Another map that seems just right in terms of size is Dead Cliffs. There are good corners and lines of sight here for some cheeky snipes that long-range players can set up. The middle pillar where heavy ammo spawns traditionally is a nice pressure point where teams will usually trade fire, as well as the actual cliffside ar
Located on the Moon, the Anomaly is best for 3v3 encounters. It has a mid-area with tight corners, but also a circular view of the space and the openings all around the actual Anomaly itself. Here, both sniping and shotgunning work, as odd as that may so
Forsaken’s plot is a refreshing break from the consistent ‘save the world’ plots of Destiny games, and expansions tend to throw at us. The tale is more personal and adds additional depth to the generic light vs. dark struggle that has permeated the series to this point. Forsaken represents a leap forward for storytelling in Destiny, surpassing the benchmark set by The Taken King .
Follow the Toland light orb around the room. Cleansing Light or Dark plates and then standing in the middle of the room will flip it. Find the orb and then cleanse the plate underneath it to make progress. While doing this, avoid and kill Hobgoblins and Knight Echos. A Knight Echo will spawn whenever a Hobgoblin is killed. Light up the six sides of the cube in the middle of the arena, and find a small crack in the wall to go back to the Wastel
Igneous Hammer is a Legendary Energy Hand Cannon deserving of its status. Its Aggressive Frame immediately gives it high recoil and high damage, making it a worthy companion when it comes to long-range engagements. This weapon is one of the best Hand Cannons for PvP, and the best choice for those looking for an Energy Hand Can
Collect Light and Dark Motes to charge your weapon. Each Knight Echo will drop three motes. Five motes of the same type will charge them, and they depend on where you’re standing when you kill the Echo. These motes will only last for 30 seconds after collection until there is a full charge. Use the charge on the matching pillars by pressing the triggers on top of them. When you’re done, climb up into a small ar
Endless Vale, another Vex-themed map, is bordering on being a bit too small for 6V6. Those who might not enjoy the chaos of it might find it too claustrophobic, and prefer it in 3V3 where the classic middle peek at the beginning of the round is bound to get someone sni
To activate the Prophecy Dungeon, open the Director, and go to the Tower . Go to the west side near the bazaar. Select the Prophecy Dungeon node, and click launch. You will land in the first location where you will learn about Light and Dark Motes and start heading to the first b
The Crucible in Destiny 2 is a place that is both hated and loved, depending on who’s asked. The ruling meta and the maps in the rotation pool are two of the main aspects that define whether or not players will keep on queuing into the Crucible. Sadly, for a while, PVP received no new maps, until Into the Light’s release. Cirrus Plaza, Eventide Labs, and Dissonance are the three new maps players can hop into right now. And while maps have always looked amazing in Destiny 2 , the real question is whether or not gameplay on them is actually worthwh
Microtransactions were a considerable problem in Destiny 2 with end-game items like Sparrows, ships and shaders tied to the game’s version of Loot Boxes. While not as invasive in Destiny 2: Forsaken, it still feels like large amounts of items are held hostage behind the system. Ships, Sparrows, weapon ornaments and shaders are found in the wild, but many remain tied to Eververse. Considering Destiny 2’s costs add upwards of $140 at this point, it’s annoying that the microtransactions remain (the abysmal Curse of Osiris and Warmind DLCs are required to play Forsaken).
Become familiar with how weapons work now. Bungie made it a big deal that the weapon system would be changing drastically and it has. While the initial roll of out of these changes was a few weeks ago with update 2.0, Guardians are seeing the full force of these changes now that Forsaken has dropped. Weapons have returned to how things were in Destiny (1) with completely random rolls while certain weapons now find themselves in entirely new slots. The same weapon can drop five times and each time will come with different stats and Prismatic builds abilities. This makes for some fun mixing/matching. To make things even easier, if a certain perk works well for one’s play style, putting that perk on the new gun only requires the dismantling of whatever version of the weapon not wanted but getting to keep the perks in modification form that are wanted. Then it’s simple as slapping it on the weapon kept. Forsaken is all about being user friendly and wants Guardians to make the most of their toys. Now that certain weapons find themselves in new slots such as Snipers or Shotguns being in all three slots of Primary, Secondary and Heavy, mixing and matching is highly encouraged. Play around with different load-outs because the possibilities have become greater. I found myself with a Shotgun in my Primary, a Sniper in my Secondary and my trusty Rocket Launcher in my Heavy. It was a blast and while I’ve switched it out since then it was fun playing around seeing how these new combinations favor each other. Pro-tip: Bows. That is all.
