Xurs wares for Friday the 13th (Destiny)

Here you are.

Nothing special. Knucklehead radar isnt bad. Insurmountable Skullfort is good stuff for Titans because of the orb pick ups. Useful in Crotas End. I have a red Death, but just started messing around with it so I cannot vouch for this purchase yet.

Happy Friday guys

Nothing special? Don't know if people should buy Red Death? You need to get that thing out and use it. You're missing out.

I have just had such an influx of weapons come in lately I havent really had a chance to use them all and its just been sitting. I used it before the buff and Didnt really care for it. I used it last night in PVP. The low spread of the bursts is really nice. I still prefer Oversoul Edict at the moment. Super awesome.

In the event that, the Iron Banner yelds the gear seen, I shall be playing Destiny PVP. For the first time. Ever. In that event I'll need a team - I'm NOT doing randoms.

I hear that some of us at DBO are so good that they can survive as soldiers of fortune. So... since no one else can help, I'm hopeing someone here can help me find them... so then maybe, just maybe, I can "hire"... The A-Team.

Killing the endless knights on Siege of the Warmind (30) works best with 3 people with consumables active. You get 58 glimmer every 10 seconds. One hour should net 20k glimmer + item drops.

I've been using this method lately. Instead of running around, I'll sit back farther away using icebreaker to shoot into this loot cave. you can get around 85 glimmer every 5-6 seconds. Works great if you have multiple people farming with you.

by Durandal, Friday, March 13, 2015, 16:45 (3352 days ago) @ unoudid

The difference is that the Warmind mission gives you hive majors, so you can hit most of Eris's bounties easily plus it benefits more from consumables. The extra BWI and Silk drops will put you ahead over the Venus cave, plus you don't have to worry about people coming by to run a mission.

I mean he got lucky enough that a little blue Japanese man with a gun for and arm and an executable file attached to his name poked the bear in the eye enough times that the bear said "watch them deal with this". Granted I was lucky enough as well as Knucklehead is my #1 hunter helm. And damn there have been way too many Red Deaths in crucible this morning.

When the final Ogre spawns, knights spawn as well. Hide from the Ogre, and kill the knights. They must keep spawning forever until the Ogre is dead. That'd be my guess.

lol - if that's true, I completely understand now why I didn't know this. :)

(My strategy on that mission is to kill the ogre as quickly as possible - preferably before any of the knights even GET to me. By a huge margin, the main cause of death in this entire mission for me is being caught by the ogre's eye blast as I'm leaping around to avoid knights; I have found it simpler just to nuke the ogre asap from the center position (farthest from the knights' spawn areas) than to deal with that frustration. :) )

Not that you need another reason to get Red Death, but I just saw this on Reddit... Apparently, shooting your tripmine grenade counts as a kill for Red Death's health regen triggering purposes -- so you don't even need to find a thrall to kill while fighting Crota!

buy red death before the armor

by DreadPirateWes, Friday, March 13, 2015, 20:43 (3352 days ago) @ Dan de Board

i have all hunter exotics split up among my two hunters, and knucklehead radar is way down my list of exotics to wear. symbiote is my go-to helmet. don't touch me can be a lifesaver. i also prefer alpha lupi or lucky rasberry. if you're just collecting, yay!

i'm not a titan, but the destinydb review of skullfort is not good.

i got red death right before the pulse rifle bump and was really excited. however, it's not quite what i was hoping for in PvE. however, it's perk can certainly be useful if you don't have another way to regen health.

...and if not, there are two other ways to get a guaranteed strange coin: (a) finishing the assault on the ketch mission on Venus (only the first time for each character), and (b) the lesser-known way - find all five gold chests on Mars. You've probably already got the Venus mission one on your character(s), but you might not have the coin from getting the chests on Mars. Even if you do -- running ROC strikes for a few hours should easily net you a few coins from blue engrams.

Expect people not to run from Thorn as much. If Red Death beats Thorn it's health regen perk will far more than cancel Thorn's poison.
