Of all the PS4 and Xbox One AAA titles, perhaps none is more infamous for its load times than Destiny 2 . Booting up the game is a chose on current-gen machines, and then comes loading into the planets and Tower. Considering you have to go to the Tower to collect bounties, missions and decrypt engrams, getting around Destiny 2 is a chore. While we await the proper PS5 version coming December 8, playing the game on PS5 via backwards compatibility actually isn’t so bad. Load times are dramatically lower than on PS4, making getting around less of a chore. It excites us to imagine what next-gen load times look like.

To that end, the first roll for which Guardians should aim is Extended Barrel, which offers Cold Front more range, handling (able to pull the weapon out faster), and stability to control that pesky recoil common in SMGs. This gives Guardians more wiggle room when facing multiple enemies at medium or long ranges. Regardless, this weapon is still more useful at medium to close ran

Secondly, players will want to get Accurized Rounds. This roll increases the weapon’s range, combining with Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore to make Cold Front more of a rapid-firing auto rifle at medium range. While the increased range will not make the gun as useful as a Destiny 2 scout rifle or hand cannon at longer ranges, the entire point of an SMG is to get closer to enemies anyway. This roll just increases the optimal threshold for causing damage, which is important in

Our 2019 Game of the Year , Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil was an astounding addition to the PS4’s library. Despite being a linear game in a set map, Resident Evil 2 took a long time to load, especially when first booting up the game. While it didn’t reach the horrid minute mark, it always cut it too close. On PS5, the bootup time is cut in half, getting players in faster. There’s not a huge change when loading a save, but there’s at least a slight improvement.

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 cannons, bows, or scout rifles due to the Precision Charge

The loot box functions as a glorified legendary engram, having a chance to drop any of the items exclusive to The Dawning seasonal event. Cold Front is a kinetic SMG, taking up players’ primary weapon slot in their characters’ loadout. Unlike the Glacioclasm (The Dawning Fusion Rifle) and the Avalanche (The Dawning Machine Gun), however, using ammo finder mods for SMGs is pointless, as this resource drops from enemies like ca

Glacioclasm is only available as a loot drop during The Dawning seasonal event in Destiny 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

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 exotic weapons armor, however, every shot matt

We’ve taken some of PS4’s most popular, and longest-loading titles, and put them to the test on PS5’s SSD. Do note, to get the most out of PS4 titles on PS5, the games have to be installed on the PS5’s SSD. You can still play PS4 games off an external HDD, but you won’t get the load time benefits.

This build revolves primarily around abusing the Hunter’s dodge ability, particularly with Gambler’s Dodge selected to recharge Withering Blade when dodging near enemies. The two Distribution mods ensure ability cooldowns are reduced, including supers, when dodging near enemies. Moreover, the Absolution mods make grenades recharge all abilities, including sup

While Prometheus Lens is not critical to this build, and certainly will not provide a tremendous amount of DPS when fighting bosses, it does help keep Blade Barrage ready to clear adds, which is the entire point of this bu

This is also true of online gaming experiences. Modern online shooters like Destiny 2 give players a staggering amount options when it comes to weapons and abilities. Players have their choice of several classes, with many sub-classes and even more abilities within those. One can come up with any number of combinations on those alone, and that’s without complimenting pieces of gear.
