I Did A -50 Mythic Mission With No Loot. Destiny 2 Needs Some Help.
Tbh I just want to post this video to fucking rant about this. This is the most worthless, time consuming and awful mission(s) I've ever played in Destiny 2. I don't know who the fuck in Bungie think this is a good idea to introduce a -50 MYTHIC DIFFICULTY MISSION WITH NO LOOT AT EVERY SINGLE ENCOUNTER COMPLETION, EVEN AFTER THE END.
Let's be clear, I'm not against the idea of having a super difficult PATROL area for us to explore. This is a brand new idea that I'm super excited for Bungie to keep experimenting with. But this is WAY OVER-TUNED for a destination, with not enough loot to incentivize players to actually stay in Mythic and just keep playing Encore over and over again. Everything in -50 is a bullet sponge, every single primary in the game (including exotics) is horrible here. You are FORCED to run double special if you want to actually finish anything (or use the new scout). Red bars for primaries feels like a champion for no reason, orange bar feels like a miniboss, if you meet a bane miniboss? Yeah, good luck getting 2 shot by it while you are doing literally 0 damage, now I know what you will be saying: then use special weapons! You even made a video praising double special and saying how good they are! No. The new ammo system is HORRIBLE for average players to navigate because they generate so little ammo now, with the famous rocket sidearm and area-denail GL bugged right now to receive less ammo than intended. On top of that, -50 is still too difficult for double special to handle, and I'll tell you right now that you'll have a lot of ammo issues if you don't play it right or have the right build. Even the build that I use here, it has a whopping 183 weapon (after grabbing a orb with the font mod active) stat for a 82% chance to get a large ammo brick (which is just the normal one we get in the past), special + heavy ammo finder for increased meter progress, a 103% increased damage for my finality auger that I have to remind you, has nearly the HIGHEST total damage for a heavy weapon ( numbers taken from Aegis' spreadsheet on sustained tab), which still runs out all my ammo near the end. This is how horrible the Mythic difficulty truly is. Not just for solo.
What's the way out? How should you handle Mythic? First of all, I think ability damage in -50 is the king here. So, try to make a build that heavily use abilities that can scale with the new stat to have the highest damage possible. Your weapons should be centered around surviving and utility for ability to shine. ANYTHING with attrition orbs or Glaive are good. Second, I want you to make 2 builds, 1 for add clear, and the other is mainly for boss damage. the add clear build should be very easily snowballed that can handle nearly everything with ease, like roaring frame throw hammer with the new exotic on solar titan (or the classic consecration prismatic titan), getaway artist warlock on prism or the new starfire protocol fusion grenade build on solar (just remember to stack as many grenade stat as you can, using font mods is recommended for 200 grenade stat for 60% increased damage). Liar's handshake prism hunter, or inmost+cyrtarachne with combination blow x3 to spam grapple to one shot nearly everything (get grenade stat to over 100, best if near 150~200 range because it provides way higher stacking damage than melee stat when used with grapple, font mods is recommended here for getting to that range). For boss damage build, you should have something that DON'T REQUIRE ANY SETUP OR MINIMUM SETUP. For Titan, bolt charge arc titan with the reworked crest of lupi is a great setup. Put down a barricade and starts shotting enemies with it to get constant healing and more class ability, just remember to not put it near where the boss can easily hit your barricade with to break it too quick. For Warlock, Getaway Artist is still really good here, and there's video guide on Esoterickk's (the goat) channel for solo mythic mission so you can copy his build there, just remember to get grenade, super and weapon stat at 100 (with super and weapon OVER 100 is recommended for higher song of flame damage, font mods is NOT recommended here as you want to spam grenade as much as possible). For Hunter, any Cyrtarachne exotic class item roll is good if you want to go for an aggressive play style, or just want to stay alive. The best is use grapple + combination blow x3 + one-two punch shotgun with Cyrtarachne+inmost light to have the same damage as a Tcrash super, but as a melee.
BTW I have some background music on because I'm so sick and tired of this lol and I need some of it to keep me calm (idc about copyright lmao)
