Destiny PvE Tips from a top 0.1% player (ft. Ekuegan)

Destiny 2 has an amazing endgame full of challenging activities like raids, dungeons, master lost sectors and grandmaster nightfalls. But getting into these activities as a fresh or even experienced player can be a bit daunting.

In this video I interviewed my buddy EK who has helped more Guardians complete their first GrandMaster Nightfall than probably anyone else on earth. We talk about how to get started with Destiny's endgame, what armor and weapons to work towards to make powerful builds, what subclasses don't get as much attention as they should, and much more.

That new player warlock on the thumbnail must have been doing the legendary shard farm, they have over 15k shards at 1363

With specific regards to Invis, it's not that the AI knows you're there (they do - all of them do), it's that they're programmed to continue firing at your last visible location. You will update the enemy AI if you use your jump ability (not the base jump) because it makes a noise and draws the AI attention, causing them to shoot at where you made that sound. This is what trips up most players who aren't familiar with Invis and its mechanics against the AI. You can actually "sneak" past enemies who haven't been alerted to your presence and aren't in LoS of your character model even without Invis as long as you don't use a jump ability or initiate a sprint in their aggro range because of how the AI works and what triggers a location update.

Very interesting and enlightening conversation as a returning player I think a lot of this will help me get back to the end game after about a year off destiny 2

[bigjustinturbo]

Out of all your videos, this interview show and tell format is my favorite type. They're so valuable. Just listened to your excellent SMG episode on the Massive Breakdowns pod, too. I hope Kyt Kucha has you back again sometime

[crossthreader]

A lot of endgame proficiency revolves around knowing how enemies act and the timing of their attacks/defensive/healing.

[DaveyKTech]

What makes EK so enjoyable to me is how thorough he is when he goes and explains things. He isn't just telling you what he's doing, but why he's doing it and the benefits of it vs other methods. That really makes a difference and has been extremely helpful for me as I continue to try and get better at GM's.

[aarongriffith]

EK is a seriously great dude. Used to keep his streams up on my secondary monitor when I was working night shifts. He's such a wealth of Destiny knowledge.

[AnbuYdg]

EK is so knowledgeable I’ve learned a lot about GMs and solo player strats from his content. Awesome video!

[martellreed]

The fact u interview led the homie was super dope Patty! I truly appreciate it bc I been following EK for a long while! He’s super dope and insightful w his knowledge! I urge u all to follow his YT channel!

Appreciate this!
Dope seeing content creators helping each other out!

[FunkeyMonkeyZat]

This was the most helpful and insightful destiny video I’ve ever watched since playing the game! Thank you guys for making this and please do more like this in the future.

[thewrathfulbadger]

As someone who’s been through both the clan and the lfg bender. This man is SCREAMING the words I’ve always said but everyone screamed at me for. I actually used to solo every night fall back in D1 because well the first bit. And I learned the same sort of mindset he has. “No one thing is the best, it changes constantly and you must be able to adapt and work as a team”

[EulogyfortheAngels]

So happy to hear Inmost Light recommended! It works in any class, and it's pretty insane when you can throw a Duskfield every 4-5 seconds. In Void it's constant Vortex grenades and shield tosses.

[gerardddd]

These interviews are my favorite! I've been waiting.. Thank you!

[karmalulw]

EK is such a nice guy man, helps Hundreds of players in the community, this guy knows it all

[chipsawdust]

I've been watching EK for quite a while, he's given me some good insights. After 4000+ GMs it would seem he should be one of the go-to folks if you want to play that end game stuff (as I always do every season). He also streams on Twitch so I watch him there, especially when GMs drop for the season. Get some good tips and pointers. In his GM YT vids as well.

Gotta admit, for a PvP player like PattyCakes to feature a PvE guy I was a bit puzzled but it was a great chat with EK and much appreciated that you made this video :)

[kurt]

Assassins cowl and path of burning steps are probably my most used exotics. Nice to hear them get some love.

[MILONAV]

I did enjoy this chat immensely. Till today, even though I watched EK twice or thrice, this is the first time I came to know that he has over 4000 GM clears. Wow! Subbed immediately and followed on Twitch too. Thanks PC.

[peterd]

Only like 50 hrs into the game and i just cant put it down got really lucky on what exotics i got, and loving the grind for a good titan build. Already reset my crucible rank a time or two, and this advice was really helpful. Thanks

[soooluscious]

Fantastic video Patty! Love to finally see some high-end PvE content, I've been getting way more into that. And I LOVE that you got EK on here! He's the best!
