Is there an easy way to get raiding? I'm at 296 light and that ain't moving fast and want to start but can't find anyone to join with.

Post in the raid & PVP thread on here and you will no doubt get people signing up.

Just make it clear what system you are on and the date / time you want to raid. :)

Or find a group on 100.io, Ive done about 3 raids in the past 2 days with a bunch of randoms and honestly it was a good laugh. Most of the groups on there are casual gamers, who dont get all ragey when you die a lot or cant get to grips with the jumping parts of the raid. Seriously give it a go, I had my doubts but i joined up with a group of American guys and they were beyond brilliant...no stress or drama just a good freaking laugh when one of us got blasted off the ledge by the big pistons lol.

Saying that tonight just finished off a raid, got the scout rifle doom of chelchis or something along with a 310 kingslayer ghost so im up to 305 light level. So pretty pleased with that drop....only thing is that it took us a good hr or so to get Oryx down. Mainly due to the fact that we had some weird glitches happening ie people dying even though they were in the aura and also after killing the shade of oryx one of us was getting killed even though there were no thralls around :/. but in the end we just went back to orbit then tried again and got him down the first time....was tough going as its meant to be the easiest part of the raid really.

One other thing we noticed is that the cocoon perk isnt working?? both my secondary and heavy with those 2 perks didnt work ie from what i understand its meant to reload if its stowed away ie empty mag and you change weapons etc. Or maybe ive got it wrong but it just doesnt seem to be working for me and a few other today on the raid.

To me it looks like its bugged or bungie nerfed it with the last update pushed out...anyone have this issue or am i completely mis-understanding the perk itself.
 
Cocoon seems to work after the gun is manually reloaded for the first time. The first reload after picking up ammo when the gun is empty doesn't seem to trigger the perk. Very odd and always catches me out on my RL.
 
Nope they're all sub-300. Exotics have a (50/50?) chance to decrypt at 310 if you're 300+ light level, and 100% chance of 310 if you're 310+ light level.
It's not 100% if you're 310+. I'm 310 and I've had an exotic decrypt to 290. I do believe however that if you're 310+ then the chances of the exotic being 310 go up.

Yeah, that's how I understand it. If you're completely out of ammo and you pick some up, you have to do a manual reload first. I've not had any issues with Cocoon besides that.
 
Exotics do infuse a little higher than legendaries, I think only into legendaries though. Try out a few on a calculator.
I don't think they do. You get 80% for infusing any item into a legendary, and 70% for infusing into an exotic. I don't think the item you're using as infusion fuel matters whether it's rare/legendary/exotic.
 
Well I didn't bother yesterday as I got a highish(For me) 297 Sniper almost straight away and infused the JabberHakke-D with it for a 292 and its awesome. This along with my Zhalo Supercell is a great combo.

Something odd though is that the Zhalo often seems to fire a lot more than the 36 rounds?

check the perks. one of them will add ammo. i think it is when you get a kill maybe? can't remember right now.

When you get a quick double kill I believe it reloads a few rounds for you. If you're facing a mass of thrall you can go for ages without having to reload. I think it would be great fun in the Abyss in Crota's End.

hmm the calculator I was looking at the other say had an option for legendary/exotic on the item to use for infusion that made a difference.....checked today and the option is gone so guess it was corrected.

Ah that would be why then. Its a fantastic spray and pray machine and even better with the Arc damage and extra rounds things. .:D

I managed to get 3 x Exotics in 1 weekend.. :o

Can't remember which strike or mission it was, but you walk down a massive walkway across a cavern and there are constantly thralls running up from the opposite side to get you, I managed to get from one side to the other, killing everything in the process, without reloadong once. Zhalo is awesome :D

Sunless cell.......still my goto ToC run.

My personal favourite is trying to clear them all with a single Hung Jury mag, firefly procs every time!

Is that this one: http://mattaltepeter.com/destiny/

He updated it last week after a meeting with guys from Bungie once he realised the type of infusion fuel didn't matter.

Cocoon essentially checks for reserve ammo each time a weapon is stowed. So if you have 0 heavy, and pick up one box, all you have to do is switch to your HMG or RL and then back to your primary etc. Otherwise cocoon won't have a chance to check.
