Destiny: How to beat this weeks nightfall with ease

Here is this weeks Nightfall Strike Walkthrough. This weeks Nightfall is Summoning Pits and the modifiers are:

*Nightfall – If all players die, you will be returned to orbit.

*Epic – Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.

*LightSwitch – Minions of the Darkness deal much more melee damage.

*Angry – Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage

*Arc Burn - Arc Damage from any source is greatly increased

It's the same strikes every week, I think everyone knows how to beat them already...

[ABMN]

I think you know how to beat it. But there are people that are still newish to the game. I make these videos for them.

[CorndogBurglar]

Keep it up man. I like your videos. They've taught me a lot. I've had the game since launch but i know how to beat a lot of the strikes easily from your vids.

I just got to level 20, but everytime i play the crucible, I could barely get 2 kills. After going 2-25 i avoid the crucible all together. I'm not being cocky or anything but, I was really good in COD. I know Destiny plays differently but its very similar mechanics and requires fast reflexes.

Now, im just having fun playing the strike playlist. thanks for the video, this will come in handy.

@kayoss

I'm with you. I completely suck in the Crucible. It's probably best to stick with the team CTF mode (can't remember the exact name right now) or just deal with sucking really bad until you can really get used to the layout of the maps.

I really think map knowledge is the key to any multiplayer FPS. In many games knowing where pickups spawn greatly helps - in Destiny's case it is knowing where the Secondary and Heavy ammo spawn points are or having one of the three Exotic weapons that are Secondary-types used in the Primary weapon slot.

The free-for-all modes tend to have very small maps so hand cannons+[fusion rifles/shotguns]+rocket launchers tends to be a very effective combo. Machine guns are useless in PvP because of their low DPS compared to Rocket Launchers; they also lack the splash damage. Sniper Rifles are only good on the team maps since they have larger open areas. In terms of Primaries, it comes down to what you're comfortable with, but personally I like hand cannons for the fact they take up very little of the screen while sighting and have a high damage per shot (even more with headshot bonuses).

I am newish, too newish, only 27 on my Titan, thanks for the videos even though I probably won't be using them for a while.

[BootyBandit]

Fate Bringer *arc, Efrideets Spear *arc and Radegast's Fury *arc (Iron Banner sniper and rocket launcher). The Radegast 1 shots Ultra Hallowed Nights and almost 1 shots Ultra Wizards.

You don't have to go out into the hallway with the waves if you have heavy and a syn or 2. On the 3rd wave we pinned the wizards coming out of the door from the back right corner of the room. probably the easiest nightfall I've done in weeks. Only the Nexus, depending on the burn, compares with how easy it is. Both the Summing Pits and Nexus are a cake walk. The weekly is even easier with arc burn and no shields.

I got 10 strange coins (yay, not!), 8 shards and a Hawkmoon. I didn't need any of them but I always want the multiplier for the week.

I scored 2 Red Deaths off of the VOG tonight so that made up for it. It was the only gun that alluded me. Now I have them all. Hopefully tomorrow I will score the Crux of Crota to get my Necrochasm.

[CorndogBurglar]

Don't be like that. There are plenty of people that got the game for the holidays that have never played this strike on Nightfall.

[Linkz973]

Honestly some people think it's all about them smh. There are new players everyday and new people finding nightfalls difficult. Also having a different prespective from differ players depending on their style is not a bad thing.

[cell989]

What a selfish person, as if no one over Christmas got the game right? anyway nice strategy, this is one of my fave strikes.

[VforVideogames]

Destiny game is like Driveclub : lots of news but nobody cares.

[bjmartynhak]

It there a matchmaking for the co-op stuff now?

[ChozenWoan]

Of cooooarse....
...
...
not.

Bungie wants you to be forced to beat Nightfall on your friends time, not yours.

[nucky64]

this is the reason I never got destiny. I was so interested in it - but no matchmaking??? WTH?

[Dread]

@Nucky

Destiny has matchmaking for Strikes, Crucible and Iron Banner Tornament.

it does not have matchmaking of nightfall, and Raids.

To be honest, as a seasoned player, I think it would be a real mess to play Raids in regular matchmaking. It might work for nightfall though.

happy gaming.

[Linkz973]

smh not yet honestly I can't stand the no matchmaking system

[WildArmed]

Everything has matchmaking except the (1) Raid (2) Nightfall /weekly strikes (once a week) (3) Daily Stories (...daily?)

The strikes and story missions should really have match making.

Oh wait, NONE of the story has match making too, just so I don't give out false hope.

Strikes, crucible and some events have matchmaking.

It's pretty silly. Everything but the Raid really should have some sort of matchmaking.

[KingOfOldSkool]

Even the raid should have matchmaking despite all of the excuses made against including it, there is no reason for it not being an option at all for those who would want to try it. Sensible matchmaking requirements, or at the very least dedicated lobby areas with better ways to communicate with players in-game, would be a vast improvement over the current setup that relies entirely on third-party sites to organize access to some of the games most important content.

[KyRo]

shoot him until his chains are broke, run back into the door way and snipe him until he drops. I'm suprised they haven't moved the shieriker to the other corner of the room to stop this tactic tbh.

[Cra2yey3]

That would cause an uproar. It's too late to change it now.

[Linkz973]

Well said

[BlissSeeker]

All my team got a legendary gun each from the nightfall.

:(

[Stapleface]

That's pretty good actually. Your whole team could have gotten 5 shards each or some crap like that.

[Christopher]

Or more strange coins. Because, you know, those are hard to get.

[BattleTorn]

Lucky me, I got a amazing Arc Heavy with a 26round clip, it'll will be perfect for this

[Christopher]

Fatebringer

Patience & Time (swap to Icebreaker if you have it for free ammo regen and then swap back)

Any arc rocket launcher.

[BattleTorn]

Like I said, I'll be using my new DarkBelow Arc-Heavy.. that has slow rate of fire, but great impact.

I don't have Fatebringer :(

I do have P&Time and IB. Only this last week I learned that you can recharge your P&T by switching back and forth.

My plan is to use Ice Breaker for the most I can.

[WildArmed]

yay for fatebringgeeerr.. Going to pull it out tonight. Almost max too.

[xPaYDaYx]

I clicked this link to see if it was a different strike, i quit playing the game like 2 months ago and me and my friends were using this strat lol
How the fuck are people still playing this game and doing the same shit every week

[corroios]

Respect the gamers that play this game. I could say the same about many other games...

[xSitchx]

PayDay if you quit the game 2months ago why are you commenting? Sounds to me like someone isn't over the game at all cause you're still sucking Bungies dick...mines and other gamers when you write a comment about a game you don't even play anymore.

[andibandit]

todays hottest news...

[corroios]

This game would be perfect it the name was something like: Halo 7: New Destiny

[tekksin]

week's* - possessive.
Anybody can be a writer these days.

[InTheLab]

Yeah so after casually playing Crucible foe months I finally get an exotic bounty only to come to this strike and no matchmaking strikes again :/

[ScaryMonkey]

LOL, there's actually a much faster and easier strat then this.
