Bungie brought back various exotic missions for players to run through to earn new rewards, gear, as well as craftable versions of exotic weapons. Like the Raid and Dungeon rotator, this one changes on a weekly ba

Protective Light - This mod will use all of that light the players are charging by turning it into a buff that increases their damage resistance. The idea here is that if both the Icefall Mantle and the normal shield fail, then this will trigger and give the player time to get a

Regardless of how powerful a singular weapon or subclass might be, numbers almost always beat out a single guardian pushing multiple people. To help your fireteam out in PvP, be sure to utilize the radar on your HUD, as well as equipping weapons that lengthen the amount of time the radar stays active, in order to push enemy guardians with another teammate to supp

To prevent the teleportation and extend the DPS (damage per second) phase, one Guardian Rank challenges needs to stand where the Templar will teleport to. This location is indicated by a ring, similar to the ring at the very beginning of the Vault of Glass. There is a catch, however, because preventing the Templar from teleporting will spawn in Minotaurs. Allowing the Templar to teleport results in a large horde of weaker enemies spawning. Preventing the Templar from teleporting can be done at any time, so it's up to the team to decide how they want to defeat this b

Finally, a message will appear saying "Guardians Make Their Own Fate" during the DPS check against Atheon. This grants all teammates with Time's Vengeance, giving high Super regeneration to all Guardians. Once Time's Vengeance is up the DPS phase is over. The whole process repeats until Atheon is finally defea

Heading into its fourth year, Bungie opted to release a direct sequel to Destiny rather than another expansion to deliver new content and improve on systems and mechanics in the original game . While Destiny 2 had its issues, many of the new mechanics were welcome improvements that likely couldn't have been added via additional expansions. For Year 4 of Destiny 2 , however, Bungie opted to take a different approach. Rather than releasing a Destiny 3, Bungie expands on Destiny 2 with another expansion, Beyond Light. Promising Darkness-themed powers, a new mysterious world to explore and a new Raid, does Destiny 2: Beyond Light keep the experience fresh, or is Destiny 2 just treading water at this point?

For now, though, the Rite of the Nine activity continues forward with its revised schedule and enhanced reward system. Bungie stepped into a bit of controversy with the Destiny 2 Rite of the Nine event after players accused the studio of timegating content when it was discovered that each dungeon was on a three week cycle. However, the studio quickly pivoted and announced changes to the overall schedule and made loot more plenti

One teammate should be designated as the Relic holder. That player can use the Relic to attack enemies, jump and aim down sight to slam the Relic down, block to create a shield around the user and allies, and the user's Super is replaced with a projectile that shoots from the Relic its

Some of the best aspects of Gambit come from the team play: having a fireteam communicate effectively and eliminate enemies that spawn while collecting motes quickly can turn the tides in your favor. One of the least effective strategies, however, is hoarding motes after you and your fireteam shred countless enemies. The greatest risk is having an invader from the opposing team spawn on your side of the map and eliminate you before you can make that crucial depo

Map knowledge in any first-person shooter is really the make or break for you and your team going into a given match. However, if the only time you ever learn about the map is when your fireteam is matchmaking publicly, you'll more than likely find yourself on the losing end of games. Destiny 2 isn't the only game to emphasize the importance of location in PvP modes. Take advantage of private and custom match lobbies where you can really strategize and learn the layout of the land before hopping into a live ma

Players can agree that sometimes the exotic weapon that took the longest to get is a must-have for any match type. The problem with that strategy, however, is the usability of that same exotic weapon in a given situat

Strategies in Gambit and Gambit Prime can't be stressed enough because of the reliance on teamwork and communication needed to win rounds. One of the more crucial strategies that can be utilized more often is team shooting enemies that spawn in their respective zones on the map. Those same Cabal or Taken that spawn much healthier than others will need multiple pairs of eyes on them to take them down quickly and efficiently. Playing through Destiny 2's different seasons can help you break out of habits that don't incorporate teammates, or even just taking a break with a different multiplayer game to help flex those ner
