    Levels don't matter. End of Raid battle is 300, so anything above it is useless. 310 is only helpful for Heroic Raid. For IB, I think its every 10 levels so 290-299 are identical. I rocked it at 295 light, dominated some games here and there.

    Just got to Rank 5 in IB. I got one and a quarter of levels left and did the weekly bounties, turning them in right now gave me 3.4k which was insta max level. Even more if you do this monday, I guess they'll give about 5k then. I played about 6 games per day, doing the daily bounties each time.

    But the Pulse rifle is WORTH IT. Its better than Hopscotch Pilgrim I think, its absolutely OP. Even my 280 shredded in IB. The cloak and boots dropped for me, and IB gear finally has PvP perks. My boots give me a buff when I capture a control point. I don't have the Sidearm yet but I won't spend marks on it.

      This is only my fourth IB, and I've finally got my IB k/d into positive. People have been complaining about drop frequency, but overall it's been quite generous to me. I've had the cloak drop twice, the sidearm drop twice, the pulse once, and the new IB ship - Hebridean Thoughtcrime, that I didn't even know existed, and I've only seen drop once for anyone since Tues:



      Reached level 5 on Friday, so might do all the bounties again to cash-in next IB to reduce grind.

        I'm stuck on the gunsmith warlock quest for the Tlalock. Need to dismantle 10 rare or legendary fusion rifles, do you think I can get even a single green to drop in the last 10 hours? Can I f. Luckily I know the next step is scout rifles so have been storing them in the vault ready. Doesn't help me right now though :/.

          Green engrams are "uncommon", not rare. You'll need blue (or purple) engrams. Strikes drop loads of blues now, so farming the Vanguard Strikes or Vanguard Heroic Strikes playlists will be the best source for those. You should get 3 to 5 blue engrams per strike. Obviously, it's going to be pot-luck if any turn out to be Special weapon engrams...

            I meant I can't even get green fusion rifles to drop, let alone rare or legendary. Did quite a few strike last night and dry as a bone for specials, all arm engrams and leg.

            On the plus side, I killed a random normal enemy and it dropped a legendary primary engram on patrol, that turned into a hakk? auto rifle with feeding frenzy & crowd control, which was a nice surprise.

              Don't you have Year One stuff you can dump? I dismantled year one Timur's Lash for the Handcannon.

              2 legendaries is enough. Or 10 rares.

              I think Court of Oryx yields the most rewards in the shortest timeframe. If there are teams around popping tier 2 or 3 you are filled up with stuff in no time.

                I dismantled my entire vault the week before for weapon parts, didn't have any fusion rifles any way.

                  Holy sh*t, you're not wrong. I've had it for a few days now, but have been running Hawkmoon all week, so decided to try it. I think this thing is going to add at least 0.5 to my k/d. By the next IB, *EVERYONE* is either going to want this weapon or already be using it if they grinded for it this time round.

                    I saw a guy who had it with Feeding Frenzy and Headseeker, which is a perfect replica of my Hopscotch roll. I would want that even more but the odds are incredibly low. The vendor version is top tier though. Braced Frame makes it a laser, you'll want that 100 stability.

                      It's five rares for a Gunsmith challenge, not ten. They count for two each.
                      Kept you waiting, huh?

                        Yes I saw this when I eventually got 1 blue fusion after the entire day. Mind you there's enough quests and bits to distract at the moment that I'd forgotten about it. But still it's slow going. Keep picking up scouts though so they can go towards the next part of the challenge.

                          I See my control stats have changed from 0.5/0.9 kd to 1.6/2.5 kd since I got that IB pulse rifle! Iron sights radar has changed my life 😄 Taikonaut adds it to my lmg also

                            If you nabbed the 'Cult Ghost' from the heroic Paradox mission the other week, it's worth a log in...

                                Taking Atheon down on Normal mode with 6 Sleeper Simulants in about 10 seconds flat, as part of that quest line, is quite a sight to behold.
