Gotta be a better way to actually earn Ikelos weapons
So I’ve been waiting for Operation: Seraph’s shield to return to try to farm the SMG.
It’s all I’ve been doing all week long. I’ve probably completed it close to 30 times, if not more. I’ve perfect the mission as fast as possible and we’re still looking at a 30 minute mission. I’ve had the MSG drop only 2 times.
Look, I’m not mad. I know what I signed up for. I don’t have to play this mission. It’s a choice and I fully acknowledge that. That said, the Ikelos weapons are considered some of the best still and with this being the only way to actually get them, it’s a bit ridiculous.
It’s a bit ridiculous that after 30 runs and spending all my D2 time playing this for a week straight, I’m still not even close to having enough to craft it. Once this mission is gone, I’m screwed for 6-8 weeks or so. This game is reaching the end of an era. It’s time we start opening up these weapons to actually be earned again because this current system IS NOT IT.
Once again, I fully FULLY acknowledge and accept that I have chosen to waste my time repeating this mission over and over. This is just feedback and I’m not really angry. I’m annoyed and it’s lame, but it’s my choice and I’m not angry. I hope others agree that this system is wack

1 ReplyBanshee sells them still I think

1 ReplyMaybe Xur will sell it at some point (don’t know if banshee might aswell). But until then good luck hunting.

Should just be purchasable at a vendor

13 RepliesYes, the two weapons are currently in demand. Sniper due to artifact mods, shotgun one with grace robber and 1-2 punch, SMG has alternative in Subjunctive, HC ditto in Optative and word of Crota. FOMO is always in the game even though you still can reacquire it, much longer to do so. Good luck.

10 RepliesIt would be nice to see them add a vender where you could purchase one red border a week from dungeons with these older weapons. Hawthorne does this with raid weapons if you do a clear that week. I agree that farming this mission sux. I ran it this past week solo for the first time and it's just long and tedious. Got the shotgun. Ran it again and got the smg. Since I didn't play during lightfall year, I have a ton of weapons I missed out on. Now I only to focus on a few of them and I haven't even touched onslaught yet. Catching up three guardians with lightfall and the final shape has been time consuming.

1 ReplyThe collection tabs are a complete waste for years you’ve there could of been a way to buy a random roll of any non craftable weapons right there in front of us yet bungie didn’t do it you can buy crappy roll old weapons that don’t matter today but non that have random perks which is dumb. Fix = letting us buy and try for random Rolled weapons / Red border weapons from our collections once obtained. I mean red border seasonal ones are easy as to come By now they dish them Out like candy Tip watch banshee 44 also sells ikelos weapons at times and deep sights work a treat. Which bungie should let us buy those or earn them We don’t get enough on the season pass its dismal Deep sights should be earnable or purchasable
-
Always puzzled me. Simple answer would be to list all unlocked weapons/armour and allow you to select which one to roll for perks.

3 RepliesHard agree. They should drop weapons at each encounters completion. This is sht is a dungeon lol!
