given that the big upgrade won't happen until you can get a drop from the hard crota raid it may not be a big thing to get it now.

Thing is, I didn't even know this existed until today so there's a very real chance I've had one and sharded it as a common

is it really worth the hassle?

It's a rare item, starts as common, turns into an exotic by the end.

As for worth the hassle? I would have said yes, but I think if I don't get it in the next few tries I'm giving up.

I've got the 100 headshots bounty on and have been doing 1 headshot per try, I'm just about to complete the bounty, may have been the odd extra headshot every so often, but that's still going on for 70+ attempts now at least

edit: ok that't it, 100 headshots, even went through a few times before getting that last one, and nothing, diddly squat. The RNG gods must hate me. I'm done.

It can drop from any random "blade" hive so the ones you see on patrol etc as well.

You *probably* would have noticed it because it doesn't drop as an engram - it drops like an end of boss reward so you get the chirp/noise and the little square icon appears on the right.

The gun itself is terrible, it takes a clip and a half to take down one (lvl 26) thrall with headshots. You have to hold down on the analogue stick because the stability is terrible too.

What's needed to upgrade it to exotic? didn't realise that only drops on the hard raid?

The gun itself ONLY seems to level when killing Hive. So you can't just equip it when you turn in bounties...you have to go and actively kill low level hive with it.

I'll probably park it until I have my suros and IB levelled up. I'm more interested in raiding than collecting weapons so I only need a few really good ones. The irony was I only started the mission because Wuddie wanted to get it!

I was taking down level 24 knights with one clip although it is piss poor,it only take 1 or 2 shots to take down a thrall, which you can then spam the we woken the hive mission till you get the 400 kills needed to level it up.

That would only take 30 mins or so to get closer to an endgame gun. Worth it IMO although I'd rather have a leveled up icebreaker than a legendary eideon ally

Epic cheese on the daily. Jumped into simo's session as I saw he was on it.

He was enduring the cut scene at the end.

7500 experience, 2 shards, and a blue engram. I didn't even move a control stick.

Sorry about that.
