An entire lot of haunting hits Destiny 2 at this time, with the beginning of its Halloween occasion and the launch of a brand new dungeon. Festival Of The Lost is for all gamers, sending us again alongside branches of the Infinite Forest to mash monsters and seize sweeties to swap for rewards. Destineers who personal the Shadowkeep enlargement get even spookier treats: a brand new dungeon diving into Hive horrors in addition to a brand new Exotic weapon quest for an insect-powered machinegun. Candy, monsters, bug gun, gotcha.
Festival Of the Lost is headed again into the Infinite Forest for an additional sweethunt. Yes, it does have matchmaking, so that you needn’t discover your individual fireteam. We’ll have 15 minutes to clear branches of the Forest, mashing monsters and gathering Candy and Chocolate Strange Coins. The Forest is a bit bland in comparison with the wonderful playground of the Solstice occasion’s European Aerial Zone, however it’s sufficiently spooky.
We’ll commerce our sweeties with our spacegrandma, Eva Levente, for rewards. She’s acquired extra masks and the large thrilling reward on provide appears to be the Braytech Werewolf, a reprise of an outdated Warmind auto rifle now coming with a spiffy paintjob and random rolls. I fairly just like the Winter Wolf so new (and higher) rolls sounds grand. The microtransaction retailer is stocked with Halloweeny issues too, some for Bright Dust and extra for Silver.
Running till November 19th, Festival Of The Lost is open to all Destiny 2 gamers, even free-to-play of us. See this page for extra on the occasion. Eva’s made the Tower look pretty too. I all the time knew Drifter could be nicely up for Halloween.
For Shadowkeep gamers, at this time sees the opening of the brand new dungeon, Pit Of Heresy. Like Forsaken’s Shattered Throne, it’s a repeatable three-player exercise bigger, extra advanced, and tougher than a Strike however a bit lower than a full six-player Raid. It’s headed deep into the Shadowkeep and ooh I’m eager to get caught into this.
Shadowkeep additionally at this time kicks off the hunt for a brand new Exotic weapon, the Xenophage machinegun. It’s slow-firing and has a small ammo capability however does pump out explosive bullets and is powered by an insect, in line with the real-world reproduction Bungie have been displaying for some time. Maybe an artist misheard the temporary for beads on spooky moon guns as “bees”.
Today’s Update 2.6.1. additionally fastened a bug that left newcomers unable to get Izanagi’s Burden, the sword-shaped sniper rifle that’s at present standard for giant injury within the hardest challenges.
Another huge change is making Striker Titans slightly less ludicrous in PvP, with a nerf to how a lot Super power they get again from a kill and regen not triggering on these kills. Hopefully I’ll now solely get trampled by the identical thundering Titan twice in a row on a single Super slightly 600. Gits. The Warlock’s Everlasting Flames is tuned down a bit too, significantly in PvP. Striker Titans specifically have been ridiculous and the apparent tree to decide on. Maybe someday they’ll buff extra timber which suck. And to get pleasure from this less-gittish PvP, the brand new Momentum Control mode hit the Crucible at this time.
See the 2.6.1 patch notes for extra.
