PS4:
I just hit level 30 and I have a few questions, do people do the level 26 raid anymore?
There is a quest that opens up like once a month when you are lv 40, It was a hidden quest to get the No Time to Explain exotic pulse rifle but now everyone knows about it and part of this quest is to kill Atheon (the last boss) so once that quest comes around, go to Destiny LFG and there will be plenty of groups trying to do it. Other than that there is still some good weapons to get from there, yr one weapons that are still viable in regular crucible like the pulse rifle, the full auto scout, and some others. Just go to Destiny LFG (download the App) and start a group for it and Im sure you will get people to sign up especially now when everybody is kinda bored of the TTK shit. Its a cool raid.
Why are there level 40's killing level 1-25s on patrols? Any rewards for finding all the dead ghosts and the like? Should I bother upgrading the strangers pulse rifle and that fusion that I got for the 25 marks? Anything else a noob needs to know?
People working on their exotic sword quests, hunting the Ultra Taken bosses for quests and three of coins, planetary material hunting, Some exotic quests take you to the planets to do shit, oh and there is the gunsmith test guns that take people to patrols to kill shit with them. Also its all dmg capped, so its not like they are breezing through it. Once they enter a patrol, its like they are de-leveled.
The dead ghosts just give you a higher gimore score, only for the competitionists.
Strangers rifle is really good in crucible, or it was before the pulses got a nerf. I have not tried it since but you should try it. Its one of the good noob guns to use if you dont have an arsenal of good shit yet.
As a noob I would concentrate on getting to 40, and then getting your light level up by always equipping your higest light level possible when decrypting engrams you find. when Xur comes around on friday, spend some strange coins and get some three of coins and use them on strikes or when killing any ultra, it ups your chance of getting an exotic engram to drop (but wait until you are lv40). Its kind of the way people get all their exotics these days. Grind strikes and crucible and use those 3oC. Cruible is fun once you get the hang of how shit works in PvP. Actually its one of the more fun PvP experiences, but it will take you some time to master it.
Sign up for the dead orbit faction first and start to grind that to rank 3, once you hit rank 3 get that scout rifle he is selling, its a beast for anything PvE. Once youre like Lv40 with 290 light start spamming Destiny LFG for normal TTk raid.
Do your daily crucible for marks. It does not matter if you win, suck, lose, whatever, its free 15 marks every day until you are high enough light level to do the daily mission which will be another 15 marks a day. Also do as many of the daily bounties from the robot guy at the tower for faction and exp. Just load up on them, the pvE ones and go grind strikes. Usually a few strikes and they will all be complete.
You can hit me up when you need help or something when im on PSN: Evaneezer110 although I have been slacking lately.
