The exploit of getting tons of Enhancement Cores was not a new one. All players had to do after Update 2.2.1 was to go to a vendor who has a pinnacle weapon that they have unlocked and claim the weapon multiple times. Dismantling a pinnacle weapon yields seven Enhancement Cores, so players were able to quickly fill up their spare inventory with nine copies of the same pinnacle weapon and then dismantle them within seconds to get 63 Enhancement Cores....

Unlike last week, Destiny 2 won’t have any hotfixes. Instead, it will be the usual downtime starting at 5:45 AM (1345 UTC) until 8:00 AM (1600 UTC). Players will be automatically logged out from any ongoing activity between these periods. Destiny 2 server maintenance for weekly reset (January 18-25) With the upcoming weekly reset in Season of the Lost, players will get the Corrupted strike in the Nightfall pool, double Nightfall rewards upon completion, and Crucible Mayhem....

Bungie has been keeping fans updated through its social media accounts. It stated that it believes it has figured out why this bug happened, and it is actively working on a fix. The BungieHelp Twitter account has promised that it will provide an update to Destiny 2 players by 1pm Pacific time. However, that doesn’t mean that the fix will be released at that point, so fans shouldn’t count on the Destiny 2 servers going back up by then....

Five of the nine wallpaper screenshots that Bungie released are from the upcoming Shadowkeep expansion, teasing the Shadowkeep fortress itself and its surrounding Moon environments. Each image is rich in detail, offering just a glimpse at the areas Destiny 2 players will be able to explore starting September 17. None of the images feature any spoilers beyond the Shadowkeep itself, which has already been shown in advertising. The Moon itself is a familiar location for Guardians who have been playing since the original Destiny....

While Bungie has constantly tweaked the crafting mechanics over the past few months, including removing Destiny 2’s weapon specific crafting materials entirely, fans have continued to offer feedback on the system. Recently, Bungie community manager Dylan Gafner provided fans an update on feedback the team had been collecting on Deepsight weapons and crafting in general, giving fans hope that further changes were soon to be coming down the road....

As seen below in Destiny 2’s launch trailer for Warmind, the journey of the game’s Guardians continues with the addition of a brand new story that features Ana Bray, a legendary Hunter who is searching for a connection to her past on the polar ice caps of Mars. Golden Age warsats start slamming into and thawing the ice, which reveals the core of the Warmind Rasputin and an ancient Hive army attempting to destroy it....

News of the “cancellations” comes by way of the ‘This Week at Bungie’ post, in which Community Manager DeeJ outlined the developer’s response. We knew that Bungie was going to do something about the glitch, and some speculated a Trials of Osiris cancellation was the likeliest scenario, and today it was made official. Much like with the infinite Shadowshot glitch, an exploit like this has completely changed the complexion of Destiny’s PvP experiences....

While many would attest that defeating Crota is hard enough by typical Destiny standards, not only did GladHeAteHer182 lack his natural playing abilities by not having a controller, but he also had to deal with a 1 to 1.5 second delay in between commands occurring on-screen, with the additional problem of not knowing each phrase by heart. Bearing that in mind, it’s arguable that his successful attempt is more awe-inspiring than a classic speed run....

Luckily, with the latest Destiny raid, King’s Fall, developer Bungie offered a little bit of both. The raid was the longest endgame encounter seen thus far, and it featured numerous showdowns with smaller sub-bosses. However, it was also very mechanics heavy, meaning that no matter a player’s light level, if they didn’t know the fight their team was unlikely to succeed. Vault of Glass and Crota’s End, on the other hand, were focused on surviving an onslaught of enemies and doing as much damage as possible....

After receiving plenty of feedback this week, Lucid Games assured players it was working on a fix to the voice chat issues. In a tweet, Lucid Games noted that a hotfix is now available which will make it so that multiplayer voice chat is turned off by default for all players. The developer also reassured fans that it is actively working on enhancements to the voice communication system, which, at the game’s launch, had no way to easily turn off in online multiplayer modes....

One of the biggest improvements to Arc Hunters was the addition of Gathering Storm, a new Super that allows Arcstriders to launch their javelin into the ground and create an electrified area where enemies take constant damage. Destiny 2’s 3.0 subclasses also get access to a plethora of Fragments and three Aspects per-class, which was also a good way to create more diversity in the Arc kit for all players....

With every new Season in Destiny 2, Bungie typically adds at least one brand-new Exotic for every class and at least one new Exotic weapon included in the Season Pass, but typically it’s two weapons per Season with the additional one coming from Dungeons or Raids. As of Season of the Haunted, every class has a total of 36 Exotics to choose from in terms of armor pieces, and then there are a total of 94 Exotic weapons, but not all of them are nearly as useful as one would think....

For example, Hunters were considered exceptionally powerful when Destiny 2 launched, and that was mainly due to lack of options for all classes as well as the extreme utility that Void tether brought to the endgame when combined with Exotic Orpheus Rig boots. Things have changed, however, and now Hunters are the weakest class when it comes to PvE content. There are several reasons why; some are longstanding problems tied to the seasonal model that Bungie adopted for Destiny 2, whereas others have been introduced with the sandbox update released last Tuesday alongside the 30th Anniversary Pack....

A lot is changing in Destiny 2’s sandbox with Season 18, and Bungie is being faithful to its promise of making more Exotics have intrinsic anti-Champion abilities over time - something that made Arbalest one of the best guns in the game after it received Anti-Barrier rounds. Much like Arbalest, Wishender is getting Anti-Barrier arrows in Season 18, alongside a slew of other PvE buffs that will make it a more competitive option....

In Neomuna, players will learn how to use the powers of Strand, an entirely new Darkness subclass that is all about movement. Strand has interesting connections with Death Stranding in how players use traversal abilities over combat abilities to achieve their goal, and that’s something Destiny 2 players don’t see often with the way subclasses are currently built. Still, Strand is a compelling addition to the game when it comes to exploration and freedom of movement, especially seeing how Bungie confirmed that the new grappling hook ability works everywhere and at any time, but that is not enough for this element to be effective in Destiny 2....

This doesn’t leave players with a lot of time before Savathun arrives at their doorstep. However, it is a huge step for Bungie towards a new era of Light vs. Dark, so a long maintenance period could be crucial in providing a smooth first hour of launch. Listed below is the expected downtime in major regions, both for maintenance and the update. Server downtime expected in major regions before Destiny 2 The Witch Queen update (February 22) Apart from the huge Witch Queen update, players will be getting a brand new season called Season of the Risen....

Original story follows. Every Tuesday, Destiny 2 fans know to expect the Weekly Reset. This is when Bungie updates the popular looter-shooter/MMORPG with some fresh content and challenges, which helps keep things interesting throughout each season in the game. Fans know to expect some Destiny 2 downtime during the Weekly Reset, but this week’s downtime has been going on longer than usual, with players completely unable to access the game’s servers....

Now, a streamer on Twitch who goes by the name Tonuu has recently found a trick that allows the raid from Destiny 2’s Forsaken expansion, The Last Wish, to be more easily taken on. As a result, the player was able to easily access the end of the raid, and with one other player, skip straight to The Last Wish’s final boss, Riven for a flawless run.

The Witch Queen is the newest major expansion to Destiny 2 and will see guardians finally face off with the Hive god of cunning Savathun in a battle roughly seven years in the making. Guardians will be tasked with entering the Hive queen’s Throne World to discover how this being of Darkness stole the Light and is now wielding the Traveler’s gift. Standing between guardians and Savathun will be the Hive guardians of the Lucent Brood, which have also been imbued with the Light....
