This might be the cheesiest tip in here, but have fun. Bungie has made it a point to make Forsaken a long, drawn out affair and wants players to enjoy Forsaken not blindly rush through it and feel like nothing was gained. There is so much to do and see with Forsaken that anyone who is breezing through it in a day saying that they saw nothing probably hasn’t seen it all. Yes, the main story can be had in a day, but that’s not the hobby part of Forsaken that Bungie was pushing that was just the initial leap. Forsaken is a deep pool with so many secrets, loot and other things to be had it’s impossible to see it all within the week. Bungie has wised up to how players tackled Destiny and they want Guardians to get the most out of their play time. Whether playing intensely for hours on end day to day or logging in for just a few hours to an hour, there’s always something to do; a quest to be chased, a new piece of gear to be had or a mystery to be solved. There is no shortage of what’s in Forsaken and having only spent less than a day in it, it’s clear that the Forsaken is only showing the tip of the iceberg.
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 God roll armor guide 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 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.
Making Halo Infinite a platform for future content instead of just the “next Halo game” is a major leap into the future for the franchise. It’s promising that players who buy into Halo Infinite on Xbox One can look forward not only just to instant access to the next-gen version of the game through Smart Delivery , but potentially years of continuous content that builds on itself in meaningful ways. Not every move that 343 makes with their platform is going to be a winner, but it’s exciting to think about how the Halo universe will evolve throughout the life of **Halo Infinite
There’s no justification for this other than Bungie thinking they can get away with it and they most certainly will. When Forsaken launches in September, Destiny fans will have been waiting for about a year for the game to finally become what it should have been in the first place. If Forsaken turns out to be as good as it looks, then Bungie deserves to be rewarded for it. There’s no excuse for all the scumminess surrounding it, though, especially when there are similar games like Monster Hunter World, Warframe and Rainbow Six: Siege that are all enjoying massive success without dipping into any exploitative business practices.
The current Year 3 of Destiny 2 content has shown something very specific about player behavior: players love repeating content that is both challenging and rewarding. The current Season of Arrivals has done an excellent job of providing this through multiple avenues. Within hours of the release of the new season, a surprise dungeon activity, Prophecy , was activated for all players to enjoy. Prophecy is a very high-level mission balanced for three Guardians, but can be done solo with the right skill. What makes Prophecy so unique is that every encounter provides loot no matter how many times players run the dungeon in a given week. Historically, players have only been rewarded for their first clear of the mission once per week per character. Now players can farm endgame content for the best rolls on some of the best loot in the g
The best lesson that this strike has to offer is to be prepared and to be prepared quickly because enemies will feel endless in The Hollowed Lair strike . Players will be unable to catch their breath as they try to coordinate between various different attacks coming at them from all directions. It might take a time or two for players to get used to the energy exerted in this strike but once players find their footing, beyond the pace and amount of enemies present, this is one of the easier strikes they will f
