Contest of Elders is fun but underwhelming

As someone who loved COIL I was so excited for this activity. But it let me down pretty hard to be honest.

Gameplay: Solid enemy density and variety Modifiers: Interesting and unique

Mechanics: Mostly fine but some are too easy

Difficulty: My biggest problem, it feels like a strike. Literally the entire time, the only times I die are if im being incredibly stupid or if grounded is active and I forget (warlock main). Other than that the bosses fall over and ads get shredded by supers. Normally I just don’t of flame to ad clear, leave the boss alone until challenge is done then kill the boss in 1 maybe 2 heavy GL mags (no surges or well btw).

Rewards: Absolutely atrocious. COIL probably gave too many rewards but this is awful. 30 min or so of gameplay that’s supposed to be challenging for… 10 or so total seasonal guns and 1 alloy/shard.

TLDR: Gameplay fine, difficulty too easy and rewards are less than a master campaign mission. Bungie needs to buff Contest of Elders loot
