You won't believe this DSC flawless trick! (Destiny)

Yeah, that's right, clickbait title!

In our flawless practice runs, the three things we've been needing to bolt down are:

  • A clean Sparrow run at the beginning – not too difficult, but we do get tripped-up occasionally. This is an easy fix.
  • The spacewalk. Just gonna have to be careful!
  • The Taniks final encounter. After some testing the other day, we decided that the four-bomb "challenge" strat is by far the most consistent and reduces the opportunities for error by a rather large margin, except for the fact that we've been having trouble with people dying while running the bombs. It's been a matter of half-seconds, but the consistency just hasn't been there. But, we figured it out!

A lot of the sauce is in hearing our conversations, so be sure to turn up the sound. For those of you who already knew the answer to this… you are free to make fun of us. But we had fun, and it sort of had the feeling of figuring out a blind raid, which I've missed dearly.

Just when my blood pressure returned to normal, you have to remind me of this shit.

I just knew there was no way in hell in Destiny of all things, a character stat would affect your movement while holding the McGuffin.

As you could hear, it took quite a bit of convincing to steer that ship. But damn, am I glad we figured this out!

I know Korny does not allow me to help with these runs because [dedacted comment], but I'll just say that when I ran DSC regularly, the main reason I died with a bomb was I got trapped too long. We were also particular about who picked up which bomb, and I seem to recall there was some skepticism about that mattering, too. Glad y'all figured it out. :-)

I would bet good money that at some point Chappy or squid said to me, "You might want to boost your mobility there, Kermit."

No wonder I always found it insane how much trouble y'all usually have. My Hunter is always spec'd with high mobility!

Great job with the Operator, btw. Barely any downtime :)

New one has already shipped, though. No clue how close to getting here yet

Good luck. I'm glad it's not last year at this time, because then your chances of getting a new one would be... lower.

Amen to that
