Making Destiny 2 free-to-play was undeniably a great choice that brought in a massive boost of fans, but it's always interesting to consider that some originally bought it. At least they rolled the first two DLC packs into New Light

Destiny 2 is a game that has gone through a lot of changes since its initial release back in 2017. The Destiny series has become a home for many players over the years, a place where people have made lasting friendships across platforms and fallen in love with its memorable characters (the dastardly Hive for instance) and gameplay. The sci-fi shooter remains tremendously popu

After the first Beacon is aligned in Destiny 2 , leave the church and back towards the first area where Taken were gathered. They'll likely be gathered there again and have to be defeated once more. Invoke the Barrier Breach with the celestial beacon just outside of the doorway leading to the catacombs. Head down the hole and follow the pathway to the left. Turn down the hallway, then take the first right turn and follow the path. The chest is at the end, and opening it will award the Entombed Triu

Location: The Outer Islands (Reached from beacon #1)

Make your way to the first beacon. Facing the Warship, turn left and walk down the platform. They'll be a True Sight marker. Activate it, then proceed to the island floating in the distance. Wrap around to the other side of the island to find a Breach Barrier marker. Interact with the marker to breach the Awoken barrier along the island's wall. Inside will be an Enigmatic Ch

Being such a central part of the lore now and a fan-favorite character, Gambit actually represented one of the first gameplay instances of Guardians using the darkness as a power. This concept evolved massively in Beyond Light, with the addition of the formidable Stasis subcl

While multiplayer emotes can be clunky they are staples in many players' loadouts. Those initiating extend a friendly hand while those accepting are mostly curious what new, rare, or hilarious emote being offered. Multiplayer emotes function like quick co-op moments for the social aspect of Destiny, one free from anxiety or awkward chit chat. The legendary Slow Jam emote doesn't reference anything specific unless awkward Junior prom moments are univer

Weapons are at the core of Destiny, being one of the biggest factors in the way players customize their build. This has always been the case, of course. But even aside from the updated mods and rolls system, Destiny 2 originally had a very different way of classing your weapons' sl

Lastly, Failsafe is the semi-malfunctioning AI on Nessus who leads many Strikes and Battlegrounds missions on the planet. Like Devrim Kay, she offers a few bounties with sunset weapons as rewards. Although the armor is usable, it's only worth getting for the Transmog system. Additionally, her dialogue has not been updated, so interacting with her will have dialogue from the time before the Forsaken expans

Beyond an expansive armor roster no longer hindered by sunsetting and countless palette swaps, the Guardian's personality also extends to Destiny 2 Edge of Fate's impressive array of emotes. Why settle for simple "hello's" with so many ice-breakers at your disposal? Make a lasting friendship, spur some rage or just some entertaining time-wasting with the best emotes Destiny 2 has to of

Before all of that, power levels and character levels grew in tandem. This made it harder for characters to reach those higher power levels, which in turn made it harder to engage in activities like Iron Banner where power advantages were enabled. Needless to say, it's a shift made to help the bala

If you haven't played Destiny 2 recently, this might come as a complete surprise. Bungie did a fundamental overhaul to Trials of Osiris in Season of the Lost, restructuring its reward and matchmaking systems. The end result is a much healthier playlist that showers players in l

The cross save feature of Destiny 2 is well-known now, allowing players to seamlessly carry their progress across all the various platforms easily. Cross Save is also the foundation that finally allowed Destiny 2 to get cross play in Season 15. However, cross save itself wasn't added until the run-up to the Shadowkeep expans

All of these issues make for a gamemode that promotes snowballing and has a slower reward track than Vanguard activities or PvP. Gambit tries to make up for this with a great weapon pool, yet that's undermined by how long Gambit matches are. And even if you do get the weapon you want, each weapon has 12 potential perks in each of the final two perk columns. Good luck getting the roll you w

Originally, however, players could participate in Faction Rallies and support their favored one, with the winning faction giving out a unique reward. After a time though, Bungie axed the Rallies, stating on the official blog that the associated equipment wasn't very popular and the mechanic didn't drive much interest in the g
