regenerates its ammo fairly quickly

Wat.

God, I need to up my game in Destiny...

Also, From what I've seen, your faction leader sells the same gear that Shaxx sells, only requiring Vanguard Marks rather than Crucible marks... I was disappointed that I didn't have enough VM to purchase an armor piece, but when I went to Shaxx, he had all of the same armors, only I could afford them.

Destiny gives you a lot of workarounds. You CAN trade in resources for Crucible points, Just like you can turn them in for Vanguard points.

Like I said, though, if you're insistent on not playing Crucible just because it's not your style, then just abandon that bounty. There's always a chance that you'll get the item as a random drop (I got a New Monarchy Legendary machine gun as a random loot drop), no Crucible required.

I come back to find I K/D discussion. No complaints - just expressing my surprise.

...Also it seems the key phrase "I don't play the crucible" of my post has been missed

I too had a moment of pause when I got this challenge, but it literally took three games to get it done. Now I really like the Crucible, but rarely ever visit it unless I have bounties, so I'm not ultra competitive, and I was able to easily snag it. The spread also counts assists towards your kills ( a large number of crucible bounties do), so you'd be surprised at how quickly you'd get it.

I too found it odd that there was a Crucible requirement for exotics (and that they require you to do well), but if you insist on avoiding the crucible at all simply "because yes", then I really don't know what to say other than swallow your pride, or abandon the bounty... Then again, PS4 will have the "Pass the Controller" option soon, so a friend could simply take over for you and do those challenges... Assuming you have that version of Destiny. ;)

It's not the challenge that gave me pause, which seems to be the overall conclusion. Its not that at all.

I was hoping I could swear off all things multiplayer with Destiny, because - I have found more and more that for myself, I don't find multiplayer to be all that fun. I don't care if I can kick your ass or if you can kick mine. It's meaningless too me. All I care about - and where the fun for me lies, is whether or not I can kick my ass. I challenge my self. Furthermore - So many people take multiplayer so seriously, when I in turn am very casual as I play. It's not an atmosphere I want to play in. I don't feel like being yelled at because for a match I went -1 KD in a CTF match. It's Stupid. To quote Jason Jones from one of the vidocs, Destiny is based off of "What do you want to do today". I don't want to play the Crucible, and yet in small and subtle ways Destiny is biased towards the Crucible. Most of the Gear you can get in the Tower requires Crucible marks. Some of the Materials you need to upgrade are also tailored toward those who play the Crucible. At first I didn't mind this, its just another challenge, yet the more nice gear I get the more it seems like you are required to be playing a certain way.

Try to walk away and they just pull ya back in. I guess this is why I felt a need to post this, I don't know what to do. Is it me or Bungie? I guess this little observation is why I felt a need to post this - this was the straw that broke the camels back.

Ugh.

WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE, tell us what weapon you got from it.

Invective. It's a monster in the Crucible, though shotguns aren't my style.

Otherwise, it's a fast-firing, high-range shotgun that regenerates its ammo fairly quickly. Useful to equip it for a moment, then swap it out for another Special for some free ammo. VERY useful during strikes, as few enemies have a resistance to Solar damage.

That's the part that's confusing me. So it's a cumulative challenge? Meaning if I play 5 matches and have a total of 100 kills and 75 deaths, I'll have the required spread?

What happens if my current k/d spread is say, -50. Would I have to continue playing until I got it to +25?

Don't you know the Internet yet? :)

Why do you think I posted a complaint. ;P

It's... going slowly.

Fusion Rifle and HMG with void damage. I did this in about 45 minutes. Run around with your fusion rifle killing until you get a heavy ammo drop then go to town.

An Exotic Bounty I'm currently working on is demanding I get kills in Crucible with Void damage. My hunter, of course, does not have a void sub-class so I have to rely only on Specials and Heavies. I have to get 500 points, +5 for each kill, but -2 for each death.

It's... going slowly.

I had a question about that one, does it tell you in game what you have (kind of like the bounties like "Collect 200 Olympian Tears"), or do you have to check the bounty screen after each game?

I had to check the Inventory screen. Which I was actually doing after every death >_<

Just checked: in Halo 3 there was a column in the post-game carnage report called 'K/D Spread'. This has confused things for years.

Bungle's at it again...

I had this Bounty too. Stick to objectives, hoard heavy ammo, and as long as you're going +1 each game you'll get there eventually. Don't worry; there are more stages to it after this! yay!

Actually, it's per life, not per game. In other words, as long as you get two kills before you die in a single life within a game, that +1 will go towards the bounty. As far as I could tell, dying without a kill won't subtract from the bounty either. I thought this would be really difficult because I don't consider myself very good at the crucible, but I finished it in two games.

Spread is "K-D".

Dunno how "k/d" became the shorthand for it. The difference between kills-to-death ratio and spread has been confusing people for years because of this.

Spread = K-D | Ratio = K/D
It's a legit math equation. I was just confused because bluerunner said "KD Spread" but used the K/D nomenclature.

Yeah that's why I've gotten in the habit of using a slash instead of a hyphen. LANGUAGE!
