The bad juju grind is God awful on its own but I get why Bungie did it the way they did it, for stupid streamers who don't use planetary mats and have a million of em.
However, after spending a week grinding for stuff, I learned I could've actually have gotten it day 1 with no issues with a cheese.
I am unabashedly, unashamedly saying that I would've taken that cheese all day.
I did a nightfall with full leviathan gear (armor anyway), and got 5%. That means 20 nightfalls for one tribute.
3% per strike, and the same for the others.
That is hundreds of events that I have to grind for a single damn gun.
I can pay for it with glimmer, except you need 20 days of completing 4 dailies (without dying) before you can even hope to afford it unless you've played 5000 hours in the game and have thousands of mats laying around.
If I had known I could get what is ultimately a fun but middle of the road exotic on day one with a little bit of patience, I would have, because the alternative (for non sweaties who don't play this game like a job) is weeks of grinding the same activities we've mostly had since day 1.
Not only that, but these are events we've been grinding for years, especially if you've been here since D1.
I've already done Leviathan raids (Leviathan and EOW) dozens of times with leviathan raid gear equipped. I've already done a metric ton of strikes and nightfalls. I've (unfortunately) been forced into this game's poisonous PvP hundreds of times for quests and daily/weekly engrams, suffering through while bad sports super you to death after the match is over and IT STILL SOMEHOW COUNTS TOWARD YOUR K/D. Full clans vs randoms, Luna Howl, all the horseshit this game had thrown at me and I've marched through hoping the good times will come eventually.
You know what sucks? Trying to bank 20 motes without dying while playing with a fire team full of people who also need to bank 20 motes without dying.
All while wearing or otherwise owning gear I've had since late 2017, early 2018.
And now I'm being asked to do it again for an unreasonable amount of time for a single damn gun (without the catalyst, which requires nearly 3 times as many tributes) while some people get to skip it because they found an easier and better way to do it?
Keep in mind we're doing all this for a gun many of us already freaking had in D1 and this grind is taking place 20 days during the summer. I'm 32 so that doesn't matter much to me, but I feel for the teenagers who get to waste their summer vacation on this nonsense.
I would've done the cheese if I'd known about it without blinking. "Real gamer blah blah" nonsense be damned. I'm not doing anything I haven't done before and I've no shit done everything Bungie wants me to do to get this gun already.
Soemtimes, I really hate this stupid game.
*edit*
You can tell in the comment section who plays this game for fun and who plays this game waaaaaay too often. Getting bad juju in 4 hours or a couple days tops? Ugh, the top 1%-ers are really annoying on this topic. We don't all have 100s of mats and max glimmer, nor have we all been grinding managerie like rabid hounds ya jerks!
*Final edit*
Omg the try hards have such a boner for words like "hard" and "fear". The quest not difficult and it's not fear of missing out. It's boring and irritating to earn tributes for crap you've already done before. How people keep getting irritation mixed up with difficulty is beyond me because those words don't even remotely mean the same thing. Literacy rates among some of you are surprisingly low. Also, if you have thousands of shards just sitting around, you are part of the 1%, you are not casual and you are not normal. Stop pretending like you are.

Lols, always blaming streamers. One season they added a bit more grind this forums can't stop crying.

The thing is is that the Tribute Hall isn’t going away, there’s no rush to finish it in the first week. That said you can “buy” the Bad Juju buy purchasing the tributes and that only costs 700 shards in total you just might need to wait a week before Spider sells it all. 700 shards isn’t a huge deal as that piles up quite quickly if you play the game. The Catalyst isn’t a must have, it only increases the perk by 1 second. It’s good but Bad Juju will be fine without it.
-
You still need 50k in the nf for that triumph. 50k each time 🤦♂️
-
Wish it was possible to get all the holograms by cheesing it. That and the enote is all i care about. Not the juju not the catalyst. But circumstances have changed and the way i am makes it too hard. But to be honest. I would gladly buy couple of the triumphs namely the zavala and mara sov as wont be able to do it
-
As much as I like playing this game, as much as I grind for different things in this game and as much as this game can be fun to grind through this grind is total bullshit. If I knew about the cheese I'd have done it. But oh well 39 tributes in and I don't really mind it anymore
-
i only handed in a few tokens to make things cheaper you only really need to grind out the 18 quest step ones then get a few from the calus statue and boom bad juju doesnt take a lot at all
-
I no life this game when I get chances too- I STILL WOULD HAVE done the cheese.
-
I would have too.
-
At least you've learned a lesson. From now on start regularly checking Destiny cheese guides. Lifes too short....
-
I got bad ju ju legit about an hour and a half after starting re-set day but i agree with you one hundred percent. The real pain here is bungie eating our bright dust because they do not want us to be able to get ever verse stuff in the fall without giving them even more cash. More under handed abuse to further artificially inflate play time down the road. There is no reward here for die hard grinders but rather punishment in order to exploit loyal players down the road.
-
honestly i think this wouldnt have been that bad year one but after running the same strikes hundreds of times and not having a new one in almost a year, just this one triumph alone is ridiculous. all the content they add in these triumphs are played out
-
The percentage amounts on triumphs are just stupidly slow. Who wants to run 20 leviathan? A lot of them are this way . Should have been one raid with full gear and be done with it.
-
Yeah man, took me an hour of just going back and forth to orbit, and that's on console. PC probably would've been quicker.
-
I'm at 25 and I'm as casual as a Sunday sweater. I don't even know why, I haven't even unlocked the weapon yet. It'll come when it comes.
-
I don’t believe the nightfall one, I was getting 15% in last wish, I’ve only done the nightfall four times, and I’m at 93%.
-
Well if somebody enjoy getting things without any sorts of efforts thats their problem. Im proud of getting bad juju day one and the 50 tributes day 2. If some feel like they accomplished something doing the glitch..yeah cool whatever. It was cool going in every mode and also clearing my vault and use my good old farming route for alkane dust. We deserved our gun with our clan and we had a nice time discovering the mission and the different tribute statues and ennemies. People can litteraly get anything they want even if they have to po.op on their consoles to get a gun, its not my concern. Im still rich in game anyways XD .
-
I honestly hope bungie revokes bad juju from any exploiters who used it
-
Fair comments
-
Agreed, the grind for the weapon and catalyst was excessive. Is this the price we'll for Bungie heading down the mmo road? If it is, I can see more of the player base leaving.
-
I did the cheese for about an hour and got up to 32 tributes before i had to leave for work and honestly i wish i would have called in late and just grinded out the 40,45,50 it was boring as hell but i was used to the grind from buying simulation seeds and taking them to mercury to farm cores. But i started it too close to work time. They definitely wanted people to have to grind hours and hours to get a gun that nobody will really use but they know Destiny is a game of collectors and looters for crying out loud who remembers the loot cave WE CRAVE LOOT
-
All this grind, for a weapon that'll eventually be nerfed down the line anyway

I just deleted the bounty! (Same with the Menagerie & Forge versions and folk being afk!)

Don't hate, congratulate. Its simply not that hard of a quest. The only problem you might encounter is that you will have to spend more than you want to if you really want the gun. So you're actually in the same boat as everyone else.

Preach!!!!

Imho the 18 tributes stuff was not that bad. Yes I had thousands of legendary shards, but I just came back after skipping season of the drifter... so I didn't really play THAT much. Now for the catalyst and for players who are having a tough time even getting to the weapon in the first place... it can be extremely frustrating to see people glitch their way to it. I myself refuse to buy my way further into the catalyst because I won't be able to get it without grinding my socks of for triumphs, which was completely fine if everyone had to do this. So if Bungie doesn't resolve the glitch issue, why should I have to spend my bright dust that becomes extra valuable in September lmao!? To see others snipe those nice finishing moves and emotes and ships from the store because they glitched their way to an exotic (That should be FREE content for all... however you turn it around, bright dust is and will be a premium currency) and I'm sitting there with too little bright dust to even grab me a ghost projection? I'll rather keep the weapon as it is now, my bright dust is mine xD
