Destiny 2 Raid Boss Beat Without Using Damage Mechanic

It was accomplished by Indica, who has also overcome numerous feats in Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. The full run of the “No Plate Calus Kill” can be seen below: The trick is activated during the skulls phase in the spirit realm. Just before the skulls start spawning, one of the players in the throne room kills himself on purpose. Doing so manipulates the number of skulls spawning in the spirit realm so that the players shooting skulls are able to rack up the Force of Will buff....

Destiny 2 Revelry Spring Event Revealed New Armor Weapon Activity

The big addition is the Verdant Forest, which has similarities to the Haunted Forest from the Festival of the Lost, but with a Spring-focused twist. This isn’t simply a graphic change, however, and the objective is to clear as many rooms as possible. It will feature five different bosses for Destiny 2 players to tackle. The Spring Revelry event is also changing up the ways Guardians wield the light. It is introducing a new item known as the Reveler’s Tonic, received from Eva Levante when first visiting the Tower....

Destiny 2 S Last Wish Raid Won T Feature Prestige Mode

Currently, Last Wish is a 550 recommended Power activity, but unlike previous raids, Last Wish scales much higher throughout the raid. Usually, raids tend to stay around the recommended power level or a little above it while the final boss is much higher. However, Last Wish continually scales throughout the raid, ending with a 580 boss fight against Riven. Each encounter ramps up the Power Level difficulty unlike any other raid experience, which may be why there is no Prestige Mode coming....

Destiny 2 S Overload Champions Are Arguably The Game S Worst Feature

Among the three types of Champions in Destiny 2, Overload Champions are often considered the worst - if not one of the worst features in the game as a whole. The reasons for this is multifaceted: Overloads are often bugged, they regenerate health constantly even when stunned, they can teleport around or inflict insane damage, they are the hardest to disrupt reliably, and they have the worst anti-Champion mods all around....

Destiny 2 S Trials Of Osiris Is Having A Really Bad Week

Trials of Osiris went live this weekend and with it came “new” rewards to collect and a “new” map to learn. However, this wasn’t exactly a new map and the rewards were not exactly new. Trials Map Rotation is Disappointing In Destiny 1, Trials of Osiris was on a rotation that cycled through the same handful of maps that Bungie felt suited the mode. There were rare weeks where all of the maps cycled, but mainly it was a familiar pattern....

Destiny 2 Shadowkeep Cinematic Trailer Is 2 Years Old

The original version of this cinematic leaked back before Destiny 2 was even announced. Back then, months before the reveal of the sequel, many thought that this cinematic was likely something made for the upcoming Destiny 2 or possibly originally made in connection with a canceled Vex-themed expansion for Destiny 1. The cinematic was originally found as part of a demo reel for Prologue Films, a California-based company that created a number of cutscenes for Destiny 1 including intro cinematics for the original Destiny campaign, House of Wolves, and The Taken King....

Destiny 2 Story Could Be Setting Up Captain America Civil War Scenario

Lakshmi-2’s actions in Destiny 2 seem to be her way to undermine the alliance with Mithrax’s House of Light in a political way, highlighting how the Vanguard does not care for the people of the city and harbors mankind’s enemies in the Light of the Traveler. This, combined with the fact that she seems to be concocting a coup to attain power from Zavala and Ikora, sets up a scenario similar to that of Captain America: Civil War....

Destiny 2 Will Buff Strike Catalyst Drop Rates

According to a community manager on the Destiny 2 Reddit, Bungie will implement slight adjustments to drop chances for Strike catalysts in update 1.2.3. Additionally, there will be a minor increase to the drop rate of the Skyburner’s Oath Catalyst that is found in the Leviathan Raid. The developer wanted to do something to make catalysts appear more often, but not too often, as that would remove the need for players to continue engaging in Strikes and Raids....

Destiny Nightfall Rewards Still Include Sparrow Racing Horns

In a post on Reddit, fans have begun to discover that Bungie has added SRL horns into the potential rewards pool. These items can continue to be broken down to receive items like the horn relay which is able to turn a rare horn into a legendary horn making it permanent. Rare horns have a limited life span according to Bungie, though at this time, many users are reporting that rare horns won through the SRL event are still active....

Destiny Patch Unintentionally Changes Perks Gamewide

However, whenever a developer issues a patch, there is always the danger that it will unintentionally break or change something else that was working as intended, and Destiny’s HotFix 2.5.0.2 did just that. More specifically, it applied the planned changes to the Bladedancer’s Hungering Blade perk to every Health Regen perk in the game. Hungering Blade was changed in the following ways: Immediately starts Health regen Restores more Health per kill Gives a flat amount of Health/Shield per activation Does not immediately start regenerating Shields...

Destiny Player Solos First Two Parts Of King S Fall Raid

Indeed, Reddit user Esoterickk has managed to solo the first two parts of this amped up Destiny raid,which is extremely impressive given the increased difficulty for Age of Triumph. To show off this feat of beating the entrance and the Tomb Ship jumping puzzle, Esoterickk not only took a video of the run, which can be seen below, but also shared a Destiny Tracker link proving that they were completing it alone....

Destiny Players Killed All 8 Gorgons In Vault Of Glass Raid

The beauty of games like Destiny can be found in the way it brings a group of friends together in search of glory and recognition. The development of a thriving community is difficult, but if done right, studios like Bungie are rewarded with a population like Destiny’s player base, eager to prove their worth among their peers by completing the game’s most difficult tasks. While most of Destiny’s players are busy perfecting their play and gearing up for Destiny: The Taken King, some truly dedicated players are still plumbing the depths of Destiny’s end game for secrets....

Destiny Weekly Reset For May 23 Featured Raid Nightfall And More

For many, however, one of the most surprising elements was a first look at the Homecoming campaign mission which essentially lets players play through the initial invasion led by the Red Legion commander, Dominus Ghaul. With Grimoire Cards no longer apart of the experience, Bungie showed off plenty of slick-looking cut scenes which not only serve to better convey the story, but are implemented to include plenty of lore elements as well, something which many fans felt were missing from the first game....

Destiny 2 Prestige Nightfall Strike Bug Prevents Completion

While we already noted that Trials of the Nine never went away at reset – the mode has since gone offline – there were other issues including the Nightfall Strike having two modifiers instead of one. The Attrition modifier was active as expected, but the Prism modifier from last week carried over as well. Eventually, Prism disappeared, but the Prestige version of the Nightfall Strike was left with a major bug....

Destiny 2 Removes Breakthrough Mode From Competitive Playlist Again

Early Friday, Destiny 2 community manager Cozmo said that the development team was aware of player complaints and was looking into disabling the mode in the Competitive playlist. And not long after Bungie made it official, putting Breakthrough back on hiatus with the likes of Trials of the Nine. Breakthrough returned to Destiny 2 Competitive play with the October 30th update, albeit with some changes. However, most of those changes did not address the key flaw in the mode, which is that the team that claims the Breaker is typically at a disadvantage....

Destiny 2 Replacing Nightfall Strike Timer In February Update

As part of a forthcoming February update for Destiny 2, Bungie will be introducing Strike Scoring to Nightfall Strikes as a replacement for the current time limit mechanic. It’s not entirely clear how scoring will work in the Nightfall Strikes but we’re sure this will be a welcome change for veteran players. What we can glean from Bungie’s post about Strike Scoring is that it will focus on the fireteam completing specific objectives within the Strike....

Destiny 2 Reveals New Void Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher

Although the weapon has been briefly spotted in early Destiny 2: Shadowkeep trailers, this is the first time players are really given a good look at the heavy weapon. Sticking with a Hive-inspired look, the rocket launcher is briefly shown in gameplay as a Titan player leaps into the air and fires a void projectile which splits into a lot of smaller but aggressive tracking explosive projectiles. However, unlike a cluster bomb rocket, this one actually detonates in air and sends aggressive void seeking projectiles towards the target....

Destiny 2 S Animals Featured In Nature Documentary Video

The documentary focuses on the “surprisingly large variety of critters hidden in plain sight” in Destiny 2 according to its video description. Kimber Prime, who focuses on Destiny 2, Overwatch, and Dota 2 content, is clearly looking to emulate the nature documentaries produced by places like the BBC — narration provided by “The Bored Chairman” even sounds like a parody of Sir David Attenborough.
