It'll mean that we'll all have a better knowledge of what needs to be done, and it won't seem so mysterious. On my first Raid I teleported only a few times by accident, and it was terrifying each time because I had no idea what to do.

I could hear the chat of the away team, but I had no context for what they were talking about.

I've heard good things about it. But you can only get it by beating the Raid on hard, right?

I got it on a Normal run.

As did I.

For those who never did the raid before it was changed, we'll never know what was different, so...

All I was saying was "Get away from me you bitches!"

Maybe, but it'll probably suck for us newbs. (reply)

Ah, good to know. Thanks.

The hard run we started last night has given me nothing but shards and energy so far. Only 1 drop left lol

No, it drops from Atheon on hard or normal.

Not a problem on a normal run, but on Hard mode I'm finding it near-impossible.

Atheon's epilogue was doable on the supplicants.

Who needs pillars? That was bullets are for! (reply)

Is there some trick to killing supplicant's that I'm unaware of? Don't you just shoot them like normal?

They die normally, but maybe he means staying off the ground? I kept getting cooked until I listened to what IconicBanana (I think?) had been saying for like, 20 minutes.

Get on a pillar and it's all good.

Did Bungie ruin the battle against Atheon? (reply)

I actually like the random sends more (reply)

Thanks for the tips, but everyone in my group is quite comfortable using the relic. Doing it on normal is fine, it's hard mode that's proving to be frustrating every time I run it.

Don't have any weapons with anti-oracle perks yet, unfortunately.

I've haven't tried it myself but... (reply)

That's a great idea RC... Thanks!

To me, the problem is selecting weapons that will be effective enough against Oracles AND the supplicants outside. Since you don't have enough time to switch weapons on the fly, you need to pick a loadout that can be effective in both situations. Not a problem on a normal run, but on Hard mode I'm finding it near-impossible. My fully upgraded legendary AR (unwilling soul)is my best tool against supplicants, but it can't take down an oracle with a full clip of 72 rounds.

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Use a weapon that has the Anti-Oracle perk?

I've seen both a sniper and AR with it. Which both drop in the Vault of Glass. Then have other weapons that you're comfortable killing Supplicants/whatever with?

It's not as random as it first seems, and you can overcome it with superior planning.

If you still can't use Voice Chat, Nevin, you'd be best as Delta, Echo or Foxtrot in the above plan: as there is no need for them to speak.
