Malfeasance is the best single-target damage Hand Cannon in the game. This weapon's main trait, Explosive Shadow , acts similarly to Halo's Needler, causing targets to explode when imbued with enough rounds. This makes the weapon excellent at higher difficulties where single-target damage is a necessity for both weaker enemies and Champions; which this weapon decima

At the time of writing, Cirrus Plaza has been in the game for roughly a week, which means that it's too early to make a hyper-informative judgment on it. What is clear is that this bright, colorful, arcade and mall-themed Neomuna map looks incredible. It's also a nice respite from bigger maps like Disjunction that favor extremely long-range gameplay and might not be everyone's cup of

Become familiar with how weapons work now. Bungie made it a big deal that the weapon system would be changing drastically and it has. While the initial roll of out of these changes was a few weeks ago with update 2.0, Guardians are seeing the full force of these changes now that Forsaken has dropped. Weapons have returned to how things were in Destiny (1) with completely random rolls while certain weapons now find themselves in entirely new slots. The same weapon can drop five times and each time will come with different stats and abilities. This makes for some fun mixing/matching. To make things even easier, if a certain perk works well for one’s play style, putting that perk on the new gun only requires the dismantling of whatever version of the weapon not wanted but getting to keep the perks in modification form that are wanted. Then it’s simple as slapping it on the weapon kept. Forsaken is all about being user friendly and wants Guardians to make the most of their toys. Now that certain weapons find themselves in new slots such as Snipers or Shotguns being in all three slots of Primary, Secondary and Heavy, mixing and matching is highly encouraged. Play around with different load-outs because the possibilities have become greater. I found myself with a Shotgun in my Primary, a Sniper in my Secondary and my trusty Rocket Launcher in my Heavy. It was a blast and while I’ve switched it out since then it was fun playing around seeing how these new combinations favor each other. Pro-tip: Bows. That is all.

In 6V6 Rusted Lands provides a playground where gameplay is guaranteed to be fast-paced. Getting to the enemy won't take forever, and the long lines of sight areas are limited by a huge abundance of cover. As such, there are countless opportunities for shotgun lovers and those who enjoy a good mid-range hand cannon du

In 3v3 however, Convergence is exciting. The two main routes to the mid-area and the waterfall heavy ammo spot add a bit of excitement to Trials, with the cliffside favoring snipers and the waterfall side favorite close and mid-range gameplay. That battle for control in mid is always a thrilling experience with fewer players aro

Over the past two years, Bungie has done good work slowly removing some of the more disturbing aspects from the Eververse store. Gameplay-focused items like armor, sparrows and Ghost shells have been moved out of the store and are, like in Destiny, offered as in-game rewards. At this point in time, the Eververse store purely sells cosmetic items, including weapon ornaments, emotes and finishers.

This boss is an abstract foe, as it is a purple orb with an alien-tech cell wall. However, gamers should be wary of the difficulty of this strike that takes place on the Titan. Additionally, the hordes of enemies and the hungering ogres during this escapade add to a gamer's strugg

There's plenty of good gameplay to be had outside of the mid area, too. The outer corridors have a bit more space and missing pve activities can be useful for players wanting to set up flanks or looking to break an enemy's position if they are bunkering down in one spot. Overall, the variety is good here, and the map isn't overly big, which forces players into encounters fas

No matter if playing a Titan, Hunter or Warlock, each subclass now comes with an additional Attunement within it adding some spectacular new powers. Take the Warlocks Dawnblade which now has Attunement of Grace allowing for a super that slams a flaming sword into the ground creating a super rift that does AoE damage, is twice as large as a regular rift and grants both healing with empowering capabilities at the same time. It’s the ultimate team work class. Get to known the new Attunements because they are more than fun -- they’re worth it. Getting these new Attunements isn’t easy, though, as Guardians will have to collect Visions of Light an item that looks like a glowing blue feather that only drops from powerful enemies. After enough have been collected, a quest will appear guiding the Guardian forward. The entire Attunement doesn’t unlock right away either, Forsaken wants the player to feel like they’ve earned being more powerful. Unlocking all the sub-classes won’t be done in a day and that’s a good thing.
