Today’s write-up is a long one and the strategy is a little tedious. If you haven’t already, check out this video by [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezhqKvTztX4]Fallout Plays[/url] about the whole Empyrean Foundation event going on. The TL:DR of it is that you should invest as much of the Fractaline as you can into the obelisks this and next reset so that the last three resets of the season will give you the best return on your investment. The video goes into a more in-depth explanation on the math. So with that in mind, I wanted to focus on the bounties and activities that reward Fractaline, the Obelisk and Saint-14’s bounties. So I’ll be tailoring today’s strategy and loadout around them and sending you to where you can grab the most XP. I usually advise not doing the weeklies in one sitting, but there’s enough overlap between them that it’s worth it. Just a reminder: To save myself some time with updating the website every day, I’ve changed the format of it. Check the [url=https://sabrosensix.-blam!-.com/bhd2/anywhere-bounties]Anywhere page[/url] for the bounties you can do anywhere in the game. Any bounties that can be done in patrol zones will be listed as such. Then check the page for the activity you’re heading into to see if any activity-specific bounties are available for the day. There’s a description of each page on the homepage of Bounty Hunter. Onwards! Obelisk Stuff Precision kills with a sniper rifle and Captains defeated will progress the Obelisk of the Tangled Shores’ Leaderless, They Fall. Grenade Launcher kills, especially multikills, will progress its Overkiller. Getting kills and multikills with a Sword will progress the Obelisk of Mars’ Too Close and the Obelisk of Nessus Cut to the Quick. Precision kills on Hive will count towards the Obelisk of Mars’ Perfect Shot. Multikills of three or more enemies with a Kinetic Weapon will progress the Obelisk of Nessus’ No Time to Lose. Multikills of three or more enemies with a Scout Rifle will progress the Obelisk of the EDZ’s Three Birds One Stone. Primary Loadout for Today: Kinetic Scout Rifle, Grenade Launcher and Sniper Rifle in Energy. You only need the Sniper Rifle for 30 precision kills. Sword in Heavy. Make your weapons Void (with a 25 kill dip into Solar). Defeat enemies with melee ability kills. This covers the Obelisk dailies listed above as well as Saint-14’s Personal Space. Secondary Loadout: Bow and Pulse Rifle in Kinetic and Energy. Linear Fusion Rifle in Heavy. I’d suggest Arbalest for this Calabration but the Kinetic slot is a little crowded today. Up to you though. Make your weapons mainly Void. Defeat enemies with melee ability kills. This loadout covers Banshee-44’s Calibrations for today, Zavala’s Fast and True, Kill it with Fire, and Into the Abyss, and Saint-14’s Personal Space. Void Weapon kills will also progress Zavala’s Force Projection Weekly. Kills you get with Primary weapons in either loadout will complete Drifter’s REAPER: Reaping with the Basics. Defeating enemies from behind or without taking damage from them completes his INVADER: Invading by Surprise. Today you’re heading into the [url=https://sabrosensix.-blam!-.com/bhd2/vanguard]Strike Playlist[/url]. Before you jump in, hopefully your Obelisk of the EDZ has its Vanguard Fractaline Extractor up to level 3. And it may be worth it to grab those Fractaline Skimmers from the Tower Obelisk, you can purchase 6 each week. This will help with farming the stuff for the Empyrean Foundation event. Now there are two enemies listed in the bounties for today, Cabal from Saint-14’s Rank and File (50 Cabal defeated) and Hive from the Obelisk of Mars’ Perfect Shot (precision kills on Hive). Zavala is looking for a Cabal boss defeated for his Five to One weekly. Both of his weeklies require three Strikes to be run. You’ll notice I left out the Obelisk of the EDZ’s Leaderless, They Fall. While you can easily get the Sniper precision kills in the strikes, there are better places to farm Fallen Captains. By all means keep an eye out for them, but when you’re done with the strikes, head to Thieves’ Landing at the Tangled Shore as there are two Captain spawns there and one inside that “night club” lost sector. Strike One: The Insight Terminus 50 Cabal kills in this strike takes care of Saint-14’s Rank and File and the boss knocks out the Cabal Boss requirement of Zavala’s Five to One. You can knock out all three of Failsafe’s dailies in the strike today. 20 Super kills, 10 Orbs of Light generated, and 30 Cabal defeated. Strike Two: Savathun’s Song Your main focus here is Hive precision kills. If you can use that Kinetic Scout Rifle of yours to land those multikills, you’ll progress three different Obelisk bounties at once. Defeating 20 enemies with your Power weapons completes Sloane’s Kaboom and generating 10 Orbs of Light will cover her Make it Rain. Strike Three: Strange Terrain Again, your main focus here is Hive precision kills just as with Savathun’s Song. You can knock out all three of Ana Bray’s dailies in here as well: 10 Orbs of light generated, 10 precision kills, and 30 cabal defeated. For the Cabal just knock this one out in the area right outside Ana’s door before you launch the strike. Strike Four?: Scarlet Keep If you still need Hive precision kills run this strike. 50 enemies defeated without dying takes care of Eris’ Moonstreak and Using any Energy weapon, defeating enemies in streaks of 3 or more without taking damage in between will cover her Element of Surprise. Each of her bounties rewards 6000 XP and 5 Helium Filaments. Black Armory Stuff: Be sure to grab the Vanguard Research Frame from Ada-1 as well as her Powerful Bow or Pulse Rifle Frame to pair with Banshee-44's Calibrations. Ada has 3 bounties that can be worked on in the Volundr Forge today. Each daily rewards 2000 XP, 1 Modulus Report, 1500 Glimmer, and progress on Ada’s For the Armory weekly bounty. 2 successful Forge ignitions completes the Forging the Future weekly bounty for 3000 XP, 1 Ballistics Report, 2500 Glimmer, and a piece of Black Armory armor. Since Volundr Forge is in the EDZ, you can work on 2 of Devrim’s dailies while you’re in there. Each bounty rewards 6,000 XP and 10 Dusklight Shards. Treasure Hunts You can make progress on Werner/Benedict 99-40’s Imperial Bestiary, Trial by Wits, Imperial Salute, and Spoils of War while you’re in these strikes today. Your haul for today, without multipliers, is: 140,000 XP This doesn’t include the XP and rewards from the Obelisk bounties 30 Microphasic Datalattice 20 Alkane Dust 30 Seraphite 4 Enhancement Cores and 8 Mod Components Progress on Banshee-44’s Weekly Challenge (4/8 Gunsmith bounties) 3 Moderate Fractaline Harvests 2 Synths and 100 Infamy Progress on Drifter’s Weekly Challenge (2/8 Gambit bounties) 50 Vanguard Tokens Progress on Zavala’s Weekly Challenge (6/8 Vanguard bounties)
