Despite some story elements being vaulted with the release of The Witch Queen, Bungie has made it apparent that the story that started in Beyond Light is the heart of the narrative focus. This has been made even more evident with the story elements and locations featured within The Witch Queen expansion, bringing places like Mars back into explorable areas for players. With numerous solar bodies already possible to explore within our Solar System, it’s hard not to imagine what new locations Lightfall will bring to the game....

At 8 a.m. December 5, Update 1.1.0 will be available for players to download, bringing the first set of many changes to Destiny 2 that Bungie detailed in their “The State of Destiny 2” blog post.

During a TwitchCon panel about the seasons of Destiny 2, Bungie’s Ryan Paradis said that many fans asked why they couldn’t have snowball fights in the Tower back when the event was active in Destiny 1. Paradis says that now players will be able to have snowball fights in the game’s social spaces, which look to be about the size of the orb relics located throughout the game. He also said players will be able to play ice hockey in the Tower....

In the meantime, Xur has returned to the world of Destiny 2 with a fully refreshed stock of exotic gear. Without any new Forsaken exotic items the past couple of weeks, most fans are hoping to see something unique this weekend. Here’s where Destiny 2 players can find Xur, details on the latest Invitation of the Nine quest, as well as what exotic items are on offer for the weekend of April 26, 2019....

Bungie also released a lengthy blog post looking at the overhauled Void subclasses for Hunter, Titan, and Warlocks. Dubbed Void 3.0, the sunclass is adopting the Fragments and Aspects style introduced in Beyond Light for Stasis. Players will now have more customization and control over their builds, able to apply the aspects and fragments which best suit their playstyle. In addition, Bungie has tweaked and updated the majority of the super abilities, providing a bit more versatility....

With Bungie promising Destiny 2 players who do and don’t own the annual pass new activities, many were likely interested in the recent Q&A with game director Steve Cotton and project lead Scott Taylor. When asked if there would be any new locations for players to explore, they answered to the affirmative but clarified that they were not referring to new planets. In fact, Taylor said, “We’re going to have new places to check out....

While the Ward of Dawn ability (within the Sentinel subclass) received several buffs and reworks since launch, it never truly found a good spot in-game. However, with the massive Shadowkeep expansion, several subclasses are receiving some fine-tuning - including Ward of Dawn. Weapons of Light, a major damage buff given to those who passed through Ward of Dawn, is coming back so Titans can really lean back into the support role they used to have....

For Striker Titans in Destiny 2, the “smash” ability has been turned into a roaming super, where the player can unleash multiple Fist of Havocs while the ability is active. They can also shoulder charge players while Fist of Havoc is active, which is similar in animation to the Sunbreaker’s Suncharge. Essentially, instead of a Super whose main use is shutting down other roaming supers, the Fist of Havoc now has versatility as well....

However, the free webcomic isn’t just an excuse to read up on Destiny 2 lore. Developer Bungie has also included a secret for particularly eagle-eyed readers. Destiny 2 fans have spotted a secret code on one of the comic’s pages. Right above the ‘Prophecies of Osiris’ sign (pictured below), there appears to be a sequence of dashes of dots. It’s Morse code and when translated, it allows fans to unlock a piece of in-game loot for Destiny 2....

Rewards for the Event Players should log in once the servers are back up to start up the Crimson Days events, as well as grab their free Destiny 2 Twitch Prime Loot for the month if they haven’t. Players should visit Tess Everis in the Tower to get their first Engram for the event; it gives a free cosmetic just for logging in and chatting with Tess.

While ArkConsular had no idea how right they were, their prediction was spot on. The prediction was based around several different clues scattered between Destiny and Destiny 2. Cayde-6’s death makes sense, according to ArkConsular, because Bungie hinted several times during the Forsaken ViDoc that the story was about revenge, and it would be taking a darker tone. Cayde-6 is a popular character with many fans, so his death would spark a newfound hatred for Uldren Sov, Prince of the Reef....

The Destiny 2: Lightfall expansion brings Guardians to Neomuna, a Human city developed in secret on Neptune with knowledge of the Collapse. Destiny 2 players will have access to a new Darkness subclass called Strand, which weaves and connects psychic energy from all things in the universe. The Witness sends his forces to Neptune in what may herald a second Collapse, but the Vanguard and its allies are determined to stop the threat before all is doomed....

Bungie said today that the developer intentionally set the Iron Banner playlists to include only the new maps introduced in Destiny 2’s Shadowkeep expansion in order to showcase them. However, all that changes on Thursday, October 17th when more maps will be added to Iron Banner. RELATED: Destiny 2: How to Complete the Iron Banner Quest in Season 8 While Bungie did not specify exactly how many maps would be rotating into the Iron Banner playlist, it will likely be similar to events in the past....

A Guardian’s Power level is directly tied to how much damage they can do and the content they can take part in. The past few seasons have given Guardians a Power level increase of 50 points, forcing Guardians to grind to reach max Power level before starting any endgame content.

The calendar starts with Destiny 2 Shadowkeep’s launch, detailing all of the free content included in the expansion. This free content is available to all players, including Destiny 2 New Light free-to-play players. The content includes the new Moon destination and feature additions including the Seasonal Artifact, Finishers, and Armor 2.0. The free seasonal updates will also include Crucible competitive multiplayer updates, as well as the free reward track included in the Seasonal Rank battle pass system....

Over the past two years, the community has built up a sizable list of unconventional ways to tackle Destiny 2’s raids. Some of them even put the ways that raid bosses in the original Destiny were taken down to shame, thanks in part to some of the major changes that came with the Shadowkeep expansion.

Bungie has spoiled us with a massive amount of new content coming to Destiny 2. The most surprising of all these announcements, however, is a final DLC for the game after Lightfall. This new DLC, titled The Final Shape, is to be the final release for Destiny 2’s current stoyrline, culminating over seven years’ worth of story-telling in one final crescendo before departing from the Light and Darkness Saga....

Destiny 2 expansions usually aren’t announced until the marketing material is ready, so, Bungie revealing two other expansions alongside Beyond Light proves its commitment to Destiny 2. And Savathun taking the spotlight in 2021 is sure to bring a smile to veteran players’ faces. The Witch Queen has been mentioned repeatedly in Destiny 2 and even has multiple strikes revolving around her schemes.

For those who haven’t played Destiny 2: Forsaken, the Dreaming City storyline focused on the Awoken and their dealings with Ahamkara (aka wish-dragons). The Last Wish raid further built on the idea of granting wishes by allowing players to input a code at the beginning of the raid to unlock special boons.
