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.

Изменено (CosmoGecko): 7/14/2019 3:44:48 AMI agree. After having played this game for countless hours in the past couple years, walking into a completely empty tribute hall was really disappointing. And then I was supposed to shell out [i] hundreds[/i] of materials and thousands upon thousands of glimmer for bland gold statues? I thought that it was supposed to be a tribute hall to all of my achievements over the last two years, instead I walked into a room that's just a big material dump. All of the other tributes are silly, too. So many arbitrary tasks to be completed wearing leviathan gear. I've already done all these things, but now I have to do them all again, and with a restricted load out? I wanted to celebrate by achievements, not mindlessly grind for, and throw resources at statues that mean the same to me as they do every single other player who just picked up the game.
-
I mean... the main point is for you to get on and do the bounties for the discount. Like... this grind isn't bad if you just have patience and do the bounties as you play. I have seen much worse grind than this.
-
/‘poisonous pvp’/ *git gud*
-
Uh so I was wearing a full set and got the nightfall in 2 strikes
-
Pretty sure levaithan armor doesn't count for strikes and nightfalls, only CoS and menagerie armor
-
Изменено (BraddyBo): 7/14/2019 3:47:32 AMI knew about the exploit but im content waiting 3 weeks to get all 50 tributes because im going for all the triumphs and thats how long it takes to hit 80% discount anyway. Theres another exploit to speed up the discount by 50% but i dont have the time to do it. Bad juju isnt all that great anyway and the catalyst is basically a rampage spec mod.
-
The gun has reasonable requirements. The catalyst does not- that said I cheesed it. The catalyst isn’t great anyway
-
PSA: Get more than 4% discounts daily https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2oY0nfhawg

Damn straight

Изменено (Xc_LuxZenRa): 7/14/2019 3:29:40 AMcan I still do it? haven't logged in since all this new stuff came out.....😭 I am an Xbox one X player now......but I can find a PS4 to do this real quick before cross save comes.
-
I didn't know about the cheese until it was too late either but luckily for me I had enough materials to get most of the tributes done in one day. The only cheese I used was a resource farm that involves buying all of the low level gear from Hawthorne, equipping it to lower your light level to around 450 or so, and then firing up one of the Black Armory forges and walking away for several hours.
-
I mean technically You could get the 80% discount only playing the menagerie. Might not be until destiny 3 comes out, but it's definitely possible
-
I couldn't play for a few days after the update cause of life- man I am so happy for that. I started seeing cheese articles pop up. I made it to 51 tributes, got everything and can casually grind the catalyst. Don't have to burn through any materials either. Feel bad for you and all the others ☹️
-
Everyone in this thread is acting like they don’t have a ghost to help them get planetary mats. Before I left for work today I took 20 minutes to get 100 dusk light shards. It’s easy. Hunters don’t even need a ghost! Just top-tree nightstalker!
-
I did it an hour ago other ppl doing the material farm to
-
I just play the game received the gun solo after a long slog. Did I look for a glitch of corse not. I wanted to beat those taken idiots if it took me all night. Well wasn’t all night but seemed like it.
-
I just finished a Scourge of the Past and got the triumph... #45. On my way to the Tribute hall to get my Bad Juju Catalyst. I'm down to 100,652 dust and 15,531 shards. And my materials are depleted but it feels good getting ot done legit
-
Same. No one cares about your trophy room or my trophy room anyways.
-
i got it in like 40 minutes if you dont know how to get glimmer and see spider for mats thats on you. its not hard to put on a rainmaker buff go kill things for a bit then go mats if you do that a few times a week or even once a week you would have plenty don't blame streamers
-
-
It’s really not bad. Once I can purchase phaseglass, I’ll have enough for the catalyst. I haven’t had to do any raids either. I probably won’t go for the emote though.
-
I'm completely casual and got the gun within 5 hours never stepping I to a raid, nightfall, or the gambit/crucible grind. I actually really never lost any shards by using slider either. I'm really confused how getting just the gun itself was an issue
-
What's the cheese?
-
I got my 18 to get Juju and log off. It's minorly worth while but the 50 triumphs is completely not worth it.
-
Could have bought Hawthorne’s gear to lower your power around 500 and ran volundr forge just die, fail, repeat while your afk 3 days worth of that and had 6,000 of both data lattice and dusklight shards the beauty of it no effort and you get matched with players doing the same thing
