OP what class/subclass do you intend on raiding with? There are many weapons that are fairly accessible and would be beneficial to what you’re playing as.

I do agree with WutsAWriter though. Especially with the nerfs to linear fusion rifles that came with Lightfall. There’s going to be some experimenting with the new raid Friday and going forward in general.

I mean, not really. They’ve nerfed some things a little, and buffed some things a little. There’s some huge gaps in overall damage but most DPS for most heavy weapons is kinda getting closer — at least closer than it used to be.

There’s reliable always-there’s like Gjallarhorn, Sleeper Simulant, and Anarchy (again!!!), but if you’re looking for legendaries to round our load out I’d go for a really good linear (though ironically the best one actually comes from a raid), and if you can find a clown cartridge rocket launcher I’d grab that too. If you’ve got Lightfall the new Heavy Grenade Launcher has Explosive Light in its pool. I’d try to get a little of everything so if you’re joining groups you can feel comfy about it.

Thankfully (imo), there’s not an explicit “you have to have this specific roll of this specific weapon or gtfo” loadout currently. Some still lean a little stronger than others, but it’s not as bad as Breech & Clear days or the Linear meta.

For exotics... Witherhoard, Outbreak, Sleeper, and Divinity.

Build around having an unstoppable or an overload mod during any given encounter

You're not gonna believe this but 6 rat kings absolutely shit on the first boss.

Sleeper and isinagis is a top choice right now.

If you run izinaigs for dps then an auto loading rocket or linear is the best to pair with. Otherwise sleeper and a legendary sniper is easier but a little bit less dps.

As far as warlock, contra verse holds are recalls good considering you are using nova bomb most of the time(well of radiance doesn’t really have a place in this raid)

For add clear you could use funnelweb or any other smg or handcannon.

for weapons it varies so much,but my personal preference is a combo of the 2* crippling and 4* fractures,for non-PA i prefer sawbones for the passive health regeneration,for PA i use aegis when I’m helping teammates,reflective for my carryweight armor,pyros is also good for any weapon that sets enemies on fire

At this point I dont really have a "playstyle" lol. I just go in and swipe and tap and block like a little kid would. I rely on my specials to wipe out the opponent most of the time now so looking for attack boost on regular hits and specials, extra power, something that can save me from dying. Just gonna have to get what I can get as I can get it i just didn't know if there was like 6 pieces for my main 2 champs people would recommend the most is all. I did manage to get the astral bubble thing where once it's evolved it stops you from being kod 1 time at 30% or something and got really lucky with the ras al guls dagger but the rest is all mostly 1 and 2*. My 2nd account is got 1 of the LOA pieces and almost cried lol

Build your set up to complement your playing style. Then when you get matching sets slap them on.

It doesn't really matter, you can adjust the stats when you want.

The episodic ritual weapons (from this season’s episode) are all solid with some really fun perk combinations. As usual, rocket sidearms and area-denial grenade launchers are great special ammo weapons. If you played consistently before you took a break and have weapons you enjoy that have subclass vocab perks (incandescent, slice, destabilizing rounds, etc) then you should be fine. Even though you didn’t ask for exotic recommendations, I HIGHLY recommend you use the exotic Choir of One from Episode: Echoes. It’s the only exotic that you missed that I recommend you use.

Edit: the weapons from the Vespers Host dungeon (especially the heavy and special GLs) are very good

rocket sidearms and area denial frames in general, and then everything that drops from vog is a good start

Anything that has ability synergy loot doesn’t really matter anymore 

All of them. Kind of the entire point of the game.

Last season Banshee was giving away some absolute god rolls as a make good for Weightgate. I can’t remember if they are still available or not but the rocket sidearm from Warlord’s ruin and the GL from Vesper’s host are amazing. You’ll need a clear of both those dungeons but if you can complete the dungeons, do so and grab those guns.

Also not sure when Bungie said the freebies would expire, maybe someone can advise but I’m pretty sure you can still get them!

As soon as i found full crucible armor. I havent taken it off

That first armour arrangement did not need to go that hard. Drip so tough that it alone drops Radahn's health by 50%.

I love the Black Knight Armor because it reminds me of Skyrim’s Ebony Mail plus the Divine Beast Helm lets you cosplay as a Khajiit.

“Warms sands” and all that.

love that helmet with nights cav

+1 for using an actually good-looking shield, instead of the Brass Dorito

What weapon is that?

For best flat armor it's dragonbone. But that's only slightly ahead of godbreaker. It's also easier to get imo.

It depends on if you are focusing on agility or strength. Also what type light, medium, or heavy. Best armor numbers I believe is still godbreaker heavy armor. If you do go into the warmaker's dungeon. Make sure when you fight the champion (lady with a mace) in the big sandy area put your follower or followers on not follow on the side. She can two shot most followers in the game. Followers can fight the other stuff fine.

Hi OP there are lot of good armor pieces depending on how you want to construct your build:

• Rangers armor is good for a lot of different builds: Full Agility, Encumbrance, Authority, anything where your primary weapon will be a Katana, Knives, Claws, or Spear (always check the weapon type to match your armor).

• Strength builds are a bit different - for starters you’ll generally want your stats 20-20-20 (STR-AGL-VIT). Popular pieces include (but by no means an exhaustive list): Voidforge Dragon Ribs, Leggings of Kurak, Champions Boot, Silent Legion Helmet, perfected Heavy Gauntlets, Perfected Heavy Tasset, Spiderclimb Boots, Godbreaker Grips

• The general theme is that pieces either maximize your strength DPS or give you more stamina - heavy armor requires more stamina to increase your maneuverability in combat. The Champion’s pieces each give you additional benefits such as immunity to bleed, poison, corruption, etc. Another category that’s become more popular recently is concussive damage because it can clear the enemies stamina pool (mainly a PvP trick).

Of course regardless of your build you also want to make sure you always have both salted pork/exisite meat and a strength/agility potion.

For weapons you always want master weapon fittings, for armor you either want modded with bulk plating or weapon reduction kits.

Ok so people telling you if you're focusing on damage stuff, but here's the real deal for this game;

The strongest defensive armours are;

Champions armour number one. Removes; corruption, bleed, cripples, poisons as well as the affixes on the gear pieces themselves. Also has the max weather res you can get for gear, 40/40 hot/cold, when the max is 50/50 in the game. You can go anywhere without needing foods etc. Has the highest armour value. made with a shieldwright + armour attachments, can reach 78% DR pretty easily, 1700+ armour.

Godbreaker, has some extra abilities too, but not nearly as good as Champions with how the game has changed, and only protects against one or the other hot/cold.

Or the budget version; Redeemed Silent Legion heavy.

All the damage etc. affixes tbh aren't really needed. I can play with no points in strength or agility, and kill shit just fine in these gears. The game is not needing damage min/maxing, but things can hit incredibly hard and stuff, and these gears letting you just facetank shit easily make it all pretty trivial.

I would only focus on 'damage' if you're playing PvP.

Otherwise, any of the three sets above, especially Champions just makes you godmode PvE.

For thralls; the best overall gear imo is the 'Perfected Exile Epic Heavy' set, as it boosts both agility/strenght, so suits any thrall, they make use of both stats, and it's cheap to make, and has a higher armour value than everything else except the above three, but the above three aren't as needed for thralls, they don't take weather effects and things like that, not really necessary for them, and grinding armour scraps for Champions for them all would be one hell of a grind to try and do.

any craftable weapon with double perks

Tinashas mastery with chill clip from Iron Banana, properly used it can stun all the champs and leave your exotic weapon slot open for something fun!

Oh boy, the list is long as long you have the patience to work for it

Non-Exotic Raid Weapon: Timelost Vault of Glass weapons (and craftable non-Timelost), Craftable Garden of Salvation weapons, and Deep Stone Crypt Weapons

Exotic Raid: Conditional Finality (Root of Nightmare)

Dungeon: Warlord Ruin: Indebted Kindness, Buried Bloodline (Exotic) Vesper Host: VS Velocity Baton, VS Gravitic Arrest and VS Chill Inhibitor, and Icebreaker (Exotic)

Vanguard: wait for this season’s return of the Palindrome, and the new VOID rocket sidearms, the Lotus Eater

gilded unbroken x6(iirc thats max number)

day 1 raid emblems

flawless raid shaders

outside the game, flawless 3 man raids tags on raid.report

The Heavy as Death emblem from Iron Banner a while back for 2500 kills under the Iron Burden is pretty solid in my opinion.

Rivensbane, I guess. Petra's Run is still a pain, I believe. Haven't run it in a long time.

I like having the platinum starling ship, but that’s about it

You can buy the sparrow for spoils, doesn't mean much.
