The subsequent season of Destiny 2 begins subsequent week, and Bungie in the present day revealed extra of what we’ll be doing within the Season Of The Worthy and why. Turns out, the dregs of the Cabal who survived our newest drubbing have a spiteful last-ditch plan to straight-up crash a miles-long superweapon spaceship into Earth. That’ll be an issue. So off we’ll go, powering up the defences of the cranky historic AI, Rasputin and looting all types of recent shinies alongside the way in which. This season is not going to profit from Bungie’s recently-announced intent to chop down on FOMO however hey, I’ll take any newness for now.
Apparently these Cabal scamps try to squish us with the Almighty, that vast spaceship gun that they had pointed at our Sun throughout Destiny 2’s Red War marketing campaign. Old man Rasputin could also be armed to the cyberteeth however appears he’ll need assistance getting off the bed. We’ll be clearing bunkers for Rasputin and bashing baddies in new Seraph Tower public occasions. I do just like the look of his robots. Bungie don’t clarify how Seraph Towers will work however I assume broadly just like the waves of Escalation Protocol and Altars Of Sorrow?
A brand new seasonal artifact, a giant ol’ sword named the Warmind Khanjali, will allow us to unlock new seasonal mods and bonus Power ranges. And a brand new season cross observe will award new shaders, seasonal armour and weapons, improve supplies, ornaments, animations, and seasonal perks as we degree it up. You know, it’s a brand new Destiny season doing the brand new Destiny season stuff – for good and dangerous.
Season Of The Worthy can even deliver again Trials Of Osiris, as previously announced. Running solely on weekends, this top-end PvP mode will problem gamers to a gauntlet of 3v3 matches, with the final word purpose of profitable seven in a row to attain a visit to The Lighthouse and further rewards. Power variations might be enabled however, opposite to preliminary plans, bonus Power from the season Artifact received’t think about. Following the preliminary announcement of Trials, Destiny 2 director Luke Smith tweeted final week that Bungie “will be disabling the Artifact for Power-enabled PVP (Iron Banner & Trials) until we can implement a Power Cap feature.” Trials has some very fairly Osirian weapons and armour.
Newness obtainable to all gamers, whether or not they purchase the cross or not, consists of Trials, Seraph Towers, bunkers, the seasonal artifact and mods, the season armour, and a brand new Exotic auto rifle named Tommy’s Matchbook. Newness reserved for passholders consists of Weekly Rasputin Challenges, Legendary Lost Sectors, extra season cross goodies and sooner, extra weapons, and this absurd quad-barrelled shotgun coming back from the primary game, The 4th Horseman:
The Season Of The Worthy will begin on Tuesday the 10th of March, with Trials Of Osiris returning on March 13th. See Bungie’s page for extra particulars.
I actually want the season had a brand new raid. I nonetheless actually like Garden Of Salvation from Shadowkeep however I’m prepared for a brand new one. Maybe subsequent season?
To be clear, this season is not going to be one benefiting from Bungie’s revelation that the present season mannequin “has too much FOMO”. Luke Smith talked so much final week about how they plan to enhance the subsequent yr of seasons, however we nonetheless have two seasons to go this yr (together with Worthy itself). It’s not nice to know that even Bungie apparently assume Worthy might be one thing of a disappointing season. But hey, I’m prepared for a brand new season with some new issues to do and a few new goodies to get. I’m prepared for a new meta too – and never simply because Fighting Lion is getting buffed.
In this final week of the season, keep in mind to cash in your Polarized Fractaline earlier than the Obelisks and your timegems vanish with Worthy. If you wish to gear up for Trials however will not be certain which weapons are value getting however don’t wish to attempt them your self (tch, for disgrace), that good boy “Fallout Plays” runs via which he thinks are and aren’t value farming for PvP:
