Just quick fire tidbits of information that may or may not be helpful. Feel free to add your own as well! ~skeleton keys might be bugged. Heroics are supposed to drop them more often. But of everyone i've talked to the normal siva crisis playlist sees more drops. So either the drop rate is better there and heroics/nightfalls need to be brought up. Or the drop rate is bugged for the other 2. ~Horde chests seem to have a higher drop rate for artifacts if your artifact is your lowest gear item. ~min max your skeleton keys/packages. Run winters run for a special weapon. Malok for helmet. Armor faction packages for chest piece, legs, and ghost, abomination heist for gloves/special, twin brothers for primary/gloves, and saber 2 for heavy/helmet. ~Always decode exotics one at a time. if you get a higher light infuse it and then decode your next. ~Sleeper simulant does out damage ghorn even in ghorn's perfect situation. However both do well enough damage in the raid. So the choice is preference. ~There is a hidden mechanic in Aksis part 2. the sacrificial pads for the servitors can be used to give your fireteam full supers. However you have to sack your empowered status as a player to do so. And it has to be done before someone slams him. It's 100% not needed. ~Silimars artifact not only reduces thorn DoT but it reduces the DoT on the incendiary nade, sunbreaker melee, warlock scorch melee, incendiary knife dot, any sunsinger nade that's augmented by touch of flame, the solar nade itself, vortex nade, and void wall nade. At 7 armor with this artifact on you can survive a wombo combo. ~skorri doubles your super recharge rate. A tier 5 storm caller with 2 allies near by being buffed by skorri and electrostatic mind will get their super in 1:30. ~You can use suncharge on an ally carrying a zamboni part when they jump to momentum shove them a good distance. ~Aksis enraged doesn't do anything different. Either because this is normal mode or because it's bugged. ~Bosses shake off tether faster if you direct hit them compared to if you shoot the ground and tether them. Tether's also stick around longer if you continually poor damage into them. This has deminishing returns however. Meaning you can't tether the same target forever. However if new targets keep entering it it will stay longer. ~tether, viking funeral, and weapons of light all work together. Tether and melting point do NOT work together. If you want proof try it yourself or go to the update that changed VF's effect. It also states how it behaves. ~fusion grenades proc viking funeral twice. once on the inital stick. Once from the explosion. ~you can boost the damage on the cannons in the raid twice with weapons. Grab weapons. fire your shot. hold the charge. refresh WoL let it explode. ~shade step does not cancel tracking on the red orbs of death that come from killing splicers. ~still piercer can still super snipe (with 2 exceptions) if you run the right barrel on it. ~you can get the siva grids (things needed for second to last part for outbreak prime) from the same boss over and over. You don't need to do the whole raid. The bosses that drop these are: vosiks part 2. zamboni. And aksis part 2. ~you get more crit damage during the stun phase by shooting Aksis's head instead of his body. But you can shoot the red glowing exposed part before a slam to do insane damage.
