Strand Subclass for F2P?

[-=GHS=- Mrs. U]

Can a free 2 player get the new subclass?

I dont remember and google sucks.

Thanks.

Fairly sure no. There would be literally no reason to buy new overpriced DLC otherwise

[Bnn1]

No.

And Strand sucks anyways.

The overhyped thing about it was the Grapple hook ability, which is dependant on using grapple points, or "Strand empowered" areas found in the campaign.

Outside of that, you will suffer a tremendous nearly 1 minute cooldown.

So you either got to spam Orbs of light with any mod that gives grenade energy and spam grenade energy mods on your armor, or you will have to wait nearly 1 minute (52 seconds on 100 discipline) for a measly and useless Grapple grenade to come back.

If Bungie doesn't buff the recovery time of this ability grenade severely, it'll soon be used by nobody ever.

Warlocks are still indestructible on Solar with Phoenix, spamming infinite grenades in the well and infinite Rifts on grenade kill. As it is, strand is sub-par to any established Supers and abilities.

Thanks guys. <3

With all the fragments unlocked strand has huge potential even in high level activities like GM's. Don't let the new lights tell you otherwise all they see is 1:53 base cooldown grapple and start screaming.

But unfortunately no, not available unless you buy base Lightfall

No, it's the same as Stasis. Even if Bungie give people a trial of the full DLC and unlock it through the campaign, the powers are tied to ownership of the DLC and will relock after the trial is over.

You need to do some build crafting... even on the warlock you nade can be up every few seconds. Go read the fragments and go read every mod in the new mod system.
