Easiest way to get strange coins for Xur?

Weekly Heroic.

Really easy this week, just rush through most parts with your sparrow. The lieutenants are easy and the Tank takes some patience with range weapon. Final boss has a hiding spot but I did it the hard way without much fuss.
 
Other than Xur, is there anywhere to buy decent weapons without crucible marks (I hate Pvp). Vanguard marks only seem to give armour.
 
He's near where the vanguard vendors are.
Loot is as follows:
Red Death. Very high impact pulse rifle with 'kills heal you and speed up reloads' and 'easier to aim under fire perks' 23 coins
Exotic head engram. 23 motes
Sunbreakers(again??). 13 coins
Achlyophage Symbiote. Hunter helm with 'increased grenade throw distance','Golden gun gains one additional shot per use' and 'more super energy from grenade kills'. 13 coins
Helm of Saint-14. Titan helm with 'increased melee attack speed','more super energy from non guardian kills' and 'Ward of Dawn blinds enemies who enter it'. 13 coins.

I have been using this for a while now, I probably should have linked it as it is very useful. I don't think all the events are listed on there though as I'm sure there was a walker event on the moon last night that isn't listed on there.

Heh I got that Titan helmet from the helmet engram last week.

I like the sound of that Hunter headgear. Got the Knucklehead Radar last week but it'd be handy to have something specific for Gunslinger. Not sure how many coins I have left though...

Also lol@Sunbreakers for the 3rd time...

Red Death does sound nice but I've got the Bad Juju bounty in the works.
 
Grrr.. bought an engram from Xur and ended up with a Titan helm... that's the 1st yellow item I've got, and it's for a Titan and I'm a hunter.. It goes into the vault with my other 4 purple titan bits of armour compared the the 2 I have for my hunter..

Maybe it's time to start a 2nd character and make use of them.
 
Bought my Xbox Tuesday night. Love destiny. Level 13 as a warlock. Crucible is hilariously fun when you supercharge four of them on a control point.

gonna play some more tonight. Have this purple item called an ascendant shard. What does it do?
 
Hold off judging an exotic until you unlock both abilities, although I have both abilities on mine and I can say it still sucks in most cases :p

Yeah I guess the perks make or break them - but it doesn't look that good even fully upgraded as you say!!
I have enough to fully upgrade Suros so will do that first then look at other exotics. I seem to get exotics at 5x the rate I can upgrade them though.

This morning, went on for 1 hour and got yet another Exotic bounty.

This will be my 7th Exotic weapon once I finish them all.



As I have said before though, people I play with have been very unlucky so I wish (at least while on my fireteam) I could give them weapons to use. It would allow people to play with friends during higher level content without the need for the friend to get lucky or grind it out.

My mates have 1 legendary weapon between the 2 of them yet I have 7 exotics and 5-6 legendaries. I've played more, but not THAT much more!


So even when RNG favours you, it still sucks! haha :rolleyes:
 
I could've bought Suros Regime last week but decided to buy the Titan chest instead which immediately revives team mates, basically thought it would help more than the auto rifle for raids... I'm beginning to regret my decision =(
 
I have a few exotics now, all of which I dislike barring the handgun.

If I dismantle them, is that sacrilege? Seems a shame to dismantle them but if they're not getting used, they're otherwise just a novelty item.


Too much recoil and prefer rocket launchers...

Underpowered and have come to prefer fusion rifles. The fact it creates ammo for itself every 30 seconds is mitigated by the otherwise crappy stats

Love this, it's my baby....

Also, after maxing out both subs on my Titan, I tried Hunter. Got to level 14 and disliked it that much I deleted it entirely.

Started Warlock Sunsinger lastnight and am only up to level 6 but oh boy, this is the class I wish I picked from the start. What is odd in my opinion, which I've seen no one mention, is I picked Titan for armour and better protection. Only to find that Warlock class has something called along the lines of "all armour or nothing", which basically gives you a good boost in armour, granted not as much as Titan but damn close. Radiance is a crazy super and only looks to become more useful and flexible as I continue to rank.

poor week for Titans, Helmet that most won't use (anybody who tries to go and melee people in the vault of glass likely won't get invited back) and a helmet engram that will likely get you that or another helmet for another class thats of no use, or the Helm of Utmost light that I already have.

Quick question does doing the nightfall repeatedly grant you rewards each time?

No. You can still pick up drops inside, but no reward at the end.

that pulse rifle sounds very good - especially for PvP.
"easier to aim whilst under fire" is OP as hell, heals + faster reloads are useful too.

I'll probably buy it tonight

Don't dismantle ANY exotics right now, Bungie has announced they will be buffing the less useful exotic weapons, so there is a good chance they will get some crazy stats in the future.

All classes have some perks to help customise their stats, but nothing will ever have more armor than a fully armor-specced Titan as it is their main stat.

That Titan helmet is epic for PvP events like control and salvage. Could be rather good for skirmish for having your whole team inside...

PvE - would it even blind your fire team? I'd assume it wouldn't so could be good in case something strong walks into it

ps3ud0 :cool:
