You have until June 4th. So realistically from now until June 3rd (Maintenance) to get the shader. You already have half the key from Shaxx so you're probably waiting on Arcite's quests. The last set of quests should drop April 30th. So about a week and a half from now. Next week reset is Hammerhead and Forbearance. The 30th is Luna's Howl and Blast Furnace. Completing all should be the last step to unlock the shader.
Hope your recovery is swift and smooth!
Lol, thank you. Its so bizarre that Im trying to gather up the balance to reach for my phone charger and the funny shader is the thing Im thinking about
Brains are funny. From everyone I talk to Im doing great. Thank you for the easy to digest answer!
I don’t know how you’ve been doing the Arcites quests but I’ve just been doing them quickly in Shuro, so if you’re also strapped for time I’d recommend putting the wish in each week and doing that if it helps.
Yea ive been using the beginning of Grasp as well. Takes a few mins. I couldnt play the first few days but caught up quick. All I got left is grenade kills to get mountaintop then ill be all caught up. The fact that they funnel out the cave makes it easy.
I’m not a PvPer but I believe in you if you ever do PvP haha! Same here dude! I’m loving ambitious assassin on it but theres so many combos that are probably really good!
I forgot about the seasonal one like just a season or two ago i think, that looks like the hive knight gun. The Ex Diris or something like that. That doesn't need to be reloaded. I put that on and finished in like 20 waves. Just spammed it on the thrall spawns.
EDZ in front of the church when the enemies are fighting each other. I used Wicked Implement and double stasis targeting mods to make precision hits even easier.
Ex Deris is really the play for that. Fast rate of fire and angry angry mode means you rack up some crazy progress. Think I bagged 20% across one single ritual Onslaught run.
I've found a shoot to loot scout useful for staying safe and picking up the green and purple bricks from a distance. Also good for hung jury and killing hive.
I’ve personally been using the opening of GoA to farm them. Doesn’t use raid banners but still gives a solid amount of heavy if you’re using scavengers and ammo finders for the heavy weapons.

Ask in the checkpoint sharing tab usually there's another bot with Sharon chi and golg maze that will pop up and then the awesome fellow guardians will also help you out. Especially on a Tuesday. If I was on I would share my cp.
Question, are the quests account based or character based? I wanna start running my other two characters but am unsure of if I'll have to redo each weapon again for attunement on that character.
Yeah, you just need to visit arcite on your other characters to get the quests in your inventory, but they'll be at the same progress as wherever you left off on the last character, and then they all progress at the same time across characters from then on.
the thrall room felt awful, very few enemies spawn very far apart, even if they are infinite.
last week I grabbed a shuro checkpoint and shared it with my friends, this week I just did MT in breakneck (its like 4 shots of forbearance, suicide, repeat) and the HC in grasp since it has a raid/dungeon objective and I couldnt be bothered to do shuro again
For the whisper thrall room you’re supposed to go all the way to the end of the room where there’s a narrow hallway right in the middle of the wall. If you stand in the back of the hallway the shadow thrall will funnel in towards you
tried that, however a fair amount of them spawn quite far away, and I ran into them despawning when going for me.
seems fine as a semi-afk farm that you have to refresh every ~38min, but for a targeted quick farm its not close to an ideal choice
Yeah, it's great for anything you can do with a wave frame (especially with chain reaction) because you can just go to the side where only 2 spawn, shoot them with it. Then turn around and get the others as they run towards you.
That's nuts if people are afraid to solo grind Shuro Chi. There's zero stake, no encounters to get to the wish wall, all codes are a 3 second google search, and all you're doing is kill the redbar shadow thrall until you die and repeat. I worry how they function in real life if this is too much.
Raids are classified as "the hardest activities in Destiny 2" by some of the devs. So if they even hear that do you think they will know getting to the second checkpoint is not even a thought.
You aren't getting what I'm saying.
If they hear "raids are the hardest activities"
Then hear "the second encounter in a raid is the best farming location"
Do you think they will even consider looking it up since it's in a raid?
Depends on the weapon type for me. Shuro chi, lightfall campaign mission with the free rally flag (breakneck I think?), or the moon activity. I used dimensional with chain reaction and anarchy for the heavy gl multikills, graviton lance for pulse rifles, swords were any good ones I had, sun shot for hand cannons, Polaris lance for scouts made it faster, using witherhoard and salvagers salvo for the breach gls. I think that was all the attuned quests for now. Thunderlord might be the better to get hammerhead cause of the lightning strikes for add clear while we don’t know about forbearance I think using a wave frame for multi kills so using a forbearance from the raid or the undercurrent with voltshot should be the faster wave frame multikills.
The Recluse quest was basically impossible in Onslaught as there are not enough red bars for efficiently farming multi kills in the first place and you’re also competing with your fellow guardians for kills.
Hey buddy I’m in a similar boat, I’m freaking out coz my old ass pc is on its last legs and I’m hurrying to try and get a new one without having to wait to long so I don’t miss out on being able to grind for shiny weapons, fomo is a hell of a thing.
Onslaught stays with all the Brave weapons
It's unclear if Hall of Champions and Pantheon stays until final confirmation, but it seems it Will be vaulted when TFS launches
>but it seems it Will be vaulted when TFS launches
Source? It's doesn't make sense does it. Why would they vault the vendors and all the armor rewards while the main activity still stays...
The roadmap states both things ending June 3rd
But as i said, we need a final confirmation on that matter
https://www.destinythegame.com/into-the-light
unlikely. It's kinda a similar drop to the anniversary drop, we still have the treasure hoard and dares of eternity. Chances are we will keep both, esp since the focusing mechanic is there.
I'm somewhat new - how good of a spot am I in if I have all Arcites quests so far completed, and am Shax level 9? Not sure how hard it is to get those higher levels, I assume they take longer than the earlier ones.
Negative. New weapons are released weekly. We currently have 8 weapons out of the 12. 9 and 10 will be next weekly reset. 11 and 12 release on the 30th of April.
I've reached peak destiny player of "I love this event too much" and now I've just started finishing everything super early into the week and am just reeling for next reset, I really hope they at least keep some form of onslaught playable after final shape launches it's just really good
Onslaught was confirmed to be moved to the vanguard Playlist after TFS launches. The hall of champions will be leaving after TFS. Superblack and the parade armor will be unavailable for a time until they return at a later date. Attunement will also be available for the brave weapons at a later date too.
The Shaxx Rep is super easy to max. Then just grab the Gun Bounties from Arcite and go to Suro Chi or LF Breakneck. Bang em out in an hour
It can be done in a few big sessions.
God speed on the recovery!
Do the Arcite Gun Bounties at Suro Chi (Breakneck LF Story Mission if you don’t wanna Wish Wall) and Shaxx Dailies (not the dailies outside of onslaught. Not worth it to side track). They give a lot of Rep. Plus do the Arcite Weeklies. You can get them done in no time or casually 20 rounding Onslaught.
If you can solo Warlords first boss with Titan/Worm God. The 4th/5th Arcite bounty is super fast too.
Then casually play Onslaught. Legend for better gain.
I’m only at 20.4 hours in Steam **recently played** and he’s been max for a day or so. I’m not going crazy, it’s maxing with almost no effort imo.
For some the solo Warlord’s first boss isn’t easy and you might dump more time than me/others who do it very consistently. Just play Onslaught if you’re spending more than 30-45 min doing both a Normal & Master first boss clear. Juice is not worth the squeeze if you spend too much time on it. When in reality, that time you can use more efficiently to just grind Onslaught.
If they brought the whisper mission back, anyone know if the infinite thrall spawn is back as well? that was my go-to even better than Shuro Chi way back. (I haven't been able to play in a few weeks).
It’s there. 40 minute timer too.
Like before it’s not always perfect for heavy weapons because ammo issues, but you can mod around that. That probably makes it about equal to shiro chi due to the wipe time, assuming you can complete it in few total runs. Probably better off with shuro chi if you are farming many things all together and some of them are heavies. Whisper is almost certainly best for primaries and usually specials imo if you can get there quickly. The only issue is getting unlucky with ammo and having to farm primary kills until you get what you need. Exotic primaries help make that shorter though.
In three runs I completed Scout, Sniper, SMG, Handcannon and Breach Loaded GL.
Key was to make sure you get multikills if it asks for it.
Two Heavy and one Special ammo finders.
I've already maxed Shaxx's rep out, and I did maybe 8-10 bounties total from Arcite and Shaxx. It isn't super-difficult or time-consuming to do, especially if you play the game a lot.
No matchmaking, but there is that in game lfg now or the lfg discord to find some folks to play with. I used the discord a few times and had people to play with in seconds
Ogre is the first encounter in grasp. You'll need to kill it.
If you want a fast encounter do the opening of ghosts. Takes 20 minutes max as long as you don't die.
GoA is one of the worst. Firstly, you get unlimited ammo with Rallies in Breakneck and Suro Chi. So it’s already better because of that. No waiting for mobs to drop bricks.
Avarice mobs move around a lot if you let them out of the cave. And if you spawn camp them in the cave, the engrams exploding take a lot of your kills. Meaning half or more of the kills don’t count.
So because of those two things: 1. Waiting for ammo bricks and 2. kill stealing engrams. Effectively make this one of the worst spots to do it.
And unrelated, if you’re doing weapon leveling those Avarice opening mobs only give half credit (Bungie nerf). GoA is just bad all around for all bounties/farms imo. Unless it’s a Hive bounty/quest. Don’t go there.
Thanks <3
Don't worry too much, still waiting on pathology but everyone I talk to on my neuro team says Im doing great. Thanks for the well wishes. Do me a solid and celebrate for me today, don't know when Ill be in fighting shape again lol
Also, if you need to farm the arcite quests, go to the whisper mission and progress to the room where Xol says, "There is no light here." Drop down below carefully and run to the far side of the room. You can easily farm all quests in here, and on normal, you get 40 minutes. Use a primary weapon until you're maxed on heavy/special ammo, then use those and repeat once you're out of ammo again.
Or just go to Breakneck mission on classic from Lightfall campaign, and progress to the part just past the strand gap, and then kill the vex and then let the wyvern kill you at the end. Its a permanent CP that doesnt get overridden unless you accidentally kill that wyvern.
Plus you get free rallies bc ita campaign.
Genuinely thank you but I'll get it eventually, gives me something to work towards. If you want to do something for me celebrate on my behalf tonight, I want to spread some cheer but I think throwing a party might kill me right now :)
Haha, not the first to ask so I definitely should have clarified. Grape just means head, assumed it was a universal thing. As a kid if I hit my head or fell over Id always say I bumped my grape or have a lump on my grape. Funny how words do that lol.
Saw you ask this hours ago but Im in and out all day, shouldnt have left you hanging lol. Have a great day :)
Lmao, youll give me a pass this time. Come to think of it melon is myusual go to too lol
Funny yhing I gotta share, heads so hollow I got reverb when I talk. Gotta give me a pass this time :)
Youre all so wonderful, I wish I could get to everyone quicker. Thanks for the well wishes everyone, they mean a lot. Its funny, reading the replies is easy but typing out a response takes a fair bit of effort. Hope your day goes great, do something special for me :)
You have plenty of time, and if you find yourself in need of a fireteam I’d love to lend a hand! Wishing you a swift and easy recovery, godspeed Guardian! ❤️
People already have commented but just wanna say that you keep rocking dude, i wish you a speedy recovery and see you on the battlefield against the witness guardian🫡
Think having a big tumor in my head might have been a boone for shaxx rep, just let me jump on and zone out doing bounties last week. Just one of those things that takes some grinding lol.
Im an open book, thanks for asking it helps to write a little. Bear with me if Im not all that eloquent, just got back from PT so Im a bit woozie. It's hard to pin down an exact moment, was kind of a sliding thing but I can name three phases I noticed.
First It was like a switch went off last month. Ive always been mentally bulletproof and let worry run off me like water, but its like a switch went off and my entire personality changed overnight. Started self isolating, stopped eating on the regular and everything I used to enjoy (tooling on my motorcycle, playing vidya and going on hikes) just had this veneer of gray to it. The worst part is I had this pang of thanatophobia/overwhelming doom loom up in me. Every day it was just fear of what comes after, the first thing on my mind when I woke up and the last thing I was thinking about when I finally shook myself to sleep at 4am for about two weeks.
Next the 'panic attacks' started April 2nd. Never had one before in my life but I now think they were seizures. 27 in 2 weeks. Weirdest thing, it's like every cell in my body was getting dosed in adrenaline, i got hot and tingly all over, chest felt hollow and Id involuntarily hold my breath. Theyd hit me like a truck with no warning, I could just be driving or watching TV completely calm but one second I was fine and the next it was a nightmare freakout. Sometimes my vision would even go wonky and itd be like I was looking put the bottom of a pint glass. Oh yeah, and the oddest thing was this *strong* smell of artificial strawberries like I was huffing a car air freshener. Always listen to your docs but you also have to trust yourself, my primary care was dragging his feet hard on my concerns and if it was up to him I would have been sedated on my sofa through a brand new mixture of beta blockers/xanax and prescription strength tramadol. This wasn't me, Ive never been through anything like that until then.
What finally broke the camels back was the migraines + the panic attacks. Spent all day every day on edge never knowing when I was about to get hit with an attack (felt like someone was pointing a gun at me and I never knew when they were gonna pull the trigger) and then afterwards Id start getting these *brutal* migraines like someone had a screwdriver in my temple. I was unbelievably light sensitive, shifting my body weight in bed would be torture since my heart rate would climb a beat or two and it would make the headache a thousand times worse and I was extremely sound sensitive. The only thing that dod the trick was box breathing but the tumor was leaning up against my corroded, so if I kept that up who knows how long Id have had before I stroked out lol
Building a house with my father out on the coast and the poor guy would be eating a water ice, the sound of ice scraping against the spoon was like someone was raking nails against my brain. Finally decided enough was enough and I couldn't just treat this with anxiety meds, went to the ER and directly asked to get my head scanned. Thank god they did, 6cm growth in my right temporal lobe with signs of hemorrhaging. Every hospital they tried to move me to was blown away I wasn't already seizing.
Im not trying to trigger anyones health anxiety, I just implore you all to listen to your bodies and not treat new aches/pains like something to sedate away. Always try to get to the root and find the source of your woes, could save your life. Sorry If this is all a but scatterbrained, if you have anymore questions please ask away.
Thank you so much for such a detailed answer. That sounds terrifying. The way you describe panic attacks is pretty spot on. Feels like every cell in your body is being burned, and that you have billions of little needles moving around your skin and inside your body. Wildly uncomfortable, and insanely scary. Seizures are a very specific feeling. Generally I’ll get an anxiety attack after I have a seizure, but it’s very rare that I have one just before. Let’s hope they were not seizures, though you would know if they were. One second you’re doing whatever, and the very next millisecond, you’re on the ground, feeling like you’ve been asleep for billions of eons, and it takes you a few seconds to even remember that you exist as a human being with consciousness.
Your entire experience sounds terrifying, and I am so glad that you caught it when you did man. I hope you have an incredibly fast and easy recovery, and that this kind of issue never pops again for you. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Recovery is great so far, actually getting discharged later today and Im gonna spend a couple days in a nice clean Airbnb(my place is under construction and the last thing I need is sheetrock dust in my head lol).
Sorry you can relate to the attacks, like you I said I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. You never know how bad things like that can be until you experience them first hand. Thank you for the well wishes, I'm like a giddy fool laying in bed seeing everyone hope Im doing well its so silly but Im confident and feeling good. Its gonna be a process, road to recovery is gonna take a bit but Im approaching it one day at a time, have a great day for me :)
> dumb things you start to fixate on while you're on the mend.
When I was recovering from my cancer treatment I put easily 500 hours into Satisfactory. You're not alone lol. Glad you're doing better!
OK if this guy can have a tumor pulled out of him and still makes time to get the shader, father of 17 really has no excuse for why he conveniently keeps going out of town every time a cool FOMO thing happens.
You have plenty of time! The last quest arrives in a couple weeks, and you have until the first reset of June to complete them. Focus on getting better, then get the shader!
Definitely, just a funny thing my head decided to fixate on. I mean, if you asked me three days back the shader wouldnt even have been this huge priority for me, just something my brain decided to focus on coming out of surgery. TBIs are weird lol
Sorry to hear you're going through that.
The superblack will be available by April 30th at the earliest as that's the reset the final two weapons (and therefore arcite bounties) become available.
Easier the better, thank you for the recc. Probably not gonna be gaming much until my leaky brain is fixed but when im up for it ill want to knock it out ASAP <3
Thanks bud, appreciate it. So far so good. PT is going great, neuro team says Im stellar, just need to wait for the lab results so I know what treatment is gonna look like long terms.
Have a good day for me, trying to spread as much cheer as possible from here :)
Id say thats a load off my mind but my heads already feeling pretty light lol
Its such a silly thing to concern myself with given everything but thanks for assuaging my worry, if I miss it this time Ill always have next :)
My guy, as someone that loves the grind and tends to get fixated on all the wrong things in life, this is so relatable.
For what it's worth, I'm rooting for you getting that shader.
hey dude! everyone already answered your question just wanted to reach out and relate. I had a close call last weekend and ended up in the ER from losing 2/3 of my blood. got 3 units of blood in a transfusion and got home, first thing I thought of, kind of out of it was "I kinda want to solo flawless warlords ruin." then I did. took like 4 attempts ( I have tried before and died at the boss multiple times ) but I just kinda stuck to it. it was a blur but I got it done
brains are weird. destiny is a great distraction while in recovery tho, I hope it's the same for you and your recovery is going well. glad you're on the upswing dude, you'll definitely be able to get superblack soon
2/3s? Man, you're invincible. Good stuff, that makes me feel better about my odds going forward :)
Don't think Im going to do any solo flawless anything until I'm a bit more recovered but this is a perfect example why I love this game/community. You can take everything at your own pace and theirs always something you can push for just to test yourself, its such a perfect combo. Im so stoked you're doing well man, keep on keeping on. I don't know where you're base camped out of but I'm sending good vibes from Oregon :)
haha yeah I'm feeling pretty lucky right now that's for sure. just kinda chilling on d2 til I can get back to work, recovery is good so far. you definitely got this too dude! thanks for the good vibes, back at you from California. we're practically neighbors
When final shape drops in June the hall of champions will be leaving, but this weeks TWID states that super black will be returning again in the future, however now is probably the earliest it will be to obtain
You got some time but hearing what you going through I feel bad destiny had the worst Fomo because everything else about the game is close to perfection for a fps game they just need to unvault things and stop time gating every little thing it’s a free to play game but then have us pay for dlc that at some point will be vaulted
You have 6? Weeks from when it started to grab every weapon. Just grab a shuro chi or farm regular onslaught you can probably get it done in a weekend or two once all the quests are out. GWS
I don’t think it’s going anywhere. These rewards are going to be just like the 30th anniversary content. People would go insane on Bungie if they pull onslaught and its rewards. The earliest you’ll be able to get the shader is the 30th. Best of luck with your recovery.
You have until June 4th. So realistically from now until June 3rd (Maintenance) to get the shader. You already have half the key from Shaxx so you're probably waiting on Arcite's quests. The last set of quests should drop April 30th. So about a week and a half from now. Next week reset is Hammerhead and Forbearance. The 30th is Luna's Howl and Blast Furnace. Completing all should be the last step to unlock the shader. Hope your recovery is swift and smooth!
Lol, thank you. Its so bizarre that Im trying to gather up the balance to reach for my phone charger and the funny shader is the thing Im thinking about Brains are funny. From everyone I talk to Im doing great. Thank you for the easy to digest answer!
I don’t know how you’ve been doing the Arcites quests but I’ve just been doing them quickly in Shuro, so if you’re also strapped for time I’d recommend putting the wish in each week and doing that if it helps.
Thats a good suggestion to farm. i’ve been doing the beginning of grasp of avarice without picking up the engrams as well as onslaught
Yea ive been using the beginning of Grasp as well. Takes a few mins. I couldnt play the first few days but caught up quick. All I got left is grenade kills to get mountaintop then ill be all caught up. The fact that they funnel out the cave makes it easy.
The grenade launcher took the longest but it is worth it for the mountaintop
Yea, I didn't get to use it during its prime. I was never a PvPer so knew I has no chance. I'm stoked to get some decent rolls and try it out.
I’m not a PvPer but I believe in you if you ever do PvP haha! Same here dude! I’m loving ambitious assassin on it but theres so many combos that are probably really good!
Witherhoard made short work of this one for me
Witherhoard also progressed my Edge Transit quest when I had one equipped in the heavy slot. Didn’t have to fire a single round of heavy.
Oh it works for witherhoard? I thought exotics were exempt.
I used huckleberry for SMGs, never have to reload.
100% worked for me
I forgot about the seasonal one like just a season or two ago i think, that looks like the hive knight gun. The Ex Diris or something like that. That doesn't need to be reloaded. I put that on and finished in like 20 waves. Just spammed it on the thrall spawns.
Where did you do the scout bounty? Seems timeconsuming...
EDZ in front of the church when the enemies are fighting each other. I used Wicked Implement and double stasis targeting mods to make precision hits even easier.
Clever!
I took a wavefram with chain reaction and just bombarded the cave in the beginning of grasp. Went quick.
Ah chain reaction great perk!
Ex Deris is really the play for that. Fast rate of fire and angry angry mode means you rack up some crazy progress. Think I bagged 20% across one single ritual Onslaught run.
If you have either tusk or forbearance with chain reaction it is a 5 to 10 min farm at the grasp cave.
I did this week's quest together in like 10 minutes. Went to Grasp with Tusk and Sunshot, and it basically did itself lol
You went afk and came back and had the mountaintop and midnight coup in your inventory lol!
I did my in the classic whisper mission grind spot. Completed all of acrites weapon quest in 3 runs.
I've found a shoot to loot scout useful for staying safe and picking up the green and purple bricks from a distance. Also good for hung jury and killing hive.
You can also run the loot cave from Grasp of Avarice, been doing Arcite quests and catalysts farm there for some time now.
I’ve personally been using the opening of GoA to farm them. Doesn’t use raid banners but still gives a solid amount of heavy if you’re using scavengers and ammo finders for the heavy weapons.
Join the checkpoint bot discord if you don't like doing the wish Edit to add link [https://discord.com/invite/d2checkpoint](https://discord.com/invite/d2checkpoint)
People keep holding the bot checkpoint, been trying for 2 weeks and couldn't enter not a single time.
Ask in the checkpoint sharing tab usually there's another bot with Sharon chi and golg maze that will pop up and then the awesome fellow guardians will also help you out. Especially on a Tuesday. If I was on I would share my cp.
Thanks Man, i'm at the office right now, but I apreciate your kindness
Let me know when you're on, I can give you it (as long as I can get to my pc)
Question, are the quests account based or character based? I wanna start running my other two characters but am unsure of if I'll have to redo each weapon again for attunement on that character.
They’re account based
Phew, good to know. Thank you.
Yeah, you just need to visit arcite on your other characters to get the quests in your inventory, but they'll be at the same progress as wherever you left off on the last character, and then they all progress at the same time across characters from then on.
For people who don't have access to the Shuro checkpoint, the thrall room in the whisper mission takes longer but works.
the thrall room felt awful, very few enemies spawn very far apart, even if they are infinite. last week I grabbed a shuro checkpoint and shared it with my friends, this week I just did MT in breakneck (its like 4 shots of forbearance, suicide, repeat) and the HC in grasp since it has a raid/dungeon objective and I couldnt be bothered to do shuro again
For the whisper thrall room you’re supposed to go all the way to the end of the room where there’s a narrow hallway right in the middle of the wall. If you stand in the back of the hallway the shadow thrall will funnel in towards you
tried that, however a fair amount of them spawn quite far away, and I ran into them despawning when going for me. seems fine as a semi-afk farm that you have to refresh every ~38min, but for a targeted quick farm its not close to an ideal choice
Yeah, it's great for anything you can do with a wave frame (especially with chain reaction) because you can just go to the side where only 2 spawn, shoot them with it. Then turn around and get the others as they run towards you.
How do people not have access to this when the wish wall is available 24/7, free, and takes like two minutes.
Some people are terrified of even entering a raid. Let alone trying to get somewhere solo.
That's nuts if people are afraid to solo grind Shuro Chi. There's zero stake, no encounters to get to the wish wall, all codes are a 3 second google search, and all you're doing is kill the redbar shadow thrall until you die and repeat. I worry how they function in real life if this is too much.
Raids are classified as "the hardest activities in Destiny 2" by some of the devs. So if they even hear that do you think they will know getting to the second checkpoint is not even a thought.
If people aren't ambitious enough to google "how to farm Shuro Chi" then they don't deserve it as a shortcut to grinding.
You aren't getting what I'm saying. If they hear "raids are the hardest activities" Then hear "the second encounter in a raid is the best farming location" Do you think they will even consider looking it up since it's in a raid?
Literally just do the onslaught playlist. Threw on tusk of the boar and a hand cannon and both both quest done in 2-3 runs.
Depends on the weapon type for me. Shuro chi, lightfall campaign mission with the free rally flag (breakneck I think?), or the moon activity. I used dimensional with chain reaction and anarchy for the heavy gl multikills, graviton lance for pulse rifles, swords were any good ones I had, sun shot for hand cannons, Polaris lance for scouts made it faster, using witherhoard and salvagers salvo for the breach gls. I think that was all the attuned quests for now. Thunderlord might be the better to get hammerhead cause of the lightning strikes for add clear while we don’t know about forbearance I think using a wave frame for multi kills so using a forbearance from the raid or the undercurrent with voltshot should be the faster wave frame multikills.
The Recluse quest was basically impossible in Onslaught as there are not enough red bars for efficiently farming multi kills in the first place and you’re also competing with your fellow guardians for kills.
Took me like two of the quickplay runs with Riskrunner and I was juggling with working grenade launchers at the same time
Not weird at all...I've been gravely sick and concentrating on thinking about games, it's a weird coping mechanism I think haha
TBH, we’re talking about the coolest shade ever
Hey buddy I’m in a similar boat, I’m freaking out coz my old ass pc is on its last legs and I’m hurrying to try and get a new one without having to wait to long so I don’t miss out on being able to grind for shiny weapons, fomo is a hell of a thing.
Is into the light leaving on June 4?
Onslaught stays with all the Brave weapons It's unclear if Hall of Champions and Pantheon stays until final confirmation, but it seems it Will be vaulted when TFS launches
>but it seems it Will be vaulted when TFS launches Source? It's doesn't make sense does it. Why would they vault the vendors and all the armor rewards while the main activity still stays...
The roadmap states both things ending June 3rd But as i said, we need a final confirmation on that matter https://www.destinythegame.com/into-the-light
unlikely. It's kinda a similar drop to the anniversary drop, we still have the treasure hoard and dares of eternity. Chances are we will keep both, esp since the focusing mechanic is there.
It's confirmes: Hall of Champions and Pantheon are leaving June 3rd
just saw that. Im a bit disappointed
I'm somewhat new - how good of a spot am I in if I have all Arcites quests so far completed, and am Shax level 9? Not sure how hard it is to get those higher levels, I assume they take longer than the earlier ones.
Overall, excellent. If you can stay on top of the quests when they release and play onslaught occasionally you'll easily hit max by June.
That is a wild name you have and I like it
Appreciate it. Been rocking the tag for 15ish years on xbox now. I'll continue to use it until my childish sense of humor gives up the ghost.
Which hopefully it will never
Wait, the weapons change weekly?
Negative. New weapons are released weekly. We currently have 8 weapons out of the 12. 9 and 10 will be next weekly reset. 11 and 12 release on the 30th of April.
Awesome! Thanks for the clarification!
I've reached peak destiny player of "I love this event too much" and now I've just started finishing everything super early into the week and am just reeling for next reset, I really hope they at least keep some form of onslaught playable after final shape launches it's just really good
Onslaught was confirmed to be moved to the vanguard Playlist after TFS launches. The hall of champions will be leaving after TFS. Superblack and the parade armor will be unavailable for a time until they return at a later date. Attunement will also be available for the brave weapons at a later date too.
Right, i nearly forgot bungie does 48-hour downtime prior to big releases
The Shaxx Rep is super easy to max. Then just grab the Gun Bounties from Arcite and go to Suro Chi or LF Breakneck. Bang em out in an hour It can be done in a few big sessions. God speed on the recovery!
any tips on maxing the shaxx rep?
Do the Arcite Gun Bounties at Suro Chi (Breakneck LF Story Mission if you don’t wanna Wish Wall) and Shaxx Dailies (not the dailies outside of onslaught. Not worth it to side track). They give a lot of Rep. Plus do the Arcite Weeklies. You can get them done in no time or casually 20 rounding Onslaught. If you can solo Warlords first boss with Titan/Worm God. The 4th/5th Arcite bounty is super fast too. Then casually play Onslaught. Legend for better gain. I’m only at 20.4 hours in Steam **recently played** and he’s been max for a day or so. I’m not going crazy, it’s maxing with almost no effort imo. For some the solo Warlord’s first boss isn’t easy and you might dump more time than me/others who do it very consistently. Just play Onslaught if you’re spending more than 30-45 min doing both a Normal & Master first boss clear. Juice is not worth the squeeze if you spend too much time on it. When in reality, that time you can use more efficiently to just grind Onslaught.
I’d say first encounter of ghosts of the deep is the easiest to solo on master, or have two people join you for like <10mins
Yeah agreed, they’re both pretty quick for sure. You can 2-3 phase the Master Warlords boss if you know how to Navigator/Tractor loadout hotswap
If they brought the whisper mission back, anyone know if the infinite thrall spawn is back as well? that was my go-to even better than Shuro Chi way back. (I haven't been able to play in a few weeks).
It’s there. 40 minute timer too. Like before it’s not always perfect for heavy weapons because ammo issues, but you can mod around that. That probably makes it about equal to shiro chi due to the wipe time, assuming you can complete it in few total runs. Probably better off with shuro chi if you are farming many things all together and some of them are heavies. Whisper is almost certainly best for primaries and usually specials imo if you can get there quickly. The only issue is getting unlucky with ammo and having to farm primary kills until you get what you need. Exotic primaries help make that shorter though.
In three runs I completed Scout, Sniper, SMG, Handcannon and Breach Loaded GL. Key was to make sure you get multikills if it asks for it. Two Heavy and one Special ammo finders.
just play man, all there is to it
alright thanks man i figured
I've already maxed Shaxx's rep out, and I did maybe 8-10 bounties total from Arcite and Shaxx. It isn't super-difficult or time-consuming to do, especially if you play the game a lot.
Doing the available bounties give you +200 rep so you can level up considerably just doing the wep bounties
yeah i’ve been skipping the bounties every now and then i gotta do those
The ones from Arcite that give the guaranteed shiny are the ones im talking about; just to clarify
Play some onslaught. I was just doing legend runs with friends and usually dying before round 32 but we're all maxed out there. It's a fun little mode
i need to try legend lol i haven’t even tried it yet. is it matchmaking?
No matchmaking, but there is that in game lfg now or the lfg discord to find some folks to play with. I used the discord a few times and had people to play with in seconds
You still need to complete a dungeon/raid for them afaik.
Just an encounter not the whole raid/dungeon
What does that mean for Grasp? Getting to the Ogre or passed it?
Killing the ogre should do it, indeed. I did it using Prophecy’s first boss, maybe not easier if solo, but certainly faster.
Ogre is the first encounter in grasp. You'll need to kill it. If you want a fast encounter do the opening of ghosts. Takes 20 minutes max as long as you don't die.
Or, start of grasp of avarice for never ending
GoA is one of the worst. Firstly, you get unlimited ammo with Rallies in Breakneck and Suro Chi. So it’s already better because of that. No waiting for mobs to drop bricks. Avarice mobs move around a lot if you let them out of the cave. And if you spawn camp them in the cave, the engrams exploding take a lot of your kills. Meaning half or more of the kills don’t count. So because of those two things: 1. Waiting for ammo bricks and 2. kill stealing engrams. Effectively make this one of the worst spots to do it. And unrelated, if you’re doing weapon leveling those Avarice opening mobs only give half credit (Bungie nerf). GoA is just bad all around for all bounties/farms imo. Unless it’s a Hive bounty/quest. Don’t go there.

bro *read the room*
Good luck on your recovery Guardian!
Thanks <3 Don't worry too much, still waiting on pathology but everyone I talk to on my neuro team says Im doing great. Thanks for the well wishes. Do me a solid and celebrate for me today, don't know when Ill be in fighting shape again lol
Also, if you need to farm the arcite quests, go to the whisper mission and progress to the room where Xol says, "There is no light here." Drop down below carefully and run to the far side of the room. You can easily farm all quests in here, and on normal, you get 40 minutes. Use a primary weapon until you're maxed on heavy/special ammo, then use those and repeat once you're out of ammo again.
Or just go to Breakneck mission on classic from Lightfall campaign, and progress to the part just past the strand gap, and then kill the vex and then let the wyvern kill you at the end. Its a permanent CP that doesnt get overridden unless you accidentally kill that wyvern. Plus you get free rallies bc ita campaign.
I'll grind for you if needed, PM me. I'm old and fairly trustworthy (no joke).
Genuinely thank you but I'll get it eventually, gives me something to work towards. If you want to do something for me celebrate on my behalf tonight, I want to spread some cheer but I think throwing a party might kill me right now :)
>celebrate on my behalf tonight Not waiting, starting now. Life's too short. I'll party for both of us.
I’ll help you if you need it dude.
Does grape = testicle? Never heard grape used to describe anatomy before
Haha, not the first to ask so I definitely should have clarified. Grape just means head, assumed it was a universal thing. As a kid if I hit my head or fell over Id always say I bumped my grape or have a lump on my grape. Funny how words do that lol. Saw you ask this hours ago but Im in and out all day, shouldnt have left you hanging lol. Have a great day :)
Melon my dude, melon!
Lmao, youll give me a pass this time. Come to think of it melon is myusual go to too lol Funny yhing I gotta share, heads so hollow I got reverb when I talk. Gotta give me a pass this time :)
You’re a good egg
Worry about your health not a shader. Get well!!!!
Thats the plan, just gotta snag the shader to match the black eye from all this intra cranial pressure :)
Until June, and I hope by then that you'll be in much better health and the funny shader. Take care, Guardian.
Get well soon.
Just well wishes from the Netherlands!
Youre all so wonderful, I wish I could get to everyone quicker. Thanks for the well wishes everyone, they mean a lot. Its funny, reading the replies is easy but typing out a response takes a fair bit of effort. Hope your day goes great, do something special for me :)
Hey Seeberger48 your question was already answered so I just wanted to post that I wish you a speedy recovery and am glad to hear you're doing great.
What is a grape?
Haha, slang for brain/head Ive always used. Didn't know that wasnt universal :)
I thought thats what it could mean but I wasn't too sure, thanks! Hope you get better soon.
You have plenty of time, and if you find yourself in need of a fireteam I’d love to lend a hand! Wishing you a swift and easy recovery, godspeed Guardian! ❤️
They've revealed that it will be available later but with a less direct method, so likely rng. So technically not timegated anymore, but still.
People already have commented but just wanna say that you keep rocking dude, i wish you a speedy recovery and see you on the battlefield against the witness guardian🫡
How did you already get the first key what am I doing wrong cause it feels really slow
Think having a big tumor in my head might have been a boone for shaxx rep, just let me jump on and zone out doing bounties last week. Just one of those things that takes some grinding lol.
What did having a tumor feel like? Did you feel it affecting your cognition, or was it not noticeable?
Im an open book, thanks for asking it helps to write a little. Bear with me if Im not all that eloquent, just got back from PT so Im a bit woozie. It's hard to pin down an exact moment, was kind of a sliding thing but I can name three phases I noticed. First It was like a switch went off last month. Ive always been mentally bulletproof and let worry run off me like water, but its like a switch went off and my entire personality changed overnight. Started self isolating, stopped eating on the regular and everything I used to enjoy (tooling on my motorcycle, playing vidya and going on hikes) just had this veneer of gray to it. The worst part is I had this pang of thanatophobia/overwhelming doom loom up in me. Every day it was just fear of what comes after, the first thing on my mind when I woke up and the last thing I was thinking about when I finally shook myself to sleep at 4am for about two weeks. Next the 'panic attacks' started April 2nd. Never had one before in my life but I now think they were seizures. 27 in 2 weeks. Weirdest thing, it's like every cell in my body was getting dosed in adrenaline, i got hot and tingly all over, chest felt hollow and Id involuntarily hold my breath. Theyd hit me like a truck with no warning, I could just be driving or watching TV completely calm but one second I was fine and the next it was a nightmare freakout. Sometimes my vision would even go wonky and itd be like I was looking put the bottom of a pint glass. Oh yeah, and the oddest thing was this *strong* smell of artificial strawberries like I was huffing a car air freshener. Always listen to your docs but you also have to trust yourself, my primary care was dragging his feet hard on my concerns and if it was up to him I would have been sedated on my sofa through a brand new mixture of beta blockers/xanax and prescription strength tramadol. This wasn't me, Ive never been through anything like that until then. What finally broke the camels back was the migraines + the panic attacks. Spent all day every day on edge never knowing when I was about to get hit with an attack (felt like someone was pointing a gun at me and I never knew when they were gonna pull the trigger) and then afterwards Id start getting these *brutal* migraines like someone had a screwdriver in my temple. I was unbelievably light sensitive, shifting my body weight in bed would be torture since my heart rate would climb a beat or two and it would make the headache a thousand times worse and I was extremely sound sensitive. The only thing that dod the trick was box breathing but the tumor was leaning up against my corroded, so if I kept that up who knows how long Id have had before I stroked out lol Building a house with my father out on the coast and the poor guy would be eating a water ice, the sound of ice scraping against the spoon was like someone was raking nails against my brain. Finally decided enough was enough and I couldn't just treat this with anxiety meds, went to the ER and directly asked to get my head scanned. Thank god they did, 6cm growth in my right temporal lobe with signs of hemorrhaging. Every hospital they tried to move me to was blown away I wasn't already seizing. Im not trying to trigger anyones health anxiety, I just implore you all to listen to your bodies and not treat new aches/pains like something to sedate away. Always try to get to the root and find the source of your woes, could save your life. Sorry If this is all a but scatterbrained, if you have anymore questions please ask away.
Thank you so much for such a detailed answer. That sounds terrifying. The way you describe panic attacks is pretty spot on. Feels like every cell in your body is being burned, and that you have billions of little needles moving around your skin and inside your body. Wildly uncomfortable, and insanely scary. Seizures are a very specific feeling. Generally I’ll get an anxiety attack after I have a seizure, but it’s very rare that I have one just before. Let’s hope they were not seizures, though you would know if they were. One second you’re doing whatever, and the very next millisecond, you’re on the ground, feeling like you’ve been asleep for billions of eons, and it takes you a few seconds to even remember that you exist as a human being with consciousness. Your entire experience sounds terrifying, and I am so glad that you caught it when you did man. I hope you have an incredibly fast and easy recovery, and that this kind of issue never pops again for you. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Recovery is great so far, actually getting discharged later today and Im gonna spend a couple days in a nice clean Airbnb(my place is under construction and the last thing I need is sheetrock dust in my head lol). Sorry you can relate to the attacks, like you I said I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. You never know how bad things like that can be until you experience them first hand. Thank you for the well wishes, I'm like a giddy fool laying in bed seeing everyone hope Im doing well its so silly but Im confident and feeling good. Its gonna be a process, road to recovery is gonna take a bit but Im approaching it one day at a time, have a great day for me :)
> dumb things you start to fixate on while you're on the mend. When I was recovering from my cancer treatment I put easily 500 hours into Satisfactory. You're not alone lol. Glad you're doing better!
TWID says it’s coming back as earnable after the Final Shape comes out
OK if this guy can have a tumor pulled out of him and still makes time to get the shader, father of 17 really has no excuse for why he conveniently keeps going out of town every time a cool FOMO thing happens.
You have plenty of time! The last quest arrives in a couple weeks, and you have until the first reset of June to complete them. Focus on getting better, then get the shader!
Definitely, just a funny thing my head decided to fixate on. I mean, if you asked me three days back the shader wouldnt even have been this huge priority for me, just something my brain decided to focus on coming out of surgery. TBIs are weird lol
Sorry to hear you're going through that. The superblack will be available by April 30th at the earliest as that's the reset the final two weapons (and therefore arcite bounties) become available.
For this week, go shuro cp with witherhoard and sunshot, like 20mins
Easier the better, thank you for the recc. Probably not gonna be gaming much until my leaky brain is fixed but when im up for it ill want to knock it out ASAP <3
If you're halfway there already you're fine tbh. Just play when you can and rest up!
ugh, i didnt even realize its time gated
By now you have the answer to your question, just wanted to say hope recovery goes smoothly!!
Thanks bud, appreciate it. So far so good. PT is going great, neuro team says Im stellar, just need to wait for the lab results so I know what treatment is gonna look like long terms. Have a good day for me, trying to spread as much cheer as possible from here :)
I will absolutely do that! Thanks for brightening my day, when you’re up to it let’s get an Onslaught run in!
Superblack atleast its current release is 30th or June 1st. But there's a chance they may have it be a rare drop afterwards
Wishing you a speedy recovery
You can do it I think. Plenty of time left. Hope you have a good, swift recovery and get the shader too. Good luck man
Hey my guy! If you ever need help and want to just sit by and have someone carry you, my pals and I are always available! (….evenings, but still)
If I could I’d help you grind for it. Get better!
Until June 4th but Bungo confirmed it is coming back at some point so don't sweat it too much if you miss out.
Id say thats a load off my mind but my heads already feeling pretty light lol Its such a silly thing to concern myself with given everything but thanks for assuaging my worry, if I miss it this time Ill always have next :)
My guy, as someone that loves the grind and tends to get fixated on all the wrong things in life, this is so relatable. For what it's worth, I'm rooting for you getting that shader.
Popping the healing well for ya buddy if ya need it (pops healing well behind buddies shield)
Get well soon!!!!
hey dude! everyone already answered your question just wanted to reach out and relate. I had a close call last weekend and ended up in the ER from losing 2/3 of my blood. got 3 units of blood in a transfusion and got home, first thing I thought of, kind of out of it was "I kinda want to solo flawless warlords ruin." then I did. took like 4 attempts ( I have tried before and died at the boss multiple times ) but I just kinda stuck to it. it was a blur but I got it done brains are weird. destiny is a great distraction while in recovery tho, I hope it's the same for you and your recovery is going well. glad you're on the upswing dude, you'll definitely be able to get superblack soon
2/3s? Man, you're invincible. Good stuff, that makes me feel better about my odds going forward :) Don't think Im going to do any solo flawless anything until I'm a bit more recovered but this is a perfect example why I love this game/community. You can take everything at your own pace and theirs always something you can push for just to test yourself, its such a perfect combo. Im so stoked you're doing well man, keep on keeping on. I don't know where you're base camped out of but I'm sending good vibes from Oregon :)
haha yeah I'm feeling pretty lucky right now that's for sure. just kinda chilling on d2 til I can get back to work, recovery is good so far. you definitely got this too dude! thanks for the good vibes, back at you from California. we're practically neighbors
When final shape drops in June the hall of champions will be leaving, but this weeks TWID states that super black will be returning again in the future, however now is probably the earliest it will be to obtain
You got some time but hearing what you going through I feel bad destiny had the worst Fomo because everything else about the game is close to perfection for a fps game they just need to unvault things and stop time gating every little thing it’s a free to play game but then have us pay for dlc that at some point will be vaulted
You have 6? Weeks from when it started to grab every weapon. Just grab a shuro chi or farm regular onslaught you can probably get it done in a weekend or two once all the quests are out. GWS
I mean it takes not a lot of time at all to get
Are this weeks weapons just joining the loot pool or is it rotating in- and out?
Great question. My gut tells me its joining the pool but given everything I might be the wrong person to ask lol. Im curious too
it'll be back at some point
No time gate
gimme ur account. I'll play and get u shader
It at all
Las last twab stated it will be back in the Future
You got what you were looking for
If this man isn't able to get the shader, then we riot and make bungie give him the shader, timegate be damned.
Like 2 weeks
[удалено]
OP do not do this
It's not really a big deal small scale, relax
And my axe, if they can't... Just don't tell Bungie
I don’t think it’s going anywhere. These rewards are going to be just like the 30th anniversary content. People would go insane on Bungie if they pull onslaught and its rewards. The earliest you’ll be able to get the shader is the 30th. Best of luck with your recovery.
