Of course, this wouldn't be a new Destiny 2 expansion without a new Raid and Beyond Light delivers a standout one. Deep Stone Crypt fuses atmosphere, storytelling, puzzles and challenge in an immensely satisfying way. It's the crowning achievement of Beyond Light, even though few players might actually get a chance to enjoy it. After the Raid, there's precious little else to do. As mentioned before, the removal of content has left the remainder of Destiny 2 a shell of its former self. There's less of everything in Destiny 2: Beyond Light, but at least the gameplay is still fantastic. Bungie's gunplay has been spot-on since it first released Halo: Combat Evolved and they've continuously improved it since then. Destiny 2: Beyond Light remains a fun, fluid shooter to play through and will help take your mind off the continuous grind for a bit.

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

Beyond Light's story ends up somewhat superfluous, with the campaign falling into familiar Destiny storytelling problems. Eramis could have been an interesting villain had the campaign built more empathy towards her. In the end, she's just another generic, mustache-twirling Destiny villain. Beyond Light's campaign boils down to defeating her lieutenants and defeating her, similar to what we already did in Forsaken , except a lot fewer lieutenants and personality. Less interesting describes other elements of the story. After a six-year absence, the Exo-Stranger finally returns, but anything interesting we learn about her lies outside the main campaign. Drifter and Eris Morn are also along for the ride, but ultimately, their presence is negligible. Rather than being active members in the campaign, they're mostly used as set decoration you can interact with every now and again. It also doesn't help just how short the story is, lasting 5-6 hours depending on how fast you can get quality gear. The quest to destroy Eramis doesn't do much to get players invested, but it also doesn't overstay its welcome. It also helps that Bungie learned from Shadowkeep's campaign by cutting out the grinding missions, instead focusing more on narrative missions. It makes for a more entertaining romp than Shadowkeep.

Originally introduced during Season 17, Bungie features Raids and Dungeons in a weekly rotation to make them farmable with updated rewards. Bungie is making 2 of each available in the featured rotation each w

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

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?

Firepower - This mod however will allow players to regain a portion of their grenade energy every time they throw one, but it will consume one stack of Charged With Light. Players will want four of this mod equip

Xur, the exotic merchant of Destiny 2 , arrives every weekend until reset, giving players a short window to check out what he has in stock. With The Final Shape, Xur has seen a rework of what is on offer. Here's what the merchant has for the weekend of

This build created by Fanbyte will be entirely centered around the Icefall Mantle Gauntlets and for very good reason. These gauntlets are capable of absorbing damage from attacks, but the problem is that they slow the player down considerably and have to recharge before being used again. This means that this entire build will be centered around trying to fix those limitations. This build only has a few core things that are necessary, so players can experiment with other mods and abilities that might add some very interesting elements to this mod. Here are the weapons that players will w

Supercharged and Charged Up together make the maximum amount of CWL stacks five instead of two. At five stacks of CWL, grenades can restore up to 50% of super energy (each stack provides 10%). CWL stacks are built by picking up orbs of power thanks to the Taking Charge mod and by achieving precision kills with hand destiny2Base.Com cannons, bows, or scout rifles due to the Precision Charge
