Peregrine Greaves
Crest of Alpha Lupi (hunter edition)
Heart of the Praxic Fire
Red Death
Exotic Helm Engram

Armors are meh, but Red Death is pretty good.

Red's Rankings

1. Red Death (obviously cuz Red)
2. Crest of Alph Lupi, it has a good roll and is great for Trials if you are a support player.
3. Exotic Helm if you are low on exotic helms
4. Heart of the Praxic Fire
5. Peregrine Greaves, I think these suck way, way worse than MK 44's. They are super situational and really only useful for PvE.

Oh and he's in the Vanguard room across from Cayde.

My favourite thing is to wait until a Defender puts a bubble up, switch to Greaves, knee his face into the next dimension, then switch back to something more consistently useful.

So you're right - super situational, but worth it (to me) for those rare moments of crowning glory.

Those greaves aren't considered useful in PvE? When I heard about them, I had visions of sugar plums dancing in my head.

I wanted to do it this week but that Solar Burn made it hard to get close enough.

Course, if a couple if Defenders wanted to create a runway for me? I'll even wear my aeroplane hat.

1) Red Death - Great stats, great perks, useful in many situations.
2) Praxic Fire - So many grenades.
3) Greaves - Knees to the face for lulz
4) Heavy Ammo
5) Helmet Engrams - Move to 2 if you don't have a Helm of Saint-14
6) Motes of light
...
Last) Hunter Armor - eww Hunters

Not from what I hear. Easy way to one shot anyone in PvP. Blade Dancers, Radiant Warlocks, High armor Titans, etc.

I played a ton of rumble yesterday. I didn't feel like wearing armamentarium since the grenades don't work as well during rumble, so I tested mine out. I didn't get a single kill with them I wouldn't have gotten normally. On bladedancers I died just like always. You don't have enough time to build up that speed, jump and reliably hit them. The warlock already stuck you, and your guts are on the floor if it's a hunter.

It IS useful for an armor of light titan, though. So if you want to plan your exotics around the least used class, go for it.

I believe he meant the Defender subclass in PvP. Which I would agree is probably the least used.

No, I meant all. I just think that the titan abilities were an after thought when it comes to PvP. There are rare few that were made for PvP.

Not necessarily the best PvP perks, but they're useless for PvE so they must be for PvP.

A well placed and timed grenade is always better then a poorly placed and timed grenade. I've done those same things with lightning grenades. With the added benefit of kills straglers and reliable area denial.

18. Spike

I really like that there is no "best" grenade. Depending on how you play, there's a style for each player. I do think that the spike is clearly the worst grenade period. It does damage like a Vortex, but only in a small cone and only for a short period of time. Maybe if they had an exotic armor that would widen the cone and increase the duration by about 3 secs.

I'd at least put Scatter without tracking down at 17. I was never killed by or got a kill from them before they could track. I'd also move Axion Bolt down some. It's powerful but it takes too long in PvP. And I'd move Solar / Vortex down near the bottom. While they are powerful if you enemy is really distracted, I'd much rather have a grenade that did its damage in an instant like a Flashbang or Arcbolt than something an enemy can just walk out of.

Also, I'm dismayed to see you gave the Spike grenade a ranking at all! They'd have to double that things power, duration, and range for me to even consider using it. :)

You forgot all of the new grenades we will have in TTK. They can not be worse than the spike grenade.

From what I saw/understood, there will only be 3 new nades, 1 for each subclass. The other 2 in each will be reused from the current ones available in the other equivalent subclasses.

But regardless of this, you are correct. They cannot be worse than the spike is now, even if they make 9 new nades! If one of them is, It'll probably be for the Arc Warlock and be the equivalent of a water balloon. Now that I think about it though, that would still be better than the Purple glow stick. I can see hunters slipping on the wet floor, off ledges to their death. Stupid hunters.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see some near duplicates, like the Arcbolt and Firebolt are very similar, but I'd bet almost anything Bungie will not reuse the exact grenades and those were just in there for placeholders during E3.

Yeah, Ram is really good. I die so often though that I find HoPF to be more useful. Like when I used to use Lucky Raspberry on my hunter to guarantee at least a 1.0 K/D in games. Now I use Knucklehead Radar cause I can stay alive longer.

I feel like being an exotic Knucklehead radar should provide its bonus to any weapon and not just primaries.

It would be too much for people to have snipers or rockets with it. Remember, no armor exotics are so good you have no choice but to use them, and Knucklehead radar like how you want it would be so dumb to not use I'd kick people for not doing it.

Radar while aiming is not game breaking. It's nice, but in no way overpowered. I played the other day with the adept messanger, infinite whatever (hmg), and patience and time. Always had a radar. It was good, but a small advantage. Certainly not worth giving up a fourth golden gun shot for automatically. It also has strength on it, so there a trade off there.

That's too much work for me. About the best I can hope for in a game is to switch weapons based on how I'm playing or how my tactics are/aren't working. I may switch armor sometimes, but I'd be hard pressed to do it because of a specific reason like that. Guess that's why I'm not in the top 10 in PvP anymore. :)

But if you want some help and pro tips, I'd check out some of that True Vanguard guys stuff on YouTube. His videos are pretty good, and he doesn't come off as a douche like some of them I've seen.

Here's some info on sniping. This guy is amazing with a sniper.

But, basically it's just common sense. "Set sights first." all right, dude.

He's just really goddamn good at this game. I've watched his videos, and I hope I am learning through osmosis, cause I am awful at sniping, even when I try hard to practice.

I was playing some Halo customs with a group of random folks one time. There was a girl on my team that was unbelievable with the sniper. She was slaughtering the other team. I asked how she could snipe so well. She replied, "I don't know, I just pull the trigger when the sight turns red".

I'm a really good shot in PvE, but other Guardians move so erratically I panic if the first shot doesn't kill them.

I'll either get a headshot kill or no kill. Every single.
