How much grinding to unlock the ultimate skins?

Quite a bit, and I think only Lepic, Viessa and Bunny are accessible before Dead Bride, not totally sure. Ultimates are the only farmable item I would be from the Shop, and only the cheaper version.

I'm thinking I should have saved the free Activator for my Thunder Cage rather than using it on my Valby, easier to maximize her power with 50 points than a weapon.

Guess they lost track of who actually played the beta, I just got all the reward items in my mail and never played it at all before.

Still hoping someone can tell me what the difference between Focus on Electric and Electric Mastery is... I have Focus already and it'd be nice if that was one less thing to farm, cause it sure seems like it's better than Mastery in every way.

They've given all the beta rewards as an apology for all accounts, even new ones created after this date.

Comp'd this together to also so that ALL modules and pretty much everything else is available to check out including drop information inside the game via the Access Info panel. Enjoy.

Because they are both "Battle" I'm 99% you can't use them together, but I think you knew that already.

Right, that's what I was looking at. When you upgrade them the skill power gap just gets wider and wider (at rank 6 Focus is something like 9% better). Skill cooldown never changes on Focus, but still it's free CDR and saves you an upgrade or 2 on Nimble Fingers while still making 3's duration as long as its cooldown, so even though they cost the same amount of capacity Focus actually saves you a bit in the end. But everyone making Bunny builds uses Mastery... why?

Only thing I can think of is that Focus is a pain in the ass to farm by comparison? I don't even know where I got mine, was a random mob drop that I didn't even know I got until I sorted through my inventory after an hour or so. I just didn't want to rank up Focus and skip farming Mastery then find out later I wasted all that kuiper because of some detail that I missed.

some of these story bosses are way overtuned. Too much health anyway. Save the ball crushing shit for hard modes you fuckin retards. It should be challenging enough to learn mechanics but fairly easy as it’s story mode. Pissing me off now

I just had an old friend who played Destiny/Destiny 2 reach out and swear up and down this is The Bomb™. So now I am going eat my previous post/words and download this game and give it a shot. Let's see how much money I spend.

Looks like they put Luna ingame today? Hadn't seen here next to the Guide in Albion previously. She is just dancing, lol. Nice costume though.

Edit: Ah, she is just part of the MSQ that opened up after beating Dead Bride.

Question, do you learn weapons proficiencies by type, or do you learn them by individual weapon? Cause I thought it was the former, but it looks like its the latter...

By weapon of same name - Im on hard mode and see a decent amount of people farming infiltrations, myself included. They need to do something about dungeon queue on hard mode. There is no social aspect to this game and idt they even have guilds atm. I tried to solo one and got to end boss but couldnt finish it due to the dumb floating orbs.

Whats the blue icon with a red "!"?

Also why does the battle pass have 4 of the same Launcher Weapon?

Blue icon indicates an available quest somewhere in Albion, probably the Descendent Instructor maybe? Or maybe it means a quest is completed.

Battle Pass is a complete mess in terms of rewards and UI. When you hit lvl50, you'll start to get free skins... but it is SUPER easy to miss that UI element. I think you have to reach lvl90 to get all of them: Helm/Body for each of the starters (lepic, ajax, viessa), just recolors of the default skin. To find it, you need to click the half hidden button on the right side of the main BP screen (the MAIN screen where you see the BP button, the Bonus Shop button and the Challenge button). Its so dumb.

So in case anyone else was wondering the same thing about skill damage mods:

Focus on Electric is indeed far superior to Electric Mastery. Electric Specialist is the best though--you trade the cooldown reduction for a small increase in electric skill power, but the main reason is that it's a normal mod instead of a rare, and maxing out normal mods costs vastly less kuiper (103k vs 206k). Downside of Specialist is that you can't get it until much later in MSQ progression.

This goes for all the elements, not just Bunny.

Also, finally figured out how to see the stat differences between regular and ultimate characters:

Seems fairly significant actually considering shields are largely irrelevant at endgame and def/hp are what everyone is scaling to extreme levels to survive in hard mode. Plus she comes with extra M and R polarities saving you from having to spend $6 and relevel to 40 a couple times.

Well, you have the people who played Warframe or Destiny a lot that shit on TFD a bit. Other than that, it seems most ppl are having a lot of fun, including me (cockblock Void Intercepts aside).

Monetization is complete ass though, cannot deny that.

Getting to lvl40 is irrelevant since you can just farm the Kingston Defense for that (also good for Mastery ranks). Main story is fast, then blocked by Void Bosses for each new zone (I think you need to do all of them eventually, except Hanged Man).

Increasing Weapon mod capacity is a priority (imo) on the weapon or weapons you like best, whether they are uniques or rares, and you can cheaply lvl them up with you.

The Battle Pass UI is the worst I've ever seen, whoever designed it should be fired.

I'm not sure that's fair to say. I've got 1500 hours in Warframe and 3500 hours in Destiny 2. I'm loving this game.
