Defeating Goblins

Shooting a Goblin in the head you will not kill it, it will only stun the Goblin briefly before it then charges towards you. To kill a Goblin you need to aim for the glowing white core in it's chest. This in not easy to do as Goblins will crouch to protect their weak spot with their heads.


Infusing Armor & Weapons

Before the April 2016 update, when you infused your weapons and armor, they was done on a scale, so say you had a weapon with 300 power, and you had a higher weapon at 310. You like the 300 power weapon better. Before, infusing this weapon would only make it a 306. Because of the system Bungie created.

Now after the update, you can infuse a higher Weapon OR Armor to a weaker power, and it turns into the same power as the infused weapon or armor. Say I had a 320 boots, just got a 280 Bones of EAO for my hunter to wear. Infuse the 320 boots to my 280 boots, they are now 320.

I hope this little hint helps any Destiny player understand the change with the April update. It made getting your light level way easier. Max light sits at 335 as of this Hint was submitted, chan..


The Spark

Heads up for any new gamer playing Destiny. When you buy the video game, you will have a product known as a Spark, what it does is boost your character to level 25 so you don't have to do a majority of the work getting to level 40 and catching up.

The kicker, you only get 1. They don't tell you that part. So when you get it make sure it's getting applied to the character you want it to whether it's the Hunter, Titan or Warlock.


The Gjallarhorn

The Gjallarhorn is returning. Some maybe confused by all the pre-order push. You do not have to pre-order Rise of Iron to get the legendary Gjallarhorn. The pre-order gives you the special edition silver and black edition. If not pre-ordered you get the same standard Gjallarhorn from year 1.

As well as recently announced, pre-ordering Rise of Iron now also will get your hands on a new sparrow announced as the Gjallarwing. So my tip of advice if you are a major Destiny fan like myself. Pre-order and get these special edition items, they are worth it. Rise of Iron is only $30 USD. It's a rather hefty DLC somewhat close to The Taken King, but smaller. Larger than The House of Wolves and that was a decent sized DLC itself.


Using the Plates at Death Singers and Oryx

There are 4 plates while you reach the last two checkpoints of the game, the Death Singers and Oryx. You will see the relic above one of the 4 plates. The plate that the relic sits over, does not have to be activated.

That means, that you just need 3 plate hoppers and 2 on controlling the enemies. Then of course you have the 1 that is torn. You can use this during the Death Singers and Oryx fight. Good luck!


No Knights Strat - King's Fall Oryx Hard Mode Raid

The No Knight Strat is fairly simple. Instead of killing down the Ogre's as soon as they spawn, try this out with your next Fire team.

Have your 1, 2, 3 designated plate players do what they do activating the plates accordingly. Have them sit back so they cannot be shot by any enemies.

The torn guy will do everything normal, jump his way to the relic. Take out the knight and meet the team on the top where the death singers was sitting. You will go to the one opposite of Oryx.

The 2 that are on Ogre control while they is going on will weaken the Ogre's, not killing them. Everyone meets up, shoots Oryx to make him flinch.

Once that is completed, kill the Ogre's fast. Detonate the black orbs. Meet back in center and shoot Oryx until the wave is c..
