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.

Thanks for the tip! (reply)

Incredibly solid gun right out of the box. Perks are super useful. Really enjoying the staggering rounds with the reload speed buff from kills.

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

As of last night's Crota raid I no longer need the Crux of Crota. :-)

Now all I need is the Last Word. (not counting the ps exclusive exotics)

Hope you got a weekly heroic to run left :)

...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.

I need to get 4 strange coins urgently; I gots to get me a red death.

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.

I won't be far behind you

Awesome! Which one(s) are you still hunting?

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!

JDQuackers — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 03:05:21 +0000

So roll a couple exotic helmet engrams on different characters and see if you can get either of those! It's not like anybody cares about Motes of Light anyway!

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.

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. :) )

Unfortunately, I don't think I have enough SC for Skullfort, Knucklehead and Red Death...

I mean he got lucky enough that a little blue Japanese man with a gun for and arm and an executable file attached to his name poked the bear in the eye enough times that the bear said "watch them deal with this". Granted I was lucky enough as well as Knucklehead is my #1 hunter helm. And damn there have been way too many Red Deaths in crucible this morning.

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.
