When Beyond Light dropped as last year’s annual expansion, it didn’t come with too many impressive weapons, leaving most players in search of a more unique standout. The Lament is certainly the except
Quickdraw and Snapshot Sights is a perennial favorite combination of dedicated Crucible snipers, but you can also go for Firmly Planted in the first column or Moving Target in the second. In PvE content, Triple Tap is a must, but the second column lacks High Impact Reserves or Vorpal to make 1000 Yard Stare into a real boss kil
While trace rifles are somewhat of a gimmick weapon among the sandbox, the first stasis version to drop with “Season of the Lost” opens up all kinds of possibilities. It’s already great for freezing and killing major groups of ads, so when paired with a stasis subclass, it’s borderline bro
I want to get all of my friends into Destiny. It’s an exceptional shooter when it’s firing on all cylinders. But as long as the true Destiny experience is locked behind such a horrible new player experience and multiple paywalls, I’ll be farming for that sweet new gun on my lonesome.
The reality is that Destiny 2’s free-to-play experience is a demo, not a free game. You get to experience a short quest in the Cosmodrome, play Destiny 2’s ritual activities that are in dire need of better reward incentives, and try out the Prophecy dungeon. That’s it. The worst part is this wasn’t always the case. When Shadowkeep first came out, free-to-play Guardians had access to three raids and single-player narrative campaigns atop of what’s currently available. Shadowkeep’s version of New Light was a small slice of the core Destiny 2 updates 2 experience. Beyond Light’s version is a platform to sell DLC and nothing else.
Destiny needs to overhaul its New Light offerings to be more generous and better guide Guardians through this confusing video game. More importantly, Bungie needs to overhaul its DLC model to be clearer and more consumer-friendly. Seasons are too cheap for what they offer, but you can’t recoup costs by selling $20 expansion packs, Eververse skins priced higher than entire seasons, and $100 Digital Deluxe versions that let people bypass your overly convoluted DLC model.
Bungie might not call it the Battle Rifle, but this custom-frame Pulse Rifle is definitely Bungie’s ode to Halo . Its increased stability, accuracy, and hip-fire targeting scream Halo, while Blunt Execution Rounds is basically the melee fire trick from Halo 2 (which was colloquially called “BXR,” hence the name of the g
I have seen countless players excitedly reach that 1330 pinnacle cap only to immediately fall off and disappear until the next season or expansion, unable to do the Grandmaster Nightfall and unwilling to grind for it. I would love to attempt the game’s hardest challenge – which also rewards the best gear – with my clanmates, but it’s difficult to encourage them to keep playing when all there is to do is run around on the Moon doing bounties for weeks until you’re Grandmaster ready. It’s unfair to expect players to grind that much just for access to something they’ve otherwise earned by playing the season and reaching the pinnacle cap, so a lot of people just don’t do it. Dedicated players shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to participate in the highest level content just because they aren’t willing to exclusively play Destiny, especially when the game has nothing left to offer beyond Moon bounties.
I wouldn’t want to take anything away from the most hardcore Destiny 2 players that actually do spend all day every day in the game. They still deserve to be rewarded for their dedication, but those rewards already exist outside of Grandmaster Nightfalls. They have Triumphs to pursue, Master Raids, Trials of Osiris, and titles to earn. Grandmaster Nightfalls should be the hardest content to do, but they shouldn’t be gatekept behind a monotonous grind.
The first 100 levels are easy enough if you’re playing consistently. Every season has a list of xp-granting challenges that unlock each week. If you log in every week, do your pinnacle activities, and complete the available challenges, then finishing the battle pass and getting to 1340 isn’t a big deal. The issue becomes apparent once your challenges are complete and you have no more easy sources of experience. At that point, getting Grandmaster Nightfall ready is just a matter of grinding for experience anyway you can.
