Reconnaissance by fire is BROKEN

Maybe it’s just me, but I think the reward is not even close to the grind with this one. If you do well, like let’s say 20-30 scout kills a game, you’ll only be getting maybe 3-5% on the scout kills. Sure multikills will likely get this percentage up quicker, but we’re talking scout rifles which in this current meta are garbage and you’ll likely not get many multikills with one. And that’s only scout rifle kills, let’s not even get started on the kills and medals part of the quest. I don’t know exactly because bungie really -blam!-ing loves percentages instead of actual numbers, but I’ve heard rumors of needing up to 1,400 kills for this step. [i][b]1400.[/b][/i] Yes medals make this go by much quicker, but either the medals are bugged or extremely specific because sometimes I can go 4 games getting tons of medals without going up a single percent, and sometimes I’ll do worse and go up a few percent. The last step is of course get 2100 glory, which is pretty standard by now and will be the quickest and easiest step by far. So what’s your reward for all of that? A primary 260 with your average rolls. Nothing really special about it other than it being a primary 260 yet the grind for it can easily take longer than recluse and mountaintop, which [i][b]IS NOT OKAY[/b][/i]. Bungie, I know you wanna drag out that content so it seems like there’s a lot more to do than there actually is, but something about this quest needs to change. [spoiler]I also don’t care if it’s only the first week. If a grind is long, stretching it out a few months won’t make the grind any shorter.[/spoiler] I’ll keep posting this until it gets noticed by bungie, no quest should be this broken. It shouldn’t have the possibility of taking over an hour just for one percent. [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been updated with tags that are more appropriate.

  • I think scout rifle kills is pretty standard. Pursuits or triumphs can require something in the region of 400-500 kills so it feels like business as usual. The 14,000 kills/medals though... I played crucible for about 4 hours last night and got 3%... i'm not sure if i'll be able to finish this by the season's end at this pace. I see some people say this part is fine so that makes me assume it actually is broken.

  • I don’t know about the game you’re playing but scouts are meta as hell right now. Jade Rabbit especially is one of my new favorites to use in the crucible The 14,000 medals/defeats is my issue though. I’ve dropped at pretty good amount of medals in my recent matches yet the % only seems to go up about 3 per match on average. I can barely see the effect of any gold tier medals.

  • It's 450 kills and 14,000 -blam!-ing medals and shit. And specific ones it seems, which is also total bullshit. I've been stuck at 16% and it's really just.. 🤬🤬🤬

      For the medals part getting weapon related medals, such as Hawkeye or Cold Fusion, gets you about 1% per medal, and maybe more for heavy related ones. Go to Crucible under the triumphs tab and find the medals tab, and Weapons tab shows which medals I was talking about. Doing this I got around 15% in one game. Hope it helps even a bit.
