Perfect. I just ran the final missions last night after reading this and got the purple mini Mida. I'll do the scout rifle stuff tonight for the Multi Tool.
Yeah I hear you on this. I am impatient and tend to charge in. I'm trying to do less of that.
Seeing the videos on how the effective ranges on weapons are so important, I feel like I've improved a ton. Just knowing to switch to Scout for longer range and Auto for midrange encounters is really helpful for me. Game feels much easier now. I'm already getting better at headshots so maybe it's just a matter of being comfortable and getting more practice in.
Still, the really small field of view and relatively imprecise controls feels weird, but it's getting more familiar.

Just make sure the last thing you do for the week (in terms of "Powerful Rewards") is the MIDA quest. Do one milestone, check your gear to see what can be upgraded with blues and upgrade those so your base power level goes up, do another milestone, upgrade again, etc. Then grab one of the clan rewards, upgrade, etc. Finally do the MIDA quest and it will be as high as you can get it this week.
Also, MIDA is pure ass for PVE. You should do the Zavala quest to complete two strikes (which is a pre-req for the Nightfall anyway) and choose Nameless Midnight as your reward. I infused my first MIDA (~285 power) into NM, then made sure my second and third ones were both 305 and infused them into NM again and Manannan SR4. Power level doesn't mean dick for pvp so just re-buy the MIDA from the vault to use it.
And Manannan SR4 is the Nameless Midnight of energy scouts; it has Explosive Payload just like NM does, *not* High-Caliber Rounds. If you want HCR for the energy slot too, get a Uriel's Gift or Tone Patrol (Pleaides Corrector is better, but you missed the faction rally I'm guessing). PVP meta seems to be MIDA/Uriel since it doesn't make a lot of sense to put scouts in both slots.

Yep if you pve, nameless is where its at. For PvP its no slouch either. It does not have the 200 fire rate of the MIDA, but it holds its own. Good Ars drop like candy in this game, at least for me they did I had like 10 uriels drop already and IMO thats one of the best. Scatherlocke is good too in both PvE and PvP. FWC The Number is good, Jingashi A4 or whatever is good, kind of like the Uriels type.
Finally got the Antiope-D to drop last night form gunsmith. Been farming that thing for a while. And man that thing is crazy with the kill clip. So fun to use. If you get one and like PvP, keep it. Its a slower firing SMG, 600 RPM, with great stability and better range than most SMGs, but that kill clip, essentially if you kill someone, the next clip the headshots go from 20 dmg to 26 dmg, lol, with 600 RPM! In medium range you will beat any Uriels bcause of ROF. Run it with a scout in your secondary slot.

Hm, not sure I agree with that. Nameless Midnight is really, really good for both PvE and PvP (the explosive rounds cause a bit of flinch), besides, if you do IB you can get an AR which looks to be as good / better than Origin Story.

Thanks good tips on maxing my power before getting the MIDA. I definitely have been playing like a filthy casual and not maxing my engrams. I didn't save my tokens or anything like that. I'm at 250 right now just mixing it up between normal strikes and world events. I tried Nightfall mission with my brother who was around 280 and we got smoked. I was only 220- 230 or so? at the time, and only 2 people so I think now we can do it with 3.
I didn't realize there were clan rewards... gotta check that. I'm not in a clan, I'll check the OP.
For PVE I love Origin Story, but still undecided on what to go with it. Scout Rifle is my preference now that I get what the function is, not loving the one I have now so I'll look into the Manannan.
Power weapon I tend to favor Fusion rifle for PVE and Shotgun or Rocket Launcher for PvP. Although one dude was wrecking with a sword in PvP so that made me want to try one.

Nameless Midnight only drops from Zavala, he gives it up as a quest reward during the campaign, you get a choice of 3 weapons, the AR, Scout, or Pulse rifle. Plus if you dont have one, just grind some strikes for his tokens, basically all vanguard weapons are really good. Rocket launcher is one of best in game.

It's the best thing to use to complete the SMG step of the MIDA quest too. You don't actually have to be in the air when you kill stuff, just on higher elevation, so take it to a Lost Sector like the one up north on Io where people farmed faction tokens and shoot everything from up high and you're done in no time. Every other SMG I've seen has jack shit for range and is a pain in the ass to kill anything with, including the Mini-tool itself.

Last night I played for a bit, first time since like thurs, anyway, I got 2 exotic engrams to drop, both ACDO feedback fence or whatever the fuck they are called. My titan seems to be cursed to get shitty exotic arms from 9 out of 10 exotic engrams.

I still want at least one 305 character so that I can get 305 engrams from vendors and be able to infuse all the weapons I like up to 305 as well. Doing them all to 295-299 or whatever would just annoy me because I know I'd have to do it all again. Or quit until the max BPL goes up in December(?).

More for a sake of completion. It's Not like I actually think one point is gonna make or break me.

Same shit that happened to most MMOs - people want to feel like they can get all the gear. So we have a token system now instead of something that rewards difficulty or experience.
There enough folks in the clan for PC release or is this dying before release on that platform here?
