Jolly Holiday First Quest Step

Make the Jolly Holiday Quest Easier

46

Don't change the Jolly Holiday Quest

67

OK, so I recently (as in two days ago from now) posted about The Last Word drop rate. I finally obtained one from a Shax Bounty. As you can imagine, I've been trying to complete the 100% kills portion of the Jolly Holiday quest. If I were to describe the quest they way I see it, this post would probably be removed. Before the April update, The Last Word was a 2 shot head shot and a 3 shot body shot. Now its a 3 shot head shot and a 4 shot body shot. The gun is obviously ment for dominating single targets at close to close-medium ranges. How am I supposed to then go on 5 and 10 kill streaks with a gun ment for single targets? I am always encountering some sort of rage inducing problems like fusion grenades, trip mines, supers, shotguns, kill stealing, getting killed by another guy on the other side of the map, ect. I seriously don't understand the logic of nerfing the gun, and I agree it needed it, but not making the quest-line designed for it easier. Since Bungie probably won't really change the questline, I'm looking for some tips since the youtube videos I've seen on this were based on the older Last Word stats. Any advice would be nice. Also, I just figured I'd add a poll to see if maybe Bungie will do something about this Edit #1: Forgot to mention I have all 3 characters but I perform much better on my warlock so warlock related tips and tricks would be much appreciated, although if its much easier on other characters feel free to mention that.

  • Tlw is still dominate. Option 1: git gud Option 2: boost in classic ffa Option 3: only equip tlw when you have heavy, super, or you're just generally feeling like your shot is crispy. [spoiler]Work smart, not hard.[/spoiler]

  • I posted this a few days ago, here it is again. I am also terrible at pvp. I did the Last Word part about a week ago after sitting on this quest for months thinking I would never complete it, especially after the nerf in the last update. Turns out I was able to complete this part in about 24 hrs of dedicated pvp play. Here's how I did it: 1. I NEVER equipped the Last Word during the match at all until the very end. Only if it was certain that we were going to win, when Shaxx would say "one final push to victory," only then would I equip it. 2. Once equipped, I would activate my super (storm trance) in the final moments and try to get a kill spree with Last Word equipped. In this way, I would get at least 3% for the win and often up to 7% with the super kills and the win. Because I lost as many matches as I won, I could only use this method 50% of the time, but it was a guaranteed positive net method. Others have also equipped Last Word in the middle of the match during heavy round or whenever their supers presented, which could further accelerate the process, but I didn't do that. You can do it. Good luck!

    OK well I've got another problem now. I'm noticing after I use my stormtrance and get any amount of kills (With TLW equiped) im not gaining any percentage, is this the game not updating or something with storm trance? Edit #1: NVM this was simply lag, its working fine now.

    There were about half a dozen threads on this topic last weekend alone. Plenty of different ways to cheese the quest. Most important one being you don't have to use TLW for your kills. Getting kill streaks is the only way to get it done. You can go positive on kd while still going backwards in points for that quest. Save your super, equip TLW when heavy ammo drops, get 3-5 kills (or more) then put it away. Rinse and repeat. The bigger the streak the more your score multiplies. And also, equip it right before you know you're going to win a match. Wins give you a couple of points.

    • Just equip it and get kills with super, secondary and heavy weapons and use fire bolt grenades then when their about to die just shoot them. Mayhem is not a good idea wait for inferno crucible cause no mini map

    • You just need it equipped. You don't need to get kills with it. I got it done in mayhem by equipping it when I have my super /heavy and unequip the rest of the game
