Thiughts on the Monte Carlo catalyst?

I messed around with it for an evening before moving to another build (can't wait for loadouts to be fixed!) and I really enjoyed it. I paired it with Winter's Guile for some crazy numbers. ~590k on a red bar! I did it on Strand with the new aspect, so I had woven mail up and full melee energy (because you mainly use the bayonet anyway) to have an escape card for when you get a bit too in the fray of things.

My only issue is chaining kills with it. If you get a bayonet kill, it gives you five stacks of Markov Chain, allowing you to activate it again, which is great. It gets a bit tiring doing it over and over. I wish they'd change it so getting a kill with it simply extends it, and just doing damage with no kill resets it.

Reminder to claim vendor engrams and Season 20 rewards before Season 22 begins on Tuesday, 8/22

From this week's TWID:

As we approach the end of Season of the Deep, players should make sure to claim all engrams and other rewards before the new Season begins. Any rewards not claimed from non-Seasonal vendors will be removed at the beginning of the next Season.

Players should ensure that they have collected any earned but unclaimed rewards from their Previous Season Pass page for Season of Defiance.

Previous Season Pass rewards can only be claimed up to one Season after it concludes. Once we transition into Season 22 on August 22, 2023, the Previous Season Pass page will be updated for Season of the Deep rewards.

TL;DR: claim any vendor engrams from the Tower as they'll be reset on Tuesday. Claim any season pass rewards from Season 20 (Season of Defiance) here.

My first customized guitar: a Squier Bullet Stratocaster HT

Excuse the meh photos, but my pup Tippy should make up for them. Did my first ever mods and went all-in with a complete replacement of everything on a SSS Bullet Strat. Here's what I did:

-SSL-1 Vintage Staggered in the neck -SSL-1 Vintage Staggered RWRP in the middle -SH-6b Distortion in the bridge -CTS 500k push-pull tone pot to coil split the Distortion -CTS 250k pots for the other tone and volume -Fender five-way switch (to replace the Squier import switch) -Copper shielding on the pickguard and control cavity -Abalone pearl pickguard -Treble bleed circuit on the volume pot

Next round of upgrades will be tuners, attention to the frets, etc, though this guitar already plays just as well or maybe even better (IMO) than my Player Telecaster. The Distortion is perfect for my typical black metal, and coil splitting gives it tons of versatility for the other genres I like such as shoegaze, emo, and more.

Season 22 Weapons Preview

Lots of great stuff here. Tons of tuning, exotic adjustments, and more. They've included a video preview of the Monte Carlo catalyst, the most complex they've done, and yes, it's exactly what you think! And Touch of Malice, my beloved, is getting a nice buff. Anyway, too much for me to add here, so dive in and point out your highlights in the comments.

Suggestions for customizing a Squier Bullet Strat?

I have a Lake Placid Blue Bullet Strat SSS HT arriving today that I bought (brand new) as my first guitar to modify. I'm also waiting on a new pickguard and a Seymour Duncan SH-6 to arrive as my first change. After that, I'm going to look into single coils to put in the neck and middle positions. I mainly play black metal (hence the SH-6), but also shoegaze, emo, goth, and general rock and stuff.

So, any suggestions for things to do? Could be for the guitar in general, or those specific genres. Any suggestions are welcome!
