Iron Banner footage I've been recording. After going through all the footage, a common "theme" became apparent: I really like tripmines :)

Here's a link to the video:

ps

For the DBO mods/admins, is it possible to embed wordpress video here on the site? Just curious :)

Probably wouldn't be that hard to code up an iFrame for a bare .mp4 link (from Wordpress or anywhere) - but it would be far less user-friendly, because it would rely on the user knowing whether the video was embeddable or not. :)

I can definitely think about it, though.

I was just wondering if support was already in place... I'm sure it wouldn't be worth the trouble, it's such a niche request :)

Young Ahamkara's spine is quickly becoming my favorite exotic for PvP. I don't even miss a 4th golden gun shot when I can have 2 crazy long lasting trip mines.

When I do play gunslinger I love it. Blade Dancer I typically use the Sealed Ahamkara Grasps with fast twitch (unlimited blink strike). I have been using my nightstalker on Xbox. The subclass isnt leveled and I do not have good guns, so I rely heavily on my abilities at times. I am LOVING the smoke grenade. I need to use nightstalker this trials to try it out.

You don't trigger your own tripmine grenades?

Maybe I should reconsider leveling up that old dusty hunter of mine...

Nope! BUT if you do stick someone, and it lands just right, it will get you too...

You can if you try

I'm an expert at killing myself with trip mines, which is why I used to use swarm grenades. I've gotten better lately though.

You can set off your own trip mine for about a second after you throw it. Have done it before trying to set off my Super while hiding.

Your trip mine eventually explodes after a certain amount of time being stuck to something. This will inevitably occur when you are running past it for some important reason, and you'll die.

Enemies running past your trip mine can set it off while you are chasing them. You'll feel pretty stupid after this one, especially when they survive.

If you stick an enemy with a trip mine and it's pointing towards you, it will kill you as it explodes. Much more common in PvE with larger enemies.

Finally, enemies can shoot your trip mine as you are throwing it. This is why it's a bad idea to use trip mines while shooting at the Sisters. Also can happen while trying to activate a Super.
