DecemberReview: Destiny 2: Beyond Light
What is interesting lies outside the campaign when Europa properly opens up. The mysterious moon of Jupiter holds many secrets within the Clovis Bray facilities and discovering what the infamous Golden Age scientist was up to leads to genuine fantastic revelations that manage to push the story of Destiny further. All the intrigue and interesting lore bits surrounding Clovis Bray might have ultimately made for a better campaign than what Beyond Light does offer. Outside of its use in the story, Europa functions like any other patrol zone. Players load in, fly their Sparrows around, participate in Public Events, loot some Lost Sectors and complete quests. Europa distinguishes itself from other locales with its random snowstorms, that while impressive the first few times, get old the more you play. The Bray facilities' glossy white internals are unique enough compared to other locations, but wandering around Europa doesn't feel any different from any other location.
Next comes the ammunition, or magazine. Since Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore increase range, for PvE, Guardians will want to maximize their damage output by having to reload less. For this purpose, something like Enhanced Battery is useful for Glacioclasm because it puts more rounds in the magazine. The result is players needing to reload less, and when they do, slotting a Fusion Rifle loader mod or two into their Guardians’ gauntlets can be help
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
As long as one player is standing in each platform ring the ring will continue to rise. A spire will rise in the center of the arena at the end of the encounter, firing a beam at the door behind the center platform. The door opens, Vault of Glass secret chest 1 appears just beyond the doorway, and the six Guardians will make their way inside the Vault of Glass to officially start the R
More plusses include a great shooting location that keeps the cosplay from looking out-of-place, excellent camera work from photography wiz GeekStrong , and the amazing Iron Gjallarhorn (which came from comic book artist Todd McFarlane's McFarlane Toy
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
With the extended range provided by Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore, and the increased magazine capacity from Enhanced Battery, players will be able to rack up kills at a decent distance and rarely need to reload. This gives them more uptime on more powerful enemies and, thus, increases their damage output. Couple this philosophy with the final potential perk, Swashbuckler (not Rampage), and Glacioclasm becomes a nasty addition to Guardians’ arse
This build works by creating multiple shields to avoid damage, therefore allowing the player to rush enemies without worrying about dying. The SMG will be the main weapon used will running this build because when enemies are killed the player will create Warmind Cells. All the other enemies that are near these Cells will find themselves not being able to dish out as much damage, but even if they destroy these Cells they will just heal the player. As the player kills enemies in a row they will start racking up stacks of Charge With Light, which will then, in turn, be converted into an additional damage resistance because of Protective Light. This build can quite effectively turn the player into an unstoppable machine with the Mantle Shield, their main shield, health bar, and a continuous healing mechanic. All the player has to do is stay up close and personal and decimate all Edge of Fate expansion the enemies they possibly
To capitalize on having more shots available in the base magazine, gamers should be on the lookout for the Ambitious Assassin primary perk for the Glacioclasm. This perk overflows the magazine when fans reload, and the extent to which the magazine overflows is based on how many kills Guardians achieved with the weapon prior to reloading
