Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: New Activities, Challenges, and Rewards
Xur, the exotic merchant of Destiny 2 , arrives every weekend until reset, giving players a short window to check out what he has in stock. With The Final Shape, Xur has seen a rework of what is on offer. Here’s what the merchant has for the weekend of
Sojourner’s Tale is the final Energy Override Weapon, and it is a Precision Frame Solar Shotgun. Precision Frame Shotguns fire a single-slug round (upon the first shot), and the weapon’s recoil pattern is predictably vertical. Sojourner’s Tale can be acquired from the Splicer Servitor rank, Splicer Armory, and Splicer’s Kell Armory engrams. Sojourner’s Tale can also be used to complete the Season of the Splicer Week 6 challenge „Shotgun Splicer.” The best perks for Sojourner’s Tale
Rise of Iron was the final expansion for the first Destiny game. While it was by no means a bad addition, it felt like a bit of an anticlimax. By this point, Bungie knew exactly what they were doing and which areas they needed to focus on, but it was a bare minimum type of effort rather than an attempt to go out with an emphatic b
It’s been six years since the original Destiny was released and every year it feels like we’re getting closer to finally facing off against the Darkness. Every year, however, we’re told it’ll happen later. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep last year made the most significant promise yet that Darkness was finally coming and Destiny2Base.Com Destiny 2: Beyond Light blows it. Destiny 2: Beyond Light is about as routine as Destiny 2 can be, offering a shallow campaign against a shallow antagonist, a new patrol zone, a new Strike and a new Raid. Stasis goes a long way to help freshen up the already great gameplay, but it does little to hide that a lot of content has been stripped away from the game and that we still don’t have a new enemy faction to face. There are genuine elements of greatness in Beyond Light, including an intriguing subplot that should have been the main campaign and a great raid, but it’s not enough to replace everything we’ve lost. Destiny 2: Beyond Light is another enjoyable Destiny adventure thanks to the lore and gameplay, but it does little to move Destiny 2 beyond the status quo.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a new Destiny 2 expansion without a new Raid and Beyond Light delivers a standout one. Deep Stone Crypt fuses atmosphere, storytelling, puzzles and challenge in an immensely satisfying way. It’s the crowning achievement of Beyond Light, even though few players might actually get a chance to enjoy it. After the Raid, there’s precious little else to do. As mentioned before, the removal of content has left the remainder of Destiny 2 a shell of its former self. There’s less of everything in Destiny 2: Beyond Light, but at least the gameplay is still fantastic. Bungie’s gunplay has been spot-on since it first released Halo: Combat Evolved and they’ve continuously improved it since then. Destiny 2: Beyond Light remains a fun, fluid shooter to play through and will help take your mind off the continuous grind for a bit.
Combat in this game is focused on combos, but equipping the right gear and getting better loot with each battle are important elements, too, which should be familiar for Destiny 2 players. The recent Reforged update also makes this the perfect time to jump into Dauntless ’ cooperative monster batt
Shattered Cipher is the last Override weapon, joining the ranks as a Rapid-Fire Frame, Void damaging, Power Machine Gun. While it does significantly less damage than most machine guns in Destiny 2, Shattered Cipher fires at 900 RPM. Like Sojourner’s Tale, this weapon can be acquired from the Splicer Servitor rank, Splicer Armory, and Splicer’s Kell Armory engrams. Shattered Cipher can also be used to complete the Season of the Splicer Week 7 challenge „Machine Gun Splicer.” The best perks for Shattered Cipher
Saint-14 and the Trails of Osiris offer players a high-end PvP activity in exchange for powerful rewards. Starting with Episode Heresy, Bungie made getting to the Lighthouse easier , while still offering top-tier rewards for those who can achieve a winning streak. Similar to most vendors in Destiny 2 , Saint-14 has a reputation system that rewards players for ranking up through playing and completing bount
Destiny 2: Beyond Light is a beautiful addition to an already gorgeous looking game. Despite releasing in 2017, Destiny 2 remains a beauty thanks to its strong artistic vision. Europa is an enchanting world to run through with its snow effects, glossy white lab interiors, and towering buildings. The game runs well, but the current-gen consoles’ limitations still hold it back, and load times remain annoyingly long. Hopefully the release of the native next-gen versions on December 8 will truly unlock Destiny 2’s potential on consoles.
With Tuesday finally arriving, the Destiny 2 weekly reset is here, bringing with it the usual refreshed content, activities, and rewards for players to chase over the next week. For a complete look at all the new content available for the week of May 20, including Nightfalls, Crucible modes, and challenges, here is everything players need to k
