Earn all your faction gear in one hour!

Hi Guardians welcome back for another video where I give you tips and tricks so you can play this game as efficient and effective as possible.

Today I am going to show you how you can earn all your faction gear in under an hour.

With the latest update you can pledge to one of the Faction, Future War Cult, Dead Orbit and New Monarchy and earn tokens by just playing the game. Once you have 20 tokens you can trade them in for gear.

By the end of the week, the faction that has the most tokens gathered by all the guardians will win and you will be able to buy one of their weapons for only one thousand glimmer if you are pledged to the winning faction. For those who didn't , the gun will cost fifty thousand glimmer.

But you can also just earn all of your faction gear in under an hour with the following method. Remember that I said that you can earn tokens and trade them in for gear? What we are going to do is farming those tokens and trade them in so you have all of the weapons and gear from your faction.

For this farming method we are going to the lost sector on the rig on Titan. Just follow my lead here, we will be heading towards the Cargo Bay lost sector that is located on the left when you land on the rig. Jump over the ledge to enter the building , and from here go down the stairs towards the lost sector.

In the lost sector there will be 6 supplies that spawn on 8 different locations. Shooting these supplies will give you a faction token. So that is essentially the strategy here, we enter the lost sector, shoot the 6 supplies to get 6 tokens , rinse and repeat.

To make it easier for you I have located all 8 possible locations of the supplies. When you enter the room there might be one on the far left side wall, the second one is at the far back left corner, number 3 is behind the container, the fourth one is all the way in the middle at the back wall, Number 5 is in front of you and number 6 a bit further away before the ledge, Number 7 is sticked against the left wall of the right container hidden behind a box, and the last one is in the far right hand corner.

To make the run as efficient as possible I recommend to run any gun with Explosive rounds, this will be able to 2 shot the supplies making your run much more efficient.

You can use the better devils hand cannon or the exotic Sunshot hand cannon, or use the Blue scout rifle the Madrugada SR2, this has lightweight frame to move faster and explosive rounds.

If you are using a hand cannon you should use this route where we shoot the supplies in the following order, 5,7,6,3,1,2,4,8.

As you can see in the video first check the supply in front of you, then jump on the container to check location 7 on the right 6 in front of you and 3 on your left, then make a left and check spot number 1 , head to the back corner to check spot 2 make your way to the middle back to check 4 and head over to the last spot number 8 to finish your run. Afterwards head back to the middle and get yourself killed in order to respawn.

The most efficient run is to use the scout rifle, since it has lightweight which makes you move faster and you can hit the supply from further away which means less time spent on running.

The farming route is slightly different you start with 5 in front of you, head to the right to check number 8 then head to the back and check 4, from this position you can check number 3 and 1, then go to the back to check 2, and you will be ending with 7 and 6. Rinse and repeat.

By doing so you can get enough tokens in an hour to get all the gear you want from your faction, You can turn in a maximum of 600 tokens per character after that you will only get shaders. So that means you can get up to 30 legendary weapons or gear. And this should be plenty enough to get all the faction gear.

Thanks you so much for watching this video. I hope this helps you get the gear you want. Subscribe if you want to see more content or watch my latest or recommended video in the end screen. As always I will see you in the next video guardians.

Uriel's Gift

Hi Guardians welcome back for another destiny in-depth review where I review exotics and legendary gear in order to give you a comprehensive understanding of the gear so you can play this game as efficient and effective as possible.

Today we are going to review one of the best auto rifle in the game the Uriel's Gift. This weapon sits in the popular 450 RPM medium fast firing category, which is very popular in the crucible at the moment.

The description of this gun goes as follows;

Take weapon in hand and fly to victory.

And this description suits the gun a lot. You will be having a great time with this gun in the crucible, but before we start the review lets have a look at the perks of this gun.

First of all it has Precision Frame, which makes the recoil more vertical , so it eliminates the left and right recoil making this gun much easier to handle.

As for scopes we have the

Spark PS

And Flash HS5

I prefer the Flash scope for that increase in range.

And we have High caliber rounds which increases the flinch on the receiving side

Steady rounds which increases the stability of the gun even more

And the final perk is Tap the Trigger, which grants a short period of increased stability and accuracy on the initial trigger pull.

A good Auto rifle will have two essential elements which is stability and range,

Stability is essential for obvious reasons if the recoil is all over the place you won't be able to hit your target consistently. So you want a gun to be stable and have a consistent recoil pattern that is easily manageable. A gun that is not stable is not necessarily bad if it has a very predictable recoil pattern that can be easily managed by countering this with your thumbstick to the opposite direction. The key thing here is consistency , if there was no consistency in the recoil pattern you would not be able to consistently counter the recoil.

The ideal situation would be to have perfect stability so you don't have to correct for the recoil, but again consistency is the key here.

And range is important in order to carry over the maximum potential damage over a certain distance, before damage fall off starts. More range means that you are more lethal over longer distances.

And the Uriel's Gift has both great stability and great range. Precision Frame and Tap the trigger works very well together, Precision frame makes the recoil more vertical so that it is easier to handle and Tap the trigger gives you an extra stability boost when you start firing your gun. This combination of perks makes this gun super accurate.

And on top of that the Uriel's Gift also has great range to begin with. It has a range stat of 70 which is good but you can increase this to a whopping 84 when you use the Flash Scope. This makes it one of the highest range auto rifle in the game and the combination of this together with the great stability makes this gun such a pleasure to use in the crucible.

And we are not done yet! There is one more thing that we need to talk about which is the High Caliber Rounds perk. High caliber rounds makes it harder for the enemy to shoot you back because the flinch coming from your shots will be much more severe.

High Caliber rounds is what makes the Mida Multi Tool so great, the ability to knock your opponent back can make a huge difference in a gunfight, this can give you a slight benefit since high caliber rounds makes it harder for your opponent to return fire.

This works especially well if you are the one that pulls the trigger first, in a one on one engagement and having everything else the same you will most likely win the fight if you have high caliber rounds and the other person not.

There is the option to choose steady rounds instead of High caliber rounds for that extra increase in stability. But this gun already has excellent stability and there is really no need to add any extra stability with Steady rounds, and you will be missing out on the fantastic high caliber rounds if you choose steady rounds instead.  So it is a no-brainer here to choose High Caliber rounds instead.

And in Pve High Caliber rounds can help you stunlock higher level enemies and keep those yellow bar captains in check.

So combining all of these perks together and you have an excellent auto rifle that is stable and effective on a very long range compared with other auto rifles and it has the ability to throw off the aim of your opponent. And the fact that it is an energy weapon means that you can deal extra damage against guardians in their super in Pvp too and shut those supers down which can really turn the tide in a game.

I am going to give the Uriel's Gift an A.

Thank you so much for watching this review, I hope this review helps you out and make you get the most out of this gun.

Destiny 2 Origin Story In-Depth Review

Welcome Guardians, this is the YouTube Channel for all things Destiny! This channel aims to provide you news, gameplay and tips & tricks for Destiny. Join and Subscribe for more videos!

Hi Guardians welcome back for another destiny in-depth review where I review exotics and legendary gear, whether this is a weapon or armor in order to give you a comprehensive understanding of the gear so you can play this game as efficient and effective as possible.

Today we are going to review the Auto rifle the Origin Story. This is currently one of the most popular auto rifles in the game. It sits in the Medium fast firing archetype which is the 450 RPM category, and if you do not know this yet. This is currently the meta of the game.

Let's go over the perks.

This gun has the hitmark IS

Red dot 2 MOA

And the Red Dot Micro scope

I use the Red Dot Micro to max out the range of this gun so I can negate the damage fall off as much as possible.

Appended Magazine which increases the mag from 32 to 36

Flared magwell, which increases the reload speed and stability of the gun

And rampage which increases the damage of this gun after a kill , which we will talk about it later in this review.

This gun sits in a very nice place at the moment, the 450 RPM auto rifles are dominating the crucible and the Origin Story is one of the best in this weapon archetype.

It is a very balanced gun in terms of range, recoil and target acquisition. On the short to medium range you won't have any problems hitting your target. It has great range and the gun is very stable. With the perks and scopes I recommend to build on the strengths of this gun by using the Red Dot Micro scope which increases the range and Flared Magwell which does not only increases your reload speed but also adds stability as well to the gun.

The perk that makes this gun special is the Rampage perk. This perk will increase the damage of this gun after a kill for a short time and it stacks up to 3 times.

But what does this perk exactly do? So lets test it out.

Without proccing rampage you will do 23 damage to the head and 16 damage to the body

1 stack of rampage will increase the damage to 25 to the head and 18 to the body

2 stacks of rampage will do 28 damage to the head and 20 to the body

And 3 stacks of rampage will do a whopping 30 to the head and 22 damage to the body.

After some thorough testing of the rampage perk, we now know that this perk is basically the stackable version of the Crowd Control perk from Destiny 1. After a kill you will get a 15% increase in damage for 3 seconds and that can stack up to 3 times.

It is pretty rare to get 3 stacks of rampage in pvp, since the perk only last 3 seconds and sometimes you will need to reload which lets you lose precious seconds to benefit from the perk, most likely you will be able to get 1 or 2 stacks of this perk before this runs out.

But this perk does make a big difference if you are going into a 1v1 and your opponent has a similar gun, assuming you have the same armor level as your opponent you will win that battle if this perk is active.

So this gun is great on the short to medium range and it is has great perks as well that really plays well on the strength of this gun, the only downside is that you will have a harder time with hitting your target on those longer ranges. But luckily for us,  in general the maps are not that big so typically you don't have to engage in the medium to long range. And the gun actually does surprisingly well in the long range when you compare it with other auto rifles, you are still hitting your target but you will need to do a lot more recoil control compared with when you are on the short to medium range, which is really where the origin story shines.

In Pve, this gun is great, the rampage perk works especially well here since you can easily get multiple kills within a short amount of time. In Pve I would swap Flared Magwell with appended mag so you have those extra bullets to deal more DPS before the rampage perk runs out.

What more can I say, this auto rifle kills stuff and it kills stuff very well.

So this gun is very well rounded, in pvp this is my trusty workhorse which is consistent and stable and it is easy to hit your target as long as you don't enter too much into the medium to long range area. And it is also doing a great job in PVE as well, the rampage perk will help with that extra damage boost and it is very easy to proc this when you are dealing with a lot of adds. It won't be a DPS weapon for bosses but that is why you have your super or power weapon for, your primary is to deal with low level enemies and that is exactly what this gun is good at.

To sum it up the gun is a very consistent workhorse in Pvp and it does its job in Pve as well which is slaying enemies, this gun is not crazy Overpowered but as I said it just does its job very well, and thus I am going to give the Origin Story an A.

Thank you so much for watching this review, I know that some of us do not have a lot of time to play the game, because of work , family or other things. But I hope my destiny in-depth reviews helps you to be as efficient as possible in playing this game so you can get the most out of your playing time.

Destiny 2: Merciless Exotic Fusion Rifle In-Depth Review

Hi Guardians welcome back for more destiny in-depth reviews and tips and tricks to help you be as efficient as possible in playing this game.

Today we are going to review the Merciless Exotic Fusion Rifle. This fusion rifle sits in the high impact but low charge time weapon archetype and the description goes as follows: Entropy is inevitable.

Before we talk about this fusion rifle, how can you get one for yourself! I got mine from Xur when he sold this in his first Xur appearance, but you can also get this from an exotic engram by just playing the game.

On the Merciless we have the following perks

Fitted Stock , which increases the stability at the expense of handling speed

Impetus, reloading immediately after a kill increases weapon damage for a short time

Extended mag, increased mag size at the expense of reload speed

Chambered Compensator , which increases the stability but it also lowers handling speed.

And the exotic perk is Conserve momentum which makes this weapon charge faster until you get a kill with this weapon.

And this exotic perk is a big deal.

Normally the drawback of a high impact fusion rifle is the slow charge time, and this is basically neglected with this exotic perk which will charge the weapon faster until you get a kill with it.

And combine this with the big mag size of 8 , this has the potential of dropping an huge amount of DPS on higher health enemies like yellow bar captains and strike and raid bosses.

This weapon absolutely shreds Public Event bosses and it is also great for the raid up to the final boss. This is especially good against the beasts in the pleasure garden section and against other yellow bar enemies in the other sections of the raid. You can use it for the final boss, but Coldheart seems to do more damage than the Merciless, but it is a perfect replacement if you don't have the Coldheart exotic yet.

So we already mentioned that the exotic perk helps with lowering the charge time, but by how much? Lets find out.

I tested this by comparing the first charge with the charge time of the final shot in the mag.

Here are the results.

The first charge takes 1.2 second until it fires the first shot and the final charge in the mag only takes 0.66 seconds. So the final shot charges 44% faster than your first shot.

As you can see this is a very significant increase in the charge rate, so the final shot can even be comparable to the faster firing fusion rifles.

So now we established how much faster the merciless fires let's find out how to optimize the use of this gun. This exotic fusion rifle in it's base form will already deal a huge amount of DPS, but what a lot of people forget about is.  That this can actually be increased with the other perk that is mostly neglected by others which is the Impetus perk which will increase the damage for a short time after reloading the weapon after a kill.

So if all the stars lines up in the sky, what you actually should do to have the most DPS out of this gun,  is to kill a lower level mob to activate the Impetus perk and then reload the gun and fire this at your higher level target. This will trigger the increase damage output by 50% when you proc the impetus perk. This perk is kinda weird though since the UI does not mention when this perk is active, but you will trigger it by killing an enemy and then reloading the gun.

I have tested this and the impetus perk is only active for around 3 seconds, so mostly you can get around 2 shots that can benefit from this 50 % increased damage output.

So that is the way to use this gun if you want to get the most out of it, but you can also utilize the titan's barrier which auto reloads your gun or use the hunter's ability to do the same which will remove the reload animation and thus increases your Damage per second as well.

So yeah in PVE this gun is just simply amazing, if you get it dropped from an exotic engram don't dismantle it, infuse it, it will be a permanent gun in your weapon arsenal.

As for Pvp the perks do not really benefit you in any way, if you have a good aim your opponent should die in 1 or 2 shots anyway. On top of that the charge rate is very slow , so you are probably better off with a faster firing fusion rifles.

To conclude, the merciless is a weapon that can really be called a power weapon. And as a power weapon it should deal a lot of damage and that is exactly what the merciless is for. You will use the merciless against high health enemies, in nightfalls, strikes and public events.

It will shred through yellow bar enemies in seconds and with a full mag you will significantly reduce the health bar of bosses.

The Merciless is the first exotic in my Destiny 2 reviews that is going to receive the highest rating an A+.

Thank you so much for watching this review, I know that some of us do not have a lot of time to play the game, because of work , family or other things. But I hope my destiny in-depth reviews and tips and tricks helps you to be as efficient as possible in playing this game so you can get the most out of your playing time.

Actium War Rig Exotic Chest In-Depth Review

Welcome Guardians, this is the YouTube Channel for all things Destiny! This channel aims to provide you news, gameplay and tips & tricks for Destiny. Join and Subscribe for more videos!

Actium War Rig

Hi Guardians welcome back, today we are going to review the Titan Exotic chest piece the Actium War rig. I got this piece from completing the titan campaign missions and you can also get this from an exotic engram.

The description of this exotic goes as follows "conflict resolution solution. Leave them to rest wherever they may fall".

The  Actium War rig can increase your resilience and recovery and the main exotic perk is auto-loading link which will steadily increase a portion of your equipped auto rifle's magazine from reserves.

This exotic only works on auto rifles, and it works for auto rifles both in the kinetic or energy slot as long as you have it equipped. So if you have a kinetic auto rifle equipped this exotic  will give you extra ammo but it won't give you extra ammo on your energy auto rifle if you have that one stowed.

So while shooting your auto rifle this exotic will help you add reserve ammo to your current mag. So in theory you don't need to reload, but unfortunately this exotic does not fill up your mag that fast. While playing around in public events with this exotic it does add ammo to your mag but I would not rely on it too much. The extra ammo that you get hardly helps you get any additional kills before your mag runs out again.

So you must be wondering how much extra ammo does this exotic really gives you.

I had the same questions so I tested it out on different kinetic and energy auto rifles with different rpm's.

Here you can see an overview of the different weapons and their rpms and mag size and how many bullets was pulled from your reserves.

This was a pretty straight forward test where I emptied the clip as fast as possible and count how many extra bullets were moved from my reserve to the mag.

I made a couple of observations, firstly the exotic gives you a set amount of bullets per timeframe. I calculated this and you get 5 bullets added to your mag every 1.66 seconds. However with your first shot the exotic does bug out sometimes giving immediately a couple of bullets, but then afterwards it does give that 5 extra bullets every 1.66 seconds.  

And depending on your rounds per minute and mag size of your auto rifle you will get more or less bullets.

The faster your auto rifle fires the less time it has to refund you ammo, and obviously the same goes for when you have a smaller mag size.

You will benefit the most from this exotic when you have a low rate of fire and high mag size auto rifle. The low rate of fire gives the exotic more time to refund ammo and the higher the mag size the longer it takes until this is empty and thus it also helps the exotic with refunding you with more ammo.

But overall you can expect around 40% extra bullets when you are wearing this chest piece for any type of auto rifle , do note that this is tested with auto rifles without any mods that increases the mag size.

So 40% extra bullets that sounds great! But this only translate roughly into 10 to 20 extra bullets and that is kind of underwhelming for an exotic.

In Pve this won't make a huge difference in terms of DPS, and if you were looking to do large amount of DPS you should not be using an auto rifle at all. But instead a power weapon.

Also those 10 to 20 extra bullets won't help you get out of a situation where you are overrun by enemies. You are much better off by using your power weapon, super or grenades to get out of those situations.

And in Pvp it is risky to rely on those extra bullets, the mag size for auto rifles in general is big enough to get two kills and those extra bullets will probably not be enough to get that extra kill, you are far better of to switch to your other weapon whether that is energy or kinetic or just simply RELOAD the weapon.

And that is my biggest concern with this exotic you can simply reload the weapon if you are out of bullets. If you are playing Destiny you must be familiar with playing shooter games so  over the years you have build up your muscle memory which will automatically hit the reload button after any engagement.

I can not imagine any scenario where having extra bullets added to the mag,  will benefit me more than simply hitting the reload button or switching to you other weapon if you are really in a tight situation, not to mention that you also have your abilities and super if that is needed.

And if your reload is too slow for you, you can add a reload mod to increase your reload speed. I would prefer this which can help me consistently with a fast reload that I can rely on every time versus depending on extra bullets that I might or might not get from this exotic.  

So the exotic perk is very underwhelming and not versatile as it is only applicable to auto rifles. And the exotic perk can easily be replaced with a reload mod which will basically do the same job but in a more consistent manner, and also don't forget that titans also have the barricade as well which will automatically reload your gun. so I can not recommend this exotic to anyone, I am going to give this exotic a D.

So before we end this video let's talk about how can we improve this exotic. First of all it would make the exotic much more versatile if it is not only limited to auto rifles, so have it applied to all weapons except for power weapons. There could be balancing issues if this works for power weapons. So make it work for any weapon in both the kinetic and energy slot and on top of that make it so that your stowed weapon can benefit from this perk as well.

For example if I am shooting with my kinetic hand cannon and it is out of ammo I can switch to an energy weapon and continue shooting while my hand cannon is automatically filled with bullets from my reserve as well.

That is my recommendation in improving this exotic, let me know your thoughts in the comments below. So that bungie can use this feedback to rework this exotic for us in the future.

Thank you so much for watching this review, I am still leveling up and I am getting more and more exotics and legendaries which I will review in the future. So subscribe to stay up to date on that.

And while you are here have a look at my recommended or latest video in the end screen.

And as always I will see you in the next video guardians.

Destiny 2: The Mask of the Quiet One Exotic Helmet Review

via IFTTT

Swaye Gaming YouTube Channel

Welcome Guardians, this is the YouTube Channel for all things Destiny! This channel aims to provide you news, gameplay and tips & tricks for Destiny. Join and Subscribe for more videos!

Hi Guardians welcome back. Today we are going to review the Exotic Helmet the Mask of the Quiet one. This is an exotic helmet for the Titan and it is not subclass specific and the description goes ".......". I guess that is why they call it the Mask of the Quiet one.

So the helmet has the option to increase your mobility or recovery and the main exotic perk is the Dreaded Visage which will grant you extra melee, grenade and class ability energy when you are taking damage  and on top of that void ability kills will grant you health regeneration.

While this exotic helmet is not subclass specific , you do want to pair it up with the sentinel to get the most out of this exotic. Health regeneration upon void ability kills is a great perk and you should pair this up with the titan Defensive Strike skill so that you and your nearby allies get an overshield upon a melee kill which will improve your survivability in the game and combined this with turn the tide skill which will make your overshield last longer and it also increases melee damage and reload speed. This together will make it a great combo and it will help take your sentinel to the next level.

With this combination of the sentinel skills and the exotic perk this can replace your recovery points since the Exotic perk will help you start your health regeneration and the defensive strike will also get you an overshield, so you can focus your sentinel build on Resilience and Mobility instead making your Sentinel more powerful than before.

So all in all in theory this sounds like a great exotic, but it all depends on how fast your abilities are charged. So I did some testing

Without the helmet it takes 38 seconds to recharge the barricade, 82 seconds for the grenade and the same for the melee.

While wearing the helmet , for the test, I used my abilities and after that I just stood in front of the enemy taking damage as much as possible. And the results vary a lot:

For the barricade I had numbers between 22 and 26 seconds (42%-32%)

For the grenade this was as low as 31  up to 46 seconds (62%-44%)

And the melee had even a bigger gap from 33 up to 51 seconds (60%-38%)

Do note that these numbers are based on standing in front of the enemy and taking damage, so it does not reflect a real life scenario where you will fight back against the one that is shooting.

So I did some further testing by joining public events and here are the results:

The Barricade took between 26 and 37 seconds (32%-3%)

The grenade regenerated between 45 and 49 seconds  (45%-40%)

And as for the melee this was between 40 and 48 seconds (52%-42%)

It is expected that in real life scenarios that you will most likely not get the low numbers of the previous test while standing in front of the enemy.

But if we put these numbers into perspective you will see that in general this helmet does help out alot with recharging your abilities.

According to my test in real life scenarios you will still at least have a 40% increase in your recharge for your grenade and melee.

The barricade did not yield those high numbers, and that make kinda sense. Since in real life scenario you will probably pop your barricade because you want some cover, as a result you won't get damaged and you will not benefit from the exotic perk.

But all in all 40% increase in your recharge rate is pretty impressive so you will be able to use almost twice as many grenades and melees while wearing this helmet. And you also have the added benefit of health regeneration if you are a sentinel.

So this is definitely a must have armor piece for Pve, this is great for running the nightfall, strikes and public events where you will be facing a lot of enemies.

As for pvp, I prefer perks that makes me more lethal or mobile, and in general in Pvp you don't want to have perks that rely on receiving enemy fire. So personally I will stick with Pve with this helmet But hey if it works for you in Pvp go ahead and use it there.

To conclude this is a great helmet for Pve, and you can use it for your sunbreaker or striker but if you want to get the most out of it , you should be using this with you sentinel and then use the skills Defensive Strike and Turn the Tide which can replace your recovery points and instead focus on resilience and Mobility and you will have a very strong Titan Build that is strong in all areas!

I am going to give The Mask of the Quiet Man an A.

Thank you so much for watching this review, it was really fun to do the recharge rate tests for you all, and I hope this video can help you make a decision on whether to use this helmet or not.
