There's at least 6 of those dudes dropping 1 - 2 bricks for me per kill. I've never had to wipe multiple times so that the team can fill their heavy. We split up in three teams of two. In my experience, everyone fills up the first time. But, if we do end up wiping, then all the heavy that wasn't collected is still there and continues to accumulate. Sucks that you've had to go through that, but it is still probably less than 5min to do that (rather than waiting for another synth to become available after a failed attempt). Edit: I'm typically the crystal guy and I can even see heavy that I missed in the "maze" from the rocks.

  • They always only drop 1 and I need atleast 5 to fill up my gun - as does anybody using Merciless. - Which for that stage is my entire fireteam... that means we need 30 bricks between all of us... you aren't getting that without intentional wipes.

  • There's also two orange bars that spawn per pollen buff. Are you buffing to 60x for both rounds (e.g., round one take their health down to 10-20%)? I, personally, don't need all merciless shots to take down the dogs. I use super, one mercifless clip and one energy auto rifle clip in first round and then whatever is available the second round. Of course, when everyone is above 290 it will only take one round. Swords are probably better for the dogs, but I'll wait for Datto to make a video on it (it can also cause the dogs to "jump slide" like the gorgons).

  • A few things - yes there are drops during when the Handlers come out - but it isn't always a good thing to waste time grabbing them - we tend to save them for the crystal bearers when they jump down. Supers are good - but sometimes you can activate them and the dog will run back to its starting position leading you on a chase and wasting it. Lastly being over 280 light means absolutely nothing - that's not how Light works. You are effectively scaled BACK to an enemies level at all times. It's bad to be under 280 - but being over provides no difference.

  • It was hyperbole. People tend to do better when they're higher than recommended light levels (e.g., at Rise of Iron levels, one phasing War Priest was common - even with first timers, but wasn't at Taken King levels, in my experience). I was only 274 and had no problems taking down the dogs. I also had time to grab ammo on my way back to the safe room. As far as supers, I agree. I wouldn't use hammers or shield, for instance, but Nova bomb is great, as is tickle fingers even if the dog runs away.
