VOG: -1. Spirit Bloom Chest does NOT effect gorgon chest exotic drop chance. It's a Myth. -2. There is a door that opens behind templar after you defeat him. That path is a straight drop to the gorgon area. It is a Quicker route to the Exotic Chest. -3. Fusion Rifles kill Oracles fast, And do 10,000 or more damage per shot during times vengence against Atheon, When all 5 bursts connect. Faster the charge rate, the more shots you can get in. 100,000 or more damage per teleport is possible. Example: Plug-One. -4. Last Word does 3000 or more damage per shot against Atheon, when shooting without iron sight, and with proper perks. 8x3000=24000x2=48000 damage, If relic is at middle platform. You can empty atleast two clips into Atheon before teleporting. 3 or 4 clips is possible, 96,000 damage. Best Primary Exotic For Atheon, and against oracles. -5. There is a spot next to the right conflux, where you can defend Middle, Left, And Right Conflux all at once. Hint: Its on the left side next to the stairs after you reach the top step. That Gap is an extremely valuable position during Conflux. If undermanned make sure you have one man on that position. -6. The Left Conflux area, has three spots where Hobgoblins can't hit you or shoot you. Useful positions during oracles. Hint: 1.Stairs by Conflux, 2.Right Side Of Pillar That is Infront of Conflux, make sure to crouch between the middle area of pillar and wall, And 3.Behind Tall Tower on the left hand-side of Confluence. -7. Easy Templar Fight, One Man runs relic, and everyone shoots from ledge. The Relic holder can easily kill both oracles that spawn, so don't get in his way, or waste time on the left side tactic. Just stay on the ledge and shoot Templar. If not on ledge wipe. If you are going for flawless, or think the ledge is a cheese, go to the middle and stay at the bottom right where relic spawns and only go out shoot when templar's shields are down. The left side tactic, is possible to do, but the relic holder will lose out on kills to get his super, making the fight longer. -8. Heavy Machine Guns will be your crowd control during confluences, oracles, and possibly gatekeeper. DO NOT Underestimate Their Power. -9. During Gatekeeper have gjallahorn or mvp guy run right side teleport by himself, it's the easiest and quickest tactic. Use SHOTGUNS, or fusion rifles for the minotaurs that spawn to rush the portals. Heavy will work as well. -10. Super Good Advice can shoot almost infinite bullets at Oracles. If all else fails, Use the SGA. These are mainly hard mode tips, but serve well on normal WARNING: During Atheon, If you get teleported, and you and the other guardian with oracle duty are using a sniper secondary, and a scout rifle, auto rifle, pulse rifle, or a handcannon not named The Last Word or Hawkmoon as a primary. Your DPS will not be enough to clear the oracles. Use your Heavy, Or call for help. Oracle Disrupter Guns will do more harm than good during this area on hard, but that's just my opinion on vog weapons. Author Note: I can't tell you how many times, my fusion rifle has had to do the bulk of the dps during the Atheon teleport. Please Use a shotgun, heavy machine gun, fusion rifle, Hawkmoon, The Last Word, or a weapon with a fast rate of fire and impact please. Otherwise Wipes will continue. After Note: Let me point out to those that claim use Vision Of Confluence, Tell me how are the rookies supposed to get one? RNG sure as hell won't hand them one. Secondly Vision Of Confluence doesn't not out DPS a Fusion Rifle, and fusion rifles are widely available. They get the job done. Finally To those claiming I'm noob, please go look at my hunter. I hardly ever use my titan.
