In Destiny , the scopes are one of the various characteristics that you can select for a sniper rifle. They are presented in a video overview.

Sniper rifles in Destiny are among the most popular weapons: The legendary versions such as Black Hammer, LDR 5001 or Efrideet’s Spear are monsters that might only be surpassed by the exotic Icebreaker.

And what do you think of when it comes to sniper rifles first? Well, camouflage, precision shots, Full Metal Jacket, Duel – Enemy at the Gates, or a quick repositioning come to mind, but still: Somewhere around position 24, the scope appears, and that is actually one of the most important things. Also in Destiny.

Today we want to introduce you to a useful video that breaks down what the individual sniper scopes do in Destiny, what values and advantages they bring, and most importantly, how they look in the game. The scopes are particularly important, especially for sniper rifles.

The individual scopes differ in the bonus to range, stability, handling, and reload speed. And they determine the zoom factor.

The agony of choice when it comes to scopes in Destiny

Normally, with sniper rifles, you have the choice between three different scopes. Different versions of the same type of sniper rifle can theoretically offer up to 8 different scopes. They are always located at various nodes, the upgrade spots. However, only one of the options on the weapon is actually present.

With the Iron Banner sniper Efrideet’s Spear, it can be rolled accordingly; with other legendary weapons, you have to hope for the next drop.

• Available are the long-distance specialists: Eagleeye SLR20, Sightys SLS20, and Hawkeye SLR15 (the highest spot).
• Compromise solutions for medium distance: Longview SLR10, Shortgaze SLH10, Longview SLR20 (the middle node),
• And there are two experts for close distance: Tacsys SLS15, Ambush SLH25 (the lowest of the 3 choices),

Many Guardians prefer the scopes designed for short distance, located at the 3rd node.

However, not every sniper rifle can have its scope selected. With exotic weapons like the Icebreaker or “No Land Beyond,” it is fixed. The patience and time have two different scopes available, the normal one and one via a special trait.

Here is an image that shows you the individual scopes. Click on it to enlarge.

By the way: The “No Land Beyond” is considered to be the sniper rifle with the most annoying fixed sight in Destiny, but in practice, the retro weapon drives players to peak performance.

Do you have a favorite among the scopes? The video creator swears by the Ambush SLH25.

In Destiny , a talented fan has now packed Titan, Hunter, and Warlock in the Iron Banner armor.

One of the complaints about Destiny that you often hear is: You all look like clones. And there is, as even the toughest fan must admit, some truth to that. Because the path to the highest level in Destiny leads through the armor that he wears, which is also visible on the hero.

And that meant for a long time that if a Guardian wanted to climb to the highest level in Destiny, the choice was severely limited: the player must wear 3 raid armor pieces – one exotic armor piece is still available to him. This results in many players of a class looking very similar. They only visually differ by their weapon and perhaps a shader.

The chest has been available since Tuesday in the Iron Banner of Destiny

Now, since Tuesday the third armor piece of the Iron Banner, the chest, can be earned, with a light level of 36. 36 is the magic number that reaches up to the highest level. It is likely that at the next Iron Banner in April the new helm will be sold: Then the Iron Banner set in Destiny would be complete at the new highest level!

Also now players finally have armor pieces to change. Some play the Iron Banner just to finally get a different chest piece because they simply do not like the look of the current raid armor or because the new armor simply looks so much better.

By the way: The Iron Banner armors have another advantage, they do not need to be upgraded with glowing fragments, but can be upgraded with ascendant fragments!

This is what Titan, Hunter, and Warlock look like in full Iron Banner gear

A talented reddit user has captured what heroes look like in full Iron Banner gear. You already know what the Iron Banner armor looked like, back from before the DLC, when it was already available. Until Tuesday, March 24, there is still the opportunity to go hunting for the chest, which not only looks stylish but also has quite decent stats.

A player has defeated the Crota’s End raid in Destiny using only one hand. This is not a self-imposed handicap, but a result of a disability.

In every conceivable way, the Crota’s End raid in the MMO shooter Destiny has been defeated: alone, alone only with a shotgun or with the “No Land Beyond” equipped; alone and only with grenades, supers, and completely on fire weapons – even on heroic mode, there are already some records, as one player has managed to defeat Crota solo and another recently defeated Atheon in this way solo.

A while ago, considering the multitude of new records and ideas on how individual players complete Crota’s End, we jokingly asked: How will it be done next, since there is only the one raid? What is left? Is the next one going solo and maybe blindfolded? Or just playing with one hand? And indeed, today came the video series: A player has completed the entire Crota’s End raid one-handed.

The first reaction is somewhat: Well, what a poser. However, that would be completely out of place in this case, as the YouTuber “TheKAPGUN” can indeed only play with one hand. The other is underdeveloped. He has no control over his right arm below the elbow. It is not a self-imposed handicap, but a very real one. So it is truly an achievement that should be respected, not boastful. The player has been uploading YouTube videos for over 4 years, showing how he accomplishes things despite his disability that others cannot achieve with two healthy hands.

Here are the videos of how he cleans up in the Crota’s End raid one-handed and on his own:

In this video, the player explains how he can successfully complete video games despite his actual handicap, and he also describes the physical limitations he manages, because he has to and because he wants to. Great respect, Guardian!

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there are new statements from the Japanese user Megaman regarding the vendor Xur, along with a prediction for his inventory.

For weeks, the Japanese-speaking Reddit user Megaman has accurately predicted the inventory of the Exotic vendor Xur. However, on last Friday, a completely different Xur appeared in Destiny, who also brought a different inventory than predicted.

Xur is another

Megamanexe4 has since commented on this and clarified the reasoning: Bungie decided not to send the “normal” Xur to the Tower last Friday, but rather a doppelgänger. Bungie handpicked his inventory. And this “second” Xur cannot be found in the databases beforehand.

The same thing was done on January 30. The “real” Xur was supposed to have the weapon “No Land Beyond” for sale, but Bungie sent a doppelgänger who sold exactly what Xur sold, except for the weapon: Instead, he offered “Dragon’s Breath”.

However, Megaman states that the “normal” Xurs he has previously predicted are still normally available in the database. He checked this until May 15. Therefore, his previous predictions are still valid, provided the normal Xur comes. However, Bungie could swap the “normal” Xur for the “doppelgänger” Xur at any time. Then the predictions would be “Crap”.

Bungie can change anything in Destiny, it just needs to want to

This means that the predicted weapons such as Hard Light or Thunderlord, which were forecasted for the next weeks, may not be coming. However, weapons like Gjallarhorn or (as in the last week) Red Death, which weren’t actually planned, might be available. Last week, users even thanked Megaman for ensuring that Xur had a much better offer than initially predicted.

Megaman does not comment on the changes that the last hotfix brought. Other dataminers mentioned seeing only “No Land Beyond” when attempting to datamine Xur. Apparently, Megaman has no issues with that.

Xur prediction for March 20 in Destiny

For March 20, there is indeed an older prediction from Megaman. This should be the inventory of Xur, which appears in conjunction with this Iron Banner:

Here Xur sells for the first time in Destiny the auto rifle “Hard Light.” One of the two weapons he hasn’t had in his showcase yet. The other weapon is “Thunderlord.”

The armors he has for sale are “No Plan B” for Titans, “Ahamkara’s Spine” for Hunters, and for Warlocks, the helm “Apotheosis Veil.” The stats for the armors are not known.

If that were the case, it would be a decent Xur, especially for Warlocks and collectors. Xur hasn’t had the Apotheosis Veil since the 3rd week in Destiny. Many players may still be missing it. Although he has never had Hard Light, it is not an extremely sought-after weapon, but more something for collectors. No Plan B has been sold by Xur more frequently lately, just like Ahamkara’s Spine – so those wouldn’t be exceptional items.

It’s getting exciting in the Tower again

As Megaman states, this is still the inventory of the normal Xur and should hold, unless Bungie decides to send a doppelgänger again. So predictions still exist, but the likelihood of them actually happening has decreased since last Friday. It’s getting exciting again. This is exactly what some users wished for after the last few weeks.
