Having ran the entire quest solo, including getting Fabled, the best advice I can give for other solo players is don't be discouraged when you run into a 4 stack. Unless it's a recov account chances are that 4 stack wont be the super sweats everybody thinks they are. With how matchmaking in Comp works, a 4 stack gets matched with heavy bias towards the player with the highest amount of points (tocom himself said this to me on Twitter) and as a result the 4 stack you come up against will more than likely on average be below yours and your blueberries rank. In fact, it got the point where if I saw a 4 stack I had more confidence in my blueberries to know what they were doing and 80% of the time I was right in my prediction. This is all coming from someone who ran with a sniper the entire time as well and on that note don't ever feel like you HAVE to run a shotgun. If you prefer, and have confidence, in your ability to snipe or use a fusion rifle or neither by running double primaries then it's way better for you to stick to that then try to mimic the shotgunners and potentially being a detriment to your team. Shotgunning isn't difficult but knowing when to use it as well as overall decision making is a different beast entirely and both of those things will change if you run a loadout that you're not comfortable with or not as practiced with. Lastly, leave the salt at the door. Getting annoyed at your blueberries or opponents helps no one, least of all yourself. We all have that one gamemode we hate *cough*countdown*cough* but don't let that influence you. You're there to win, not to throw salt and annoyance. If you start getting tilted or you lose a couple of games in a row take a step back and take a break, do some bounties or get some food. Going in with a negative mindset is one of the most determining factors when it comes to winning or losing. So those are my three cents as someone who solo queued for the Luna's Howl.
Phil Meeks Was thinking the same thing. Lol I like the guy’s attitude, but he mentions the win streaks so casually like everyone gets them pretty easily. Lol
My biggest recommendation would be, if you start losing a lot, just quit for the day/night and come back to it. Also, do the minimum three games every week for the bonus, it's free points.
The bonus is tied to your rank. Brave is 80, Heroic is 60 and Fabled is 40. And so on. Also the loss amount decreases as you move up in rank. I was losing 30 then 26 when I got to Fabled. Idk about the higher ranks like Mythic and Legend since I stopped once I got Luna.
I just got mine last night! I ran into two other players who were struggling on the last step as I was, and we ended up just teaming up and grinding out the biggest win streak I’ve ever had in comp. our lowest was 1744 and he managed to get his Luna’s as well. All three of us got ours lol. The grind for it was fun, everything felt rewarding, every step progression, win, and ultimately Luna’s.
He isn't wrong, seems like when I would finally explode after getting mapped by a telesto for the millionth time, everything really went down hill, and my bad attitude would bring down my teammates as well.
I duoed to 2100 then 4 stacked way to 5500 and Not Forgotten. It is a lot easier than last season so don't fear Guardians, listen to CoolGuys tips and grind away!
I think you either overestimate how good everyone is or underestimate how good you and your friends are. You did everything in 63 matches? How many kills per game were you averaging? Must've been well into double digits each time, which I would wager is well above average.
I did a minimum of three games a week for the bonus points but if I was on a streak I played more. Once I had fabled I had to get 100 headshots so I went in solo. Got Luna’s howl in about 6 weeks
got mine in around 3 weeks did just playing with teams, did every quest step in either a day or two, but college so my grind to fabled was a bit slow😂, didnt get my lunas till 2300 since I was still in headshots
I kept playing until I got tired of comp. hours and hours. Never went on a loss streak more than 2 and got it done in like 4 days. I had time luckily but by no means am I a great player. Just gotta grind
CoolGuy, just wanted to say thanks for this video. Shaxx handed me Luna a few minutes ago. You're a baller and a class act, and, although I'm late to the party, I owe this moment in no small part to you. Thanks for doing what you do
Also to the solo players out there don’t get discouraged either. I went in to comp hoping to get finish up the starting quest steps and reach fabled at another time; however I ended up going on a 20 ish win streak by myself. After that I was winning some and losing some but I was still growing in rank. I think part of the frustration is that people just want a quick way to fabled; it’s not quick it takes a while and that’s okay. Before I got my Luna’s I would some time just play 4 to five games win 3 or 4 and lose a little bit. By all means it is much slower progress but it is still progress. I got Luna’s completely solo with the exception of playing once or twice with another person. This is completely possible for a lot of people. Just don’t freak out if you lose. If you lose a game just quit out of comp for the day and retry tomorrow. Happy grinding guardians
Yohann Jardiniano you do realize that you had insanely amount of luck with your quest? It is not the norm to win 20 games in a row especially with skill based matchmaking unless you are a god in pvp with a 4kd and a win ratio of like 80percent and you can carry whole teams on your own. Most people have win ratios around 50 percent thats quite the norm with skill based match making and with that in mind it is very unlikely to start out with like 20 wins in a row unless you have luck like crazy.
dan Halo not gonna lie I got some extreme luck with my games. I got the sweaty games here and there more so when I was pushing 1800+ but I just played with my team and didn’t try to be hero if you know what I mean
Ran the majority of it as a duo, nothing too serious. Made rank earlier than we expected. Teamed up when possible, but ran the other steps (last few solar and headshots) headshots I found a little rough. Lost a few, got easier games. Got some kills. Won a few them couldn't get away from fabled rank. Team's with all lunas, or teams with 2 or 3 luna and others more than happy to shotgun. It was rough but well worth it. Personally I'm not great in crucible, so for those scared to try out comp, don't be. Give it a go. To those on the run keep with. Good luck to you all.
This just popped back into my recommendations after watching it when you first posted. This video got me to play comp for the first time and I got Luna, recluse, and revoker because of it. Thanks Coolguy for pushing me to try.
I would like to preface this by saying that I do quite thoroughly enjoy CoolGuy's content, and this comment is not intended to be rude or insulting. That said, I find it hard to take this video as seriously. You (CoolGuy) were able to speed past the Fabled step, something that ends up being the most stressful part of the quest, due in part to your team. By no means am I saying that this is a bad thing, but you more or less jumped past the part that many of the people who would want to watch a "You can do this!" video on Luna's need that pep talk for. I say this from experience, after being no closer to finishing the Fabled step than I was a month ago when I started grinding. However, I'm sure doing those other steps must have felt like hell to do with the higher prevalence of Luna's and Forgottens once you hit Fabled. Props on that. Apologies if this comment comes off as negative, it's just something I felt needed to be said. Best of luck out there, everyone.
Honestly the best advice I have I got it from one of true vanguards videos. For someone like me (and I imagine that’s the case for a lot of players) going back into comp was scary, you’re really scared of going on a huge loss streak but the best thing that I did was not even worrying about reaching fabled. Not caring for winning or losing made the quest actually really fun to me, I was focused on getting the other steps done, even if I lost a couple of games I was focused on advancing towards the next step of the quest. By the time I was on the hand cannon headshot kills I was already on fabled (and I soloed or duoed most of the quest)... so basically the best advice I have at least what really worked for me, was actually not caring about fabled or even the grind of the quest itself. Going with the mentality that you’ll get there eventually no matter what really made it fun for me... I’m not sure if I’ll grind for the not forgotten (mainly because I don’t think I’m good enough to get it) but I do know that the Luna’s is actually possible to get if you invest the time and 2 or 3 weeks!
For the quest, I recommend getting malfeasance if youve killed the primeval. If not, then trust is good too. They are just luna’s howls with one more shot to kill
Man I'm glad someone else loves the Duke too. Just got my Luna's Howl tonight and I pretty much used the Duke exclusively for my HC headshots. Such a great gun, especially with a group that is coordinating and team-shotting. I had a lot of easy precision deletions as well.
KC Orby Honestly, the hand cannon headshots were harder for me. Once I got out of the weapon kill parts, I could go back to any weapon load out so I just used an energy shotgun and bygones and then climbed my way up to fabled by playing casually. When I faced a Luna stack I just switched to a blast furnace and outranked them and memed them into the ground.
KC Orby getting to fables was actually the easiest part of the quest, headshots for sure took the longest. I mean what I did was look for people to play comp while I was doing the quest, then find a good team by doing that, then fabled comes easy
@black manta it's called lag compensation. Someone ELSE on the team had bad wifi so what the peer-to-peer servers bungie keeps in the game do is they "bell-curve" everyone's wifi, so like the ppl with great internet get nerfed a bit and the ppl with bad wifi get buffed a little so that everyone can feel included and snowflakey. Dedicated servers would be better especially since it would protect against DDoS attacks, not just lag switching and stuff, but that would reduce the player base, and from a business standpoint, you wanna keep as many people in the game as potential microtransaction/DLC/season pass/whatever tf customers/players.
back then when this video was new: you were able to do this with so much patience that you never had before in your entire life because when I tried getting it in year 2 9/10 matches were losses today: freelance is your goddamn friend! got it in 3 days and it's easily possible in one day
Freelance is a godsend, the only tough part is going against everyone using Luna’s while still using Trust. It’s still all about skill with the game, but not having Luna’s at this point does add to the grind.
@@Chim510 huh? luna isn't even a big deal anymore it has a 0.80 ttk like most weapons do tho just grab a good spare rations or mby a bygones and you're good i think
Apologies for commenting on an old video. Just wanted to highlight that the way solo queue in freelance comp is now so much easier now than before. Your video on hand cannon's effective range regardless of stat bar really helped a lot. I only used 180 throughout the whole quest step. And I can see why they nerfed the RPM on the luna's. Now that I got it, time to put it into the vault. oh yeah. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great guide. I'm glad you did post it. As of right now, I still am on part 2. I'm around Brave (only due to the boost everyone got). I have yet to get a single Duke or Trust, so my 3 options are Crimson (what I've been using), a Better Devils (Timed Payload/Moving Target, my only Devils), and a trash roll Ten Paces I only keep because it's the only one I have (I'm a weekend warrior, not by choice). When I can renew my Gold subscription, this is the first thing I go back to (I've been using Right Side of Wrong as my energy and POTG as my heavy, with Way of the Wraith). I can't wait to see the Luna review!
It's definitely possible as a solo player. My advice is go for hand cannon kills/headshots as early as possible and worry about fabled later. I've made it to 2300 but still need precision kills I'll be lucky to get 3 a match and at higher glory if you're not a handcannon main you'll likely be a detriment to your team.
You know what's dumb? The lack of logic and grammar in your statement. Try clearly conveying your point, instead of saying "this is a dumb advice" and then tossing together words incoherently. That doesn't validate your insinuation.
Kreau no it is not, literally every fool and his mother brought up this same 'advice' whenever someone on RUclips talked about the Lunas quest. You always hear the same thing "i didn't do it myself because i was at 2100 points to soon but you definitely should finish the other quest steps before even care about the points" but this is a dumb pointless advice those people never question why they themselfe not acted accordingly to their own advice. But the answer is very simple people want fist and for most certainty that their efforts are even worth anything at the end all those other quest steps are worth nothing when you can't reach the 2100 at the end so clearly people will try to go for this step first especially because once you reached the 2100 it is not important if you loose some points after.
A) I wasn't saying your comment was made on unfounded logic. I was simply saying it was poorly written and didn't present an articulated argument B) I don't know where you think the video remarked that the advice being given was the best way or most efficient way, it was simply stated to be the easiest way for skilled players (emphasis on skilled) to complete the quest. They can literally throw games and just focus on getting the kills they need on all the low ranked casuals that are surely flooding Guardian and Brave before taking the time to pursue the rank. He wasn't saying that his advice was the best means to go about doing it, it's simply the least stressful approach in HINDSIGHT, which I can attest to, having gotten it two and a half weeks after Forsaken's release. P.S. you should work on your speech. It's tedious to have to decipher what you're saying when you butcher your own remarks.
Hey CoolGuy, just had this video get algorithmed into my feed. Just made me think, this stuff was peak D2 PvP. The quest, + Not Forgotten and Unbroken, was long, challenging, and rewarding. Great content too, I remembering watching it way back in the day, and it certainly helped. We've come a. long way, and I fear, not necessarily for the better. GGs as always though.
@@lostinlucidity Have you completed the other quest steps? if not do them now, you don't have to worry about your rank anymore if you reached fabled at least once, if you have completed the other steps it might just glitch a bit; go to the tower and back to orbit, it should then check of the quest step and tell you to go to shaxx, a friend of mine I played with also had that issue of not imediatly getting the step completed and this worked for him
I’m so glad you made it clear that I don’t have to be at Fable once the quest is complete. My clan and I got to Fable super fast then I went solo and have been grinding the quest to finish up. I went from 2700 to 2500 and I was so stressed about about dropping under it and having to go back and grind for fabled.
Just got this last night! I'm nothing special when it comes to crucible so if I can do it so can you! Just keep at it! Also, if you are playing solo, watch the "evaluating guardians" count when you are finding a game. If it goes up by 4, ( for example of you went from 1 to 5 or from 2 to 6 players etc) know that you are most likely up against a 4 stack and act accordingly. You can still leave matchmaking as long as it doesn't hit 8/8 and you start flying.
Will try this. This grind is fucking frustrating. I cant get to hero yet and it been 2 fucking weeks! But thanks for this tip cause I notice I fare much better when I'm against solo players.
I'll break it down further... Sometime's ill start the que and it'll jump by 3.... I think to myself, ok, there's a 3 stack... if there's another 3 stack joining, then cool... it's two teams of 3 and there will be me and another dude solo... that's about a 50/50 win rate in the long run if a 3 stack joins and then its just goes "4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8... then just back out... your going all solos vs a 3 stack.... not very fair same applies if you see 2 people join... keep an eye out for more pairs and stacks of 3 or 4... do the math quickly and you'll eventually be able to curate what type of groups your playing against... (for the most part anyway)
Yes so true the most people I personally accept to get added in a bulk are 2. I always try to avoid obvious 4 or 3 stacks because 95percent of time it just is a guaranteed lose when you go with solos against those stacks.
Awesome video. I was totally discharged because of the redrix grind. Now I’m gonna try for it. Thanks as always for the excellent content. Keep up the good work.
@Coolguy Want to thank you for this great quest vid. After watching it, I decided to give it a shot, and just reached Fable. 15 more HC kills and then start the solar part. You are totally right about the stress being gone once Fable is reached! Did all but 5 games solo. It was a bit frustrating at times. Seemed like Bungie would always match you against better players if you got on a streak. Thanks again man, this vid was very inspiring ; )
Thanks, my dude. I thought I had maintain my pts above 2100pts. When I reached 2268pts and was still on step 2 I was getting worried and made me play bad than I was playin when I wasn’t worried. At least I can have fun while playin. 🤘🏼🙏🏼
It’s impossible to hit fabled before 30 matches, (not counting weekly points bonus) you get 70 points per win on a 5 win streak, you need exactly 30 matches for 2100 points if you started at a 5 win streak. Not saying your wrong, because you could’ve got the weekly points, but you definitely didn’t play less than 30 matches in one sitting and hit fabled.
What I recommend doing is going for fabled first. This tends to make the rest a lot less stressful since you aren't worried about your rank and winning matches.
Yeah lol, no casual gamers and there’s tons of people with many many years of FPS experience on pc. Took me no time on PS4, PC is another story entirely.
Thank you for answering the question that if you hit fabled does it remember that if you fall backwards. Your video does make me feel like this is possible for me.
I two-stacked and went in solo for the majority of the quest, and found strangely this gave the best results. Four stacking seemed to not work well at all (maybe our 'team' play was to blame). Matched against plenty of four stacks whilst running solo, and to my surprise would win 80/90% of the time with randoms, whilst not communicating.. who would've guessed. So don't be worried about running with a full team, you'll be fine. Keep grinding and you'll get there 👍🏻
My only problem is getting nonstop countdown and survival. I could get the kills done WAY quicker if i got clash and control but i get nothing but the limiting modes. It makes this way grindier since half the time my kills will get stolen by some guy who barely did any damage to the guy.
It might not be hard with a fireteam, but solo is fucking hell. I just need to reach fabled, but I highly doubt I'll ever reach it. At least a dev said it'll stay as the competitive reward even after season 4, which relieves some stress.
Just finished step 2 the stress part was queuing solo and having people quit leaving me 1 V 3, painful as I refuse to quit, stupid I know lol. The hard part so far being solo 100% of the time is progressing above 2100 points, I'm fabled 1 at mo. Thanks for the upload and hoping in the next few weeks to have have my own Luna.
I haven't started the quest because of Broadsword. So far on the step where you have to do 25 quickplay, competitive and rumble matches. once i get that gun, I'll be in comp for sure.
Darius G. Use the broadsword quest to double up with the luna’s howl. You’re already playing 25 comp matches anyway so you might as well start the luna’s 10 comp matches and make progress on the hc kills after that
I'm done with everything but the fabled rank. I'm a very very very average PVP player... And I've been struggling to win games going solo. I keep topping out at around 1300 points and then I'll drop back to around 1100 and I'm vacillating between those two numbers... I'm on PS4. And if anyone would like to offer a hand of help, I'll trade you some artwork! I love handcannons... So much. And I really want to finish this quest! Username: Dahnjo you can check my Instagram (@mambobon) for artwork if interested! @coolguy - thank you for the video! I am trying not to get frustrated... This video helps!
@@theFunkyThumb that is amazing! Thank you! I play most days between 10pm and midnight Mountain time. I will be playing as much as possible during the day tomorrow though
Ahh cool guy you've convinced me to give this quest a go and I've got everything done but my fabled step the closest I've gotten is I think 1600ish but man this grind is tough a few losing streaks and you're back to 1200 sometimes doing this solo is hard lol this tips you've shot me in this video have helps so much but in the end of the day I'm just short of a good team lol thanks again love this videos my man keep up the great work!
I've been at the last step since 2 weeks ago. I got to 1400 glory points, and continually kept losing, and dropped back down 900. I'm back up to a little over 1000, and I haven't touched comp since. I'm a little traumatized. All solo queue from the start by the way.
I feel the exact same way I been I was at 1700 points for the last two weeks and dropped tk 1470 and now im at 1550 BUT IM SO SCARED OF PLAYINH COMP BECAUSE IM JUST LOSING POINTS NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS it just doesnt feel right...
I appreciate the tips. Definitely informative to what I need to be working on. I’ve been using a thin line pretty frequently and I really like it. I have moving target and rampage and I was wondering if you could do a review on the weapon itself. I’m mainly interested in what mod you’d recommend on it, and what other perks will help make up for its lacking parts. Thanks
I used the Duke for the 25 kills in the AoS quest and it made it very easy to complete in 3 matches P.S. If Coolguy thinks I can do it then I have no reason to not believe in myself!
I just hit fabled today and like you I luckily have a solar inaugural address that I'm using for the solar kills, I'm also using a solar play of the game I have. I climbed really quick once I started using telesto and got good with it because it does a good job of shutting down the shotgun apes.
I appreciate your positive thoughts here but.........look......I had a good time getting all the quest steps done. Now that took me to 1200, playing more less solo. I'm a 1.6 KA/D player getting better since playing comp but here's the diff......my win % is 43........forrrrrrrrrrty threeeeeeeeeeeee. Not 80%. How long at that % do you think it would take or ever? These quest steps are backwards, it should have been... hit glory rank first then kills etc. Because now you have the real good teams farming everyone else when all said and done......I wonder how many people will actually get this that has completed all the kills and such.........it seems they bated people into comp only to realize, at the very end, the cold hard truth that you probably will never get this weapon. If the rank was at the beginning people would not have wasssssssted all their time in comp.
I somewhat agree man. The actual quest is nice. The steps could have been different and in different places. I do believe that with how it is now, it gives the player a chance to chip at it. If it was hit fables first, I think most would get discouraged quickly.
LOL....... I don't know what is worse...being discouraged at the beginning or at the end. I'm just a 45 year old DOD clan dude that loves the game and HC even more. I have nothing to prove and I'm very clear what my skill level is....I just want to honestly (not pay someone for it) reach the rank, but this quest is very stressful not having a solid PVP team. I wish they made the weapon an auto rifle...LOL.
Im 1.4 ka/d player and started the quest, got those 150 hc kills and now I need solar kills. Been between 500-600 glory awhile and I dont know if I can make it to 2100 soloing... Im not a best player but my god how awful my teammates have been lately. Im losing my hope to get that gun. :/ I dont want to waste my time for the quest if I cant get to 2100 points, Comp isnt that much fun, playing it only because Luna is so OP...
@@CoolGuyGames I would rather have just gotten discouraged from it by not being able to get Fabled at the beginning than think I had a chance at getting it, to be honest. This quest will likely be the death of me.
Had to stop you at 2:10 buddy, the comp playlist does NOT scale, it's entirely random, you may go against a group of random solos who are low glory, or you'll go up against a 4 stack already running lunas howl. This is from my experience in comp this past week, as I've been running comp non stop to grind Luna out, and at this time I am now just gunning for fabled. The problem is finding a reliable 4 stack. While I may be a weak pvper I am by no means bad, and consider myself slightly above average, however after messaging enemy teams in a fit of rage over found out that almost every OTHER game you play in comp WILL pit you against at least 1 fabled rank Luna player.
Ancestral that's how people usually do recoverys they get Lunas or not forgotten and then drop there glory down to like 500ish except for the recovery account and its ez clap from there
As pvp players rumble is a good way to practice, going in as a solo vs everyone. Is a good way to see how a 1v4 could happen and it's easier to find ways. I Have a .73 kd. And I made it to 1800 last season. Just gotta practice at the probability
As a solo player ,I really needed to hear this.....just the idea of going into competitive game mode usually gave me extreme anxiety because the penalty for losing was really high. And I figured getting to fabled would be an extremely daunting task smh. But I'll get it done. shit I'm almost done the broadsword quest.
Everybody saying that "this is easy! "30 win streak" needs to look on pc it's super sweaty! I use a controller so I'm at a disadvantage. plus most of the time on pc stack of fours are sweaty and I'm not even saying this because I'm bad in fact most of my games I'm going positive I'm at the top of my team not even trying to brag! However I'm not a streamer who lives off of Redbull i have a life so all i ask is a decent team on pc which I can never find i'm legit on with players who have zero kills per game I try to communicate in the team chat nothing they don't even reply back they run off in countdown rushing with a shotgun only to die by four people because little Jimmy thinks he can take on the world all by himself only for them to die. Then Timmy runs for the heavy like its the objective i'am sick of this i'm worn out and its making me despise the game. I have realized that this never happened to me on console people can say what they want about consoles but at least when it comes to team-based games it's easier to find someone on common ground with you.
For sure...im like a 1.44 all solo queue and its ROUGH!! Was up around 700 pts dropped down to 500ish in a night because of AFKers, the game starting us 3v4 or 2v4...
TheNexg3n bro I’m a 2.0+ efficiency player on pc and I can’t seem to break 1500. I have one more quest step too. Idk if I can do it man. So many insane stacks
This gun and other guns at this tier are going to be the death of casual play in the crucible. I can see a day soon where I simply won’t bother to turn up.
it's pretty obvious that bungie hates casual players, one of the developers even called casual players at one point "filthy casuals". bungie wants this game to be for those that can play about 10-20 hours a day... that's what it seems like anyway.
technically it was, just not in the proper way. all the stuff that could have been end game rewards were locked behind eververse for the majority of the game, the grind was buying engram in hopes to get the sparrows and stuff. but after enough complaining they moved that grind, bit by bit, into the proper way. so the grind has been there, just not proper.
I just got it as a solo player and man that was hard, a lot of lord of wolfs in the crucible these days and it can be tough at times but keep it up you guys can do it, good luck and have a nice day
Around last week I dropped from 1860 to 1668, and it was quite depressing. I managed to get back up to 1786 but at that point I wasn't sure if I even wanted to continue the quest. Skip to today I Just got my Luna's Howl an hour or so ago. I found a team on lfg and we worked so well together! We played around 6-7 games together and we won all of them. I think this is the first time I played comp without getting pissed or cheesed even once, in fact It felt a lot more like quickplay. I guess mindset really does play a big factor.
1 tip in case you are on any of the quest steps, like hand cannon precision final blows, if you are solo queuing and your team leaves, don't hesitate to message the enemy team for trades or whatever, A guy messaged us on pc and we just let him farm us as long as we got the win and he was fine with that. Got him a huge chunk of progress towards his luna.
This is 100% true. I just got my Luna's today. I am an average PvP player at best with a 1.41 efficiency average according to the in-game emblem. I played predominantly solo, maybe did 10 to 15 matches total with a couple of friends early on. It was rough... really rough!! I got stuck at around 1300 points for 4 days straight, contended with a lot of stacked opposition teams, disconnects, quitters, matchmaking into 2 vs 4's etc. At 1800 points I started encountering teams with Luna's which just exasperated the previous issues I've mentioned. It was frustrating, infuriating and exhausting but....I finally made it and to date my personal proudest achievement across both Destiny games. Now to get Broadsword :)
A question, I started my quest last season and left off after getting Recluse along with Fabled, though I was only at 40% of the 2nd step exclusively with Trust, will the other Hand Cannon focused steps have reset or will they carry over?
So if I get to fabled and am still on quest steps, then say went down to the previous rank and hen finished the steps it still counts? I don't have to be fabled when I finish the steps?
Quick question. Once i reach fabled, it doesn't matter if i get lower of That rank while i get the other part of the quest done? Or i need to reach fabled again?
I've managed to earn Luna's Howl literally 2 days ago. My experience and that of what I have seen with friends is pretty entertaining. The first thing to notice is that the grind is not as much of a time consumer as one might think. Obviously with friends and decent blueberries you can achieve greatness and have streaks. But even without streaks, its not going to take hundreds of matches for you to get that gun. I'll say less than 200 matches for most people. No math, just a feeling. What I did was start of as a trio with friends. We would invite the blueberry to the party and if they wanted, they could join. We had a french guy once in your team that couldn't speak a word in english, but had more than enough game sense to know what to do, especially in countdown. That guy kicked ass with the nightfall grenade launcher...So my tip is do the same. May you be in a team or a solo queuer. If you had a good match, invite the people.. You'll be surprised how willing people are to communicate on higher levels. If you kicked ass without saying a word, imagine what you could do when you actually talked! So don't be afraid about that. Second: If you solo queue, do the quest steps first. This may sound counter intuitive, but feel free to tank your ranks and stats if necessary. Getting all the quest steps out of your way early on can be so liberating. Getting 100 headshot kills near fabled can take forever. took me three days to get that part done. But you could also ofcourse do all the steps while you climb up, logicly speaking. But it could be so bothersome when you want to win, but also want to get 100 headshot kills in. You know you could perform better if you didn't have to use a specific weapon to get your progress in. Do as you please, I'll recommend getting the steps out of your way first, so you don't restrict yourself. Ace of Spades and Trust are very popular weapons, but you may not have the right roll or secondary to pair them up with something. If you are really lucky and make friends in comp, as I did, you could ironicly end up very high in the ranks before you even get done with the quest steps. One of my friends is already in his 1800's and still needs to get regular HC kills...Yes, comp can be that way with decent and average players communicating. That happened with people we picked up in comp! We climbed up 800 points in one evening. Its a snowball effect that actually can happen. Third tip: Its more of a friendly reminder, but in comp the Meta is actually a bit different than in quickplay. You will encounter shotgun apes often, but something like a Telesto became pretty popular as well and being great at sniping has such huge play potential. If you're not playing comp, practice sniping. One good shot is all it takes to make a big difference, especially as a solo queuer. Not a lot of people are good dealing with snipers. Trust me, some people even in comp forgot that these weapons are a thing. No shame in dusting off the ol' Gravitron Lance either. Still a top tier pulse rifle that can make a huge difference on some maps and game modes. I know some of the tips sound very " captain obvious" for some, but that's how I did it. Started out with some friends, invited blueberries, some friends couldn't be on, so we invited more blueberries and overtime we build a decent team that would play on the regular. I used a trust and the Ace to get my steps done. I played on a Sunbreaker and Sentinel Titan and nope, my RNG did not bless me with anything Forsaken related exotics... :( Most important part is: Take a break sometimes. That's what I did. Doing a daily grind burns you out faster than you think.
Lunas was a tough quest. More difficult than not forgotten if you ask me. It is almost sad lunas went to the vault so soon after getting it. My best advice is to use the freelance playlist and quit if you are having an off night. Run with your team but don’t be afraid to flank if you see your team pushing and you know where the enemy team is at. Also I used trust to get Luna. I just had the generic role we got early on and still did fine.
I have Warden's Law with the curated roll, do you think that would be a good option for precision HC kills? Cause I'm switching between crimson and trust.
The part on getting 100 headshot final blows, I recommend using the west of Sunfall 7 hand cannon. It can get you headshots easily. Plus it has high caliber rounds which stager the enemy making it hard for them to shoot you cause of the flinching they get.
Fighting Lion+110 HC is the way to go for most of the steps (except solar kills). I'd recommend either the "Home for the Lost" from EDZ or the "Agamid" from Dead Orbit. HotL has quickdraw for that nice prime and put down swap combo, but the same works with the Agamid's rampage. Prime and put down, then two tap all day until Rampage runs out.
Hey CoolGuy thank you for this awesome guide, im so so late but i wanted to ask, i just bought Forsaken and reached 500 with my Hunter, can i still grind for this weapon? Or i lost the chance? Thank you again and i subbed!
Having ran the entire quest solo, including getting Fabled, the best advice I can give for other solo players is don't be discouraged when you run into a 4 stack. Unless it's a recov account chances are that 4 stack wont be the super sweats everybody thinks they are. With how matchmaking in Comp works, a 4 stack gets matched with heavy bias towards the player with the highest amount of points (tocom himself said this to me on Twitter) and as a result the 4 stack you come up against will more than likely on average be below yours and your blueberries rank. In fact, it got the point where if I saw a 4 stack I had more confidence in my blueberries to know what they were doing and 80% of the time I was right in my prediction.
This is all coming from someone who ran with a sniper the entire time as well and on that note don't ever feel like you HAVE to run a shotgun. If you prefer, and have confidence, in your ability to snipe or use a fusion rifle or neither by running double primaries then it's way better for you to stick to that then try to mimic the shotgunners and potentially being a detriment to your team. Shotgunning isn't difficult but knowing when to use it as well as overall decision making is a different beast entirely and both of those things will change if you run a loadout that you're not comfortable with or not as practiced with.
Lastly, leave the salt at the door. Getting annoyed at your blueberries or opponents helps no one, least of all yourself. We all have that one gamemode we hate *cough*countdown*cough* but don't let that influence you. You're there to win, not to throw salt and annoyance. If you start getting tilted or you lose a couple of games in a row take a step back and take a break, do some bounties or get some food. Going in with a negative mindset is one of the most determining factors when it comes to winning or losing.
So those are my three cents as someone who solo queued for the Luna's Howl.
TheNorseCrow 3 cents? Hell I’ll give you the whole dollar. That is some primo advice.
You made me feel so much better about going back in to comp. I've been on heroic for almost 2 weeks now. I'll follow your advice
This is some awesome SGA
Thanks for the advice nobody likes countdown
As I like to say "too much competative is bad for the soul"
You can do it. It’s not that hard
*”i went on a 30 win streak”*
Diego Puga ... I was quoting the video. I’ve never been on a 30 streak
@@diegoYTB r/whoooosh
Phil Meeks Was thinking the same thing. Lol I like the guy’s attitude, but he mentions the win streaks so casually like everyone gets them pretty easily. Lol
MaverickTHEHulK ...I’ve literally had 2-kill games. Today. It was awful. I hate Survival.
Just started playing competitive 3 games a day 5 days ago haven't lost a game yet "solo player".
My biggest recommendation would be, if you start losing a lot, just quit for the day/night and come back to it. Also, do the minimum three games every week for the bonus, it's free points.
What bonus??
You get 80 points every week if you play at least 3 games. They are given to you at next week's reset.
@@prava163 *60
The bonus is tied to your rank. Brave is 80, Heroic is 60 and Fabled is 40. And so on. Also the loss amount decreases as you move up in rank. I was losing 30 then 26 when I got to Fabled. Idk about the higher ranks like Mythic and Legend since I stopped once I got Luna.
ベヒモスRyan Thx for the info!
I just got mine last night!
I ran into two other players who were struggling on the last step as I was, and we ended up just teaming up and grinding out the biggest win streak I’ve ever had in comp. our lowest was 1744 and he managed to get his Luna’s as well. All three of us got ours lol.
The grind for it was fun, everything felt rewarding, every step progression, win, and ultimately Luna’s.
me too
Man can you get your 3 and help me out lol
its also a good idea to quit playing when you tilt as well. nothing screws me up like trying to play when im pissed
He isn't wrong, seems like when I would finally explode after getting mapped by a telesto for the millionth time, everything really went down hill, and my bad attitude would bring down my teammates as well.
I usually will play until I lose 2 or three in a row then I go back to quick play and warm up again there
FURSONA 5
I duoed to 2100 then 4 stacked way to 5500 and Not Forgotten. It is a lot easier than last season so don't fear Guardians, listen to CoolGuys tips and grind away!
Keywords Duo and 4-stack.
if you need people to play with look for clans or use lfg
was it very difficult to get not forgotten i havent been bothered to try yet
Sensitivity Joe ???
I grinded to over 1,000 rank just to realize i didnt get the lunas howl bounty from shaxx
Oof
Ok i know that hurt.
*presses f to pay respects*
1000 glory gets you nothing anyway. You'll still get all the quest steps done before you even hit fabled, trust me.
@@ThatGuySquippy oh i know, but i couldve done the 10 comp games during that time XD
I think you either overestimate how good everyone is or underestimate how good you and your friends are. You did everything in 63 matches? How many kills per game were you averaging? Must've been well into double digits each time, which I would wager is well above average.
I did a minimum of three games a week for the bonus points but if I was on a streak I played more. Once I had fabled I had to get 100 headshots so I went in solo. Got Luna’s howl in about 6 weeks
This! ^
How many points do you get for the three games.
Oz Collin 60
got mine in around 3 weeks did just playing with teams, did every quest step in either a day or two, but college so my grind to fabled was a bit slow😂, didnt get my lunas till 2300 since I was still in headshots
I kept playing until I got tired of comp. hours and hours. Never went on a loss streak more than 2 and got it done in like 4 days. I had time luckily but by no means am I a great player. Just gotta grind
CoolGuy, just wanted to say thanks for this video. Shaxx handed me Luna a few minutes ago. You're a baller and a class act, and, although I'm late to the party, I owe this moment in no small part to you. Thanks for doing what you do
Also to the solo players out there don’t get discouraged either. I went in to comp hoping to get finish up the starting quest steps and reach fabled at another time; however I ended up going on a 20 ish win streak by myself. After that I was winning some and losing some but I was still growing in rank. I think part of the frustration is that people just want a quick way to fabled; it’s not quick it takes a while and that’s okay. Before I got my Luna’s I would some time just play 4 to five games win 3 or 4 and lose a little bit. By all means it is much slower progress but it is still progress. I got Luna’s completely solo with the exception of playing once or twice with another person. This is completely possible for a lot of people. Just don’t freak out if you lose. If you lose a game just quit out of comp for the day and retry tomorrow. Happy grinding guardians
Yohann Jardiniano awesome advice thank you sir
About how many hours do you think you spent on the quest?
Nah fuck that my problem is I keep getting overly sweaty teams in four stacks
Yohann Jardiniano you do realize that you had insanely amount of luck with your quest? It is not the norm to win 20 games in a row especially with skill based matchmaking unless you are a god in pvp with a 4kd and a win ratio of like 80percent and you can carry whole teams on your own. Most people have win ratios around 50 percent thats quite the norm with skill based match making and with that in mind it is very unlikely to start out with like 20 wins in a row unless you have luck like crazy.
dan Halo not gonna lie I got some extreme luck with my games. I got the sweaty games here and there more so when I was pushing 1800+ but I just played with my team and didn’t try to be hero if you know what I mean
The tone of your voice is very soothing, and the motivation you offer us in this video makes me love this channel even more.
Ran the majority of it as a duo, nothing too serious. Made rank earlier than we expected. Teamed up when possible, but ran the other steps (last few solar and headshots) headshots I found a little rough. Lost a few, got easier games. Got some kills. Won a few them couldn't get away from fabled rank. Team's with all lunas, or teams with 2 or 3 luna and others more than happy to shotgun. It was rough but well worth it.
Personally I'm not great in crucible, so for those scared to try out comp, don't be. Give it a go. To those on the run keep with. Good luck to you all.
This just popped back into my recommendations after watching it when you first posted. This video got me to play comp for the first time and I got Luna, recluse, and revoker because of it. Thanks Coolguy for pushing me to try.
I would like to preface this by saying that I do quite thoroughly enjoy CoolGuy's content, and this comment is not intended to be rude or insulting.
That said, I find it hard to take this video as seriously. You (CoolGuy) were able to speed past the Fabled step, something that ends up being the most stressful part of the quest, due in part to your team. By no means am I saying that this is a bad thing, but you more or less jumped past the part that many of the people who would want to watch a "You can do this!" video on Luna's need that pep talk for. I say this from experience, after being no closer to finishing the Fabled step than I was a month ago when I started grinding.
However, I'm sure doing those other steps must have felt like hell to do with the higher prevalence of Luna's and Forgottens once you hit Fabled. Props on that.
Apologies if this comment comes off as negative, it's just something I felt needed to be said. Best of luck out there, everyone.
best of luck to u to
Thanks I'm in the grind portion. People stressing need to see this video!
You're such a positive person, mate. You create great content.
Thank you, Mark
Positivity is a form of delusion.
Honestly the best advice I have I got it from one of true vanguards videos. For someone like me (and I imagine that’s the case for a lot of players) going back into comp was scary, you’re really scared of going on a huge loss streak but the best thing that I did was not even worrying about reaching fabled. Not caring for winning or losing made the quest actually really fun to me, I was focused on getting the other steps done, even if I lost a couple of games I was focused on advancing towards the next step of the quest. By the time I was on the hand cannon headshot kills I was already on fabled (and I soloed or duoed most of the quest)... so basically the best advice I have at least what really worked for me, was actually not caring about fabled or even the grind of the quest itself. Going with the mentality that you’ll get there eventually no matter what really made it fun for me... I’m not sure if I’ll grind for the not forgotten (mainly because I don’t think I’m good enough to get it) but I do know that the Luna’s is actually possible to get if you invest the time and 2 or 3 weeks!
I would disable controller vibration. Aiming is way easier.

IMO I turn on controller vibration because it feels more natural. Also it feels weird if I don't have any vibration when I do the warlock jump

I am currently working on this as a solo and won 15 games in a row. Going Fabled 1st then the quest steps sounds the way to go for me. Thanks CoolGuy!
For the quest, I recommend getting malfeasance if youve killed the primeval. If not, then trust is good too. They are just luna’s howls with one more shot to kill
Man I'm glad someone else loves the Duke too. Just got my Luna's Howl tonight and I pretty much used the Duke exclusively for my HC headshots. Such a great gun, especially with a group that is coordinating and team-shotting. I had a lot of easy precision deletions as well.
Hitting fabled is by far the toughest step of this quest. The way you make it sound so simple completely discredits the point of this whole video.
KC Orby Honestly, the hand cannon headshots were harder for me. Once I got out of the weapon kill parts, I could go back to any weapon load out so I just used an energy shotgun and bygones and then climbed my way up to fabled by playing casually. When I faced a Luna stack I just switched to a blast furnace and outranked them and memed them into the ground.
KC Orby getting to fables was actually the easiest part of the quest, headshots for sure took the longest. I mean what I did was look for people to play comp while I was doing the quest, then find a good team by doing that, then fabled comes easy
@black manta it's called lag compensation. Someone ELSE on the team had bad wifi so what the peer-to-peer servers bungie keeps in the game do is they "bell-curve" everyone's wifi, so like the ppl with great internet get nerfed a bit and the ppl with bad wifi get buffed a little so that everyone can feel included and snowflakey. Dedicated servers would be better especially since it would protect against DDoS attacks, not just lag switching and stuff, but that would reduce the player base, and from a business standpoint, you wanna keep as many people in the game as potential microtransaction/DLC/season pass/whatever tf customers/players.
This is the most wholesome comment thread I’ve yet to see on a destiny topic and I for one am PUMPED TO GET THIS HAND CANNON
Just reached fabled, time to chill grind hand cannon kills :D
I wasn't even going to attempt this quest, until I watched this video. Thanks for the info! This def looks attainable.
back then when this video was new: you were able to do this with so much patience that you never had before in your entire life because when I tried getting it in year 2 9/10 matches were losses
today: freelance is your goddamn friend! got it in 3 days and it's easily possible in one day
didn't said it was hard but without a team it was grindy as hell
Freelance is a godsend, the only tough part is going against everyone using Luna’s while still using Trust. It’s still all about skill with the game, but not having Luna’s at this point does add to the grind.
@@Chim510 huh? luna isn't even a big deal anymore it has a 0.80 ttk like most weapons do tho just grab a good spare rations or mby a bygones and you're good i think
Back then it was harder
Apologies for commenting on an old video. Just wanted to highlight that the way solo queue in freelance comp is now so much easier now than before. Your video on hand cannon's effective range regardless of stat bar really helped a lot. I only used 180 throughout the whole quest step. And I can see why they nerfed the RPM on the luna's. Now that I got it, time to put it into the vault. oh yeah. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, coach! High five!
For you, the highest of fives.
Got mine last week and debating if i want not forgotten.
The whitest thing ive ever seen
This is a great guide. I'm glad you did post it.
As of right now, I still am on part 2. I'm around Brave (only due to the boost everyone got). I have yet to get a single Duke or Trust, so my 3 options are Crimson (what I've been using), a Better Devils (Timed Payload/Moving Target, my only Devils), and a trash roll Ten Paces I only keep because it's the only one I have (I'm a weekend warrior, not by choice). When I can renew my Gold subscription, this is the first thing I go back to (I've been using Right Side of Wrong as my energy and POTG as my heavy, with Way of the Wraith).
I can't wait to see the Luna review!
It's definitely possible as a solo player. My advice is go for hand cannon kills/headshots as early as possible and worry about fabled later. I've made it to 2300 but still need precision kills I'll be lucky to get 3 a match and at higher glory if you're not a handcannon main you'll likely be a detriment to your team.
This is a dumb advice because when you are at the end not able to reach the 2100 points you don't even have to worry about to do the other steps.
You know what's dumb? The lack of logic and grammar in your statement. Try clearly conveying your point, instead of saying "this is a dumb advice" and then tossing together words incoherently. That doesn't validate your insinuation.
Kreau no it is not, literally every fool and his mother brought up this same 'advice' whenever someone on RUclips talked about the Lunas quest. You always hear the same thing "i didn't do it myself because i was at 2100 points to soon but you definitely should finish the other quest steps before even care about the points" but this is a dumb pointless advice those people never question why they themselfe not acted accordingly to their own advice. But the answer is very simple people want fist and for most certainty that their efforts are even worth anything at the end all those other quest steps are worth nothing when you can't reach the 2100 at the end so clearly people will try to go for this step first especially because once you reached the 2100 it is not important if you loose some points after.
A) I wasn't saying your comment was made on unfounded logic. I was simply saying it was poorly written and didn't present an articulated argument
B) I don't know where you think the video remarked that the advice being given was the best way or most efficient way, it was simply stated to be the easiest way for skilled players (emphasis on skilled) to complete the quest. They can literally throw games and just focus on getting the kills they need on all the low ranked casuals that are surely flooding Guardian and Brave before taking the time to pursue the rank. He wasn't saying that his advice was the best means to go about doing it, it's simply the least stressful approach in HINDSIGHT, which I can attest to, having gotten it two and a half weeks after Forsaken's release.
P.S. you should work on your speech. It's tedious to have to decipher what you're saying when you butcher your own remarks.
Hey CoolGuy, just had this video get algorithmed into my feed. Just made me think, this stuff was peak D2 PvP. The quest, + Not Forgotten and Unbroken, was long, challenging, and rewarding. Great content too, I remembering watching it way back in the day, and it certainly helped. We've come a. long way, and I fear, not necessarily for the better. GGs as always though.
If you are at 2040 and have done alteast 3 matches that week don't play until next reset, it wil put you right into fabled rank with the weekly bonus
I just hit over 2144 and wasn't given the Luna's Howl, wait til reset?
@@lostinlucidity Have you completed the other quest steps? if not do them now, you don't have to worry about your rank anymore if you reached fabled at least once, if you have completed the other steps it might just glitch a bit; go to the tower and back to orbit, it should then check of the quest step and tell you to go to shaxx, a friend of mine I played with also had that issue of not imediatly getting the step completed and this worked for him
Ah I remember watching this helped me a lot back in the day. Thanks!
*Spooky Howling*
CoolGuy what’s your discord?
Hey CoolGuy, are the desirable perks on a Duke any different from another hand cannon?
CoolGuy never mind, I found the link lol
I’m so glad you made it clear that I don’t have to be at Fable once the quest is complete. My clan and I got to Fable super fast then I went solo and have been grinding the quest to finish up. I went from 2700 to 2500 and I was so stressed about about dropping under it and having to go back and grind for fabled.
Just got this last night! I'm nothing special when it comes to crucible so if I can do it so can you! Just keep at it! Also, if you are playing solo, watch the "evaluating guardians" count when you are finding a game. If it goes up by 4, ( for example of you went from 1 to 5 or from 2 to 6 players etc) know that you are most likely up against a 4 stack and act accordingly. You can still leave matchmaking as long as it doesn't hit 8/8 and you start flying.
Will try this. This grind is fucking frustrating. I cant get to hero yet and it been 2 fucking weeks!
But thanks for this tip cause I notice I fare much better when I'm against solo players.
@@DM-kb3bi I feel you man, I lost 8 in a row and started to hate it too. Good luck though!
I'll break it down further...
Sometime's ill start the que and it'll jump by 3.... I think to myself, ok, there's a 3 stack... if there's another 3 stack joining, then cool... it's two teams of 3 and there will be me and another dude solo... that's about a 50/50 win rate in the long run
if a 3 stack joins and then its just goes "4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8... then just back out... your going all solos vs a 3 stack.... not very fair
same applies if you see 2 people join... keep an eye out for more pairs and stacks of 3 or 4... do the math quickly and you'll eventually be able to curate what type of groups your playing against... (for the most part anyway)
Yes so true the most people I personally accept to get added in a bulk are 2. I always try to avoid obvious 4 or 3 stacks because 95percent of time it just is a guaranteed lose when you go with solos against those stacks.
Awesome video. I was totally discharged because of the redrix grind. Now I’m gonna try for it. Thanks as always for the excellent content. Keep up the good work.
All I hope is that we get double glory soon
@Coolguy
Want to thank you for this great quest vid. After watching it, I decided to give it a shot, and just reached Fable. 15 more HC kills and then start the solar part. You are totally right about the stress being gone once Fable is reached! Did all but 5 games solo. It was a bit frustrating at times. Seemed like Bungie would always match you against better players if you got on a streak.
Thanks again man, this vid was very inspiring ; )
What happens if you reach fabled before you get to that part in the quest than get to that part but you went down a couple ranks
Thanks, my dude. I thought I had maintain my pts above 2100pts. When I reached 2268pts and was still on step 2 I was getting worried and made me play bad than I was playin when I wasn’t worried. At least I can have fun while playin. 🤘🏼🙏🏼
It’s impossible to hit fabled before 30 matches, (not counting weekly points bonus) you get 70 points per win on a 5 win streak, you need exactly 30 matches for 2100 points if you started at a 5 win streak. Not saying your wrong, because you could’ve got the weekly points, but you definitely didn’t play less than 30 matches in one sitting and hit fabled.
Wtf are you talking about?? He never once claimed it took him only 30 games dude
What I recommend doing is going for fabled first. This tends to make the rest a lot less stressful since you aren't worried about your rank and winning matches.
At this point, 2019 September, it is 10/100 hardness in order to get Fabled. :)
Watching the gameplay on the background so satisfying :)
Don't waste your time here if you're on p.c, obtaining Luna howl is the toughest thing you can do as a solo player on p.c
Someone gets it lol
It fucking is
hidden gouki I wonder if I can do it on PS4? I’m an average player.
Yeah lol, no casual gamers and there’s tons of people with many many years of FPS experience on pc. Took me no time on PS4, PC is another story entirely.
not even close console is way harder
Thank you for answering the question that if you hit fabled does it remember that if you fall backwards. Your video does make me feel like this is possible for me.
So if I hit fable and start dropping down in ranks doing the rest of the quests step hitting fable still count?
This is my question lol
I two-stacked and went in solo for the majority of the quest, and found strangely this gave the best results. Four stacking seemed to not work well at all (maybe our 'team' play was to blame). Matched against plenty of four stacks whilst running solo, and to my surprise would win 80/90% of the time with randoms, whilst not communicating.. who would've guessed.
So don't be worried about running with a full team, you'll be fine. Keep grinding and you'll get there 👍🏻
My only problem is getting nonstop countdown and survival. I could get the kills done WAY quicker if i got clash and control but i get nothing but the limiting modes. It makes this way grindier since half the time my kills will get stolen by some guy who barely did any damage to the guy.
I did everything the way that you explained it. & now i have my Lunas Howl.
Wow that's like the rich person saying money can't buy happiness.
First video and I already know I'm gonna subscribe, love that energy in your video man
"i won 55 lost 13"
me whose never won a comp game before *slowly starts crying*
i prefer duke honestly
Videos like this are why I follow your channel. You are a great content creator dude!
Thank you, Keith
It might not be hard with a fireteam, but solo is fucking hell. I just need to reach fabled, but I highly doubt I'll ever reach it. At least a dev said it'll stay as the competitive reward even after season 4, which relieves some stress.
Solo is fine until like 1800 in my opinion. You can get there solo but its infuriating, at the 1700 mark id say just look for teams
Are you on console or PC? Because it seems to be harder on PC than it is on console.
PabloV99 sameee stuck on last step
Yep stuck at 1800 for a week now ;((
I hit 1700 and dropped to 1470 AND IM AT 1550 AND I DROPPED AGO 2 WEEKS I feel so scared of playing comp and not making any progress...
Just finished step 2 the stress part was queuing solo and having people quit leaving me 1 V 3, painful as I refuse to quit, stupid I know lol. The hard part so far being solo 100% of the time is progressing above 2100 points, I'm fabled 1 at mo. Thanks for the upload and hoping in the next few weeks to have have my own Luna.
I haven't started the quest because of Broadsword. So far on the step where you have to do 25 quickplay, competitive and rumble matches. once i get that gun, I'll be in comp for sure.
Darius G. Same man. I know I can get it but I would rather get the broadsword first
Darius G. Use the broadsword quest to double up with the luna’s howl. You’re already playing 25 comp matches anyway so you might as well start the luna’s 10 comp matches and make progress on the hc kills after that
@morgan you got this... keep at it!!
Thanks Shaxx!! will keep that in mind.
You're better off using a bygone
Thank you my boi I had no idea about the reaching fabled and then it didn't matter if u dropped . I'm on the grind for this beast .PS new sub
I'm done with everything but the fabled rank. I'm a very very very average PVP player... And I've been struggling to win games going solo. I keep topping out at around 1300 points and then I'll drop back to around 1100 and I'm vacillating between those two numbers... I'm on PS4. And if anyone would like to offer a hand of help, I'll trade you some artwork! I love handcannons... So much. And I really want to finish this quest! Username: Dahnjo you can check my Instagram (@mambobon) for artwork if interested! @coolguy - thank you for the video! I am trying not to get frustrated... This video helps!
What times do you usually play? Me and my group are planning on hitting this hard once festival is done
I will gladly help you to get your luna ! Do you play this week-end ? My psn : stiflash23
Daniel Ibanez I highly recommend playing this weekend when all the average players will be there with their 5 win Valor streaks farming Valor rep.
@@theFunkyThumb that is amazing! Thank you! I play most days between 10pm and midnight Mountain time. I will be playing as much as possible during the day tomorrow though
@@stiflash thank you!!! I will be on a lot all day tomorrow, but my usual time is roughly between 10 and midnight Mountain time
Ahh cool guy you've convinced me to give this quest a go and I've got everything done but my fabled step the closest I've gotten is I think 1600ish but man this grind is tough a few losing streaks and you're back to 1200 sometimes doing this solo is hard lol this tips you've shot me in this video have helps so much but in the end of the day I'm just short of a good team lol thanks again love this videos my man keep up the great work!
I've been at the last step since 2 weeks ago. I got to 1400 glory points, and continually kept losing, and dropped back down 900. I'm back up to a little over 1000, and I haven't touched comp since. I'm a little traumatized. All solo queue from the start by the way.
I feel the exact same way I been I was at 1700 points for the last two weeks and dropped tk 1470 and now im at 1550 BUT IM SO SCARED OF PLAYINH COMP BECAUSE IM JUST LOSING POINTS NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS it just doesnt feel right...
I was the same back when grinding for redrix i was 8 points shy from dropping back into brave i didn’t even touch it
I appreciate the tips. Definitely informative to what I need to be working on. I’ve been using a thin line pretty frequently and I really like it. I have moving target and rampage and I was wondering if you could do a review on the weapon itself. I’m mainly interested in what mod you’d recommend on it, and what other perks will help make up for its lacking parts. Thanks
I used the Duke for the 25 kills in the AoS quest and it made it very easy to complete in 3 matches
P.S. If Coolguy thinks I can do it then I have no reason to not believe in myself!
I would, but duke has not dropped for me even though i played enough to reach 590...
Yeah me neither, it's ridiculous how rare it is.
I just hit fabled today and like you I luckily have a solar inaugural address that I'm using for the solar kills, I'm also using a solar play of the game I have. I climbed really quick once I started using telesto and got good with it because it does a good job of shutting down the shotgun apes.
I appreciate your positive thoughts here but.........look......I had a good time getting all the quest steps done. Now that took me to 1200, playing more less solo. I'm a 1.6 KA/D player getting better since playing comp but here's the diff......my win % is 43........forrrrrrrrrrty threeeeeeeeeeeee. Not 80%. How long at that % do you think it would take or ever? These quest steps are backwards, it should have been... hit glory rank first then kills etc. Because now you have the real good teams farming everyone else when all said and done......I wonder how many people will actually get this that has completed all the kills and such.........it seems they bated people into comp only to realize, at the very end, the cold hard truth that you probably will never get this weapon. If the rank was at the beginning people would not have wasssssssted all their time in comp.
I somewhat agree man. The actual quest is nice. The steps could have been different and in different places. I do believe that with how it is now, it gives the player a chance to chip at it. If it was hit fables first, I think most would get discouraged quickly.
LOL....... I don't know what is worse...being discouraged at the beginning or at the end. I'm just a 45 year old DOD clan dude that loves the game and HC even more. I have nothing to prove and I'm very clear what my skill level is....I just want to honestly (not pay someone for it) reach the rank, but this quest is very stressful not having a solid PVP team. I wish they made the weapon an auto rifle...LOL.
Im 1.4 ka/d player and started the quest, got those 150 hc kills and now I need solar kills. Been between 500-600 glory awhile and I dont know if I can make it to 2100 soloing... Im not a best player but my god how awful my teammates have been lately. Im losing my hope to get that gun. :/ I dont want to waste my time for the quest if I cant get to 2100 points, Comp isnt that much fun, playing it only because Luna is so OP...
@@CoolGuyGames I would rather have just gotten discouraged from it by not being able to get Fabled at the beginning than think I had a chance at getting it, to be honest. This quest will likely be the death of me.
Heng Team mates are awful and then once you try to get a team the enemy becomes absolute god tier 3.0s just their to farm kd.
Thx man. I have a Duke with range finder and kill clip and I forgot I even had it untill you brought it up in this vid.
Had to stop you at 2:10 buddy, the comp playlist does NOT scale, it's entirely random, you may go against a group of random solos who are low glory, or you'll go up against a 4 stack already running lunas howl. This is from my experience in comp this past week, as I've been running comp non stop to grind Luna out, and at this time I am now just gunning for fabled. The problem is finding a reliable 4 stack. While I may be a weak pvper I am by no means bad, and consider myself slightly above average, however after messaging enemy teams in a fit of rage over found out that almost every OTHER game you play in comp WILL pit you against at least 1 fabled rank Luna player.
At 700 Glory I was matched against a 3-stack all running Luna's Howl. If Bungie wants Comp to succeed and grow they need to fix matchmaking.
Ancestral that's how people usually do recoverys they get Lunas or not forgotten and then drop there glory down to like 500ish except for the recovery account and its ez clap from there
Thanks for the tips Coolguy, I just got the Luna’s howl.
You won fifty something and only lost thirteen.
Right.
Keep underestimating how fucking hard this is for most of us.
As pvp players rumble is a good way to practice, going in as a solo vs everyone. Is a good way to see how a 1v4 could happen and it's easier to find ways. I Have a .73 kd. And I made it to 1800 last season. Just gotta practice at the probability
killian Neill my kd is 1.36

As a solo player ,I really needed to hear this.....just the idea of going into competitive game mode usually gave me extreme anxiety because the penalty for losing was really high. And I figured getting to fabled would be an extremely daunting task smh. But I'll get it done. shit I'm almost done the broadsword quest.
Everybody saying that "this is easy! "30 win streak" needs to look on pc it's super sweaty! I use a controller so I'm at a disadvantage. plus most of the time on pc stack of fours are sweaty and I'm not even saying this because I'm bad in fact most of my games I'm going positive I'm at the top of my team not even trying to brag! However I'm not a streamer who lives off of Redbull i have a life so all i ask is a decent team on pc which I can never find i'm legit on with players who have zero kills per game I try to communicate in the team chat nothing they don't even reply back they run off in countdown rushing with a shotgun only to die by four people because little Jimmy thinks he can take on the world all by himself only for them to die.
Then Timmy runs for the heavy like its the objective i'am sick of this i'm worn out and its making me despise the game.
I have realized that this never happened to me on console people can say what they want about consoles but at least when it comes to team-based games it's easier to find someone on common ground with you.
Same on console! Super sweaty with recovs
i got it on console like nothing
Console are a lot easier though. On PC its sweaty af
You must not be on PC....
TheNexg3n ya it’s obvious he’s not lol
The grind is really rough on PC...I'm not elite but I don't suck either and its super frustrating.
Yea I know what you mean. People are God’s with m&kb not to mention the tiny player base
For sure...im like a 1.44 all solo queue and its ROUGH!! Was up around 700 pts dropped down to 500ish in a night because of AFKers, the game starting us 3v4 or 2v4...
TheNexg3n bro I’m a 2.0+ efficiency player on pc and I can’t seem to break 1500. I have one more quest step too. Idk if I can do it man. So many insane stacks
Finally got my Luna's today, I got to 1800ish solo and my bud came on and made it a lot easier and a lot less tilting. It feels so nice to use.
This gun and other guns at this tier are going to be the death of casual play in the crucible. I can see a day soon where I simply won’t bother to turn up.
it's pretty obvious that bungie hates casual players, one of the developers even called casual players at one point "filthy casuals". bungie wants this game to be for those that can play about 10-20 hours a day... that's what it seems like anyway.
holydracoeva 24 Yup. Destiny 2 has been a hardcore grind game up until forsaken... not
technically it was, just not in the proper way. all the stuff that could have been end game rewards were locked behind eververse for the majority of the game, the grind was buying engram in hopes to get the sparrows and stuff. but after enough complaining they moved that grind, bit by bit, into the proper way. so the grind has been there, just not proper.
thanks for your tips! I got it last week! Super pumped about it!
Lol i remember doing this quest then they. Made it sow u can Buy it lol what a Joke
Thanks CoolGuy. I ran solo up until the last 600 rank. Teamed up with randoms and we all got Luna within 4 matches of each other.
NIce video the way you explained it made it sound simple but i suck at pvp but really want this hand cannon, maybe one day ill try for it
I just got it as a solo player and man that was hard, a lot of lord of wolfs in the crucible these days and it can be tough at times but keep it up you guys can do it, good luck and have a nice day
Wish me luck I'm gonna do it solo. I should just dig my grave lol
@@Honja999 Good luck, I went with the mentality win or lose stay in the competitive, got some wins streaks and lost some as well but it paid off
@@rodrigocosta9042 how long did it take? And how long did it take to get to fabel?
@@Honja999 I did the quest steps back when the forsaken launched, don't remember how much time I spent on it but the fable rank took me about a week
@@rodrigocosta9042 damn
Around last week I dropped from 1860 to 1668, and it was quite depressing. I managed to get back up to 1786 but at that point I wasn't sure if I even wanted to continue the quest.
Skip to today
I Just got my Luna's Howl an hour or so ago. I found a team on lfg and we worked so well together! We played around 6-7 games together and we won all of them. I think this is the first time I played comp without getting pissed or cheesed even once, in fact It felt a lot more like quickplay. I guess mindset really does play a big factor.
Ay man, I already got my Luna but this video helped me get it, so thanks man.
1 tip in case you are on any of the quest steps, like hand cannon precision final blows, if you are solo queuing and your team leaves, don't hesitate to message the enemy team for trades or whatever, A guy messaged us on pc and we just let him farm us as long as we got the win and he was fine with that. Got him a huge chunk of progress towards his luna.
This is 100% true. I just got my Luna's today. I am an average PvP player at best with a 1.41 efficiency average according to the in-game emblem.
I played predominantly solo, maybe did 10 to 15 matches total with a couple of friends early on. It was rough... really rough!! I got stuck at around 1300 points for 4 days straight, contended with a lot of stacked opposition teams, disconnects, quitters, matchmaking into 2 vs 4's etc. At 1800 points I started encountering teams with Luna's which just exasperated the previous issues I've mentioned.
It was frustrating, infuriating and exhausting but....I finally made it and to date my personal proudest achievement across both Destiny games.
Now to get Broadsword :)
A question, I started my quest last season and left off after getting Recluse along with Fabled, though I was only at 40% of the 2nd step exclusively with Trust, will the other Hand Cannon focused steps have reset or will they carry over?
So if I get to fabled and am still on quest steps, then say went down to the previous rank and hen finished the steps it still counts? I don't have to be fabled when I finish the steps?
If I reach out fabled rank before the quest will it still count??. Cuz I am still sitting at hand cannon kills step and have 1100 Glory right now.
Great breakdown! On Heroic 3 and working on precision kills!
Quick question. Once i reach fabled, it doesn't matter if i get lower of That rank while i get the other part of the quest done? Or i need to reach fabled again?
Thank you for your encouragement I’m gonna keep going now !
I love my Luna’s Howl, I worked so hard to get it!!
If you hit fabled before completing the quest do you then have to get back up to fabled like last season or just go to shax?
Which bit I need to reach fabled in comp or quick play
I've managed to earn Luna's Howl literally 2 days ago. My experience and that of what I have seen with friends is pretty entertaining.
The first thing to notice is that the grind is not as much of a time consumer as one might think. Obviously with friends and decent blueberries you can achieve greatness and have streaks. But even without streaks, its not going to take hundreds of matches for you to get that gun. I'll say less than 200 matches for most people. No math, just a feeling.
What I did was start of as a trio with friends. We would invite the blueberry to the party and if they wanted, they could join. We had a french guy once in your team that couldn't speak a word in english, but had more than enough game sense to know what to do, especially in countdown. That guy kicked ass with the nightfall grenade launcher...So my tip is do the same. May you be in a team or a solo queuer. If you had a good match, invite the people.. You'll be surprised how willing people are to communicate on higher levels. If you kicked ass without saying a word, imagine what you could do when you actually talked! So don't be afraid about that.
Second: If you solo queue, do the quest steps first. This may sound counter intuitive, but feel free to tank your ranks and stats if necessary. Getting all the quest steps out of your way early on can be so liberating. Getting 100 headshot kills near fabled can take forever. took me three days to get that part done. But you could also ofcourse do all the steps while you climb up, logicly speaking. But it could be so bothersome when you want to win, but also want to get 100 headshot kills in. You know you could perform better if you didn't have to use a specific weapon to get your progress in. Do as you please, I'll recommend getting the steps out of your way first, so you don't restrict yourself. Ace of Spades and Trust are very popular weapons, but you may not have the right roll or secondary to pair them up with something.
If you are really lucky and make friends in comp, as I did, you could ironicly end up very high in the ranks before you even get done with the quest steps. One of my friends is already in his 1800's and still needs to get regular HC kills...Yes, comp can be that way with decent and average players communicating. That happened with people we picked up in comp! We climbed up 800 points in one evening. Its a snowball effect that actually can happen.
Third tip: Its more of a friendly reminder, but in comp the Meta is actually a bit different than in quickplay. You will encounter shotgun apes often, but something like a Telesto became pretty popular as well and being great at sniping has such huge play potential. If you're not playing comp, practice sniping. One good shot is all it takes to make a big difference, especially as a solo queuer. Not a lot of people are good dealing with snipers. Trust me, some people even in comp forgot that these weapons are a thing. No shame in dusting off the ol' Gravitron Lance either. Still a top tier pulse rifle that can make a huge difference on some maps and game modes.
I know some of the tips sound very " captain obvious" for some, but that's how I did it. Started out with some friends, invited blueberries, some friends couldn't be on, so we invited more blueberries and overtime we build a decent team that would play on the regular. I used a trust and the Ace to get my steps done. I played on a Sunbreaker and Sentinel Titan and nope, my RNG did not bless me with anything Forsaken related exotics... :(
Most important part is: Take a break sometimes. That's what I did. Doing a daily grind burns you out faster than you think.
Lunas was a tough quest. More difficult than not forgotten if you ask me. It is almost sad lunas went to the vault so soon after getting it. My best advice is to use the freelance playlist and quit if you are having an off night. Run with your team but don’t be afraid to flank if you see your team pushing and you know where the enemy team is at. Also I used trust to get Luna. I just had the generic role we got early on and still did fine.
I have Warden's Law with the curated roll, do you think that would be a good option for precision HC kills? Cause I'm switching between crimson and trust.
The part on getting 100 headshot final blows, I recommend using the west of Sunfall 7 hand cannon. It can get you headshots easily. Plus it has high caliber rounds which stager the enemy making it hard for them to shoot you cause of the flinching they get.
Fighting Lion+110 HC is the way to go for most of the steps (except solar kills). I'd recommend either the "Home for the Lost" from EDZ or the "Agamid" from Dead Orbit. HotL has quickdraw for that nice prime and put down swap combo, but the same works with the Agamid's rampage. Prime and put down, then two tap all day until Rampage runs out.
Hey CoolGuy thank you for this awesome guide, im so so late but i wanted to ask, i just bought Forsaken and reached 500 with my Hunter, can i still grind for this weapon? Or i lost the chance? Thank you again and i subbed!
