DecemberReview: Destiny 2: Forsaken
Uldren Sov serves as a passable antagonist but ultimately suffers from a lack of interaction with your Guardian. Outside of a handful of cutscenes from Destiny and a brief interaction at the start of Forsaken, Uldren hasn’t had much impact on your story. Much of the animus you’ll hold for him lies solely on whether you like Cayde-6. It doesn't help that a random final boss appears out of nowhere to rob Uldren of his spotlight.
The draw of Quicksilver Storm is that it is a primary weapon that can periodically output the damage of a special weapon after achieving certain objectives. This puts it in spaces like Tarrabah, where it performs like a typical firearm most of the time, but allows for brief periods where it punches way above the belt of its weapon type. Quicksilver Storm does this via grenades that are charged and stored whenever its micro-missiles land on target. Gaining enough charges allows players to manually load and fire an explosive payload after holding the reload button and switching to an alternative fire mode. Not only does this do excellent single-target damage and assist in add-clear, but this gives players better control of their ammo economy as players can use the grenade launcher instead of their special and heavy weapons to save on a
The Magnificent Armor is where the real work begins. Each player is gifted a Renewed set of armor that has low stats and looks old and dilapidated. Every piece of the set has a subset of tasks associated with it. These might include goals such as Complete Five Strikes, or Get 50 Precision Kills, or other things to that effect. Once players complete all requirements on all five pieces of gear, the armor can be upgraded to the Majestic versions with higher stats and better aesthetics. With this upgrade also comes a new, more challenging set of objectives to complete for each armor piece once again. In 2020, this first upgrade also unlocks the universal ornaments for the set as w
For most players, reacting is something that has become second nature. It is this quickness without the need for deliberation that helps them surpass their previous high marks and allows them to overcome any and all difficulties taking place in-game. Those not quick on the trigger will find Exodus Crash to be exceedingly hard to surpass due to the frantic nature of the strike with its exploding enemies and its quick but ferocious boss fight. That said, for seasoned gamers, this is a strike that could be completed with their eyes clo
There’s no beating around the bush that Destiny Onimusha 2 Yagyu Village guide was a disaster. Bungie has owned up to their mistakes and the result is Destiny 2: Forsaken. While it’s not cool that it’s taken $140 to get here (and more if you splurge on microtransactions), Destiny 2: Forsaken presents Destiny 2 with its much-needed reset. The campaign is compelling enough thanks to its excellent boss design, though Uldren lacks the history to be a strong antagonist. The new locales are a joy to explore and provide a nice change in pace compared to the vanilla worlds. Gambit is an exciting new mode, but, like the Blind Well, is heavily dependent on what kind of teammates you have. Destiny 2 needed something to save it and Forsaken bought it a new lease on life.
This weapon also has the rare trait of coming in both Kinetic or Strand depending on whether its catalyst is equipped, meaning it can be used in Prismatic to gain Transcendence energy for both light and dark elements simultaneously, or on Strand to create more Tang
The Summoner probably has the most flexible perk pool on this list, sporting a myriad of reload perks as well as add-clear and single-target damage perks. Rolls like Subsistence and Overflow combined with Incandescent allow you to dish out Solar explosions and Scorch over a longer period of time, and perks like Heal Clip will allow you to heal yourself and allies after reloading. On the PvP side, The Summoner sports Zen Moment, Perpetual Motion, and Target Lock. Heal Clip is also good for proccing certain Solar Keywords, which can be made easier by perks like Onslaught, which will make you kill and reload faster than the gun's intended base st
Critical Anomaly arguably brings more utility than any sniper rifle before it. Not only is this a great weapon for dealing damage — with just about every boss damage perk one could want — but it is also the first of Destiny 2’s Sniper Rifles to roll with Chill Clip. This allows players to stun Overload Champions in a single shot by applying Slow to them, and stun Unstoppable Champions in at least two shots of the sniper by applying Freeze, which will stun them and deal outgoing damage when Shattered by any other wea
In addition to the monumental effort required to simply afford the ornaments, players are also upset about one specific task required to activate the glow on their shiny new armor. Once players have earned their Magnificent sets, one of the tasks necessary for the glow is to achieve seven wins in Trials of Osiris . This high-intensity PvP mode is widely considered to be the most skillful form of Crucible in Destiny 2 . Many lower-skill players tend to avoid it entirely due to the time and ability required to achieve the best rewards. While Bungie may be trying to bolster the population of the mode to improve matchmaking balance, Trials contains a myriad of other problems as well. In the past, Bungie has responded to negative player feedback like this with on-the-fly changes to make the goals easier, so that may happen this year as w
