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.

With Xur selling Red Death, I can't wait for Red Banner next week. It'll have a Halo 2 feel to it.

Has anybody figured out whether it's better to glimmer farm with friends or whether it's more efficient to do solo?

Definitely, because you dont fall asleep.
We might actually need to schedule a glimmer-farming night. I want to try that IB rank glitch, if I can figure it out.

Do you mean where you keep your previous rank? Just be warned it is not guaranteed to work even if you do it correctly.

Yeah I've heard as much. I just need to stay in the tower during the reset, right?

Yeah, if 5 other people want to get all the way there and then farm that for a while, sure...

LFG: Gatekeeper Checkpoint
by unoudid , Somewhere over the rainbow, Friday, March 13, 2015, 16:33 (3797 days ago) @ Speedracer513
Just go on LFG and ask for the Gatekeeper checkpoint. It's pretty simple to do this alone.
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.

Patrol on Venus instead
by unoudid , Somewhere over the rainbow, Friday, March 13, 2015, 14:16 (3797 days ago) @ Durandal
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.
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.

Wait... which knights are endless? (I'm not really interested in glimmer farming, but I never noticed any endless knights... I'm wondering what else I missed. ;) )

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. :) )

You're strategy is the only one I employ on that mission.
If people are doing it for glimmer farming, I honestly can't imagine why... I really don't see how it can even be close to the efficiency of the Exclusion Zone - which is way less stressful.

If Macphisto is correct, and Bungie really is the final boss of Destiny, then Megaman is winning harder than the rest of us.

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.

I think it's an hour later than it had been the past several months. I recall DeeJ saying somthing along the lines of "Xur is not affected by Daylight Savings Time".

Is the reset an hour later too? or I mean.. unaffected by Daylight Saving Time?

I would imagine so (but don't know for sure).
With today's purchase of Red Death, I'm now one Crux of Crota away from having every exotic weapon available to the Xboxers. Let's hope tonight's the night it finally drops for me!

About the only thing I'm outshooting it with is Vision of Confluence, and even then only at range. Haven't brought out the Thorn yet though, need to see how that wicked flower hold up against the Russian Mortician.

Makes sense re: VoC, RD chews stuff up at midrange. Get dat crtical. I like partnering it with a shotgun, in case anything gets close. Enemy far away? Well, why aren't you advancing the attack, soldier? THIS IS WAR. /Patton

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.

buy red death before the armor
by DreadPirateWes, Friday, March 13, 2015, 20:43 (3796 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.

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!

...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.
