Alright. I'll be closing this thread now due to toxicity. This conversation has played out more than a handful of times across different threads and different sub forums and always ends in the same toxic mess.

@OP, I appreciate your original intent to discuss the balance of the EB, but this thread has now gotten caught in the usual discussion loop and has become far too flame-war-y.

Thank you for the answers and clarifications, everyone.

Is there a way to view these forums in a dark theme? I prefer not having white backgrounds.. it just hurts my eyes..

I know the feeling. I don't believe there is any setting for a Dark Mode... if there was believe me I'd share it.

This is the counterpoint I see on a lot of similar build threads. For those that r... Read more

Yes. There is a major title update coming in 2 days that had, during its PTS, some tweaks for PvP.

Can you please be more specific about issues you think are being unaddressed within PvP?

To be clear, discussions about loot, RNG and various build elements are helpful and can provide valuable feedback for us... but these kind of weird build measuring contests don't really add anything other than a catalyst for discourse to turn toxic, as we're starting to see crop up in this thread already.

Please keep in clean or I will be closing this thread down. Thank you.

I appreciate the detailed advice here, everyone. It's always interesting to see what each group thinks are baseline requirements for the Raid.

I think it will be more interesting to see how that window shifts after TU5 as well...

This FAQ should provide the various links you may be looking for all in one place. As YodaMan said, if you have additional questions or concerns you'd like to raise privately, please feel free to send me a PM.

Head to the Specializations Officer and they should have a series of side-objectives available for you to unlock the Gunner.
Owning the Year One Pass circumvents the need for these side-objectives, and they will grant cosmetics instead.

You can have a decent set in “no time”, one that can do most the game throws at you, which is quite good for the game. But from there you’ll have to work for it.

Youtubers and alike are throwing A LOT of hours into it, hence most of the builds they show off are way out of our reach, hence that kind of people doesn’t do the community any good.. that’s my opinion at least

Well keep in mind there are some players on here who hav... Read more

I'm confident. Vast majority of my experiences with Calling (or being Called) for Backup lead to at least a "Thank you!" I'd like to think this is a little extra gusto for those who already express appreciation. I know I'll use it for sure, at least.

PS I not complaining here...its just part of the game...but man...some people are bad!!

Now don't get me wrong, I feel for you. Looking at the OG DZ video Merphee shared... besides the rude usage of the turrets, this is a textbook Agent-gone-Rogue story.

In a way I love it. In another way, it hurts.
My best advice is simply this: Remember their name. Hunt them in the DZ. Exact vengeance.

As well as consistent GS 500 gear and a veritable buffet of Black Tusk enemies.

If you could PM me a link to that video, I would actually really appreciate it.

For clarification, you're finding Gear Mods drop on the ground, attempting to pick them up, ostensibly picking them up (they disappear as if you did) and upon looking in your inventory, poof-gone?

YodaMan, you mentioned this happened to you as well with the same types of mods?

Edit: Thank you for reminding me about this, elkyri, what platforms are you each on?

I'll be sure to make a note of this along with the additional details you share.

I'm not sure what yo mean.

The Discovery version/difficulty of the Raid will have Matchmaking available but will not drop Raid gear (EB/Spec.Sets).
Are you referring to something else about Discovery mode more specifically?

xcel and DarkKnight got to it first, but yes - they are both correct.

Bold of you to lead into this story without a conclusion.

That number of Deltas is wild. Just a few preliminary questions...

• Safe to assume these errors started 3 days ago and weren't much of an issue beforehand?
• Where are you/What are you doing when you get hit by these Deltas?
• About how much time does it take for a Delta to hit? (Also is it uniform or random?)
• Have you recently reinstalled the game onto your console?

Unfortunately there's no dial on my desk to influence drops of a specific slot. This is just RNG being RNG.
