I just use a machine gun or the sleeper these days.

Yes. Daily Heroics, CoO and Black Spindle mission. (reply)

Thanks for the general advice. I'll probably get rid of the cluster bombs one, infusing it into either Truth or Tamarind. Those are definitely the rockets I'll be using in PvP, so my question was actually a little more PvE oriented.

Does anyone feel like there are good spots for rocket use in PvE anymore? It seems like the Machine Gun is the way to go in Kings Fall. I've had some success using rockets in high-ad situations.

I feel the tracking with truth is a year 2 problem that no one has spoke about.

In year 1 the aggressive track was well, aggressive. The guardian you where shooting at could run away, through a hall way, jump off a cliff and hide round a corner and the rocket would be on his ass every step of the way. I shot some rockets in year 1 that curved so hard in the air I could hear its tires screeching.

In year 2 my truth either doesnt lock on (fast enough?), doesn't track (stupid wide turn radius or just going straight without turning) or doesn't proximity detonate. Far too often and I will be out played by a raid rocket just by the guy jumping over my truth rocket whilst he is standing DEAD STRAIGHT in front on me.

I think truth needs its rockets adjusting again to either improve the tracking / instant lock on / proximity detonation.

Thanks. (reply)

Easy exotic shards (reply)

Funkmon — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:18:59 +0000

Buy a heavy weapon exotic. Use telemetry. Put in 6 motes to fully upgrade it. Dismantle. 2 shards for the price of one, some motes, and a telemetry.

Definitely shard the gun.

Wait, people use that gun? (reply)

Boolean Gemini is actually pretty awesome impact/stability/sound/feel-wise. The sights are just awful, though, which pretty substantially undermines the rest of the experience for me.

I sharded mine a while back…

Okay, seriously, should I shard it? I'm pretty desperate for exotic shards.

OR BAD JUJU (reply)

Claude Errera — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 02:00:33 +0000

I would level up the raid machine gun with that 317 and 320 if you don't already have one at 320.

Otherwise, level up a Truth for your y2 rocket needs. In crucible there are too many good legendaries to need to worth about giving up your exotic slot. Unless you run TLW or MIDA as your main weapon.

I can't believe you'd forget the Juje...

The truth will set you free

Truth rocks, but it is rare I feel comfortable giving up my exotic slot for it. :(

I actually find tracking to not be very useful in PvP. More often than not, it curves into a wall or something. Proximity detonation is way better in my experience.

As far as heavies go, I don't really use rockets the much anymore. In PvE, Terminus is great, and Sleeper Simulant is really great. Grenades take care of crowd control.

Truth is great, but I don't find it a must have.

Also, there has been a couple times that truth's tracking actually keeps me from getting the hit.

truth has proximity detonations, so you just have to decide if you want tracking or not. Don't scope in if there is too much geometry between you and where you're aiming (and hope the proximity gets them). If there is a lot of geometry, but you are out in the open (no geometry above you), lock on and then shoot straight up at the sky.

I do this on rusted lands all the time. Makes it easy to stand in the water at C, and hit the sniper on the storage tank near A. The rockets go way up in the air, then come down like a javelin.
