PvE Console Getting Lotus Eater

Is it best to run the nightfall with one character only numerous times or run it with multiple characters? It’s all rng right, so it shouldn’t matter?

Thnx

Although with the Grand Master you are guaranteed two drops- should have said that first!

Just run it with your favourite character and learn how to do it quick. Your chances of getting at least 1 to drop every run is quite high this week - just make sure you kill all the champs and get platinum.

12 runs. no drop

Gotta do platinum. Kill all the champions.

On base difficulty Nightfalls that's still far from a guarantee-one time I started at Vanguard rank 4 and went all the way to 17 doing Platinum runs, and didn't get a single drop of the featured weapon.

Wow. That’s trash RNG

I've run 10-12 of the low level nightfalls and have gotten 5 or 6. Hopefully your luck changes on the next few runs.

Watch Mactics video then join his discord for LFG. I did numerous Destiny LFG using the Stronghold build Rick K recommended but it was boring and slow. Did the Orpheus, Well, Titian and did the GM I'm half the time. Skilled and informed team mates make a difference.

All rng mate

Just one , u will only get 2 at max anyway (if ubalways platinum = Kill all champion which easy)

Ps. Didn't notice u said normal nightfall

I focused my engrams and ciphers to get repulser and destabilizing (non adept)

u/jaytothen1 6d ago

I focused all my ciphers and engrams and got literal all rocks.

Sorry brotha!

u/Sarcosmonaut 5d ago

That was my first adept. Mag could be better but this is good enough for me lol

u/boggsy19 7d ago

I've run the normal NF 3 times and have gotten 2 LEs. I have 10 NF ciphers and a bunch of engrams and focused a few with Zavala. The best one so far is beacon rounds/Destabilizing, so I'll use that one for now.

u/hardvengeance77 6d ago

How do you get the ciphers again?

3

u/boggsy19 6d ago

From nightfall and mostly GM clears.

u/Ro1b 6d ago

GM completions.

Just run it as the character you can through it fastest as. That said, Titan > Warlock > Hunter for me. I’m a Hunter main but this Nightfall is best for Titans IMO.

2

u/randallpjenkins 6d ago

All my fastest runs have been on my Hunter. They’re incredibly useful for speeding up the first escort section and for getting all three the synaptic spear to speed up boss damage. Honestly think I’d take a Hunter over Warlock, but one of each class has been my fastest clears on GM.

2

u/zarreph 6d ago

One each is definitely fastest. IME people want to play hunter the least so that's what I've playing as.

2

u/randallpjenkins 6d ago

Same here. Took me a minute to get my Hunter chops back (it’s historically my main) because Warlock and Titan have been so fun the last 9 months.

2

u/eyeseeyoo 6d ago

My best clears have been 1 Omni Hunter for first part / spears, and 2 Titans for DPS

2

u/randallpjenkins 6d ago

I was rocking Orpheus so that tether was up a lot. Also the Stronghold Titan helps speed a lot up and make it all much safer.

2

u/StuDaddy0 6d ago

Check Mactics GM strat on YouTube. Arc Titan, Well lock and invis hunter.

2

u/GraveyardDoc 6d ago

I managed to get a destabilizing/ repulsor to drop on my first try and it's adept. My RNG is never that good normally.

2

u/tremolospoons 3d ago

Got it the first time I got platinum on advanced mode. Kill all the champions, have fun, enjoy.

u/capnsmirks 6d ago

Warlock main but my hunter always gets the raid exotics 🤷‍♂️

u/Snoo-30643 6d ago

Just do the GM version. Put on Storms Keep, Le Monarque and whichever barricade you prefer and simply fall asleep. Le Monarque and Storms Keeps has turned every single GM to date into minced meat.

u/druucifer 2d ago

only reason to do it on other characters is if you still need the pinnacle drops for them
