Light level definitely matters in several of the game modes offered up in Destiny 2 's PvP modes, but to focus solely on those numbers alone would be a disservice to the perks made available to you. Don't forget the unique and often game-changing perks of legendary and exotic weapons, as well as armor, to use in order to better equip yourself before your next ma

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.

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 Lighthouse 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

Pull the weapon out, get a melee kill to get five stacks of Swashbuckler immediately for a hefty damage buff, and go to town with this fusion rifle. For the purposes of Destiny 2 PvE , Swashbuckler is going to be more useful for Glacioclasm, as the damage bonus stacks can be gained with a single melee kill. Conversely, Rampage stacks can only be gained by defeating enemies with the weapon itself, thereby wasting a few unoptimized shots to build the damage buff. This would be fine with a kinetic weapon, as primary ammo is abundant. With energy and heavy weapons, however, every shot matt

Acquiring the Dead Man’s Tale exotic scout rifle in Destiny 2 requires a few steps. The first step players should take is to load into the Arms Dealer strike on the EDZ. Once there, Guardians need to kill all the enemies in the first room. After accomplishing that, instead of deploying their Ghost and proceeding through the strike, gamers will notice some doors open on the right side of the room. Go through those doors and fight through the enemies beyond until reaching a couple of platforms outs

The Gorgon encounter is the next step in the Vault of Glass Raid, and it's a unique obstacle because it requires no combat to complete. Players will need to traverse a maze, avoiding the sight of the Gorgons to prevent them from exploding. A Gorgon explosion results in a team wipe, and the challenge will need to rest

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

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.
