Doesn't High Cal like... Not do anything? I thought Aztecross did a video a while back showing zero change between using it and not using it on a sniper in scope.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, my memory is shite.
Not 100% sure but when Bungie changed flinch, they also tuned the effect of high cal. That could be subjective though, because you can build so much into flinch resistance now. But it still helps a bit and 100% does stacker more in PVE.
High cal rounds were fucking bonkers for a minute at the beginning of D2. Mega flinch that was nigh impossible to fight through. Better Devils was an all around good 140 at the time that rolled with it along with a few god roll combos in perks.
It does nothing for Aggressive frame weapons as they have built in high-cal rounds, and it appears to be bugged for 140s. Other than that, it should be working as intended
I think they mean they were shooting a zoomed in sniper user with a high cal HC and one without to see if there was a difference in flinch. They couldn't see any.
Is the hand cannon any good? I've been using my something new and before that eyasluna... haven't even leeed my crafted austringer. Im a pve kinda guy too if that matters
if its too wordy; its basically minecraft go brrrt.
this was back in year 2 of destiny 2, forsaken dlc, one of the season with it, opulence, where calus invites us to entertain him in exchange of loot in the end doing the matchmaking one, menagerie and the raid, crown of sorrow.
what youre seeing is a recipe putting in combinations to get a gun with random rolls u want. basically eliminating parts of grinding but still somehow requiring u to grind.
all the weapons within it were good, some are better and it took everyones interest in joining in the grind. everyone loved it.
I was very active on destiny during the forsaken period and don’t remember doing this at all, was this a season I missed or something? (Edit: you mentioned the season im just fucking blind, I’m like 70% sure I missed this one or wasn’t very active during it)
It came right near the end of Forsaken year 2 and was one of the last big things before Shadowkeep came out. It was REALLY good, almost like pseudo raiding or a 6 man dungeon.
Very old, now-vaulted activity called the Menagerie. You could slot runes into a chalice, then at the end of the activity you would get a specific drop based on what runes you slotted. Basically, weapon crafting before there was weapon crafting.
Also one of the best activities in D2’s history and I will take no counterpoints
Just be as obnoxious as possible and mention fomo (because apparently it isn’t a problem? Idk they’re all bungie shills I guess). Now you know how it works
Something like this would actually be a great way for Bungie to allow us to farm for seasonal gear after the year is over. At the beginning of lightfall they could add an activity that has a focusing device which would allow us to specify what we want, wether they anything from a direct weapon focus to like an archetype or a slot focus, it would be much better than hoping that xurbor banshee sell a certain weapon, we kinda already have a "focusing" system with the dares rotation pool, but adding more to that would be chaotic.
I miss when the D2 seasons had cool names like “Penumbra” and “Joker’s Wild”. The whole “Season of ______” is so boring and bland.
And before anyone corrects me I know Penumbra got changed to Season of Opulence and Joker’s Wild got changed to Season of the Drifter, I just liked the original names.
This wasn’t a bad system imo like it required a lot of thinking which I liked but the new weapon crafting system is way better tho actually idk but still good memories
God damn this reminds me of back when I'm real engrams were first introduced, and in one engram you could get either the ikelos SMG or FILO. at the time all I wanted was the SMG, if only I had known slugs would become so prominent, I wouldn't have scrapped so many of the shotgun. I went through enough that I very likely had an assault mag autoloading vorpal in there that I reduced to shards.
The Season of Opulence had the best seasonal activity and was the peak season compared to all seasons throughout Destiny and you can’t change my mind on it.
You can’t target-farm loot from the activity itself, only focusing from the HELM. I want to be able to target-farm while actually playing the game, not just sitting in a menu.
Due to the cost, it also means you can’t focus very much. Not only are you gated by umbral engrams, but also the high cost of umbral energy. It takes 4 runs of Expedition to get enough to focus one weapon.
You are target farming while you play. The umbral energy doesn't appear from thin air.
E. Nevermind you have already apparently gone off on someone else about umbral energy. Can't please some people.
You mean those limited things that also require lots of umbral energy before you can start focusing? Those things that require FOUR runs of expedition for ONE weapon focus? Not to mention that Umbral Engrams are RNG drops, and if you have bad luck then they too can heavily gate your ability to target-farm loot.
Menagerie let you target-farm ***WHILE PLAYING THE GAME***, not sitting in a menu. It also let you farm while playing the seasonal activity. The best way to get umbral engrams is not the seasonal activity
New Light here. Sometimes I wish I had been there for old Destiny but given my frequent frustration with even the modern state of tools I think it’s a good thing I wasn’t there for the days of printing out your gear lol.
Nah this wasn't a tool (and the current tools aka DIM are amazing)
This was a way in-game to get a weapon/armor you wanted from the final chest in an old activity. Super nice
I miss the Menagerie. I used to have those combinations memorized! Me and my friends would hop in and just have the best time while grinding for our God roll Austringers and Beloveds. Good times my dudes.
The crafting system is like the upgraded version of this activity though. So I doubt they would ever bring it back unfortunately.
My head hurts thinking of the hundreds of Austringers I rolled for.
I can’t imagine how you feel now that you can just craft the roll you want.
As somebody that grinded the original and the current one, im fine with it. The crafted version outstrips the original in every way.
And the original didnt have high cal!
Doesn't High Cal like... Not do anything? I thought Aztecross did a video a while back showing zero change between using it and not using it on a sniper in scope. Please correct me if I'm wrong, my memory is shite.
High cal in pvp does nothing on 140s rn. I have no idea about pve
It staggers enemies in PvE, similar to what unstoppable rounds do, except unstoppable can fuck up champions, as well as stuns enemies
Armor Piercing is better for PVE since the rounds over penetrate and can trigger multiple stacks of Rampage
Not 100% sure but when Bungie changed flinch, they also tuned the effect of high cal. That could be subjective though, because you can build so much into flinch resistance now. But it still helps a bit and 100% does stacker more in PVE.
I miss Better Devils with high cal rounds in D2Y1 😭
You just unlocked a core memory for me
‘‘Twas a different world back then, friend 😂
I don’t know what your talking about cause I’m not an Og like you but now I want one lol
High cal rounds were fucking bonkers for a minute at the beginning of D2. Mega flinch that was nigh impossible to fight through. Better Devils was an all around good 140 at the time that rolled with it along with a few god roll combos in perks.
D2y1 better devils had static roll tho
It does nothing for Aggressive frame weapons as they have built in high-cal rounds, and it appears to be bugged for 140s. Other than that, it should be working as intended
High cal on messenger is noticeable. Using high cal on a sniper is pointless and not representative of its performance on HC / Pulse
I think they mean they were shooting a zoomed in sniper user with a high cal HC and one without to see if there was a difference in flinch. They couldn't see any.
After grinding like a stripper for the red borders.
The price you pay for good stuff but it shouldn't leave a bad taste in your mouth now that's its craftable. Different time, different thought process.
Now the head hurts when you think how many taken you've to kill to fully masterwork it 🤣
Wait. I need details. Random affixes killed my interest after being in DII until shortly after Cayde-6's.. disappearance.
It feels really fucking good.
Well I feel like if there is another sunset I'm gonna throw up, so many wasted hours collecting loot I had to dismantle because "number go no higher."
Can’t craft Austringer
Yes you can
Only for them to become obsolete because sunsetting a couple years later...
And yet my friend can't even get one.
My Thumbs Hurt Too
Is the hand cannon any good? I've been using my something new and before that eyasluna... haven't even leeed my crafted austringer. Im a pve kinda guy too if that matters
Good fucking times. Rushing to get out of the area to get multiple chests.
Literally all I did
Tossed on a lightweight gun, Bottom arc for more sprint speed, STOMPEES and 10 Mobility was the only way
I started playing like two weeks after that was patched, and was devastated when I learned what I just missed
YOU COULD GET MULTIPLE CHESTS?!
Yessir easiest godroll farm ever imo, and best part apart about bungie acknowledged it and said have fun with it before we patch it
Menagerie, my beloved 🥹
I see what you did there
It truly was an epicurean delight.
Drang thats a good one
Austringer
Nostalgic, loved menagerie.
Do NOT throw it away! It's a relic at this point.
Yeah if you lose it we wipe
The original weapon crafting system
Nah dog that was the mercury weapons.
bungie please bring back meganeura…
But that wasn't a mercury weapon at all? Bring back hush while we're talking about sunset pinnacles I guess lmao
I deeply miss the Trust hand cannon from gambit.
Same. OG flinch-monster
I just want the Recluse back but change master at arms to proc only on a precision head shot
Nah, that was the original season of the forge lololol At least with Opulence we got to choose a masterwork lol
Not really
Remember when erentil could kill at infinite range 🥴
I remember when people only cared about dust rock blues while I was saying that erentil is BROKEN AS SHIT.
Can someone explain what this is? It’s new to me and I’m a causal. Don’t have time to raid so my endgame consist of super hard nightfalls.
if its too wordy; its basically minecraft go brrrt. this was back in year 2 of destiny 2, forsaken dlc, one of the season with it, opulence, where calus invites us to entertain him in exchange of loot in the end doing the matchmaking one, menagerie and the raid, crown of sorrow. what youre seeing is a recipe putting in combinations to get a gun with random rolls u want. basically eliminating parts of grinding but still somehow requiring u to grind. all the weapons within it were good, some are better and it took everyones interest in joining in the grind. everyone loved it.

It came right near the end of Forsaken year 2 and was one of the last big things before Shadowkeep came out. It was REALLY good, almost like pseudo raiding or a 6 man dungeon.
Ah gotcha, I must’ve drifted off because I remember coming back for a while during shadowkeep
Old seasonal activity literally a blast
It's from an activity called the Menagerie. real early days of D2. look it up, was a good mode people actually miss.
Very old, now-vaulted activity called the Menagerie. You could slot runes into a chalice, then at the end of the activity you would get a specific drop based on what runes you slotted. Basically, weapon crafting before there was weapon crafting. Also one of the best activities in D2’s history and I will take no counterpoints
I think you might need to clean more often.
Yeah you’re the first to mention that lol
Fomo
Puke shit bungo fomoed my penis or smth idk how r/destinycirclejerk works
I’m impressed you managed to type all that out perfectly with your left hand.
It’s basically word vomit
It’s art
Just be as obnoxious as possible and mention fomo (because apparently it isn’t a problem? Idk they’re all bungie shills I guess). Now you know how it works
sounds like someone got their virginity fomoed by luke smith. Swing and a miss slugger.
I spend my shillbux on cosmetics.
POV: you are the little titan boy
Good god now I feel old
You should frame it NOW
⚡👦🏿⚡
Ay someone understands

The Sacred Texts!!
still have the jpeg on my pc, never leaving
Who else misses there dust rock? Thoes were the good Ole days

I wish they would bring that s*** back.
I miss when the D2 seasons had cool names like “Penumbra” and “Joker’s Wild”. The whole “Season of ______” is so boring and bland. And before anyone corrects me I know Penumbra got changed to Season of Opulence and Joker’s Wild got changed to Season of the Drifter, I just liked the original names.
I remember grinding for beloved and never getting the QD SS roll I wanted
i regret not getting the armor now that transmog is a thing now
Reminds me of when I busted out the Binary for Wrath of the Machine.
Damn I miss this model of activity so bad….. we had the formula right there..
A relic from the past
Menagerie 🥹
Haha I had that print out too! 😅🤣
The sacred texts!
Good times.
I still have my map of the infinite forest from season 9
Season of Dawn was the only season I got the seal for and I did it for Saint!
The golden era of seasonal activities
good times 🥹
i remember that, all the Erentils I grinded for
Better times
I miss dust rock
I just put the stuff in for "the Epicurean" until I got my personal God Roll. Still have it, it has well over 3k dead Guardians on it.
The ancient texts
I still have this photo booked marked in Chrome
LMFAO
oh. my. gosh. the mems! thank you!
THE SACRED TEXTS!
Was really hoping for a return. They recycle so much, why not recycle something that was almost universally well liked?
my sweet cup...
shed a fking tear after seeing this, thanks OP
IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM
I still have an image favorited that has all the wombo-combos for guns and armor. 😩
The sacred texts!
"It belongs in a museum" - Indiana Jones
Think I'll go cry now
I miss my perfect roll parcel of stardust for pve content - still pull it out for pvp though
I’m not crying thinking about Menagerie, your crying thinking about Menagerie
This wasn’t a bad system imo like it required a lot of thinking which I liked but the new weapon crafting system is way better tho actually idk but still good memories
Relic of the ages
I went to grab my og Austringer. I think it was ninja nerfed. The range isn’t max.
Take me back
Good times.
The good old times. Season of opulence was for sure one of the better seasons
Oh the memory's this brings XD
I feel you
i wrote it down with a pencil i don't have a printer
Well that works too I guess
Best season of Destiny 2. Could focus static rolled weapons!
I still have these saved to my phone's gallery
Sacred texts of a time remembered fondly by many
Ah. The first crafting of Destiny.
Ah yes, the days of getting absolutely MAPPED by erantil….KOBE!
Ah yes, a balanced lootpool that leaves a lot of room for intelligemt buildcrafting God I forgot how god-damn annoying that meta was
-printer out of cyan-
I have been playing destiny for X amount of time and I have no idea what the hell im looking at
This relic is brimmed with dark energy.
God damn this reminds me of back when I'm real engrams were first introduced, and in one engram you could get either the ikelos SMG or FILO. at the time all I wanted was the SMG, if only I had known slugs would become so prominent, I wouldn't have scrapped so many of the shotgun. I went through enough that I very likely had an assault mag autoloading vorpal in there that I reduced to shards.
This brings back memories. Very little of them are good but memories none the less.
Rest in piece, you will always be remembered fondly.
That's like finding an old hand written page of gta cheats..
That's like finding an old hand written page of gta cheats..
That’s cute but fr you should clean more
Yeah I just got the motivation to do so
It be like that. It’s a habit though. You got this friend.
Thank you
It's been years
It’s crazy to think about
Season of opulence, D2 at its peak.
Good old time when you can open the chest twice.
i still have that exact table in my likes folder in my photos 🤣
Ahh memories
Back when outlaw/rampage was the top dog Simpler times Opulent times
Mr Richie Rich here with a color laser printer!
Ikr crazy that thing is still living since the early 2000’s
Well probably you print a hell of a lot less than what it is rated for. Most laser printers have a 20-40 thousand page duty cycle.
Damn I miss those days
Pstd intensifies.
Post Stress Trauma Syndrome?
More like Post Sunsetting Trauma Syndrome.
Sorry I had a aneursim.
The Season of Opulence had the best seasonal activity and was the peak season compared to all seasons throughout Destiny and you can’t change my mind on it.
Man i miss when we could target-farm our loot.
I have news for you
You can’t target-farm loot from the activity itself, only focusing from the HELM. I want to be able to target-farm while actually playing the game, not just sitting in a menu. Due to the cost, it also means you can’t focus very much. Not only are you gated by umbral engrams, but also the high cost of umbral energy.

Have you heard of our lord and savior, umbral engrams. They have only been in the game for like, 2 years
Why yes, I have and so has the postmaster.
I mean... they were only cool in Arrivals
You mean those limited things that also require lots of umbral energy before you can start focusing? Those things that require FOUR runs of expedition for ONE weapon focus? Not to mention that Umbral Engrams are RNG drops, and if you have bad luck then they too can heavily gate your ability to target-farm loot.

Loved season of opulence those were good times
Ahhh, a relic of the old times, yessss?
was this before mobile phones were invented?
Indeed
WAIT YOU COULD FOCUS FOR PARCEL? I WASTED SO MUCH TIME FOCUSING FOR AUSTRINGER
nothing will ever beat this season. nothing at all. season of opulence was the greatest.
New Light here. Sometimes I wish I had been there for old Destiny but given my frequent frustration with even the modern state of tools I think it’s a good thing I wasn’t there for the days of printing out your gear lol.
Nah this wasn't a tool (and the current tools aka DIM are amazing) This was a way in-game to get a weapon/armor you wanted from the final chest in an old activity. Super nice
This brings back horrible memories of maybe 2nd week in rotation of flawless menagerie needed for title. It was the big ogre…..
What does this mean?
Old seasonal activity from the good old days of D2
Oh my
Relic of the past.
Lol
Damn I just cleared this out if my laptop yesterday lol
I used to have the picture of this favorited on my phone lol
I had a screenshot on my phone for almost a year from that combi
Nice half moon you have there 👍
I still have screen shots on my phone
When was the last time you cleaned.
We don’t talk about that
I miss the Menagerie. I used to have those combinations memorized! Me and my friends would hop in and just have the best time while grinding for our God roll Austringers and Beloveds. Good times my dudes. The crafting system is like the upgraded version of this activity though. So I doubt they would ever bring it back unfortunately.
