The Glade 4.0

1) Each planet has an exotic weapon quest you can get from completing all the missions on that planet. Check the planet specific sections for guides.

2) Engrams have their light level decided on drop, not on decrypt.

3) You'll receive a choice from 3 Exotic Weapons once you complete the [INSERT] story mission, and a later mission will give you a shot at 3 armor pieces depending on your class. Do some digging on which ones you should get. Many people seem unhappy with their choices.

4) You receive a couple bright engrams from Eververse at some point through the story(and each time you 'level up' after lvl 20). this is where you have a chance to get a SPARROW , and it WILL carry over to your other characters.

5) If you open chests or pick up planetary material, don't run away from the chests. There is a chance you wont get your rewards.

6) Public Events and their time to availability can be seen by opening your map.

7) Each planet has tokens that drop from reward chests. these are simply turned in to that specific planets faction vendor for reputation, earning a legendary engram

8) Your other subclasses drop from public event chests. I got mine from doing heroics, so thats probably a good bet. once it drops, you need to charge the artifact. You need to kill enemies in a fireteam then complete a short 10 minute mission.

9) The weakpoint for Phalanx enemies is actually in the center of the shield

10) Weapon Mods/Shaders and Infusion - Mods are obtained from Legendary Engrams and eververse engrams Mods can also drop from ranking up the gunsmith. they are 1 time use.

11) Weapon infusions have to be of the same category. Submachine guns need submachine guns for example

12) All exotics come with a legendary element mod, which adds +5 power to the weapon in addition to changing its element. You need to take the BASE stats of an exotic into consideration when infusing.(Power level and then subtract 5)

13) Lost Sectors are just hidden loot areas visible on your map. Go in, find the yellow bar enemy and kill it so you can loot the chest inside. They seem to be RELOOTABLE after a certain time frame

14) You can fast travel while in patrol.

15) While in any given area, High value targets will appear and be noted on the bottom left of your screen. They are just yellow bar enemies, and killing them drops a chest. chests also drop subclass artifacts for unlocking your other subclasses so try to also look out for those

16) Cap for blue engrams is 265. You'll need faction packages and special mission rewards like nightfalls to get past this point

17) Its not recommended to start saving engrams for the Nessus exotic Quest unless you are close to the 260 light area. Focus on leveling as quickly as possible. Exotics are one of the only ways to level past 260 and these quest rewards are guaranteed exotics; so plan out how and when you will claim them

18) Eventually Cayde will be selling treasure maps. They help you locate his special chests around the game. WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE 260 TO DO THESE because they can drop high tier rewards, and we dont waste good loot 'round here

19) Ikora will give you whats called "Meditations". They simply allow you to replay story missions. Currently unknown if there are any hidden rewards

20) You can determine the detonation time from grenade launchers if you hold the button instead of tapping it. Grenades detonate upon release

21) Save Exotic Quests for when you are at 260 light. They are one of the only ways to level up past that.

22) The old faction vendors are no where to be found. Unfortunately, Datto's 10% ownership of FWC is now worthless and datto is broke, send him your love.

23) Raid will drop on Wednesday the 13th

24) There is a suspected raid exotic quest called "Await the World Eater"

Is the Speaker dead?

I replayed that mission with my daughter, and got to watch the cutscene again. It's still very unclear. You hear him grunt off-screen, and then The Consul releases him from the device that he was suspended from. However, it's not clear whether he killed him, or not. I think he killed him, because he was angry at Ghaul. Also, since Ghaul proceeded to strangle him to death, it makes me believe that he was enraged by The Speaker's death.
