New expansion means new story, new story means new area and new area means new NPCs to give out fun stuff. Upon the initial Prison Break and Cayde’s death, Guardians will immediately make their way to The Tangled Shore in tracking down the escapees. The leader of this tangled web is a wonderful Fallen NPC named Spider. Spider helps in getting the ball rolling in tracking down the big-bads and seeking vengeance upon Uldren. He also is extremely helpful in getting one’s Light Level up the easy way. Sure, he sells the resources needed to now infuse gear into other gear, but honestly that will cost some serious glimmer. If not wanting to farm glimmer while wasting time, instead start chipping away at those bounties he has available. This is an easy first step in getting solid legendary gear that won’t break the bank or ones will. This will see Guardians returning to areas familiar such as the EDZ while heading into Lost Sectors to hunt those who’ve broken out of Prison. These are not the main Wardens in the main quest but regular high-level enemies that upon killing will complete a bounty for good gear. The Bounties stick around for a week making it a solid initial jumping off point.
This boss is an abstract foe, as it is a purple orb with an alien-tech cell wall. However, gamers should be wary of the difficulty of this strike that takes place on the Titan Arc Thundercrash. Additionally, the hordes of enemies and the hungering ogres during this escapade add to a gamer’s strugg
Technically, Bungie didn’t lie about this. Players all got their packages and their armor was available in all of its resplendent glory, but what they didn’t know was how awful the stats on every piece of armor would be. On average, Solstice armor stats sat anywhere from 20-30% weaker than high-tier armor, thus rendering it completely useless for endgame content. Like clockwork, the community was appalled at this decision. Many had spent a great deal of time, effort, and even money to acquire the exact looks they wanted from Solstice. To have that made so useless so quickly was a huge blow to mor
Into the Light is the free update that was released in April 2024 for Destiny 2 , to help bridge the delay gap between the final season of Lightfall and The Final Shape. It introduces Onslaught, a new horde mode PVE activity, as well as a whole host of revamped, returning favorite weapons for players in the form of the BRAVE arse
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.
Crucible remains mostly intact outside of quality-of-life improvements. Bringing the player count back up to 6v6 was the right move and the lower time-to-kill vastly improves the experience. The significant multiplayer addition in Forsaken lies with Gambit, a new mode that blends PvE and PvP elements. The 4v4 mode tasks players with killing AI-controlled enemies and collecting and banking motes of light. After accumulating 75 motes, a Primeval enemy appears and the first team to defeat their Primeval wins. Of course, it’s not that simple thanks to the PvP elements. Players can spend motes to summon Blockers on the enemy’s map. Collect enough motes and a player can invade the enemy’s map for a short period.
Though short at 5-6 hours, the campaign provides enough thrills and excitement thanks to the great barons. Each of the eight barons offers a unique boss fight that keeps players on their toes. The Rider forces you to fight from aboard a Pike, the Trickster rigs ammo to explode and the Rifleman summons decoys to trip you up. Not all were created equal, like the Machinist whose single identifiable trait is firing a few missiles. Then, there are some like the Fanatic who make up for lack of personality by throwing hordes of enemies at you. Still, the boss design is a huge step up from previous Destiny experiences.
