2024.05.02 20:08 Either-Chemistry93 Struggling with Probability Problems - Seeking Advice
I'm currently a second-year mathematics major who has been performing quite well academically. This year, I've even took a few graduate-level courses. While I wouldn't consider myself a prodigy by any means, I dedicate a significant amount of time to my studies, which is reflected in my consistently high grades across the board. However, I have problems with probability. Despite a thorough understanding of the theoretical aspects, I find myself unable to solve problems correctly when working independently. I've went through all the tutorial problems and all of the examples and problems from Janko Gravner's "Probability" (UC Davis, 2010), but still I did bad on my first midterm(which covers most of Jankos'# Probability notes). I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has faced similar challenges with probability. If so, how did you overcome them? Any strategies, resources, or insights would be greatly appreciated!

This week in Destiny we’re fine tuning our PvP loadouts. We’ve got three new beautiful Crucible maps coming next week, and we want to make sure we’re ready. So, grab that Rose you’ve been dominating with, and let’s get into it.
This week topics:
With only a few days until their release, we wanted to take a final look at these maps from a slightly different angle. That's why we partnered with our favorite community cartographer, Relikt, to develop callout map overviews. We've been fans of his callout maps for years, and we are thrilled to work with him on this new set of Crucible maps. Let’s jump in and take a look!

With initial spawns near point A at the Warehouse and near point C at the Ice Caves, players will make their way to contest the Servitor area that holds point B and a valuable Heavy ammo crate. But be careful! While the interior of the map by the Promenade and Upper Glacial is more closer-quarters battle focused, a handful of longer sight lines in the space between Air Dock and Loading Bay means you’ll have to ensure that you approach carefully, or you may be on the wrong side of a Sniper Rifle.
Image Linkimgur
Image Linkimgur
There are four distinct areas on Cirrus Plaza with the Arcade, Restaurant, Aquarium, and Atrium. Players will spawn in the Arcade near point A and the Restaurant near point C. The Atrium will be an area of interest, as players will seek the Heavy ammo crate that spawns in the middle and battle to earn the valuable high ground. However, with sight lines spanning multiple floors and players battling for point B nearby, Guardians will need to get in and out quickly or ensure they have teammates watching their back.
Image Linkimgur
Image Linkimgur
With initial spawn points near the Fossils at point A and the Sigil at point C, the map offers somewhat direct paths through the middle, where players will be drawn to Orbits to engage in heated brawls over the Heavy ammo and across the bottom of the map towards point B.
Additionally, while New Territory is the designated playlist for the new maps, the maps will be available in other playlists and the private lobby as usual.
Lastly, New Territory will be available until the end of the Season, at which point any player who engaged in the playlist will be awarded with the new Slaycation emblem!

The Pantheon Raid Ring features a legendary re-envisioning of our iconic first Raid Ring, launched in 2020. Beyond the striking raid symbol as the focus of the ring, owners will also have a private reminder of the importance of loyalty in the face of adversity. Etched on the inside is a message that reads, “Glory comes easy when you have allies you can trust.” The epitome of strength and camaraderie, The Pantheon Raid Ring stands as a testament to the valor and unity found in the heat of battle. This special Bungie Rewards offer is available for purchase only to players who complete all encounters from any tier of The Pantheon in Destiny 2 by June 3, 2024.
The Godslayer Title Pin will also be available for purchase via Bungie Rewards for players who complete the Godslayer Title by June 3, 2024.
Luckily, the Econ Team has established a good working relationship with the Tower’s Number One Cryptarch over the last year as we added Exotic armor focusing, and we have managed to help Rahool set up a new promotional program of sorts that makes farming the armor you want more deterministic and less dependent on rotators.
Image Linkimgur
Starting in The Final Shape, Rahool is going to be the source for any new Exotic armor that we release. When you first talk to Rahool after The Final Shape launch, he will introduce you to a new rewards program tied to his brand-new Reputation Track. The idea is simple: the more you decode engrams with him, the more you increase your reputation with him. Once you completely fill the reputation track once and reset your rank, Rahool will allow you into an elite club, giving you access to a new tier of focusing.
Once you become one of Rahool’s “Engram Ensiders” (he was very proud of the name, so be nice to him), you’ll be able to purchase any piece of Exotic armor for any character on your account for one Exotic engram and one Exotic cipher, in addition to the previous focusing options. Because this is tied to Rahool’s new reputation track, there is no weekly limit to using this tier of focusing; as long as you still have Exotic ciphers and engrams, you can keep rolling armor.
With this change, we are also altering the way that old sources of Exotic armor work. First, Lost Sectors will keep the same drop rates for Exotics but will instead drop engrams whenever they would have previously dropped gear. Neomuna will also still drop new Exotic armor when you complete a Vex Strike Force encounter, but we won’t be adding any more new armor to the drop list after Season of the Wish.
With these changes, we know you’re wondering, “How long will it take to get this newfangled tier of focusing? I’ve got the World’s First Race to prepare for, wot wot!” Without going into the exact numbers, the actions that will give the most reputation will be precision decryption (aka Tier 2 focusing), followed by advanced decryption, then opening an Exotic engram , and last but also least, opening a prime engram. So, if you want to be ready for the Witness’s forces as soon as possible, make sure to stock up on Exotic engrams and Ascendant Shards before June 4, as with a little more than a full stock of Exotic engrams you’ll be able to start focusing new armor.

Currently, there are some issues that can make the experience of applying a shader inconsistent. The first being that, while each shader applies six colors, only four are currently shown on the shader icon. This can sometimes result in the shader appearing differently than players may expect from the icon preview.
Adding to this is the fact that all four color sections of the current shader icon are equal in shape and size, making it difficult to distinguish what the main colors will be when applied. There are also many shaders that have unique glows that players strive for, and with the current design, they are not represented. Gambit Jadestone is a great example of this.

Image Linkimgur
To help address these issues, we've made updates to the shader icon design that includes all six colors for that shader. We are also changing the design in a way that makes the primary colors appear to take more space than the secondary colors for a more accurate representation with most gear items. Glows are also reflected in the updated design so it will be easier to distinguish those shaders within your shader selection screens.

We tested many different design solutions for this goal, and eventually settled on adding a diamond to the center of the current icon design and changing the layout of the color slots on the icon.
We’re hoping these new improvements will offer a better experience for Guardians looking to show off their best looks.
Hello everyone, PvP Strike Team here to talk about Special ammo in the Crucible. Since Update 7.3.5, we’ve been doing a substantial amount of iteration on our Special ammo distribution systems. We’ve tried the meter system in multiple playlists as well as two different versions of the ammo crates system in Competitive, Hardware, and for a limited time in Trials. Some people asked why we are bothering to do this level of experimentation, and we’d like to explain it.
The Respawn System
The original Special ammo distribution system was brought into the game with Forsaken and, combined with allowing players to pick up ammo from defeated opponents, it eventually peaked in a short period of time where Special weapons eclipsed Primary weapons for final blows in Crucible. We walked it back several times, mostly focused on how much ammo you could pick up from bricks on the ground, but we were still left in a position of one-shot kill Special weapons making up a substantial percentage of Crucible final blows and contributing to many of the issues with sandbox readability we have discussed before.
While the respawn system had its issues and we felt there was some room for improvement, it did do a decent job of balancing ammo distribution between high- and low-performing players, with high-performing players on average utilizing Special ammo 1.5-2 times more than low performing players. Similarly, with years of the system in place, the Special weapon meta had solidified nicely. Shotguns were at the top, with around 47% of Special weapon kills. Snipers and Fusions combined to make up 43%, and all the other Special weapons were the remaining 10%.
When investigating changes to the respawn system, it became apparent that we were very limited in terms of how we could tune the system to get the desired effects, and that led us to investigate two additional systems. While we wanted to be able to solve the problem of too many one-hit kills in PvP, it was important to us that the new systems did not introduce new and potentially worse problems.
The Meter System
To understand the meter system, we first need to take you through its development. This system was originally intended to be experimental, utilized only in the temporary Labs mode, Checkmate. It was built using a combination of other existing systems co-opted from various parts of the game that allowed us to do things we could not usually do in Crucible, like retaining the state of the meter between lives and between rounds (an invisible stat on the scoreboard the game reads back every time you respawn), dropping ammo directly onto the player in a transmat (an invisible ammo crate that opens directly above you and then deletes itself), carrying the full amount of ammo over between deaths (utilizing the logic system we use in PvE activities to re-grant you ammo on spawn), and displaying the current progress of the meter (the UI bar borrowed from Exotic weapon and activities buffs).
Reception to the system in Checkmate was mixed, but we saw there was a lot of potential in our first truly “earnable” Special ammo system. Since its introduction, we have iterated on it several times, including earlier this week, and have gotten it into a much more acceptable state. Unfortunately, as the meter system has been exposed to the wider game for an extended period, we have run into two core issues which have required us to continue to look for possible solutions.
Balance Issues – The overall balance of the meter system in the wider sandbox has been concerning. It primarily benefits one player type over all others, with players who routinely perform above average in their lobbies getting the double benefits of having more Special ammo than the respawn system allowed at certain points in the game, while their opponents often have much less. In the meter system, high-performing players are earning Special ammo at 3.5 times the rate of lower-performing players, a delta which has led to many non-high-performing players abandoning Special weapons entirely. In Competitive, for example, with the meter system in use low-performing players were more likely to get kills with Heavy ammo weapons than they were with Special ammo weapons.
The weapon balance has become similarly one-sided, as it promotes Shotguns as the main solution, and all other Special weapons are perceived as no longer useful for most players when in an ammo-limited situation. Under the meter system, Shotguns have more than 76% of Special weapon kills, with Fusions and Snipers reduced to a combined 18%, and the rest of the Special weapons making up only 6%. This has led to a very “rich get richer” meta, where the best performing players and weapons are now even stronger by comparison without having to do anything differently.
Earlier this week we took steps to improve on these issues, but the difficulty we face in a system where Special ammo is almost entirely earned is that we have limited room to close the gap between high and low performers before it functionally becomes "everyone gets Special ammo on a timer," which is something we'd like to avoid.
Technical Issues – Balance problems aside, being built on tech that was not designed to be used in this way has exposed multiple issues that, upon investigation, we determined could not be easily fixed in the meter’s current state. Some things, like being unable to notify opponents that an ammo transmat has occurred or give starting ammo on join-in-progress, are already apparent to players. Other problems, which are far more significant, appear in the backend and affect how we handle several of the processes, impacting our ability to both balance and maintain the system in the long term. Functionally, these combined issues require us to rebuild the meter from the ground up as a new, dedicated system. We feel the system has shown enough merit that this is something we are undertaking for a future release.
The Crates System
As a potential fallback for the meter system, the Special ammo crates system was resurfaced and iterated upon. The crates system has several benefits from a design perspective, including the ability to place crates in key zones around the map to help encourage player movement in non-objective or objective-optional modes and prevent coagulation around a single power position, as well as offering the ability to delay Special weapon pushes in round-based modes.
The crates system has also, based on its time in Competitive and Trials, done some positive things in terms of moving Special ammo distribution closer to healthy values. The delta between high- and low-performing players has moved back to 2.4 times, and it has led to less late-game snowballing, as players who do try to hoard Special ammo lose it upon death. Weapon balance is similarly improved, although not optimal, and there is significantly increased variety with Shotguns coming down to 59% of kills, Fusions and Snipers combining for 28% of kills, and all other Special weapons increasing to 13% of kills.
Ultimately, the crates system in isolation also has several major problems. It can present a frustrating amount of friction between playing the game how you want and playing the game how you need to if you want to run a Special ammo weapon. Additionally, in round-based modes, it is too frictionless to run double Special ammo weapons. It is also the first system we have introduced that allows players to directly influence the Special ammo economy of the opposing team, as controlling most crates can help starve the other team of Special ammo.
From a strategic perspective this is an interesting mechanic, but with no other way to earn Special ammo in gameplay it serves to be more frustrating than fun, and many players have struggled to adapt to the change, causing additional friction when playing in matchmade teams.
The “Blended” 1-1-1 System
Each of the above-listed systems has both positives and negatives. In isolation, each system helps and hurts a different part of the population, but none of them holistically solves the Special ammo problem.

WINDOWS 7 AND 8 SUPPORT
Beginning on June 4, 2024, Destiny 2 is ending support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 operating systems. This decision is to align with Steam and Microsoft ending support for these systems.
Destiny 2 may continue running on these older operating systems after June 4, 2024, but we are unable to guarantee continued functionality after that date.
Players using these operating systems to play Destiny 2 are urged to upgrade to a more recent version of Windows or move to another platform so that their playtime won't be interrupted.
For more information, please view our Windows 7 and 8 Support article.
PANTHEON CHECKPOINTS
Due to an issue preventing players from progressing in The Pantheon when joining at a checkpoint, we have disabled checkpoints for The Caretaker and Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets. We are attempting to resolve this issue as soon as possible and will provide an update when we have more information to share.
ARCHIE QUEST INFORMATION
We've seen confusion surrounding the weekly Archie Hunt quests and wanted to offer clarification. These quests are only intended to be available for one week each and were made with this time limit in mind. We understand that this is not ideal for all players, which is why we made the shader available for one completion for any of the weekly quests. The lore attached to these triumphs will become available to all players when The Final Shape launches on June 4.
KNOWN ISSUES
While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:
To be a Titan is to live and die by the melee, even if that means a gruesome but spectacular death.

With only a few days until their release, we wanted to take a final look at these maps from a slightly different angle. That's why we partnered with our favorite community cartographer, Relikt, to develop callout map overviews. We've been fans of his callout maps for years, and we are thrilled to work with him on this new set of Crucible maps. Let’s jump in and take a look!
Eventide Labs
Eventide Labs is set in a long-forgotten human colony research outpost on Europa that Eramis chose to use as a refueling station.Image Linkimgur

However, with sight lines spanning multiple floors and players battling for point B nearby, Guardians will need to get in and out quickly or ensure they have teammates watching their back.
Dissonance
If you’ve always wanted to PvP on a terraformed Pyramid ship , then we’ve got you covered. Equal parts beautiful and haunting, Dissonance is set on the Witness’s former ship, Essence, which was terraformed by the Traveler.Image Linkimgur
Image Linkimgur
With initial spawn points near the Fossils at point A and the Sigil at point C, the map offers somewhat direct paths through the middle, where players will be drawn to Orbits to engage in heated brawls over the Heavy ammo and across the bottom of the map towards point B.
New Territory
When these maps arrive on May 7, they’ll be on a separate 3v3 playlist called "New Territory," so you can enjoy the new experience these maps offer on demand. The playlist will replace the 3v3 Quickplay node and feature the three new maps with the following game modes: Survival, Elimination, Clash, and Collision. Be sure to pick up the introductory quest from Shaxx for more details on the maps and playlist.Additionally, while New Territory is the designated playlist for the new maps, the maps will be available in other playlists and the private lobby as usual.
Lastly, New Territory will be available until the end of the Season, at which point any player who engaged in the playlist will be awarded with the new Slaycation emblem!

The Pantheon Boss Deep Dive
The Pantheon is upon us. The new PvE raid gauntlet opened this week featuring four bosses as part of the first wave. With more bosses on the way each week, we wanted to take a moment to highlight the targets you’ve been tasked with taking down. We’ve got the details to ensure you know thy enemies well.DEFENDERS OF THE CITY,
You are tasked with the elimination of the following targets:
-GOLGOROTH-
Image LinkimgurCLASSIFICATION
- Hive
- Blood of Oryx
- Ogre
- Worm
- Void eye beam
- Venomous gaze
- Unstable Light
- Monstrous strength and durability
- Ogres are forged -- through tortuous trials and dark rituals -- from corrupted and deformed Thralls known as Unborn. They know only pain and are conditioned to hate and despise the Light.
- Golgoroth is a Hive Ogre, infested with burrowing parasites related to the Worm gods and committed to Oryx’s service. One of the most powerful ogres ever known, Golgoroth was felled aboard the Dreadnaught by the same brave fireteam that delivered the Taken King his final death.
- Vanguard operatives uncovered that Golgoroth was enlisted as a vessel to both tithe violence directly to Oryx and corrupt hordes of stolen Light from Oryx’s conquests. The ogre’s flesh also served as containment for a Tablet of Ruin.
- Recovered from Golgoroth’s remains, Tablet of Ruin x1.
- The item has been vaulted for proper containment.
- Deciphered Hive apocrypha suggests Golgoroth was fond of flower petals. Daughters of Savathûn would send warriors with petals stuffed beneath their chitin as deathly delights for the Ogre.
-CARETAKER-
Image LinkimgurCLASSIFICATION
- Scorn, Abomination, altered
- Resonant
- Eliksni, former, House unknown
- Worm, altered
- Scale drone swarm
- Overcharged ether blast
- Sacred dematerialization
- Resonant empowerment
- Slain by the intrepid fireteam that stormed the Sunken Pyramid in the fetid Court of Savathûn, the Caretaker is a being of which we know little. It resembles a Scorn Abomination but has been the subject of several experiments and is believed to have been host to a Worm.
- The Caretaker was entrusted with a collection of Wormspawn as well as other entities the Witness and Rhulk had obtained to be analyzed and stored within the Pyramid.
- Reports from fireteams raiding the Sunken Pyramid mention that the Caretaker appears to have been both victim to and overseer of experiments seeking to fuse Worms and Scorn together.
- Multiple fireteams have commented on what appear to be “pet” mutations that are believed to have belonged to the Caretaker. Whether these were rejected experiments or unsanctioned creations isn’t known.
- There is a discrepancy in the number of Wormspawn marked as collected from the Pyramid and those delivered to the Tower’s vault containment. Guardians who have information regarding their whereabouts should submit a report to Vanguard Leadership.
-ATRAKS-1, FALLEN EXO-
“The Wildcard”Image Linkimgur
CLASSIFICATION
- Eliksni
- Exo(s)*
- House Salvation, Baroness
- Ex-House of Devils, Council
- Modified Shock Rifle
- Extinction protocol
- Self-replication
- Teleportation
- Stasis empowerment
- *Exos are humanoid machines that house a living mind. Atraks-1 obtained this technology from a BrayTech station orbiting Europa. Atraks’s mind commands multiples copies of her Exo frame.
- Before converting herr form, Atraks acted as Council to Eramis, Kell of House Salvation for many years. Atraks was entrusted with command of the Deepstone Crypt. She was destroyed by the Guardian fireteam that brought the Morning Star down from orbit.
- Atraks-1 created multiple copies of herself to deceive foes. Fireteams encountering this tactic in the future are advised to locate the original target and focus a simultaneous strike.
- Atraks was at one time seen as a voice of reason, an orator, able to speak to the hearts of the Eliksni youth in House Salvation.
- The Hidden have relayed rumors that a copy of Atraks-1’s mind exists, stored somewhere on Europa. This has yet to be verified.
- At least two of the initial six fireteam members that destroyed Atraks-1 believe they destroyed a clone and that the real Atraks-1 still lives. This is under investigation.
- Atraks-1 was known to prefer synthetic lubricant when undergoing maintenance.
-ZO’AURC, EXPLICATOR OF PLANETS-

- Manufactured
- Cabal Shadow
- Legion Incendior
- Clone
- Cabal magma launcher
- Searing beam (column of flame)
- Magma launcher compression blast
- Paracausal shielding
- Resonant empowerment
- Zo’Aurc is a Cabal clone created by the deposed Emperor Calus and is assigned to a detachment of the Shadow Legion forces aboard the Witness’s personal Pyramid ship.
- According to Vanguard decryption teams, Zo'Aurc, who was granted the title Explicator of Planets, has surveyed a collection of worlds conquered by the Black Fleet for an unknown purpose. Preliminary theories span weighing the worlds for Discipleship to searching for the Veil or a method of contributing to the Final Shape.
- Reports conclude that even the Shadow Legion was not immune to Nezarec’s torment. Zo’Aurc details his own nightmares and more reports of nightmares and violent incidents among his forces.
- Zo’Aurc’s personal logs have been decoded. It seems that, whatever their official goal was, they were personally cataloging worlds that had once been part of the Cabal empire but were no more. ##The Pantheon Bungie Rewards

Rahool’s Frequent Decryptor Program
The experience of grinding out new Exotic armor can be a time-consuming process. It can take quite a few runs to get the drop you’re looking for, and many more to get one that has stats that support your build. Besides that, with Exotic armor pieces often forming the backbone of a powerful build, new players are regularly asked to spend a long time tackling challenging content solo before being able to run builds that support the most effective tactics.Luckily, the Econ Team has established a good working relationship with the Tower’s Number One Cryptarch over the last year as we added Exotic armor focusing, and we have managed to help Rahool set up a new promotional program of sorts that makes farming the armor you want more deterministic and less dependent on rotators.

Shader Icon Revamp
With The Final Shape, we're upgrading the look and design of the shader icon layout. Shaders are a core way a player can provide a unique look and feel to their Guardian, and we wanted to help continue to make that a better experience. Our goal with this update is to help make the shader icons more accurately reflect the colors and textures they will apply.Image Linkimgur
Currently, there are some issues that can make the experience of applying a shader inconsistent. The first being that, while each shader applies six colors, only four are currently shown on the shader icon. This can sometimes result in the shader appearing differently than players may expect from the icon preview.
Adding to this is the fact that all four color sections of the current shader icon are equal in shape and size, making it difficult to distinguish what the main colors will be when applied. There are also many shaders that have unique glows that players strive for, and with the current design, they are not represented. Gambit Jadestone is a great example of this.

PvP Strike Team Update

Since Update 7.3.5, we’ve been doing a substantial amount of iteration on our Special ammo distribution systems. We’ve tried the meter system in multiple playlists as well as two different versions of the ammo crates system in Competitive, Hardware, and for a limited time in Trials.

Similarly, with years of the system in place, the Special weapon meta had solidified nicely. Shotguns were at the top, with around 47% of Special weapon kills. Snipers and Fusions combined to make up 43%, and all the other Special weapons were the remaining 10%.
When investigating changes to the respawn system, it became apparent that we were very limited in terms of how we could tune the system to get the desired effects, and that led us to investigate two additional systems. While we wanted to be able to solve the problem of too many one-hit kills in PvP, it was important to us that the new systems did not introduce new and potentially worse problems.
The Meter System
To understand the meter system, we first need to take you through its development. This system was originally intended to be experimental, utilized only in the temporary Labs mode, Checkmate. It was built using a combination of other existing systems co-opted from various parts of the game that allowed us to do things we could not usually do in Crucible, like retaining the state of the meter between lives and between rounds (an invisible stat on the scoreboard the game reads back every time you respawn), dropping ammo directly onto the player in a transmat (an invisible ammo crate that opens directly above you and then deletes itself), carrying the full amount of ammo over between deaths (utilizing the logic system we use in PvE activities to re-grant you ammo on spawn), and displaying the current progress of the meter (the UI bar borrowed from Exotic weapon and activities buffs).
Reception to the system in Checkmate was mixed, but we saw there was a lot of potential in our first truly “earnable” Special ammo system. Since its introduction, we have iterated on it several times, including earlier this week, and have gotten it into a much more acceptable state. Unfortunately, as the meter system has been exposed to the wider game for an extended period, we have run into two core issues which have required us to continue to look for possible solutions.
Balance Issues – The overall balance of the meter system in the wider sandbox has been concerning. It primarily benefits one player type over all others, with players who routinely perform above average in their lobbies getting the double benefits of having more Special ammo than the respawn system allowed at certain points in the game, while their opponents often have much less. In the meter system, high-performing players are earning Special ammo at 3.5 times the rate of lower-performing players, a delta which has led to many non-high-performing players abandoning Special weapons entirely. In Competitive, for example, with the meter system in use low-performing players were more likely to get kills with Heavy ammo weapons than they were with Special ammo weapons.
The weapon balance has become similarly one-sided, as it promotes Shotguns as the main solution, and all other Special weapons are perceived as no longer useful for most players when in an ammo-limited situation. Under the meter system, Shotguns have more than 76% of Special weapon kills, with Fusions and Snipers reduced to a combined 18%, and the rest of the Special weapons making up only 6%. This has led to a very “rich get richer” meta, where the best performing players and weapons are now even stronger by comparison without having to do anything differently.
Earlier this week we took steps to improve on these issues, but the difficulty we face in a system where Special ammo is almost entirely earned is that we have limited room to close the gap between high and low performers before it functionally becomes "everyone gets Special ammo on a timer," which is something we'd like to avoid.
Technical Issues – Balance problems aside, being built on tech that was not designed to be used in this way has exposed multiple issues that, upon investigation, we determined could not be easily fixed in the meter’s current state. Some things, like being unable to notify opponents that an ammo transmat has occurred or give starting ammo on join-in-progress, are already apparent to players. Other problems, which are far more significant, appear in the backend and affect how we handle several of the processes, impacting our ability to both balance and maintain the system in the long term. Functionally, these combined issues require us to rebuild the meter from the ground up as a new, dedicated system. We feel the system has shown enough merit that this is something we are undertaking for a future release.
The Crates System
As a potential fallback for the meter system, the Special ammo crates system was resurfaced and iterated upon. The crates system has several benefits from a design perspective, including the ability to place crates in key zones around the map to help encourage player movement in non-objective or objective-optional modes and prevent coagulation around a single power position, as well as offering the ability to delay Special weapon pushes in round-based modes.
The crates system has also, based on its time in Competitive and Trials, done some positive things in terms of moving Special ammo distribution closer to healthy values. The delta between high- and low-performing players has moved back to 2.4 times, and it has led to less late-game snowballing, as players who do try to hoard Special ammo lose it upon death. Weapon balance is similarly improved, although not optimal, and there is significantly increased variety with Shotguns coming down to 59% of kills, Fusions and Snipers combining for 28% of kills, and all other Special weapons increasing to 13% of kills.
Ultimately, the crates system in isolation also has several major problems. It can present a frustrating amount of friction between playing the game how you want and playing the game how you need to if you want to run a Special ammo weapon. Additionally, in round-based modes, it is too frictionless to run double Special ammo weapons. It is also the first system we have introduced that allows players to directly influence the Special ammo economy of the opposing team, as controlling most crates can help starve the other team of Special ammo.
From a strategic perspective this is an interesting mechanic, but with no other way to earn Special ammo in gameplay it serves to be more frustrating than fun, and many players have struggled to adapt to the change, causing additional friction when playing in matchmade teams.
The “Blended” 1-1-1 System
Each of the above-listed systems has both positives and negatives. In isolation, each system helps and hurts a different part of the population, but none of them holistically solves the Special ammo problem.
- The respawn system offers a safe distribution of ammo amongst players, and the ease of availability promotes special weapon diversity, but giving two kill’s worth to every player every life also results in far too many one-hit kills for a healthy sandbox.
- The meter system allows players to earn Special ammo in a deterministic way and increases the rate of earning if you’re playing well, which feels rewarding for high-performing players. On the other hand, for low-performing players, it feels significantly worse, and it promotes a homogenous Special weapon meta.
- The crate system allows us to promote movement around the map, alter push timings, reward map control, and give players more direct control over the amount of Special ammo in play for their opponents. It also causes significant friction by forcing conflict with optimal player flows and between matchmade teams, and it allows too much Special ammo in round-based modes.
- Players will respawn each life with one kill worth of Special ammo for their chosen weapon. This serves as a stopgap for players to make sure they are never going long amounts of time with an empty weapon and encourages more players to continue to utilize Special weapons, albeit in a limited fashion. Setting the ammo at one instead of two kill’s worth ensures that there is not a surplus of Special ammo that is available for minimum effort. Spawning with one also functions as a healthy mid-point between spawning with none in the crates system and retaining all ammo with the meter.
- All Primary weapon final blows will drop a personal ammo brick that awards one kill’s worth of Special ammo. This is our deterministic, earnable method of distributing ammo in the blended system until our purpose-built version of the ammo meter is ready. What this means is that any of your final blows with a Primary weapon will drop an ammo brick that only you can pick up, regardless of whether the opponent you defeated had Special ammo on them. Likewise, if you defeat a player who has Special ammo using a Special ammo weapon, that will not drop a brick on the ground, so like the meter system, you cannot use Special to directly earn more Special. We will be initially introducing this specific portion of the system into the Competitive playlist starting next week, to help address player complaints about the economy in those modes.
- Crates will continue to exist, but their icon visibility range on the HUD has been decreased, and they will only provide a single kill’s worth of Special ammo when opened. These crates will continue to serve as points of interest around a map, but it will no longer be a requirement for players to interact with them to partake in the Special ammo system. They will instead function as a small bonus for players who take the time to engage with them and an optional mid-point step for players to gain Special ammo that is more effort than simply respawning with it, but less effort than getting a Primary weapon final blow.
Superblack Shader Now Available
With the final two BRAVE weapons available this week, players will receive the final quests needed to unlock the much-anticipated Superblack shader. Players can unlock the shader by earning the Superblack Key Alpha from Shaxx, and Superblack Key Omega from Arcite 90-40. Using both will grant you access to the Superblack Containment and to the shader. If you’re a Hunter…er…a player of any class, you’ll want to grab this new Shader and look your finest.Player Support Report

WINDOWS 7 AND 8 SUPPORT
Beginning on June 4, 2024, Destiny 2 is ending support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 operating systems. This decision is to align with Steam and Microsoft ending support for these systems.
Destiny 2 may continue running on these older operating systems after June 4, 2024, but we are unable to guarantee continued functionality after that date.
Players using these operating systems to play Destiny 2 are urged to upgrade to a more recent version of Windows or move to another platform so that their playtime won't be interrupted.
For more information, please view our Windows 7 and 8 Support article.
PANTHEON CHECKPOINTS
Due to an issue preventing players from progressing in The Pantheon when joining at a checkpoint, we have disabled checkpoints for The Caretaker and Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets. We are attempting to resolve this issue as soon as possible and will provide an update when we have more information to share.
ARCHIE QUEST INFORMATION
We've seen confusion surrounding the weekly Archie Hunt quests and wanted to offer clarification. These quests are only intended to be available for one week each and were made with this time limit in mind. We understand that this is not ideal for all players, which is why we made the shader available for one completion for any of the weekly quests. The lore attached to these triumphs will become available to all players when The Final Shape launches on June 4.
KNOWN ISSUES
While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:
- In Onslaught, players may be teleported back to the incorrect ADU location after completing certain phases.
- The ADU in Onslaught can occasionally despawn.
- On rare occasions, the Spark in Onslaught can be lost.
- The portal to leave a boss phase in Onslaught will sometimes not open when killing a boss too quickly.
- BRAVE weapons The Recluse and Hammerhead don’t highlight enemies like their previous models.

This week in Destiny we’re fine tuning our PvP loadouts. We’ve got three new beautiful Crucible maps coming next week, and we want to make sure we’re ready. So, grab that Rose you’ve been dominating with, and let’s get into it.
This week topics:
With only a few days until their release, we wanted to take a final look at these maps from a slightly different angle. That's why we partnered with our favorite community cartographer, Relikt, to develop callout map overviews. We've been fans of his callout maps for years, and we are thrilled to work with him on this new set of Crucible maps. Let’s jump in and take a look!
Image Linkimgur
Image Linkimgur
With initial spawns near point A at the Warehouse and near point C at the Ice Caves, players will make their way to contest the Servitor area that holds point B and a valuable Heavy ammo crate. But be careful! While the interior of the map by the Promenade and Upper Glacial is more closer-quarters battle focused, a handful of longer sight lines in the space between Air Dock and Loading Bay means you’ll have to ensure that you approach carefully, or you may be on the wrong side of a Sniper Rifle.
Image Linkimgur
Image Linkimgur
There are four distinct areas on Cirrus Plaza with the Arcade, Restaurant, Aquarium, and Atrium. Players will spawn in the Arcade near point A and the Restaurant near point C. The Atrium will be an area of interest, as players will seek the Heavy ammo crate that spawns in the middle and battle to earn the valuable high ground. However, with sight lines spanning multiple floors and players battling for point B nearby, Guardians will need to get in and out quickly or ensure they have teammates watching their back.
Image Linkimgur
Image Linkimgur
With initial spawn points near the Fossils at point A and the Sigil at point C, the map offers somewhat direct paths through the middle, where players will be drawn to Orbits to engage in heated brawls over the Heavy ammo and across the bottom of the map towards point B.
Additionally, while New Territory is the designated playlist for the new maps, the maps will be available in other playlists and the private lobby as usual.
Lastly, New Territory will be available until the end of the Season, at which point any player who engaged in the playlist will be awarded with the new Slaycation emblem!

The Pantheon Raid Ring features a legendary re-envisioning of our iconic first Raid Ring, launched in 2020. Beyond the striking raid symbol as the focus of the ring, owners will also have a private reminder of the importance of loyalty in the face of adversity. Etched on the inside is a message that reads, “Glory comes easy when you have allies you can trust.” The epitome of strength and camaraderie, The Pantheon Raid Ring stands as a testament to the valor and unity found in the heat of battle. This special Bungie Rewards offer is available for purchase only to players who complete all encounters from any tier of The Pantheon in Destiny 2 by June 3, 2024.
The Godslayer Title Pin will also be available for purchase via Bungie Rewards for players who complete the Godslayer Title by June 3, 2024.
Luckily, the Econ Team has established a good working relationship with the Tower’s Number One Cryptarch over the last year as we added Exotic armor focusing, and we have managed to help Rahool set up a new promotional program of sorts that makes farming the armor you want more deterministic and less dependent on rotators.
Image Linkimgur
Starting in The Final Shape, Rahool is going to be the source for any new Exotic armor that we release. When you first talk to Rahool after The Final Shape launch, he will introduce you to a new rewards program tied to his brand-new Reputation Track. The idea is simple: the more you decode engrams with him, the more you increase your reputation with him. Once you completely fill the reputation track once and reset your rank, Rahool will allow you into an elite club, giving you access to a new tier of focusing.
Once you become one of Rahool’s “Engram Ensiders” (he was very proud of the name, so be nice to him), you’ll be able to purchase any piece of Exotic armor for any character on your account for one Exotic engram and one Exotic cipher, in addition to the previous focusing options. Because this is tied to Rahool’s new reputation track, there is no weekly limit to using this tier of focusing; as long as you still have Exotic ciphers and engrams, you can keep rolling armor.
With this change, we are also altering the way that old sources of Exotic armor work. First, Lost Sectors will keep the same drop rates for Exotics but will instead drop engrams whenever they would have previously dropped gear. Neomuna will also still drop new Exotic armor when you complete a Vex Strike Force encounter, but we won’t be adding any more new armor to the drop list after Season of the Wish.
With these changes, we know you’re wondering, “How long will it take to get this newfangled tier of focusing? I’ve got the World’s First Race to prepare for, wot wot!” Without going into the exact numbers, the actions that will give the most reputation will be precision decryption (aka Tier 2 focusing), followed by advanced decryption, then opening an Exotic engram , and last but also least, opening a prime engram. So, if you want to be ready for the Witness’s forces as soon as possible, make sure to stock up on Exotic engrams and Ascendant Shards before June 4, as with a little more than a full stock of Exotic engrams you’ll be able to start focusing new armor.

Currently, there are some issues that can make the experience of applying a shader inconsistent. The first being that, while each shader applies six colors, only four are currently shown on the shader icon. This can sometimes result in the shader appearing differently than players may expect from the icon preview.
Adding to this is the fact that all four color sections of the current shader icon are equal in shape and size, making it difficult to distinguish what the main colors will be when applied. There are also many shaders that have unique glows that players strive for, and with the current design, they are not represented. Gambit Jadestone is a great example of this.

Image Linkimgur
To help address these issues, we've made updates to the shader icon design that includes all six colors for that shader. We are also changing the design in a way that makes the primary colors appear to take more space than the secondary colors for a more accurate representation with most gear items. Glows are also reflected in the updated design so it will be easier to distinguish those shaders within your shader selection screens.

We tested many different design solutions for this goal, and eventually settled on adding a diamond to the center of the current icon design and changing the layout of the color slots on the icon.
We’re hoping these new improvements will offer a better experience for Guardians looking to show off their best looks.
Hello everyone, PvP Strike Team here to talk about Special ammo in the Crucible. Since Update 7.3.5, we’ve been doing a substantial amount of iteration on our Special ammo distribution systems. We’ve tried the meter system in multiple playlists as well as two different versions of the ammo crates system in Competitive, Hardware, and for a limited time in Trials. Some people asked why we are bothering to do this level of experimentation, and we’d like to explain it.
The Respawn System
The original Special ammo distribution system was brought into the game with Forsaken and, combined with allowing players to pick up ammo from defeated opponents, it eventually peaked in a short period of time where Special weapons eclipsed Primary weapons for final blows in Crucible. We walked it back several times, mostly focused on how much ammo you could pick up from bricks on the ground, but we were still left in a position of one-shot kill Special weapons making up a substantial percentage of Crucible final blows and contributing to many of the issues with sandbox readability we have discussed before.

- Hive
- Blood of Oryx
- Ogre
- Worm
- Void eye beam
- Venomous gaze
- Unstable Light
- Monstrous strength and durability
- Ogres are forged -- through tortuous trials and dark rituals -- from corrupted and deformed Thralls known as Unborn. They know only pain and are conditioned to hate and despise the Light.
- Golgoroth is a Hive Ogre, infested with burrowing parasites related to the Worm gods and committed to Oryx’s service. One of the most powerful ogres ever known, Golgoroth was felled aboard the Dreadnaught by the same brave fireteam that delivered the Taken King his final death.
- Vanguard operatives uncovered that Golgoroth was enlisted as a vessel to both tithe violence directly to Oryx and corrupt hordes of stolen Light from Oryx’s conquests. The ogre’s flesh also served as containment for a Tablet of Ruin.

Rahool’s Frequent Decryptor Program
The experience of grinding out new Exotic armor can be a time-consuming process. It can take quite a few runs to get the drop you’re looking for, and many more to get one that has stats that support your build. Besides that, with Exotic armor pieces often forming the backbone of a powerful build, new players are regularly asked to spend a long time tackling challenging content solo before being able to run builds that support the most effective tactics.Luckily, the Econ Team has established a good working relationship with the Tower’s Number One Cryptarch over the last year as we added Exotic armor focusing, and we have managed to help Rahool set up a new promotional program of sorts that makes farming the armor you want more deterministic and less dependent on rotators.
Image Linkimgur
Starting in The Final Shape, Rahool is going to be the source for any new Exotic armor that we release. When you first talk to Rahool after The Final Shape launch, he will introduce you to a new rewards program tied to his brand-new Reputation Track. The idea is simple: the more you decode engrams with him, the more you increase your reputation with him. Once you completely fill the reputation track once and reset your rank, Rahool will allow you into an elite club, giving you access to a new tier of focusing.
Once you become one of Rahool’s “Engram Ensiders” (he was very proud of the name, so be nice to him), you’ll be able to purchase any piece of Exotic armor for any character on your account for one Exotic engram and one Exotic cipher, in addition to the previous focusing options. Because this is tied to Rahool’s new reputation track, there is no weekly limit to using this tier of focusing; as long as you still have Exotic ciphers and engrams, you can keep rolling armor.
With this change, we are also altering the way that old sources of Exotic armor work. First, Lost Sectors will keep the same drop rates for Exotics but will instead drop engrams whenever they would have previously dropped gear. Neomuna will also still drop new Exotic armor when you complete a Vex Strike Force encounter, but we won’t be adding any more new armor to the drop list after Season of the Wish.
With these changes, we know you’re wondering, “How long will it take to get this newfangled tier of focusing? I’ve got the World’s First Race to prepare for, wot wot!” Without going into the exact numbers, the actions that will give the most reputation will be precision decryption (aka Tier 2 focusing), followed by advanced decryption, then opening an Exotic engram , and last but also least, opening a prime engram. So, if you want to be ready for the Witness’s forces as soon as possible, make sure to stock up on Exotic engrams and Ascendant Shards before June 4, as with a little more than a full stock of Exotic engrams you’ll be able to start focusing new armor.
Shader Icon Revamp
With The Final Shape, we're upgrading the look and design of the shader icon layout. Shaders are a core way a player can provide a unique look and feel to their Guardian, and we wanted to help continue to make that a better experience. Our goal with this update is to help make the shader icons more accurately reflect the colors and textures they will apply.Image Linkimgur
Currently, there are some issues that can make the experience of applying a shader inconsistent. The first being that, while each shader applies six colors, only four are currently shown on the shader icon. This can sometimes result in the shader appearing differently than players may expect from the icon preview.
Adding to this is the fact that all four color sections of the current shader icon are equal in shape and size, making it difficult to distinguish what the main colors will be when applied. There are also many shaders that have unique glows that players strive for, and with the current design, they are not represented. Gambit Jadestone is a great example of this.

Image Linkimgur
To help address these issues, we've made updates to the shader icon design that includes all six colors for that shader. We are also changing the design in a way that makes the primary colors appear to take more space than the secondary colors for a more accurate representation with most gear items. Glows are also reflected in the updated design so it will be easier to distinguish those shaders within your shader selection screens.

We tested many different design solutions for this goal, and eventually settled on adding a diamond to the center of the current icon design and changing the layout of the color slots on the icon.
We’re hoping these new improvements will offer a better experience for Guardians looking to show off their best looks.
PvP Strike Team Update
Image LinkimgurHello everyone, PvP Strike Team here to talk about Special ammo in the Crucible. Since Update 7.3.5, we’ve been doing a substantial amount of iteration on our Special ammo distribution systems. We’ve tried the meter system in multiple playlists as well as two different versions of the ammo crates system in Competitive, Hardware, and for a limited time in Trials. Some people asked why we are bothering to do this level of experimentation, and we’d like to explain it.
The Respawn System
The original Special ammo distribution system was brought into the game with Forsaken and, combined with allowing players to pick up ammo from defeated opponents, it eventually peaked in a short period of time where Special weapons eclipsed Primary weapons for final blows in Crucible. We walked it back several times, mostly focused on how much ammo you could pick up from bricks on the ground, but we were still left in a position of one-shot kill Special weapons making up a substantial percentage of Crucible final blows and contributing to many of the issues with sandbox readability we have discussed before.
While the respawn system had its issues and we felt there was some room for improvement, it did do a decent job of balancing ammo distribution between high- and low-performing players, with high-performing players on average utilizing Special ammo 1.5-2 times more than low performing players. Similarly, with years of the system in place, the Special weapon meta had solidified nicely. Shotguns were at the top, with around 47% of Special weapon kills. Snipers and Fusions combined to make up 43%, and all the other Special weapons were the remaining 10%.
When investigating changes to the respawn system, it became apparent that we were very limited in terms of how we could tune the system to get the desired effects, and that led us to investigate two additional systems. While we wanted to be able to solve the problem of too many one-hit kills in PvP, it was important to us that the new systems did not introduce new and potentially worse problems.
The Meter System
To understand the meter system, we first need to take you through its development. This system was originally intended to be experimental, utilized only in the temporary Labs mode, Checkmate. It was built using a combination of other existing systems co-opted from various parts of the game that allowed us to do things we could not usually do in Crucible, like retaining the state of the meter between lives and between rounds (an invisible stat on the scoreboard the game reads back every time you respawn), dropping ammo directly onto the player in a transmat (an invisible ammo crate that opens directly above you and then deletes itself), carrying the full amount of ammo over between deaths (utilizing the logic system we use in PvE activities to re-grant you ammo on spawn), and displaying the current progress of the meter (the UI bar borrowed from Exotic weapon and activities buffs).
Reception to the system in Checkmate was mixed, but we saw there was a lot of potential in our first truly “earnable” Special ammo system. Since its introduction, we have iterated on it several times, including earlier this week, and have gotten it into a much more acceptable state. Unfortunately, as the meter system has been exposed to the wider game for an extended period, we have run into two core issues which have required us to continue to look for possible solutions.
Balance Issues – The overall balance of the meter system in the wider sandbox has been concerning. It primarily benefits one player type over all others, with players who routinely perform above average in their lobbies getting the double benefits of having more Special ammo than the respawn system allowed at certain points in the game, while their opponents often have much less. In the meter system, high-performing players are earning Special ammo at 3.5 times the rate of lower-performing players, a delta which has led to many non-high-performing players abandoning Special weapons entirely. In Competitive, for example, with the meter system in use low-performing players were more likely to get kills with Heavy ammo weapons than they were with Special ammo weapons.
The weapon balance has become similarly one-sided, as it promotes Shotguns as the main solution, and all other Special weapons are perceived as no longer useful for most players when in an ammo-limited situation. Under the meter system, Shotguns have more than 76% of Special weapon kills, with Fusions and Snipers reduced to a combined 18%, and the rest of the Special weapons making up only 6%. This has led to a very “rich get richer” meta, where the best performing players and weapons are now even stronger by comparison without having to do anything differently.
Earlier this week we took steps to improve on these issues, but the difficulty we face in a system where Special ammo is almost entirely earned is that we have limited room to close the gap between high and low performers before it functionally becomes "everyone gets Special ammo on a timer," which is something we'd like to avoid.
Technical Issues – Balance problems aside, being built on tech that was not designed to be used in this way has exposed multiple issues that, upon investigation, we determined could not be easily fixed in the meter’s current state. Some things, like being unable to notify opponents that an ammo transmat has occurred or give starting ammo on join-in-progress, are already apparent to players. Other problems, which are far more significant, appear in the backend and affect how we handle several of the processes, impacting our ability to both balance and maintain the system in the long term. Functionally, these combined issues require us to rebuild the meter from the ground up as a new, dedicated system. We feel the system has shown enough merit that this is something we are undertaking for a future release.
The Crates System
As a potential fallback for the meter system, the Special ammo crates system was resurfaced and iterated upon. The crates system has several benefits from a design perspective, including the ability to place crates in key zones around the map to help encourage player movement in non-objective or objective-optional modes and prevent coagulation around a single power position, as well as offering the ability to delay Special weapon pushes in round-based modes.
The crates system has also, based on its time in Competitive and Trials, done some positive things in terms of moving Special ammo distribution closer to healthy values. The delta between high- and low-performing players has moved back to 2.4 times, and it has led to less late-game snowballing, as players who do try to hoard Special ammo lose it upon death. Weapon balance is similarly improved, although not optimal, and there is significantly increased variety with Shotguns coming down to 59% of kills, Fusions and Snipers combining for 28% of kills, and all other Special weapons increasing to 13% of kills.
Ultimately, the crates system in isolation also has several major problems. It can present a frustrating amount of friction between playing the game how you want and playing the game how you need to if you want to run a Special ammo weapon. Additionally, in round-based modes, it is too frictionless to run double Special ammo weapons. It is also the first system we have introduced that allows players to directly influence the Special ammo economy of the opposing team, as controlling most crates can help starve the other team of Special ammo.
From a strategic perspective this is an interesting mechanic, but with no other way to earn Special ammo in gameplay it serves to be more frustrating than fun, and many players have struggled to adapt to the change, causing additional friction when playing in matchmade teams.
The “Blended” 1-1-1 System
Each of the above-listed systems has both positives and negatives. In isolation, each system helps and hurts a different part of the population, but none of them holistically solves the Special ammo problem.
- The respawn system offers a safe distribution of ammo amongst players, and the ease of availability promotes special weapon diversity, but giving two kill’s worth to every player every life also results in far too many one-hit kills for a healthy sandbox.
- The meter system allows players to earn Special ammo in a deterministic way and increases the rate of earning if you’re playing well, which feels rewarding for high-performing players. On the other hand, for low-performing players, it feels significantly worse, and it promotes a homogenous Special weapon meta.
- The crate system allows us to promote movement around the map, alter push timings, reward map control, and give players more direct control over the amount of Special ammo in play for their opponents. It also causes significant friction by forcing conflict with optimal player flows and between matchmade teams, and it allows too much Special ammo in round-based modes.
- Players will respawn each life with one kill worth of Special ammo for their chosen weapon. This serves as a stopgap for players to make sure they are never going long amounts of time with an empty weapon and encourages more players to continue to utilize Special weapons, albeit in a limited fashion. Setting the ammo at one instead of two kill’s worth ensures that there is not a surplus of Special ammo that is available for minimum effort. Spawning with one also functions as a healthy mid-point between spawning with none in the crates system and retaining all ammo with the meter.
- All Primary weapon final blows will drop a personal ammo brick that awards one kill’s worth of Special ammo. This is our deterministic, earnable method of distributing ammo in the blended system until our purpose-built version of the ammo meter is ready. What this means is that any of your final blows with a Primary weapon will drop an ammo brick that only you can pick up, regardless of whether the opponent you defeated had Special ammo on them. Likewise, if you defeat a player who has Special ammo using a Special ammo weapon, that will not drop a brick on the ground, so like the meter system, you cannot use Special to directly earn more Special. We will be initially introducing this specific portion of the system into the Competitive playlist starting next week, to help address player complaints about the economy in those modes.
- Crates will continue to exist, but their icon visibility range on the HUD has been decreased, and they will only provide a single kill’s worth of Special ammo when opened. These crates will continue to serve as points of interest around a map, but it will no longer be a requirement for players to interact with them to partake in the Special ammo system. They will instead function as a small bonus for players who take the time to engage with them and an optional mid-point step for players to gain Special ammo that is more effort than simply respawning with it, but less effort than getting a Primary weapon final blow.
Superblack Shader Now Available
With the final two BRAVE weapons available this week, players will receive the final quests needed to unlock the much-anticipated Superblack shader. Players can unlock the shader by earning the Superblack Key Alpha from Shaxx, and Superblack Key Omega from Arcite 90-40. Using both will grant you access to the Superblack Containment and to the shader. If you’re a Hunter…er…a player of any class, you’ll want to grab this new Shader and look your finest.Player Support Report

WINDOWS 7 AND 8 SUPPORT
Beginning on June 4, 2024, Destiny 2 is ending support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 operating systems. This decision is to align with Steam and Microsoft ending support for these systems.
Destiny 2 may continue running on these older operating systems after June 4, 2024, but we are unable to guarantee continued functionality after that date.
Players using these operating systems to play Destiny 2 are urged to upgrade to a more recent version of Windows or move to another platform so that their playtime won't be interrupted.
For more information, please view our Windows 7 and 8 Support article.
PANTHEON CHECKPOINTS
Due to an issue preventing players from progressing in The Pantheon when joining at a checkpoint, we have disabled checkpoints for The Caretaker and Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets. We are attempting to resolve this issue as soon as possible and will provide an update when we have more information to share.
ARCHIE QUEST INFORMATION
We've seen confusion surrounding the weekly Archie Hunt quests and wanted to offer clarification. These quests are only intended to be available for one week each and were made with this time limit in mind. We understand that this is not ideal for all players, which is why we made the shader available for one completion for any of the weekly quests. The lore attached to these triumphs will become available to all players when The Final Shape launches on June 4.
KNOWN ISSUES
While we continue investigating various known issues, here is a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:
- In Onslaught, players may be teleported back to the incorrect ADU location after completing certain phases.
- The ADU in Onslaught can occasionally despawn.
- On rare occasions, the Spark in Onslaught can be lost.
- The portal to leave a boss phase in Onslaught will sometimes not open when killing a boss too quickly.
- BRAVE weapons The Recluse and Hammerhead don’t highlight enemies like their previous models.

Ok folks. Buckle in and hear me out.
First, disclaimer: I'm a pretty average earner in a single income household, and I'd like to buy a house at some point. I have a down payment fund set up, and I'm not trying to time the market, as much as looking to find an ideal place. Essentially, I'm neither a bull nor a bear.
Now - I'd like to share a few thoughts:

First, disclaimer: I'm a pretty average earner in a single income household, and I'd like to buy a house at some point. I have a down payment fund set up, and I'm not trying to time the market, as much as looking to find an ideal place. Essentially, I'm neither a bull nor a bear.
Now - I'd like to share a few thoughts:
- Canada imports many many people every year. 60-70 percent of these come in to fill ranks in jobs that do not earn very high wages, and many don't come with material funds to invest in a home as soon as they land (let's call this cat 1). The government is under serious pressure to curtail this bucket of immigrants right now.
- Canada also imports a good portion of its upper middle class (think 200-500k in HHI) from the US and other countries (read: H1b holders who do not have a path to green card, primarily Chinese or Indian nationals, or similarly situated people from around the world), who essentially come to Canada with a boatload of savings, ready to throw it towards a house purchase (let's call this cat 2).
- people in cat 2 typically buy-to-live, and may have the ability to buy a second investment property to rent out as well (at the time they land here, i.e.)
- in years past, it used to be that transplanting oneself from one country to another was a big deal, and not something that happens often. You migrate to settle, thats it. However, it's not the case any more. From anecdotal evidence to actual conversations I've had, many many people in cat 2 came to Canada, realized the place didn't offer much in comparison to where they came from (be it the US or someplace else - high taxes with little in return), and essentially leave (or plan to leave) as soon as they qualify for Canadian citizenship. Most would liquidate their assets in Canada and leave for good (or at least intend to).
- Therefore, I think the 'reverse migration' of the critical middle class immigrants, who actually are a big net positive to the tax burden of the country, is going to happen a lot sooner than with previous cohorts of immigrants (i.e. from the 90s or early 00s compared to now)
- this will have a meaningful impact on real estate, I think. The market won't crash, but will go into a kind of stall, where it de-grows by 4-5 percent every year. Condos will probably slide a lot compared to homes, but it won't be a good asset class to invest in, as it was in years prior. The rest of the oecd will finally catch up to us on the index, and only when immigration really kicks back up, will gains be seen.
- there is also the meaningfully chance of an acrual crash, if interest rates remain high and serviceability of debt burden becomes an actual problem (the whole 'buy to rent' biz model is also under pressure, cos you can't slumlord your way to being a millionaire anymore, with cat 1 immigration going down)
Interested in knowing other views. Happy Thursday !

2024.05.02 20:06 New-Wrap-9073 Need relationship/break up/NC/basic life advice? Just wanna vent?
Maybe I can help?? 🥺
After recently going through a horrible heartbreak that is still taking every ounce of my energy. I decided to put my pain aside and try to help others, because this has been hell for me, and I know how hard I tried searching for free or even cheap relationship help, but couldn't get/find it. So I posted on my personal social media for people to write me and I'd help them and give them personal advice on their specific situation. Much to my surprise, this blew up and what was supposed to be something that helped me connect with others suffering and help ease someone's unbearable pain, turned into somewhat of a "calling" I guess you could say. Focusing on helping other people to avoid and manage that horrific pain has helped start to heal and I've surprisingly done a lot to help a LOT more people than I ever thought I would. I'm not a therapist, licensed or anything at all. I've just seen, done, and been through a hell of a lot. I've talked to about 28 people in the past 3 weeks. And it all started because I helped 1 person on a whim. I'm an intense empath, so I guess I have a "talent" (I guess you'd say?) for really feeling what other people are feeling and why they may be feeling this way. DM me if you'd like some help. :) since my social media one went so well and I'm wanting to try and do this for a side hustle (or maybe main hustle-I've enjoyed it so much!!) I am doing them for $10. (Cashapp, Venmo & PayPal but will not ask for payment until my response is written out and ready to be sent)I will read over your situation, ask questions, really try and understand everything, and then tell you everything I think and feel about your situation. I'll also try and look at it from your partner's point of view, help you figure out their attachment style, love language, and the best course of action for that would suit you and them. I do ask that you give me 24-48hrs though. I actually care and am doing this because I genuinely want to help people. Giving me that time gives me time to read, analyze, etc. But I know how bad it hurts, and you are not alone! I wish someone had done this months ago when I was first hurt and needed help. :/
I've also been through several tragedies, ridden the struggle bus to every miserable destination I can think of. I've been through some things. All kinds of things. So, if something's on your mind and it's not relationship-related, hit me up! Judgement free zone. Nothing off limits. I just wanna help. I've had my fair share of depression, anxiety, helplessness, despair, etc.
I'm starting an IG page for this, but it isn't ready yet. I know how bad I hurt when I first split with my ex. Hell, I'm STILL in pain. But I'm working through it. Slowly. Oh, so, slowly. But, I'm trying. 💔

2024.05.02 20:05 Dsg1695 Is this a decent salary for working as a Financial Aid Advisor remotely in FL?
Higher education & previously also worked in FA & Academic Advising (about 4 years of experience). This is one the higher salaries I’ve seen during my recent job search, it’s 47k annually & 22.60 hourly. The benefits are similar to my last role when it comes to the deductions & offerings, only thing lacking is PTO accrual (10 days in the first yr). I think this is also higher compared to local colleges because the main campus is based in TX.

2024.05.02 20:05 ToxiccCookie Looking for recommendations on a deep fryer and what oil or shortening to use?
I’m heavily considering buying a deep fryer. I only normally fry something maybe once or twice a month. Mainly for some crispy battered chicken for Chinese or when I make Moroccan cigars. I have just been using a large skillet with an inch or so of vegetable oil. It works fine but half the time I’m fighting to not burn myself. Then obviously afterwards I toss out a decent amount of oil and it just feels wasteful.
My ex’s mom had a tiny deep fryer, I don’t know the type but it was like a small cylinder with a basket to fish out the food. Anyways she would put shortening in the fryer so after using it, it would go back to a solid state. Then she would continue to use the shortening until it was properly used, then scoop it out in the trash and replace it. There was never any bad odors or anything. It was actually the first time I had seen a deep fryer in someone’s house.
I’ve been looking around this subreddit and haven’t seen anyone mention using shortening, is that not recommended? Is it really bad to use or something? I also see a lot of people saying that deep fryers stink and are terrible to use. But I loved hers since you can just throw food in and then put the lid on so you’re not constantly burning your arm. Am I missing something?

2024.05.02 20:05 priyanshu123sah Begginer guide to FIFA 24 (first time to Franchise)
I recently switched from mouse and keyboard to a controller . Only ever played Fifa once with my brother few years ago when visting him . I have little experience with FIFA games and I’m not very familiar with football in general.
After launching FIFA 24, I found the menu quite confusing. So far, I've only managed to play the Kickoff mode against bots which doesn't feel fun even if you are wining . my main reason for gettign the latest FIFA was to play against other people, not bots, as playing against AI doesn’t feel immersive to me.
The PLayer carrer different from what i thought instead of story mode with matches it's just kind of SIm games which is quite different than i imagined .
I’ve tried accessing other game modes like Volta and Ultimate Team, but I’m struggling to find matches. I waited about 20 minutes in Volta only to have one person join and then leave almost immediately.
Am I missing something, or is this typical of the online FIFA scene? Is the game only enjoyable if you have friends who play FIFA , or are there tips for a better solo experience?

hi everyone, i am just a guy that's trying to figure out how to build my first deck (on my own). i have built one before about 5 years ago but had help from people who knew what they were doing. this time around i'll be tackling this mainly on my own and it's not wood this time it will be composite. i have been trying to find a deck design tool that i get a blueprint and material list from. i have used decks.com but have been having trouble with the interface. does anyone have some other suggestions? also any tips for doing the actual deck build would be appreciated as well.

2024.05.02 20:04 Beautiful_Praline382 Scalp problem!! [Routine Help]
![Scalp problem!! [Routine Help]](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/CXbBQajQuCjQbO-dXZASRP_bBK7DjuQmAi3hHen4RQM.jpg "Scalp problem!! [Routine Help]") | I’m hoping this is okay for this page? submitted by Beautiful_Praline382 to SkincareAddiction [link] [comments] Hi, sorry for gross photos but I’m having this problem with my scalp its very dry and flakey with the main problem being these larger flakes that clump together bits of hair and the root and pull out the hair if I try to remove them (which you can see at the top of the first photo). It’s not crazy itchy or anything but does feel inflamed if I pick at it at all. I’ve had it for a while, have currently been using the Elvive hydra pure shampoo and scalp treatment (has salicylic and hyaluronic acids) as I also suffer from a very oily scalp but i think that may be making it worse. I’m really not sure what to do as I have very thin and oily hair normally but then at the same time get this horrible dryness? Does anyone know if this might be a certain scalp condition and if there’s anything I can do/products to use to help? I am based in the UK just for reference. I also saw someone else on reddit describing something similar caused by their PCOS which I also have. Any help will be so appreciated!! |
2024.05.02 20:04 slumberingdreams 22[M4F] California/Anywhere - Nerd looking for ssbbw/bbw
Hey there, I'm looking for someone new to talk to with the possibility of it becoming something more! (as the title says, I do prefer much larger body types as they're cute to me, but please know I'm not looking for sexual chat!) I really love learning about people, and would love to learn about someone new, about their passions and interests, and have someone who loves doing the same in return! I ideally would like to talk on discord eventually!
As the title says, I'm definitely more of a nerd than anything, haha. I love reading, cooking and baking, video games, and generally more homebody hobbies. I currently live in California and I'm going to start my first year of College this fall! To describe myself, I'm around 5'10, dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and I'm definitely on the heavy side (although I'm losing weight, down 10 pounds and counting!). I also lean towards the asexual spectrum, so I'd like someone okay with that!
For a partner, I'd ideally want someone genuine and caring, and while not required, it'd really help if you shared some of my hobbies! I don't have many appearance preferences, tbh!

2024.05.02 20:04 z0mbiepirate How to handle this situation in my class
Hi friends,
I am a fellow professor, but I luckily haven't had to deal with a lot of instances of cheating, other than the occasional AI-written work.
I teach a programming class which is often their first interaction with coding. For the final project, they are to make a little game and I give them a complete working example they can work from. I met with a student last week for over an hour and a half, walking them through the issues with their code. It was in a spot where all the errors were fixed and she had to add a few things (again, where there is a completed example to go off of). When it was turned in, it was completely rewritten to a level there is no way they are at. They questioned their grade and I asked to meet with them so they can explain why they did their code that way (there's no way they knew how to do some of the things in there).
They indicated they used outside help from a programmer to complete the assignment. I am not sure how to handle this. I do say they can use AI for snippets of code if they don't know how to do something as long as they comment that they used it, but it seems like the entire assignment was done by someone that wasn't her. How would you approach this?

2024.05.02 20:01 lllsandralll Question of the Week: what are your top three favorite fanon ships and why?
Hi guys!
Cykaale and I are taking turns on a new weekly activity: question of the week!
For this first answer, anyone who knows me well definitely knows Jon/Val is my favorite. A mixture of me obsessing over them, since they are the main ship of my fic, and me being in love with their canon interactions, their potentiality as a match, and the dynamic that could be expanded in literally any direction.
Second: Nedshara. For almost the same reasons as Jon/Val, except their canon interactions (or lack of), sadly. I just love testing and stretching the dynamics of characters. It's what fanon is for imo!
Last, this is a tough one to pick, but I have to say Lyanna/Howland. This pair barely exist in fanfcs (for shame), but I see them having great potential honestly. Lyanna deserves a decent match.

2024.05.02 20:00 Str1dersGonnaStride TLD vs Green Hell
Somewhat off topic but I started playing Green Hell due to someone mentioning it in this sub so curious to see how many other TLD fans play it and your thoughts.
I recently realized I was burnt out on TLD after losing runs in progressively stupid ways and decided to take a break and play one of the other survival games I have been stocking up on. Settled on Green Hell and have played probably 6-10 hours now. For those that are unaware of the game,, Green Hell was originally described to me as "the long dark but in the jungle". While that's not completely accurate, it'll suffice as a description. The premise is pretty similar: you are stranded in the rainforest and have to do your best to survive.
First impressions were that it is a beautiful game, but after actually playing for a bit I find the graphics are really glitchy. Even though TLD has some graphical bugs, it's overall much more immersive and smooth even though the graphics are highly stylized. And I have yet to experience a "wow" moment in GH like you have in TLD sometimes, like when the sun is setting while you're chilling in the forest ranger tower etc. TLD is truly a beautiful game while GH has beautiful assets, if that makes sense.
Another first impression was wow I can jump! Which feels revolutionary after so much TLD. But GH has a radial menu similar to TLD, and the default hotkey to open it is very awkward imo. I keep jumping when I am trying to use it because I keep forgetting what game I'm playing. Another weird thing is how "free" fire is. It lasts so long and is so easy to start one. Also not healing while sleeping really threw me off.
But the main difference is in the base building. GH is all about base building, to the extent that so far I don't really have any reason to do anything else. I realized TLD is incredible at encouraging the player to explore the world with objectives like mapping, memento caches, etc. GH has yet to encourage me to explore out of my little starting area as everything seems to respawn really quickly and there's no need to go far to collect resources. But the base building is quite extensive and I really enjoy how smoothly it works, especially the options for storage. It made me really hopeful for TLD to get some base building options, even though full scale construction projects would not fit in the TLD world.

2024.05.02 20:00 New-Wrap-9073 Need relationship/break up/NC/basic life advice? Just wanna vent? AMA!
Maybe I can help?? 🥺
After recently going through a horrible heartbreak that is still taking every ounce of my energy. I decided to put my pain aside and try to help others, because this has been hell for me, and I know how hard I tried searching for free or even cheap relationship help, but couldn't get/find it. So I posted on my personal social media for people to write me and I'd help them and give them personal advice on their specific situation. Much to my surprise, this blew up and what was supposed to be something that helped me connect with others suffering and help ease someone's unbearable pain, turned into somewhat of a "calling" I guess you could say. Focusing on helping other people to avoid and manage that horrific pain has helped start to heal and I've surprisingly done a lot to help a LOT more people than I ever thought I would. I'm not a therapist, licensed or anything at all. I've just seen, done, and been through a hell of a lot. I've talked to about 28 people in the past 3 weeks. And it all started because I helped 1 person on a whim. I'm an intense empath, so I guess I have a "talent" (I guess you'd say?) for really feeling what other people are feeling and why they may be feeling this way. DM me if you'd like some help. :) since my social media one went so well and I'm wanting to try and do this for a side hustle (or maybe main hustle-I've enjoyed it so much!!) I am doing them for $10. (Cashapp, Venmo & PayPal but will not ask for payment until my response is written out and ready to be sent)I will read over your situation, ask questions, really try and understand everything, and then tell you everything I think and feel about your situation. I'll also try and look at it from your partner's point of view, help you figure out their attachment style, love language, and the best course of action for that would suit you and them. I do ask that you give me 24-48hrs though. I actually care and am doing this because I genuinely want to help people. Giving me that time gives me time to read, analyze, etc. But I know how bad it hurts, and you are not alone! I wish someone had done this months ago when I was first hurt and needed help. :/
I've also been through several tragedies, ridden the struggle bus to every miserable destination I can think of. I've been through some things. All kinds of things. So, if something's on your mind and it's not relationship-related, hit me up! Judgement free zone. Nothing off limits. I just wanna help. I've had my fair share of depression, anxiety, helplessness, despair, etc.
I'm starting an IG page for this, but it isn't ready yet. I know how bad I hurt when I first split with my ex. Hell, I'm STILL in pain. But I'm working through it. Slowly. Oh, so, slowly. But, I'm trying. 💔

2024.05.02 19:57 FahboyMan Not-so-subtle political messeges in the game?
I think there are some political messages in the game's story, especially when considered with the Chinese political situation in mind.
submitted by FahboyMan to houkai3rd [link] [comments]
- First, the OST "Reburn" is all about individualism, libertarianism and borderline anarchism.
- Second, the OST "Nightglow" is about the fallen fighters passing on their ideals and beliefs to the living, while also encouraging and empowering them to follow suite. The "Fallen" in this case, can be inferred as the protesters in Tiananmen Square, 1989.
- Third, the OST "Starfall" is very rebellious, the same as Reburn. Additionally, the "the barrier above the crowd" mentioned in its lyrics can be inferred with much confidence as the control the CCP has over the people of China.
- Fourth, the story of Otto Apocalypse is a tale of how a "good" leader can become lost in greed and corruption after being in absolute power for far too long. This is a projection of Xi Jinping and the CCP.
- Fifth, the story of Kevin Kaslana (read *the CCP*) trying to defeat the honkai (read *COVID-19*) at all cost, completely disregarding human lives, even though the only thing he cares about this whole time is neither his people nor humanity, but rather his girlfriend (read *wealth and power*).
- Sixth, Anti-Entropy and Hyperion Rebels are stories of bands of intellectuals who saw through the lies of their superiors and high command, chose to revolt, and fought with their lives, to finally achieve justice.
2024.05.02 19:57 buysellabiz Sellers, Get Your Shit Together!
Welcome to Paradise!
Congratulations on the recent sale of your business!
That’s what we all want to hear at some point, right?
Unfortunately, that’s NOT likely to happen for you. Only about 20% of all businesses end up selling. That’s 1 in 5. According to the SBA, 1 in 12 businesses simply close their doors every year, no sale at all. The statistics are not in your favor, due primarily to poor planning, or really, no planning at all. 72% of business owners don’t have an exit plan of any kind, yet more than half expect to leave their business within the next 10 years.
So come on! Let’s get your shit together!
The sale of your business will no doubt be the largest transaction of your financial life. Way bigger than selling a vehicle and probably much larger than any house you’ve sold. IF you’re able to sell at all. Plus, you want to be able to leave on your own terms, not because of economic hardships or health reasons or plain old burnout.
We’ll start with the basics. The 9 steps to selling your business. We’ll run through all 9 steps pretty quickly, then dive into each of them a bit more. On a couple of them we may go deep; even do some public math.
Can you hear the Beach Boys playing…Bermuda Bahama, come on pretty mamma. Smell the salty air. Feel the sun on your brow…
Take a deep breath. You’re considering selling your business. Picture all the things you’re planning to do after the sale.
Retirement, a fresh start, ahhh, you can almost taste it.
The Pina Colada.
The tropical retreat and white sand beaches.
The little sports car you’ve always wanted.
The vacation to make up for all the vacations you’ve passed up on as you poured your blood, sweat and tears into your business.
The golf club membership so you can play every. single. day.
And of course, easy money for your day-to-day living expenses.
You start to do the math...
“That probably adds up to about $2,000,000, so that’s what I’ll sell my business for. Not a penny less,” you’re thinking. “I missed half of my kids’ birthday parties and most of their ball games. (At least it got me out of those horrid musicals.) But I’m not missing out this time! I’ll sell my business for $2,000,000, maybe a hair more. Get me a broker and line up the buyers!” as you greedily rub your hands together.
Wake up! You’re dreaming!
This is a common, but inaccurate valuation method I’ve seen too many times. Known as Pie in the Sky. Also referred to as the Your Full of Shit Business Valuation Method.
Or look at it from your buyer’s perspective. Are they going to be wondering, how the hell did you come up with that price?
Valuation doesn’t work this way. Your business does have value, hopefully a ton of value, but it requires some math and a little logic.
The first step to selling your business is to determine a true value based on the numbers.
You’ll need the last five years of tax returns. Yes, that’s kind of a lot but it will paint the most accurate picture, especially now. The Hard Core Covid Years will be in the middle of that 5-year span.
This is a very basic calculation, but it will give you a great starting point.
100% cash up front would be wonderful, but it’s not always the case. In fact, something like 80% of business sales involve at least a portion of seller financing. When I bought my tax practice, it was all seller financing, so was the deal I made with my partner when I bought him out. We sold the pizza pub on 100% seller financing as well.
Tell the story of how your grandpa started this business when he first came to the States. And how your dad took it to the next level and all the growth it’s enjoyed under your leadership.
Or how you pivoted during the pandemic and found even better ways to serve your clients. Talk about how most of your original team is still with you and the ways you’ve supported your community through different projects.
Develop good explanations for any “bad” stories. Maybe you knew an advancement in tech was coming so you postponed your equipment upgrade, for example.
Take strategic steps to increase the value of your business.
I know you are always looking for ways to improve, but now is the time to get serious. Kick it into high gear and make this sale count. It may take some time and effort, but selling your business is not a speedy process.
Ideally, you always keep the possibility of a future sale in mind and build toward that end.
This probably doesn’t appear to need much explanation, but exiting entrepreneurs struggle here more than you may think. If I had to guess, I would say much of your identity is tied up in your business, and that’s natural. But you may find a hole in your life and even your soul once your business is gone. I’m not a shrink, but I do recommend you give this next phase of your life some extra thought and planning.

We’ll start with the basics. The 9 steps to selling your business. We’ll run through all 9 steps pretty quickly, then dive into each of them a bit more. On a couple of them we may go deep; even do some public math.
- Calculate a preliminary business valuation
- Based on that valuation, consider what price and terms you may be willing to accept
- Write a business memorandum
- Clean up and organize bookkeeping and financials
- Begin to plan for the transition of your business to the buyer
- Make a list of potential buyers
- Assemble your deal team
- Work to increase the value of your business
- Live happily ever after! (Harder than you think)

Valuation doesn’t work this way. Your business does have value, hopefully a ton of value, but it requires some math and a little logic.
Step ONE:
PRELIMINARY BUSINESS VALUATIONThe first step to selling your business is to determine a true value based on the numbers.
You’ll need the last five years of tax returns. Yes, that’s kind of a lot but it will paint the most accurate picture, especially now. The Hard Core Covid Years will be in the middle of that 5-year span.
- Calculate average owner’s benefit over last five years
- Multiply average by 2
- Then multiply average by 4
- This is the general range of value for your business
- (Owner operated, under $1 million in annual sales company.)
This is a very basic calculation, but it will give you a great starting point.
- Real estate and inventory add additional value
- SaaS companies can multiply by 5 and 10 for their value range
- If you don’t know what a SaaS company is, you don’t have one 😊
Step TWO: PRICE AND TERMS
Consider what price and terms you may be willing to accept based on that valuation.100% cash up front would be wonderful, but it’s not always the case. In fact, something like 80% of business sales involve at least a portion of seller financing. When I bought my tax practice, it was all seller financing, so was the deal I made with my partner when I bought him out. We sold the pizza pub on 100% seller financing as well.
- 100% seller financing?
- Seller financing with a down payment?
- How much down payment?
- Bank financing?
- Bank and seller financing?
- SBA financing?
Step THREE: WRITE BUSINESS MEMORANDUM
This is the book report of your business. It's the company’s history/overview and claim to fame.Tell the story of how your grandpa started this business when he first came to the States. And how your dad took it to the next level and all the growth it’s enjoyed under your leadership.
Or how you pivoted during the pandemic and found even better ways to serve your clients. Talk about how most of your original team is still with you and the ways you’ve supported your community through different projects.
- The book report of your business
- Your listing price
- Items included with sale
- Basic financials
- Contact info
Step FOUR: CLEAN UP/ORGANIZE FINANCIALS
Get prepared for due diligence. You’ll be asked for full exposure.Develop good explanations for any “bad” stories. Maybe you knew an advancement in tech was coming so you postponed your equipment upgrade, for example.
- Create a data room with all relevant documents
- Stop running personal expenses through the business
- Make sure all tax filings & payments are up to date
Step FIVE: PLAN FOR THE TRANSITION
Most people don't give this nearly as much thought as they should. Especially if your business is relationship based, you'll want to determine how you interact with your clients after the sale.- How long are you willing to help your buyer?
- What tasks are you willing to do?
- Do you need additional compensation for this?
- What items do you insist on doing?
Step SIX: MAKE A LIST OF POTENTIAL BUYERS
Take an active role in your sale. Think of all the people and businesses you interact with during the course of a day. They could all be potential buyers.- Employees
- Suppliers
- Customers
- Competitors
- Compatible businesses
Step SEVEN: ASSEMBLE DEAL TEAM
Even an avid DIYer should not attempt to sell their business alone. An experienced deal team will work to protect your interests while still preserving the deal.- Attorney
- Accountant
- Realtor
- Investment advisor
- Deal quarter back
Step EIGHT: SELF-LIST ONLINE
Just like we have Zillow for real estate, there are several internet sites that allow you to list your own business for sale. They include: Openfair, Bizbuysell, and Bizquest among others.- Anyone can list their business on these sites
- No broker required
- Can use a third party if anonymity is required (attorney, accountant, BFF)
- Post your business book report
Step NINE:
INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR BUSINESSTake strategic steps to increase the value of your business.
I know you are always looking for ways to improve, but now is the time to get serious. Kick it into high gear and make this sale count. It may take some time and effort, but selling your business is not a speedy process.
Ideally, you always keep the possibility of a future sale in mind and build toward that end.
- Get google reviews
- Document processes
- Increase prices
- Hire missing staff
- Improve profitability
- Automate
This probably doesn’t appear to need much explanation, but exiting entrepreneurs struggle here more than you may think. If I had to guess, I would say much of your identity is tied up in your business, and that’s natural. But you may find a hole in your life and even your soul once your business is gone. I’m not a shrink, but I do recommend you give this next phase of your life some extra thought and planning.
BONUS:
- Have a plan for the sale proceeds
- Invest the proceeds wisely
- Have meaningful activities to keep your soul happy
