Like many of the expansions that preceded it, much of the new content encourages grinding. Thankfully, the new weapons and the Masterworks update at least provide players with a decent reward for their hard work. As is often the case, busywork feels a lot less like busywork when there’s a meaningful end goal to motivate play
Altars of Reflection : Weekly activity that players can take on through specifically marked icons within the Throne World. These missions typically involve light puzzle solving as well as battling enemy combata
Map knowledge in any first-person shooter is really the make or break for you and your team going into a given match. However, if the only time you ever learn about the map is when your fireteam is matchmaking publicly, you’ll more than likely find yourself on the losing end of games. Destiny 2 isn’t the only game to emphasize the importance of location in PvP modes. Take advantage of private and custom match lobbies where you can really strategize and learn the layout of the land before hopping into a live ma
Keep platforming around a corner that juts to the right and continue upward and forward. Eventually, players will come across an opening on the right when they reach the final platform. Journeying through that door will lead Guardians through some twists and turns in what feels like a ventilation system. Shoot some metal grates to reveal more pathways and eventually jump down to the floor below. This is where fans will come across some of the quest’s primary mechanics to solve some puzzles: Levers and Spo
Curse of Osiris was the first expansion for Destiny 2 and many fans had high hopes for it prior to its release. Unfortunately, those hopes came crashing down to earth, falling flat like the expansion itself. It was somewhat reminiscent of the earlier expansions for the original game: rich in quantity but lacking in qual
Week Two of **Destiny 2 ** ’s Season of the Chosen kicked off on February 16, 2021, introducing the new exotic quest for the Dead Man’s Tale scout rifle and another week of seasonal challenges. An homage to leverage-action Winchesters made famous in Western films, Dead Man’s Tale sports low recoil and a perk that increases damage with each precision hit. The scout rifle is great for annihilating minor and major combatants and can even be a contender for boss damage if Guardians find themselves out of special and heavy a
For now, though, the Rite of the Nine activity continues forward with its revised schedule and enhanced reward system. Bungie stepped into a bit of controversy with the Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine event after players accused the studio of timegating content when it was discovered that each dungeon was on a three week cycle. However, the studio quickly pivoted and announced changes to the overall schedule and made loot more plenti
The Taken King had a hefty price tag when it was first released. What’s more, it also required the first two expansion packs in order to play it. Thankfully, it was worth every penny. It included a new story campaign, new enemies, and new locations. Pretty much new everything. The Taken King was almost like an entirely new game and couldn’t have arrived at a better t
The new storyline was definitely the highlight of the expansion and helped to breathe life into the game just as it looked to be on its last legs. The update also brought with it a host of quality-of-life improvements that helped to streamline the Destiny experience. In many ways, it felt like Destiny 's coming of age and marked the moment that the game finally realized its full potent

Follow the staircase across from the entrance until a Techeun is reached. Give the offering to the terminal the Techeun to earn the random piece of Dreaming City gear for the week. This can be done once per week per charac
Bungie’s argument for not creating a Destiny 3 hinges on the idea that they don’t want you or them to start over. It would be a strong argument if not for the fact that Destiny 2: Beyond Light feels like a reset. In the blink of an eye, Bungie has removed four worlds, countless strikes, numerous pieces of loot, Raids and entire questlines from the game. Europa is new, the Cosmodrome from Destiny is back, there’s one new Strike, a new Raid and a few new enemy types, but that’s not enough to cover what was lost, especially since that was all paid content.
It’s clear Destiny 2 , Bungie’s cosmic-sized first-person shooter has continued to grow in popularity, and in terms of the content offered by the franchise, for the last few years. With their newest expansion Beyond Light just weeks away from being released, countless players have spent much of their time painstakingly refining their loadouts and subclasses before planetary materials, quests, and weapons get vaul
