I thought the guaranteed key for doing Petra bounties was per character? Just done a bounty on my warlock and got a key but did one on my hunter and didn't. So is it once per player rather than once per character?

I only got one key, too. It looks like it's per player.

I already got one Treasure Key last night on my Hunter. Just did the Cosmodrome one quick on my Warlock and Titan, and another dropped but only on my Titan.

Seems like one is definitely guaranteed per week, but whether you get it on other characters is up to chance.

What are the drop rates like on the Queen's Cipher? Burned all my keys this week...going to have to farm them before cracking on with 32+ for the cipher....I assume you have to have a key to have a chance of getting the cipher....?

It was my understanding that the Cipher drops immediately after killing the boss, not from the chest. Could be wrong though.

Ah I'm after the second part. The Elder Cipher dropped from killing Skolas. Step 2 of the bounty is to collect the Queen's Cipher which I think is from a 32+ poe chest . All out of keys though. Hope I can farm enough to get the queens cipher before the weekend as the next step is to wait up to 4 days :S

Is the ship meant to be a guaranteed drop from Skolas? I didn't get it :'( ships were full

Ship, shader and banner should be from first time opening chest after killing skolas, I've got the ship again after opening chest on second kill but nothing else duplicated.

Fr0dders · 10 Jun 2015 at 23:46

I did it again today and got a duplicate ship.

If your heading into crucible guys be wear, there is a cheese where a gunslinger can get a full super bar from 1 kill of their trapmine grenade.

Seen it 4 times in 10 matches today lol, hope its fixed ASAP.

Fr0dders · 11 Jun 2015 at 08:13

that's not a cheese, that's straight out exploiting a glitch.

Robi · 11 Jun 2015 at 09:14

Ignore.

This is quite a good video, which demonstrates it's not half as bad in crucible as people are making out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3_nvDHQezU

He gets the kill on the first one because he combines it with thorn. All of the swarm hits one unshielded opponent and gets the kill. How many times have you been killed outright by a swarm grenade because you sat there and let them all hit you?

His latter grenades get him about 25% of his super. The swarm hits multiple characters with various shield levels.

Granted it's definitely a high reward, but it's not the game breaker some redditor's appear to be suggesting.

Fallen god · 11 Jun 2015 at 10:07

I was playing some elimination and someone had a golden gun almost instantly, without killing anyone. He just hit 2 guys with swarm grenades and was good to go. For a game mode like that its basically KO, I could see it being insane in something like ToO where someone could have a golden gun each round on a team.

Fr0dders · 11 Jun 2015 at 10:36

this is the key point its only reliant upon them hitting, not getting the kill.

Bigpig · 11 Jun 2015 at 19:47

Just got Khepri's Sting. They any good seems pretty decent allowing me to pick a perk other than stalker?

Psycho Sonny · 11 Jun 2015 at 20:22

out of all the new weapons the ones with the II in the corner.

which ones are worth keeping or re-forging?

is there a list? my vault is getting clogged up with stuff.

i know el matador is worth keeping but unsure of anything else.

Fr0dders · 12 Jun 2015 at 08:21

heres a good guide as to whats hot and whats not.

Skolas encounter changes for next week for anyone that missed it...

New Modifier combinations (Arc, Void, and Solar Burn will be removed)
Boss health is reduced (to compensate for the lack of burn)
Minions will spawn at predictable health intervals
Minor adjustment to the unit makeup of the combatant waves

I like the sounds of those changes. Tried twice now and still not been able to finish the fight, it's insane at the moment.

mid_gen · 12 Jun 2015 at 09:40

Should be a fair bit easier. I assume they are going to link the mines to the adds spawning, if not you can just clear the adds, dismantle mines, then down skolas.

Of course, you'll have to manage the poison buff thing properly now....
