What works in PvE is not always what is optimal in PvP in Destiny 2 . There is some crossover, but ultimately, the two arenas require their own builds and loadouts. PvP is more about surviving and seizing opportunities by picking off players when it is safe to engage. There are ways to achieve this through more aggressive playstyles, but the core concept rema

Along with the cosmetics (including ships, shaders, and sparrows), The Dawning offers a couple of festive weapons on which Guardians are trying to get their hands. These weapons will only be available as drops until the event ends on January 5, 2021. So, players interested in acquiring these items should invest some time into participating in The Dawning 2020. One of those weapons is the legendary fusion rifle, Glacioclasm, dealing void damage to enem

Glacioclasm is only available as a loot drop during The Dawning seasonal event in Destiny 2 DLC 2. Players will have to bake some tasty treats to deliver to the game’s various allies and vendors. Doing so will prompt these non-player characters (NPCs) to give Guardians a gift of their own: a Legendary Dawning package (known in-game as A Gift in Return), which can be found in players’ Inventory

Combined, this roll makes Cold Front a decent weapon for most PvE encounters, such as the Security fight in Beyond Light’s Deep Stone Crypt in which Guardians have a lot of adds to kill. Together, this Cold Front god roll looks like t

Shattered Cipher is the last Override weapon, joining the ranks as a Rapid-Fire Frame, Void damaging, Power Machine Gun. While it does significantly less damage than most machine guns in Destiny 2, Shattered Cipher fires at 900 RPM. Like Sojourner's Tale, this weapon can be acquired from the Splicer Servitor rank, Splicer Armory, and Splicer's Kell Armory engrams. Shattered Cipher can also be used to complete the Season of the Splicer Week 7 challenge "Machine Gun Splicer." The best perks for Shattered Cipher

Opening the package, which basically functions as a legendary engram, has a chance of dropping the Glacioclasm void fusion rifle. It is an energy weapon that takes up players’ secondary slot in their character’s loadout. Placing some fusion rifle ammo finder mods in a helmet slot can help make this weapon as useful as possible in PvE, though, there are better uses of mod slots when completing in-game cont

A build centered around massive boss damage, this is for Hunters who want to pop a Golden Gun precision hit on the boss and then get their super back in relatively short order. When fighting Taniks in Deep Stone Crypt, this build allows the Hunter to send a nasty hit into the boss’s face and get their super back well before the next damage face without having to rely on picking up orbs generated by other Guardi

To escape, fans must shoot the metal grates on the ground to reveal power cores beneath. Shoot all the power cores (three total) to make the walls pause and retract. One of the grates will have a trapdoor beneath that will fall away after the walls cease moving. Guardians will then drop down the opening and continue making their way through the ship. The next big room players come across will spawn waves of Scorn. These enemies are tough and being able to destroy all three elemental shield types will be a plus in the next couple ro

That final perk is Rampage. Unlike Swashbuckler (players buff their weapon’s damage with each weapon kill or with melee kills), Rampage can only be buffed through kills with the weapon itself, up to three stacks. However, using the Rampage Spec mod increases the length of time the buff remains active, though, not by much. This perk is the best option for Cold Front in SMG. When combined with subsistence and Tactical Mag, players will have little trouble keeping Rampage active when there are a plethora of enem

Finally, the High-Impact Reserves perk comes into play. Since special ammo is at a premium in PvP, meaning players are almost always low on the commodity, High-Impact Reserves increases the damage done when low on ammo. Combine this innate damage boost with the range provided by Hammer-Forged Rifling, Projection Fuse, and Slideshot, and Glacioclasm becomes a bit of a monster, especially for characters with a lot of mobility. Unsuspecting opponents will rue the day they underestimated Glaciocl

Next, Slideshot is the key. This perk’s primary use is increasing range and stability (mostly range) after sliding. It also partially reloads the magazine from reserves, which is useful if gamers have any special ammo reserves, but this portion of the perk is largely negligible in PvP. Again, being able to get that kill from farther away is beneficial to come out on top, and Slideshot helps accomplish that. The stability increase does not hurt, especially for console us

Navigating the ship is relatively straightforward. Players will spend some time pulling levers, shooting spores, passing through protected fields, and destroying power cores to shut down electrical fields or open doors. Explore every room to locate the hidden levers, spores, and electric cores. Eventually, players will drop down onto a platform that will rotate as their Guardian gets close to create a surface on which to stand. Looking to the right will reveal a small chute into which gamers must drop, leading to a trash compactor area where the walls will close in (after pulling a lever) until players become squis
