Bounties at Saint 14 that allow players to farm weapon types simply by getting kills as a team using that weapon type in trials. These are repeatable bounties. The bounties offer either a random weapon from that specific archer type or a specific weapon that can only be acquired if the player has already received one through wins or random drop. This bounty concept could also apply to crucible and vanguard bounties for specific weapons and armor.

Two pieces of advice. 1) Don’t play it if you are on PC. Just don’t. Cheaters [i]will[/i] ruin multiple runs before you ever get the chance to even attempt Flawless. 2) If you’re on console, bear in mind that it will be the sweatiest pile of dogshit that Bungie has evermade. Players [i]will[/i] 3-peak constantly, camp at the back with snipers, use any and all forms of Stasis, etc. It’s tolerable on console, but it won’t be fun, I can promise you that much. Basically - on console, maybe give it a shot, but stay clear on PC.

It’s bad, and I’d even say that’s a bit of an understatement. If you want the new stuff, I’d recommend going in ASAP next season, as the population should be higher than it has been in a while. The more weeks you wait, the harder the early games on the card will be.

I’d only play it if you’re interested in slow, boring and monotonous things.

I’d rather do my exams than play trials in its current state.

If you can jump in with a clan or a group of competent friends who don't get tilted and toxic easily, it can be fun. If you're trying to jump in with randoms or blueberries, forget it.

Get in early. Because as the season goes on it’ll get crazier and crazier with cheaters.

Give it a go next season
