EDIT: Getting an overwhelming amount of request and slowly getting back to everyone! I hope I have enough time and slots to get everyone in! Sorry for any slow / delayed response I will try and get back to you.

Hey everyone! I have a ton of Vault 1 and 2 keys that I don’t need. I’d love to help anyone out who needs subroutines 1 and 2! I have done all vaults and have all subs. I really don’t need any of the loot in the vaults besides DNA access now.

Key count:

Vault 1: 13
Vault 2: 11
Vault 4: 2
Vault 5: 1

I have enough keys to do 27 potential runs. Ideally rotate out with new people after each run to try and get as many people good loot as possible!

I’ll bring the keys so no need to stress, however if you wanna bring your own I’d love to help as well.

DM me or drop your username below and I’ll start reaching out.

I will be running tonight and Saturday mainly.

I hope we hear more of Jasper. His VA was really good and it'd be nice to see more of his descent into madness.

First time trying an extraction shooter. Late to the season and not much interest in loot, but the contracts give it a rogue-lite feel and I'm completely in love with the game! Co-evolution 5/5 felt satisfying to beat, like a boss level, so tonight I'm gonna queue into some trios with the sole intention of helping them achieve whatever they came for.

Surprised that two of the new rocket drones can spawn at once, anyone else seen this?

You can even see the blood splatter, and he was broken!

There comes a certain point when you have to stop underpainting.

Each part in this underpainting is still separated by material. One layer for the jacket yellows. Another for the dark rims. One more each for the hair, skin, and metallic parts. All of them underneath the linework.

You can still add more paint, but by this stage, everything is already base-defined. You zoom out and the full picture is there. You know where it’s going. The fidelity just isn’t fully there yet.

This is when I merge all the layers into one and begin painting directly over it. Another pass over the face. Correcting proportions. Carving features more clearly. Exploring fine hair lines. Pushing materials and forms further without falling into hyperrealism.

It takes a calm mind to know when the underpainting is done and when the final detailing begins. Especially after staring at the same image for hours or days.

And eventually, another voice comes:
“It is finished.”

Right now, maybe it is finished.
I don’t know yet.
I’m still listening.

Thank you Bungie for increasing XP for the last two weeks ! Was able to gain 10 levels in 2 days

blunt rotation with Recon? sign me the fuck UP (made in Blender)

Featuring:

- Only 2 guns being viable (bully-mizzy)

-Spectre armor being busted af (auto turns off aim assist and activates instantly)

-Recon stacking being near mandatory (2-3 per squad)

-10m + of camping waiting for someone to get bored and make a bad rotation so the whole map can gank them

-BUBBLE SPAM HOLY SHIT

-Nade spam in general is still extremely strong and unfun to fight against or use

-Teams extracting immediately after looting a key room to max points

Rant warning ig

This has got to be one of the worst ranked experiences in any game ever, and I’m not saying that lightly.

Instead of it being a mode where high skill players can battle it out for cool rewards, we get basically a gear check/camping sim where the team that camps the hardest and happens to have gold mizzys+ 5 bubbles+ 10 frags just gets to win for free.

It turns the mode that is supposed to be about how much skill you have in gunplay and map knowledge and turns it into a checklist that you have to meet to have the honor of playing gear roulette.

It genuinely doesn’t make sense why ranked isn’t just teams all loading in with rank associated sponsored kits that come with the chip built in, which would incentivize players to interact with the map in order to get a natural gear advantage while still being on a rather even playing field.

Get a sniper? Now your team has to adjust and play range. Get a wstr or mizzy? Now you might have to play indoors. It would make ranked so much more interesting and thoughtful than this battle Royale style that is happening right now.
