That Merciless bounty is brutal. It's hard getting 9 enemies to kill quickly, particularly if you're playing with randoms. You can't even load into the nightfall solo and go to a public area, like you could when it was the Rainbow medals you needed and the nightfall was the Nexus.

Apparently I got one primary requirement done and I am guessing this was from the thralls on the footbridge to Aluk-Hul's prison. Looks like we have the PvE equivalent to Shaxx's Rift bounty. Speaking of the Nexus, I swear Sho'oulth no longer spawns at Ishtar Commons because the Nexus strike has been updated and people could use the Taken to cheese the scoring. And for those wondering, you can attain Nova Mortis and Abaddon if you missed out on the festive gifts. A 'collectible' randomly drops from a killed enemy that gives the schematics for Nova Mortis. This happened with my Titan yesterday, though I already had the exotics on my Warlock so I collected the free Exotic Shards since I was farming strikes anyway.

I finished the entire bounty on one character; I was in a full fireteam and we got Malok in the strike playlist. We had one person kill all of the Taken Psions at the beginning and wiped repeatedly.

Got it done on 1 all with randos; fuck the other 2. Too much work.
The Hellacool bridge is one spot. Another spot is on the Splicer priest when the gate opens and you go into the silos.
I used Zhalo and Juju so I wouldn't reload as much (Ntte too would work) a solar sidearm with a sidearmreloader . For heavy, a nontracking rl worked.
As for theIcebreaker, 0 for 12 now. Got a 400 fwc scout, 400 comedian and 400 who the fuck cares because it wasn't an Icebreaker.
Oh, and my NF rewards: 11 3oC, a 400 ghost (seriously, dis game fuck) and 11 3oC

To be honest, I don't use Icebreaker much so it's probably not the gun it was in year 1. You lose out on DPS on bosses because of the slow charge rate for ammo and you can pick up special ammo. Plus, my exotic slot is usually reserved for a heavy. If it is a special then it's Telesto.

It's only real use is to taunt people who haven't gotten it yet.

Even the strike bounties will encourage people to not use the Ice Breaker because not everyone can get the special kills with it fast enough. I've seen more fusion rifles in SIVA strikes recently. The only strike I could see it being helpful is The Wretched Eye, but that means combating the horrific flinch from Kovik (thanks to the crybabies in the Crucible who try to challenge snipers head-on with small arms outside of their intended range), and you lose your radar when scoped in so the Ogre is more of annoyance than it already is.

Yay me. And eff you too. Welp,it dropped for me after I cashed in a NF bounty last night. Yay me. Now your clear duty is to use it exclusively when you are partied up with markopolo. And eff you three. He won't, because then he can't use his Lord of Wolves, so neener neener neener Pretty much.

Any of the y1 redone strikes (Nexus, Taniks, Archon Priest) are all Icebreakerable. Not to mention the new Phogoth too. Not to mention Rockets McDickface or the Shield Brothers parts 1 and 2.... or any strike with airborne and solar burn modifiers with a floating in the air perk

What was weird, was that the IB dropped at 370LL, not 400. Had to infuse it with the Taken shotty that also dropped.

Awwwww pumpkin........... schnoogie woogie woogie had to give up a rare, 400 special weapon to infuse into his Icebreaker to make it 400. Believe me, the sacrifice you have shown and the dedication you are displaying to push back the Darkness and all the enemies of the Tower will not go unnoticed by Commander Zavalla. I bet he'll even give you that rare, special wink that he saves for Shaxxx when he leans you, and the other Titans under his command, over the table for a special "debriefing session", then shoves his hard, throbbing Awoken "Fabian Strategy" right into your "Twilight Gap." Zavalla might even take Banshie's advice and keep his thing oiled, guardian

EDIT: and if anything, it would have been the calendar reset that allowed you to buy your dink pills again that did it... #FeastThenFamine EDIT: remember, just because you can fit half a prescription's worth in your mouth at one time, doesn't mean you should.

My only debate is to shard the 2 y1 icebreakers I have when I get their y3 versions... at first I thought I would, but I never sharded my y1 gjallies or Thorns when I got their respective y3 versions.... so why shard my beloved y1 Icebreakers?

Not to mention Rockets McDickface or the Shield Brothers parts 1 and 2.... or any strike with airborne and solar burn modifiers with a floating in the air perk Shield Brothers where getting precision damage is a pain in the butt? I'd be using the Gjallarhorn for that strike. You can use Icebreaker on the other strikes but I'd rather use a decent legendary sniper rifle because they have a larger ammo capacity. Time you get to shoot 12 shots with the Icebreaker, my solar 1000-Yard Stare would have got about 24 shots off with time to spare because of Triple Tap, Casket Mag, and Spray and Play. I can see Icebreaker being handy for Phogoth, although I tend to use Raze-Lighter for that bullet sponge knight that spawns with the Sword of the Pit. Would like to see a new modifier buffing heavy damage but make it so it is excluded from solar burn. Arc and heavy burn for the Weekly Heroics could see Bolt-Caster being used for once.
