For sure. His Cryptarch level is what worries me, but maybe I'll open a few first to see how it goes.

One more question - what is the minimum level for someone to be eligible to enter the weekly strikes? 26 doesn’t cut it, but may be 27?

You mean Nightfall? You CAN try 26 but you'll be eaten alive.
 
Well a friend is 26 I was willing to carry him, but the game was not so happy about it. His armor is pre-DLC, so there isn’t much sense in wasting the little materials he has to upgrade it, but if that gets him to 27 and he is allowed to enter the weeklies, it will be worth it.

You need 2. Carrying one with one is risky. Especially if the bullets will riddle his body instantaneously.
 
You are right. But say there are three of us. The question is more about the level requirement.
 
You can't enter a strike 4 levels or more below the selected difficulty as you do zero damage. Not sure about if you're with a friend but I would think that would still hold true.

I have one question – I got like 10-12 legendary armor engrams that I was planning to open with my newly created Titan. But now I realize that his Cryptarch level is 0. Should I be worried that I’ll get crap, or I’ll be fine?

There's no point in opening it with the Titan if you want Titan armor. Legendary armor engrams decrypt to a random class. You might as well just decrypt them with whichever character you got them with.
 
@Blitz24 @Terronium-12 Have you guys done the weeklys with your other characters? *wink wink nudge nudge*

I have to do it with my Hunter (both) and Warlock (weekly). Am I seeing a slight suggestion here?
 
Bonio and T12 have joined now but if I'm on when you are tomorrow I can help you.
 
I see. Best of luck.
 
Thanks, I should be on to do the daily tomorrow so if you're on I'll send you a message.
 
Blitz has Black Hammer. I don't like him too much. :p

Let's compare Black Hammer vs. Ice Breaker.

There is almost NO situation where the Black Hammer will be better than Ice Breaker, except when you are fighting an ultra (devil walker, Nexus, Sepiks Prime, Phogoth, Valus, Undying Mind). If it has a critical point and is a sponge for shots, then you want the Black Hammer. Otherwise, you want Ice Breaker.

PS I got Ice Breaker too.
 
I just got a new weapon that's better than The Fourth Horseman!

The "White Nail" perk is what sells it for me. Other than that it's literally a raid variant (with slightly higher stability) of Efrideet's Spear - the Iron Banner sniper rifle and they both hit harder than Ice Breaker.

Ice Breaker will always have its place in my inventory but in terms of impact it's outclassed by both of them.

I mentioned the exact reason though why White Nail isn't as good as you think. If you are not a master shot then it's useless pretty much anywhere other than Majors and Ultras. If you are fighting Shanks/Minotaurs it is next to useless. Sure it gives power but it also doesn't keep it's perk. It is still effected by juggler (Icebreaker literally breaks it apart, as does Bad Juju). In the end it boils down to where you use it, and I see more use for Icebreaker in all avenues than Black Hammer, as it's purely niche.

Absolutely and do I agree, but, while I'm no MLG-level sniper, I can headshot pretty reliably all day long.

That's why White Nail is so enticing to me, and it has Mulligan. :drool:

I now carry both on all 3 characters. My goal is to get 3 331 Icebreakers. The 300 one doesn't help.

On whom? The OG Ice Breaker is good on anything up to 30 (and even past it but you won't be doing maximal damage). The new school IB is good on everything. :lol:

Mulligan only has about a 5% chance of returning the shot. It' not nearly as good as some of the other perks it could have.

In situations against enemies with no weak spot, I wouldn't be using a sniper. The Black Hammer regenerates ammo if you land 3 precision shots in a row, it doesn't pull from a magazine so if you land consistent criticals you have unlimited ammo without having to wait for a shot to recharge. I would still keep both, as the Ice Breaker is a very good sniper rifle, but I would rather use a legendary special to open up the exotic slot for a heavy.

I need to get the new one.
 
I have the Black Hammer, and as mentioned when it come to the bosses, it is a lot better than ice breaker mainly because of white nail.I look forward to the day where I will be using the ice breaker and hunger of Crota for the first part of the strikes, then switch to Black Hammer and the Gjallarhorn, for the boss. But I only have 3 out of4.

As a side note, I got the Vex. Mythoclast last night from a hard VoG raid.

Lucky. I keep getting called to do something else when people want to raid, so I keep losing my raid team.

In an unrelated situation, I got Thunderlord and the Devil You Don't last night.
 
I still don't have gjallarhorn. Anyone want to trade? :(
 
Me neither.....they should allow you to turn in duplicates of certain weapons, like I dont know....the *27 Unfriendly Giants I have or the *128 Genghis I have!

*mild exaggeration, but still.:rolleyes:
 
I still do not have ice breaker or Gjallahorn!

I do have black hammer tho and it is pretty dam good esp where a critical shot is easy. Plus it means I can still rock the vex as that is awesome!

Some of my friends told me that Bad Juju was garbage. Boy are they eating crow now. It's essentially it's own Icebreaker when used in tight spots, with the reloading ammo after kills.
 
I got my fourth icebreaker from this week's Nightfall, its now a Exotic shard. And I also got the Devil You Don't from the Bungie Xmas gift parcel.
