Forsaken’s plot is a refreshing break from the consistent ‘save the world’ plots of Destiny games, and expansions tend to throw at us. The tale is more personal and adds additional depth to the generic light vs. dark struggle that has permeated the series to this point. Forsaken represents a leap forward for storytelling in Destiny, surpassing the benchmark set by The Taken King .

Gambit is an excellent game mode when working with a functional team. It provides plenty of tension and excitement as both teams race to the finish and pulse-pounding action during an invasion. Like all team-based modes, Gambit is best when played with a group of friends. A team that fails to work together will quickly lose. Considering Gambit is a best of five game mode, keeping a solid squad together is vital.

Fatebringer , a Legendary Kinetic Hand Cannon, easily boasts some of the best handling of its weapon type. Its Adaptive Frame gives a well-grounded grip and easier maneuvering. The biggest boon of this weapon is that, with the correct perk combo, it can essentially roll with the benefits of three perks. This comes from the fact that it rolls Firefly in its second column, which is like a combination of Outlaw and Dragonfly, and this is without considering the first col

Bungie's history with Destiny has been something akin to whiplash. First they release a lackluster base game (Destiny, Destiny 2) and then they release two awful expansions. Finally, when players are at their lowest, Bungie releases an enormous expansion ( The Taken King , Forsaken ) that fundamentally changes the game. It's a high Bungie achieved last year with Forsaken, which ushered in the best mission design, sandbox activities and post-launch content since The Taken King. But can that streak continue? Destiny 2: Shadowkeep aims to build on Forsaken's success with a new campaign, a restructured Armor system and more ways to earn loot. Does Destiny 2: Shadowkeep scare up enough quality content, or should it have remain buried on the Moon?

With less than a month left in _Destiny 2 Episode Heresy 2 _ : Season of the Worthy, players have a little time to complete any remaining objectives unique to this season. The season pass, as well as maxing out light level are two of the main objectives, but there are a few other things that offer players some modest rewards left to complete before Season 11 goes under

An embodiment of Xol, the Will of Thousands, and one of the horrifying Worm Gods , the Whisper of the Worm is a terrifying Sniper Rifle in both its appearance and ability. Matching its rather unsettling "infected" appearance is an impressive stat array with high impact, range, and aim assista

For damage, Precision Instrument bumps the damage up to 25% with enough hits. The gun isn't by any means a must-have, but high-end players will want one of these around for when Void Surge is active, where it really pushes past the competit

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep's greatest strength is what's kept Destiny so popular all these years: the gameplay. The blend of shooting and looting remains as addictive and satisfying as ever, even if we're still firing at the same enemies we've been fighting since 2014. Bungie has done a solid job altering and perfecting the formula over the years and Shadowkeep represents the next big step in its refinement, Armor 2.0.

It’s no secret that Destiny 2’s year of existence hasn’t been a joyride. From a disappointing launch that lacked vital features present in Destiny by the end of its lifecycle to several controversies, both Bungie and fans have been put through the ringer. Destiny 2 needs a reset and Bungie hopes to recapture the magic with Destiny 2: Forsaken, a true expansion built to give players exactly what they want. With a new campaign, weapons, locations and quality of life improvements, does Forsaken successfully press the reset button?

Still Hunt is one of the strongest snipers in the game, if not definitively the best. It's main trait, Cayde's Retribution, allows the gun to fire Golden Gun shots after landing enough headshots and/or picking up enough Orbs of Po

As with most purchases put in front of Guardians, the ornaments can be bought with Bright Dust, a currency earned in-game, or Silver, the premium currency bought with real cash. The set costs either 6000 Bright Dust or 1500 Silver. For a straight comparison, 1500 silver is about $12-$15 depending on the silver bundle size purchased. Keep in mind, access to the entire Destiny 2 season of content and battle pass is 1000 silver. Bright Dust is a little trickier. The majority of players use a single Guardian as their only character in the game. A single character has the ability to earn 1200 Bright Dust per week if they complete all of the proper bounties. That means for one guardian to acquire their one set of armor, they’ll need to complete every available bounty for five straight weeks. If players want the armor on all three characters, it will require triple that effort. This is a lot of work or a lot of money to ask of players for a set of cosmetic orname
