So you finally took my advice and joined the conversation.    Soocold and I have been playing since launch so we're leveled up pretty well.  I'm at level 28.  Soocold is a would be 28 if he had enough material to upgrade his armor.  Don't get all hung up at your level on leveling up weapons and stuff.  Pick 3 weapons that work for you and keep replacing them as you level up with higher class weapons.  Same with armor.  If it's higher class, use it but don't spend a lot of time worrying about it.  At level 20 the game really begins and that's when you should worry about weapons and armor.  Don't buy ships.  Don't buy stuff that doesn't actually help your character at this point.  Wait for that stuff.  Just focus on leveling up.  Bounties are your friend.  Grab bounties that can be applied while you're doing story missions to level up quicker.

Yup. That's all I'm working on. I'm pulling the items I can and just swapping weapons for the higher ones as I acquire them.

Just got a ascendant shard as a lvl 4

[SamuriHL]

That's definitely the way to go.  I beat the game fairly quickly.  But leveling has taken me a month to get to 28.  And it's going to take even longer to get to 29.  Plus exotics are a pain in the ass to acquire.  If you manage to get strange coins, motes of light, or any ascendant shards/energy you have our permission to do a happy dance.  LOL

My point exactly.  Happy dance.  LOL

I know it's nothing special... But here's my current setup

Its kind of funny making a new character. With your main high lvl, you are always wanting blue or gold, with the new low lvl character your begging for green lol.

[SamuriHL]

Go to your main character and buy some crap in the gunstore, stick it in the vault, and use it for your new character.  

[Thach]

I already have lol

[soocold]

OK now I'm 28. Literally all my armor is waiting on shards to upgrade.

Another note on armor. Keep a watchful eye on the perks the armor gives. My helm is exotic and made for the striker class, which I prefer. My chest armor is legendary and hold extra ammo for scout, and sniper rifles, which I also prefer.

Got another exotic bounty tonight. Going for that fusion rifle. Kinda pissed right now too. Had 9 rare fusion rifles on me and in my vault, need 10 to dismantle for this bounty and go figure, not one damn drop in the 10 strikes I did.

On a good note, I'm now lvl 29. Upgraded 2 pieces of gear fully, still have one to go.

Don't get me started.  That's what I've been working on for 2 days.  The gun guy FINALLY had rare fusion rifles in stock and I ran out of glimmer.  Had to farm glimmer and finally got it.  Now I just need to do the 200 kills in weekly strike, which, of course, changes tomorrow.  I got about 20 some odd kills before I logged off for the night.  You do NOT have to finish the strike to get credit for the kills.  But you must be in a no respawn area.

This weeks nightfall is the cosmadrone which is one of my favorite strikes. Should at least enjoy the grind lol.

[SamuriHL]

Perfect! That should be fairly straightforward to get my fusion rifle on then. Soocold is waiting for xur to return. Xur is kind of a lazy ass... Only working 2 days a week and all. Lmao.

Just read the changelist for this week's update.  They nerfed the autorifle and mythoclast.  Plus shotgun range.  They fixed a "bug" in VoG that allowed some interesting....solutions...to occur. But they didn't fix bad juju.  OTOH, they did increase the damage on scout rifles so my legendary toy should prove more effective now.  I need to swap the buffs around a bit and re-increase the max ammo on that thing as that is bad ass.  Hoping to finish up my exotic fusion rifle today.  That will make me very very happy.

[Thach]

I saw these update notes too and hope that it makes the Mida Multitool scout rifle more useful. Just doesn't pack the punch you'd expect it to.

[SamuriHL]

Bad juju (pulse rifle) is WAY WAY underpowered.  My rare autorifle was more useful.

Mine's not fully upgraded yet but I'm working on it.  Now that it's a new week I can work on more bounties again to level up.  Plus I'll have that pocket infinity fusion rifle.  Which, apparently, has some interesting abilities when it's leveled up.  MUAHAHA.

[Thach]

Got that damn exotic fusion rifle unlocked. Didn't take as long as I thought it would getting the kills in the weekly strike.
