He uses 3 things; the hunter has a skill that makes you invisible roughly 3 seconds after you crouch (and not moving). With the 'shadowjack' skill perk, you'll stay invisible for about 10 seconds. Next, he uses the 'escape artist', which makes you invisible everytime you hit enemies with your hunter's blink strike melee. If you have a high strength stat, you can use this skill quite often.

The final 'cheese' that he uses is the invisibility from the Patience and Time sniper rifle. The brilliant thing about PnT's invisibility is that it has NO cooldown, meaning it'll always activate within 3 seconds EVERYTIME you aim down the scope, even when you're moving. The hunter's crouch invisibility has a soft cooldown, if you crouch again immediately after your first use, it'll take about 7 seconds to activate the second time. Im not 100% sure but killing enemies seems to reset this cooldown.

I have a hunter with PnT and i usually use the bladedancer subclass for PvE, its great for soloing nightfalls and keeping your team alive in strikes. Invisibility + revives is super unfair

But be careful using the invisibility in crucible though.. it makes you ping less on radar, but they can still see you lol.

Soloed nightfall with my hunter till the nexus, then managed to jump to the cheese spot. Got him down to 30% health, all going smooth and then..... a hobgoblin tossed a grenade at my spot with over 9000% accuracy, i got hit, then splash damage from the nexus finished me off. !@#!#$!@#!

Haih.

On the plus side, my first nightfall run with darthvadey yielded me a MIDA. Btw mumukau81 hows the hawkmoon? If you have another character haven't do nightfall, join me tmrw morning around 8 am. Ill attempt it again.

Aite
i have two more characters who haven't done the nightfall

Anyone managed to log in so far? its been down for a day for me. I don't feel so bad though, since xur is only selling NLB. I might buy just one for my collection.

Was supposed to do the nightfall with my friend too.. argh.

better not log out lol.. last i tried i still can't. I'll try again after work.

Sorry, this time my post TLDR.

I was not prepared for what happened today. Booted my ps4 and saw the NF was OmniBullshit. Bummer.. it's almost impossible to solo. Nevertheless i tried with my warlock. First try, booted with error jackrabbit. Second try, booted with error baboon. I then saw one of my friends running the NF with an open slot, and i jumped in. We rocked the NF. His friend who had an icebreaker got another icebreaker 2.0, and i was bummed as i only got a purple pulse rifle which i immediately dismantled.

I then remembered my warlock had 2 raid pieces needing shards. So i went to solo Crota's first chest. And then... BOOM.

With my warlock i opened the chest, fully expecting shards/energies like i always get. Suddenly a loud thunderous sound echoed from my speakers as a bright yellow box emerged on the screen. I was in disbelief. It was the motherflippin GJALLARHORN 2.0! I almost pissed myself. Elated, i loaded my second character to get more shards. BOOM. No Land Beyond. Then my third character. My luck had to be used up for the day. Then BOOM. Another No Land Beyond. I left for work with a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

RNG gods have been kind to me.. i got two gjallarhorns this week. I solo-ed the nightfall with my last two characters with it, and it is insane. Almost felt like a cheese. My loot drops :

1st run - Warlock sunsinger = Time on Target
2nd Run - Titan Defender = a dead orbit fusion rifle (i forgot the name)
3rd run - Hunter bladedancer = GJALLARHORN!

If anyone needs help on the nightfall, add me. I'll be glad to help.

Btw, i cheesed solo'd Crota's raid with all my characters, two until the bridge and one has passed the bridge, before the second chest. If anyone has yet to get it or wants to try for the second chest, do let me know.

My work shift changes next week, so i should be available for raids if there are any night owls here. I want to beat Crota and get the black hammer.

EDIT: seeing as i got two this week, i'm gonna call it; Xur will sell Gjallarhorn this week!

Yea this week seems good. Xur has been disappointing alot of people lately. Hopefully you get your gjallarhorn soon bro, its a great weapon.

Thorn, Suros and Plan C will make you pro. If you don't have any of these, then a good fusion rifle or shotgun will do. Gear/weapon rarity doesn't matter, as long as stats are good e.g. a green auto rifle with good impact + stability will beat the Hard Light, for example.

If Titan, striker + shoulder charge is a good combo. Shoulder charge is 1HKO, and can 'home' on enemies. Watch your radar ALWAYS, and never take corners blindly. In team games, stick to your teammates unless your opponent got heavy ammo or super. BTW, always go for the heavy ammo as it is free kills. Use Machine Gun heavies preferably, unless you're very good with launchers.

Hi guardians, long time no see. My schedule is abit more stable now, so im looking for mates to run VOG or CE as I'm still a newb. I have fully leveled Ice Breakers and Gjallarhorns, and am quite adept at wiping up mobs so i won't be much of a burden.

I'll be playing from 4pm+ till night this month, as long as i dont have any yumcha sessions with my friends. Also, i managed to solo CE abyss as a hunter (Don't touch me gauntlets muahhxxx), so i have the bridge checkpoint if anyone is interested. Only normal mode tho, as i cant access the hard mode due to no completions on normal yet.

PS : If anyone has solo'd the CE raid before, any tips? i want to try soloing the bridge but i can't get the timing right, between forming the bridge and killing the mobs/swordbearer. Also, is there a time limit for the before the sword disappears? Thanks.

Ah i see.. thanks. The hard part is killing the swordbearer, the fella likes to hide behind pillars so i need to learn how to aggro him. I thought of killing him first, then constructing the bridge but seems not enough time. Any idea how long the bridge will last? in the video i watched it seems there is a time limit before the bridge deconstructs.

Thanks for the tips.. will try it as soon as i get home from work.

Yeah plus he can regen health lol

Got it.. Thanks!

EDIT : last question.. does the raid chest piece drop during the abyss and bridge part, or only with crota? I got the gauntlets from the abyss so far.
