Destiny: How to beat this weeks nightfall with ease

Here is this weeks Nightfall Strike Walkthrough. This weeks Nightfall is Summoning Pits and the modifiers are:

*Nightfall – If all players die, you will be returned to orbit.

*Epic – Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.

*LightSwitch – Minions of the Darkness deal much more melee damage.

*Angry – Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage

*Arc Burn - Arc Damage from any source is greatly increased

It's the same strikes every week, I think everyone knows how to beat them already...

ABMN4156d ago

I think you know how to beat it. But there are people that are still newish to the game. I make these videos for them.

CorndogBurglar4156d ago

Keep it up man. I like your videos. They've taught me a lot. I've had the game since launch but i know how to beat a lot of the strikes easily from your vids.

kayoss4156d ago

I just got to level 20, but everytime i play the crucible, I could barely get 2 kills. After going 2-25 i avoid the crucible all together. I'm not being cocky or anything but, I was really good in COD. I know Destiny plays differently but its very similar mechanics and requires fast reflexes.

Now, im just having fun playing the strike playlist. thanks for the video, this will come in handy.

@kayoss

I'm with you. I completely suck in the Crucible. It's probably best to stick with the team CTF mode (can't remember the exact name right now) or just deal with sucking really bad until you can really get used to the layout of the maps.

I really think map knowledge is the key to any multiplayer FPS. In many games knowing where pickups spawn greatly helps - in Destiny's case it is knowing where the Secondary and Heavy ammo spawn points are or having one of the three Exotic weapons that are Secondary-types used in the Primary weapon slot.

The free-for-all modes tend to have very small maps so hand cannons+[fusion rifles/shotguns]+rocket launchers tends to be a very effective combo. Machine guns are useless in PvP because of their low DPS compared to Rocket Launchers; they also lack the splash damage. Sniper Rifles are only good on the team maps since they have larger open areas. In terms of Primaries, it comes down to what you're comfortable with, but personally I like hand cannons for the fact they take up very little of the screen while sighting and have a high damage per shot (even more with headshot bonuses).

TheOnlyMastrx4155d ago

I am newish, too newish, only 27 on my Titan, thanks for the videos even though I probably won't be using them for a while.

BootyBandit4155d ago (Edited 4155d ago )

Fate Bringer *arc, Efrideets Spear *arc and Radegast's Fury *arc (Iron Banner sniper and rocket launcher). The Radegast 1 shots Ultra Hallowed Nights and almost 1 shots Ultra Wizards.

You don't have to go out into the hallway with the waves if you have heavy and a syn or 2. On the 3rd wave we pinned the wizards coming out of the door from the back right corner of the room. probably the easiest nightfall I've done in weeks. Only the Nexus, depending on the burn, compares with how easy it is. Both the Summing Pits and Nexus are a cake walk. The weekly is even easier with arc burn and no shields.

I got 10 strange coins (yay, not!), 8 shards and a Hawkmoon. I didn't need any of them but I always want the multiplier for the week.

I scored 2 Red Deaths off of the VOG tonight so that made up for it. It was the only gun that alluded me. Now I have them all. Hopefully tomorrow I will score the Crux of Crota to get my Necrochasm.

Don't be like that. There are plenty of people that got the game for the holidays that have never played this strike on Nightfall.

Linkz9734156d ago (Edited 4156d ago )

Honestly some people think it's all about them smh. There are new players everyday and new people finding nightfalls difficult. Also having a different prespective from differ players depending on their style is not a bad thing.

cell9894155d ago

What a selfish person, as if no one over Christmas got the game right? anyway nice strategy, this is one of my fave strikes.

VforVideogames4155d ago

Destiny game is like Driveclub : lots of news but nobody cares.

It there a matchmaking for the co-op stuff now?

ChozenWoan4156d ago

Of cooooarse....
...
...
not.

Bungie wants you to be forced to beat Nightfall on your friends time, not yours.

nucky644156d ago

this is the reason I never got destiny. I was so interested in it - but no matchmaking??? WTH?

Dread4156d ago (Edited 4156d ago )

@Nucky

Destiny has matchmaking for Strikes, Crucible and Iron Banner Tornament.

it does not have matchmaking of nightfall, and Raids.

To be honest, as a seasoned player, I think it would be a real mess to play Raids in regular matchmaking. It might work for nightfall though.

happy gaming.

Linkz9734156d ago

smh not yet honestly I can't stand the no matchmaking system

WildArmed4155d ago

Everything has matchmaking except the (1) Raid (2) Nightfall /weekly strikes (once a week) (3) Daily Stories (...daily?)

The strikes and story missions should really have match making.

Oh wait, NONE of the story has match making too, just so I don't give out false hope.

Strikes, crucible and some events have matchmaking.

It's pretty silly. Everything but the Raid really should have some sort of matchmaking.

Anonymous20244155d ago (Edited 4155d ago )

Even the raid should have matchmaking despite all of the excuses made against including it, there is no reason for it not being an option at all for those who would want to try it. Sensible matchmaking requirements, or at the very least dedicated lobby areas with better ways to communicate with players in-game, would be a vast improvement over the current setup that relies entirely on third-party sites to organize access to some of the games most important content.

KyRo4156d ago

shoot him until his chains are broke, run back into the door way and snipe him until he drops. I'm suprised they haven't moved the shieriker to the other corner of the room to stop this tactic tbh.

Cra2yey34156d ago

That would cause an uproar. It's too late to change it now.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast642d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole642d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_642d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981642d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140642d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85642d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj642d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman642d ago (Edited 642d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake642d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn642d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg642d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07641d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom642d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac642d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake642d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark642d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde642d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125641d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
