[@happystate2480]

@Marshix Hey I know you probably wont see this but thought I'd throw it out here. The best heavy weapon farm in the game is in the Cosmodrome behind Shaw Han in the area where the fallen walker spawns repeatedly. Killing the walker spawns a chest that poops out 4 heavy ammo bricks for every person that opens the chest. Ad's spawn infinitely in that area and no need to burn rally flags. Finished Dragons Breath catalyst in about 15 minutes(500 kills). Also it appears that the new rocket side arm Indebted Kindness is getting the wolfpack rounds buff from ghally but I haven't been able to test that yet, sigh the life of a solo player.

are ppl actualy waiting for the game to reload for them ?

[@cc_par]

no but when i first started playing i would press reload NOT as fast as i shouldve

[@MrNuclearz]

Yes. Yes they are. I remember when Izanagi was the damage meta, some people just couldn't do good dps with it, and this was the reason.

[@mrmonsterhunter808]

@@MrNuclearzunfortunately now it’s better to wait for the auto reload because you can’t reload cancel izi anymore. It’s still meta with the trials GL if your rotation is good.

Yes, I'll just hold this L 😢

[@devastatorjazz5100]

Fun fact about fact 14, it also works with star eaters scales, get up to times 4 and using super will give an overshield but it will not consume the x4 buff until you use your actual super

🤣

[@Mike322161]

I’m glad someone has talked about the ghost trick. Too many new players that don’t do that.

[@bunyan2422]

The 3-4 seconds that saves are negligible considering you typically have scans out of combat. I've been playing d2 since it came out and have never seen a player do that trick.

[@zackphy]

U can also shoot the shotty first, then immediately grapple melee, and you'll still get the damage buff.

[@drakusmero104]

9:16 exhibit A, Your Honor

[@n0sferatu338]

been having lots of fun with the grapple lately, especially pairing it with Necrotic Grips on my warlock, that one punch final blow is so satisfying even more so when you see it spread n take out all the other ads

[@travwolfe101]

It's also a cheesy 1 shot in PvP if you use the aspect that spawns threadlings

[@chrisjohnston4582]

Gambit needs an update, now that Bungie is gone... Priceless

[@zackphy]

When Bungie first sunset everything then released the next gen versions of D2, you could load into the tower in about 3 seconds on the PS5 and Series X. But now that the game is about the same size as it was pre vaulting, it's back to taking ages to load in.

[@TheReptain]

Its just not good optimized. The size doesnt matter

[@Materogringo]

The first spawn area of grasp dungeon also works to level things up and have lots of enemies. Just never deposit the burdens of wealth

[@Sfirezx]

Thanks for compiling this info!

[@patrickarraes4422]

As a long time Destiny player these tips are really good! I knew a bunch of them already, and some didn't.

[@Evil_Shadow_Wizard]

Regarding the emote trick, couch nap from season of plunder also works

[@travwolfe101]

FYI for tip 27 you don't have to transfer weapons it's pointless. When the game gives you new gear it automatically calculates the dropped gears power from the highest light your guardian could be if you equipped all your max gear. This includes weapons on other characters and armor on other characters of the same class but not different class armor. It will also even count multiple exotics like if all your armor was 1810 and all your legendary weapons are 1809 but you have an exotic kinetic, energy, and heavy at 1810 you'll get prime drops at 1810

[@travwolfe101]

Adding on that I think this misconception comes from d1 as it's been like this ever since the beginning of d2 but d1 did require you to equip your highest gear to get better stuff, at least in the beginning IDR if they every changed it.

[@mrthor3061]

i see soooo many you tubers that are ignorant of how power/pinnacle drops work it’s annoying and the system couldn’t be simpler to understand

[@mindofthemuseless]

This is great. Re: Trick 27, it's fine to have the weapons in vault or on other characters. NGL... I still move the items over though.

[@hooky17]

Thanks for the video. Learned a few new things. I was wondering what software you/people use for Macros. In particular the well skating macro

[@Marshix]

Razor synapse. I think it only works with razor products

[@baja_blasphemy]

It took me awhile to learn to shatterskate because I've always read that you have to press the buttons in a certain order within 0.1 seconds of each other when in actuality you can just press them all at the same time.

[@philipinoboy1381]

Is there a positive advantage of matching the element weapon with your own element?

[@OthersideSparrow]

Most mods are discounted if they match your element. Called Harmonic. It just allows more mods to be slotted in.

[@onionring1531]

I've lost access to the Deepsight Harmonizer available at level 57 from every previous season for some reason, so I can only pull 4 of them from each previous season.

[@pmo24]

Lucky Pants also boost the damage of your golden gun super.

[@rosshazael]

What program do you use for the macros? 👀

[@luispragana7531]

I’m curious, since online there’s a lot of mixed answers, is having a skate macro allowed? Obviously I’d assume not in crucible but for general PVE gameplay.

[@happystate2480]

Per Bungie "Macro's are not a banned offense, however if you use macros to AFK farm experience, encounters, or material you may get banned" So basically it's fine even in crucible but you have to be playing not "AFK farming"

[@luispragana7531]

Thanks, might get to finally making a skate macro now

[@Aj-py8en]

Those stats are beautiful. How did you manage triple 100 AND 0 wasted stats!?

[@Marshix]

There’s a website called d2armorpicker.com and it helps you match all your armor to get the best possible stats

What's your hunter wearing? It looks fire

[@neji_rip4302]

For those unaware the golden gun kinetic surge combo no longer works bungie did a recent ninja patch for that

[@GoobieDoo86]

They did it for 3 but 1 or 2 still work I did testing on it

You don't have to switch weapons to cancel your grapple. Just hit the grenade a second time & the grapple releases.

[@one2oblivion]

You can change your legendary shard for a Ghost in the moon because at least now you can change it for Glimmer and you can save it on tha vault too the same apply for Herealways Piece you can save it on Vault and change latter for Glimmer

[@tooblackfordeath]

These might help new lights

[@haxelhimura]

Is the kinetic surge with goldy still working? I thought they patched that?

[@neji_rip4302]

Lumina grapple trick is easier than you think fastball mod for gauntlets have proven to make it more consistent for me personally but the timing is not what you think trick is to wait a split second before you grapple. Grappling as fast as you can after you fire lumina is not going to work trust me I tried

Just here to inform the people. When you wellskate 90% of the time you should right click instead of left click for way more distance. This is the same with almost all skates!

[@yomamafat1014]

Everybody wellskates with right click dude. What are you on?

[@IIVYE]

@@yomamafat1014 You can wellskate with a left click as well if you need less speed and distance like used in vow early ads or new gos 3-4. This video shows and says to left click. I was telling people to right click. Clearly, I need to ask you the same question. What are you on?

[@yomamafat1014]

@@IIVYE I can guarantee you everybody except this dude skates with right click.

[@Linuss16]

Grounded wellskating can only be done with left click, that’s what marshix is referring to in the vid. It might bring up some confusion tho for people who don’t wellskate, so Ig this comment is kinda useful.

[@IIVYE]

@@Linuss16yeah you’re right I didn’t look at the macro I only saw the skate and noticed it was a left click. Although, it’s not really applicable to most players. I know a bunch of speedruners who can’t even ground line.

[@gibster9624]

For Titans trying to run the dual exotic interaction they've nerfed almost all of them but one that still remains is using the helm of Saint-14 to pop bubble then switching to peregrine greaves and just touching the bubble will restore full overshields. Allowing you to max out damage instead of only using bastion and barricades.

Tbh, I think the grasp of avarice entrance is better to compete catalysts, you won't run out of enemies or time at any point so long you don't complete the mechanic, hell, it even can help you if you need your super and abilities often as grabbing 10 engrams will give you a full charge. it is a bit slower and the wizards are annoying, but other thatn that, it is efficient and faster than to use the wish wall.

[@travwolfe101]

Nope it's actually significantly worse. There no banner spot for free heavy/special, the enemies in grasp have more hp, the exploding engrams constantly steal kills, and kills in raids provide more progress than kills elsewhere do. Grasp is okay if you don't have last wish (idk if that's possible tho) but last wish cp will literally level stuff about 4-5x faster. You can lookup people who've compared the two getting to last wish and doing two runs is equal to having been at grasp for the amount of time it took the other person to do the wall and the two runs. After the 2 runs you just start getting wayyy ahead of the person at grasp. Then there's also the fact that you don't even need to do the wishwall at all, the official d2 discord and many streamers discords have cp bots that you can just join to get the co for free.

[@rickoshay5455]

I wait for the mission ‘A Mysterious Disturbance’ on the moon. Ammo crates galore and enemies keep respawning. It’s worth the wait. You can get all your catalysts done quick. Set your date a month ahead on your console and you’ll have the whole place to yourself.
