High value salt mines.
Lets face it guys . In order to come anywhere close you need that damn high value target and if you're like me you're probably really fn tired of trying. It is purely rng on when it pops up and no super is going to kill it. That's merely rng as well. So everyone enjoy completing this -blam!- with 5 minutes to go just isnt enough for bungie.

If anyone wants that are on playstation. I can do a stream share and show you some strats to completing solo salt.just have to set up a time .

2 AntwortenKilled the hvt 2x today. First time late this morning, forgot to add pressure cooker. Added pressure cooker and killed it again but still 12k short of 1%.clanmate said the time needs to be around 4:30. Fastest I've done it is 5:25. It's garbage. I know why players complain bungie doesn't respect our time. I had 150 pts Mon now have 80. I don't want a participation trophy but completing an activity with highest difficulty, completing side objectives, then kill the hvt I've only seen 3x since arms week began should count for something. No not fast enough. Garbage. Hot steaming pile of poorly thought out crap.

21 clears today and still no high value target.

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von Auronio: 11/16/2025 9:21:21 AMIn about 20 runs I faced it once. But for me no big difference, with or without I can't get above the top 30 threshold.

It’s mandatory in my experience, I only got to 1% with the high value spawn.
-
Ive been running it since the event started and have only seen the hvt once. Ive already given up on this event.
-
I've done that salt mine at least 20x, only seen the high value target once...

3 AntwortenI been farming this since 10 pm yesterday I only seen him one time but I didn’t know you had to kill him😃

5 AntwortenBearbeitet von Killapete232: 11/16/2025 3:54:43 PMHonestly Bungie should have made it a threshold rather an ever increasing score. This literally makes players just wait till last minute to bother going for score. At which point if you thought you were done, you thought wrong. Bronze, silver, gold, and diamond ratings should have a set score, if you have met the score threshold you should be safe and not need to go beyond that. This is the biggest issue with the event overall. Also there are drones you can shoot as well, this should be the same score bonus if completed as the HVT, giving players more than just 1 way to meet that goal. I ran it killing every drone and had 5m left, this did absolutely nothing to affect the score which it honestly should since it's a bonus side objective similar to killing an HVT.

I was able to kill the anointed taken knight and I scored 3.301.124 but unfortunately it’s not enough the main score is 3.393.621. Basically you need a solar titan or warlock with a 550 sword combined with your super and good timing.

1 AntwortenI’m trying to get top 10% and can’t do it. I’m on ultimate, put on modifiers etc and I can only get 2.1 million. My power level is 521. Same issue with proving grounds. Only get 2.2 million. I got top 10% for crucible. Just need one more top 10 and I’ll have the points for the helmet. Oh well I guess
-
4 AntwortenJeez finally I just got top 10%. Used bonk titan, all bows, no revives etc. Completed the side challenge of 10 precision kills AND the high value target finally appeared and I killed it. It gave me 3.1 million and top 10% which is enough to get that dang helmet ornament. My power level is around 522 so I guess to get top 1% you need to be 550 or near it. I did everything you could do and barely got top 10%

3 AntwortenBearbeitet von Fett: 11/16/2025 4:35:02 AMIt's such a ridiculous oversight. I've lost count of how many times I've ran it and it's never popped up for me. I'm 550 and run salt mines with literally the highest negative modifiers multiplyer that the game allows, finish with 6 minutes left and STILL can't get top 1% because of that stupid HVT. That is the most annoying crap ever
-
2 AntwortenFor this event they should make it always spawn. It’s stupid that you need the right HVT, to fly through the thing, and the right challenge. And this is all coming from someone currently sitting in that 1%… idk for how long though…
-
I just did another long boring a** run of The Salt Mines and am still stuck on 70 points. These guys have lost their damn minds. Player population has plummeted and they roll this out? LIke I'm going to sit here and grind for days to get that helmet? No thanks =D

3 AntwortenI've been farming for 8 hrs and haven't seen him once... Yesterday it was like every other run. Smh
-
1 AntwortenWhile he's not there all the time I still feel like he's not that uncommon - perhaps two out of five times. Anyone know if the bonus missions differ in value btw? Like, are X ability kills worth as much as kill X enemies? I just got back into the top 1 % but I feel like it wont last long so I need to maximize everything.

I rather grind another character to level 60 (+15) in Dead Frontier 2

2 AntwortenI just want to know where all these 1 % players are when I'm trying to use MM. I keep getting the tail end of the 99 %.

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von Monkey: 11/16/2025 2:38:28 PMJust when you thought that Bungie couldnt fail even more when it comes to these events, they add this stupid rng Vanguard mini-boss that rarely spawns, and the only way to get 1% Haven't seen a more out-of-touch gaming studio like them
-
3 AntwortenThats exactly what Bungie aimed for and got. Make the goalpost movable so players have to keep replaying the same damn mission ad infinitum to get the 1% score. Very clever way of boosting player numbers without providing any new content other than a skin and emblem. And people fell for it.

9 AntwortenI dont mind the rng on it appearing but the tiny amount of time you get to kill it is ridiculous. I killed it on the 3rd time it spawned but it took a lot of killed runs in between. Really dumb.

I don’t know how many times I tried on two accounts to get the most wanted to spawn and got it once on a bad run. A guy on Reddit said 57 times and still not spawning for him. Most of us know where it spawns and that you have to delete it quickly some people still don’t know it spawns on the bottom of the rock room right before crate hallway, and last anchor. Full throttle heavyweight with sword is what I used the one time I found it. When grinding to 550 when salt mine was the first solo op that gave you an extra gear drop option it would spawn around 8-10 runs pretty consistently, but now it doesn’t seem to exist. Somebody posted that if you don’t have side objective finished when you get there it helps it spawn but I haven’t tried that yet.

Yea you need heavy burst damage to beat it. I use song of flame to let my weapons bypass his shield.

4 AntwortenDestiny needs to understand that this score is unreachable. As a professional solo with all top modifiers and even killing the vanguard within having still 5mins on the timer, only gets the high score of 3mil. Somehow the top 1 is passed that? Either cheaters broke the score or that they are allowing the score to randomly become an unreachable score. To me anyone that gets top 1 90% of them are pretty much cheating the score. THATS really happening here.

2 Antworten3.35 mil yesterday… now it’s 3.4 just to make the top 1%. I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do to boost my score. Everything is boosted as much as possible I do every objective possible (including hvt and drones) and 6 minutes left on the clock. It’s just stupid
