This trend has to stop tho
Why are people always surprised that current guns run through old content?

Yea it is higher level so it will melt them pretty quickly. I just find them funny to do when I watch them
I don't really see how that gun would make it easier to clear that Daily for the Black Spindle. If anything, using the exotic swords would fair better in there than the SS.
A good & coordinated group of 3 should be able to clear it without needing either one of those in reality though

Sleeper Simulant >>>>
Some friends and I were doing strikes with it. Nearly every boss died within 30 seconds by unloading our Sleepers.
Valus literally died in like 20 seconds. Taniks died before he teleported to the back. Shield brothers died within 10 seconds each.
Amazing

Yea I watched a video from a guy and he said it is the hardest hitting heavy in the game. Said it should be solely for boss fights and that he will not use anything else other than it for boss fights.

Are the warsats still taking hours to spawn in the patrols and is the website for public events accurate now? I was able to knock out Earth last night, but didn't have time to wait around for Moon and Mars.

Nah they become immune and flee.
When they both came out we took down the smashing guy in like 10 seconds with all 3 of us hitting crits with the Sleeper.
Then went inside the mortar guy's shield bubble and did the same to him. This was on the lvl 36 strike playlist but it wrecks in heroic strikes too.
Makes boss fights feel like you're playing a lvl 36 strike.
Also a tip about the Shield Brothers for those who don't know, you can sort of cheese the one that flies at you trying to smash you.
In the first phase you can just go up to him and crouch. He will try to swing at you but he will not be able to hit you.
You can just unload your shotgun, machinegun, primary, whatever, and quickly get him to flee without you taking any damage.
Wouldn't recommend doing this when they both come out though because the other one will just mortar you to death.

Shot package is gone on all shotguns starting Tuesday when 2.0.1 goes live as per weekly update.
Jon: Hello everyone!
Since the release of Update 2.0, we’ve been analyzing data and listening closely to feedback. A new weapon meta is still settling. While there are some predictions for what people may gravitate towards, we remain in observational orbit.
One piece of community feedback that has been unanimous is that the changes to Shotgun perks were not enough to curb their lethality at extreme ranges in the Crucible. The prevalence of Shot Package on almost every long-range Shotgun has effectively redefined the close-quarters combat experience. Going forward, we’ll continue to dial in Shotgun range.
[Editor’s Note: Shotgun enthusiasts, take a deeeeep breath…]
With the deployment of Update 2.0.1, we will wholesale remove the Shot Package perk from all Shotguns. Any shotgun with Shot Package (depending on the exact weapon) will now have Close and/or Personal, Crowd Control, or Knee Pads. This change has not negatively impacted our PVE playtests.
Even though Shot Package is going away right now, expect to continue seeing Shotguns used to great effect by Crucible warriors. Each Class allows for movement optimizations that let players quickly close gaps. Most PVP maps have great flank routes and tight spaces. Game modes like Control, Salvage, and Rift ask players to converge upon and fight over small spaces to win. With or without Shot Package, even our shortest range Shotguns will continue to be effective death dealers in the hands of a skilled Guardian. With Shot Package on a time-out, we can recalibrate the effective range and research a way to hopefully reintroduce the perk after some time at the work bench.
Good change IMO.
