Destiny Weapon Stats

In Halo armor was just a skin and weapons were universal. Here in Destiny we have my favorite level of game involvement, upgrading equipment and coordination of tools.

However, now I want to know what I am really doing with all of my stuff. Do I sacrifice some impact with my auto rifle if the attack rating is better? Will I get more damage per second with my scout rifle even though it is much slower?

I am starting to do some research. All in all, I am a calculus student, I'd like to see the equations for me shooting a Fallen, a Vex, or (especially) another player. But for the time being, I am looking around at what other people are saying.

Here are two good entries that I am recommending to my other friends and will be looking over more of the comments and other posts. If you care to do your own research, here you go.

Ikora Part 2

A Request From Ikora Part 2
Exotic Weapon Bounty
Earn a Kills/Death spread of 25 in the Crucible.
Rewards: Unknown
"I know the Crucible is unforgiving - but that's why it's valuable. Show me that you don't spend all your time as a pool of particles waiting to be reassembled by your Ghost."

Oh fuck me crooked. The Game I won the other day is about the best that I think I can ever do, that was a total fucking fluke. I actually do not know how long this damn thing is going to spend in my inventory. And I further wonder how many times I have to do it. The meter reads "0 of 25 Completed". This is going to take some time. The weapon had better be fucking amazing.

20141003 I am abandoning this bounty. I am not a player for PvP. I don't do well at it and I don't like it. 10 has been my best spread in here so far. I get my crucible marks by turning in collected materials. I am sure this will eventually lead to a great weapon, but I am going to pass on it. This is the second such bounty I have encountered, I am sure there will be more.

Finally Made Queen's Guard Rank 1. Bought the Shader and the Emblem.

OK, finally got it in The Divide. I tried the Strike again, but as I had already died and fucked up my other mission, I did not count that as my "one more time" I got this done. :)

I actually did this with just one public event on a Lv 20 mission on earth. I did it so fast I forgot to put it in here.

I am so pissed at myself.

I am so pissed. I slept in too late today and almost missed my son's Tae Kwon Do test. I almost missed TAKING him.
And I got home in time to put away groceries and sit down and play my D&D game. I forgot Xur! I fucking needed him and I forgot he was only here 9 to 9. AHHHHH! A whole week again before I can complete this damn quest for my legendary weapon.

Oh, hey, I found him in the area by the speaker. Got my stuff for the rifle and other goodies too.

This sucks, the other one was 200 Sensor Mites in Cosmodrome, but with the exotic weapon bounty, I don't have enough room to take it as well.

A voice in the wilderness

Destiny: Exotic Weapon Bounty
Search loot caches on Mars for clues.

Description: A Hunter returning from Mars claims to have heard a voice coming from a sealed cache.

Incomplete

Well then, let's see what this has in store and who locked a living thing in a box. Is it a weapon with AI? Is it a Ghost?

OK, second chest I open on Mars I find "A Recalcitrant Gun" The item reads "This appears to be the frame of an old machine gun. The frame... talks."

Quote from the weapon: "I won't be used and discarded like a common cannon! I need the hands of an honest laborer to reassure me. Then we'll discuss terms."

Then the item reads "Your Ghost takes an instant dislike to the weapon."

Brought the weapon to the tower. Gunsmith did what he could, but I need to buy parts from Xur when he shows up tomorrow. Fucking hope I have enough exotic coins. Though, when I saw him before 1 was the usual price.

Sept 19
Got the part from Xur and now my mission is to impress it by killing 500 people with my machine gun. Head shots are worth more and using rockets gets deducted.

I have pleased the weapon and taking it back to the gunsmith.
And now I have a very powerful weapon and an exotic one at that. Happy Hunting to me.

Factions

I was naturally wondering what was with the Future War Cult, the New Monarchy, and Fallen Orbit. The game does not explain much. All they do is offer good gear IF you do a million menial tasks wearing their colors.

So, thank you Destiny Encyclopedia (I am sorry, but I cannot bring myself to pronounce what you have titled yourself) for the information you put together for us.

I sure hope that there will be other factions available in the future of the game, even if those factions are not part of the governing body of the tower or city.

Though I should have mentioned a while ago, and many who play will know, when you put on the mark of another faction, Vanguard rep goes to that instead. Yesterday I joined Fallen Orbit. So any Vanguard Rep I get from bounty or patrol goes to my level with them.
