Of course, this wouldn’t be a new Destiny 2 expansion without a new Raid and Beyond Light delivers a standout one. Deep Stone Crypt fuses atmosphere, storytelling, puzzles and challenge in an immensely satisfying way. It’s the crowning achievement of Beyond Light, even though few players might actually get a chance to enjoy it. After the Raid, there’s precious little else to do. As mentioned before, the removal of content has left the remainder of Destiny 2 a shell of its former self. There’s less of everything in Destiny 2: Beyond Light, but at least the gameplay is still fantastic. Bungie’s gunplay has been spot-on since it first released Halo: Combat Evolved and they’ve continuously improved it since then. Destiny 2: Beyond Light remains a fun, fluid shooter to play through and will help take your mind off the continuous grind for a bit.
Bungie brought back various exotic missions for players to run through to earn new rewards, gear, as well as craftable versions of Exotic weapon Farming weapons. Like the Raid and Dungeon rotator, this one changes on a weekly ba
Beyond Light’s story ends up somewhat superfluous, with the campaign falling into familiar Destiny storytelling problems. Eramis could have been an interesting villain had the campaign built more empathy towards her. In the end, she’s just another generic, mustache-twirling Destiny villain. Beyond Light’s campaign boils down to defeating her lieutenants and defeating her, similar to what we already did in Forsaken , except a lot fewer lieutenants and personality. Less interesting describes other elements of the story. After a six-year absence, the Exo-Stranger finally returns, but anything interesting we learn about her lies outside the main campaign. Drifter and Eris Morn are also along for the ride, but ultimately, their presence is negligible. Rather than being active members in the campaign, they’re mostly used as set decoration you can interact with every now and again. It also doesn’t help just how short the story is, lasting 5-6 hours depending on how fast you can get quality gear. The quest to destroy Eramis doesn’t do much to get players invested, but it also doesn’t overstay its welcome. It also helps that Bungie learned from Shadowkeep’s campaign by cutting out the grinding missions, instead focusing more on narrative missions. It makes for a more entertaining romp than Shadowkeep.
The announcement from This Week At Bungie laid out the complete list of Moon weapons that will be returning on July 6, rolled out with the weekly update, and just one week after the return of Iron Banner . These returning weapons incl
The current meta for the game’s PvP modes is sure to change once the new abilities and weapons get into the hands of competitive players online, so focusing on the current do’s and don’ts of the game is crucial to staying al
Updated May 20, 2025: Another week has come for Destiny 2 , which means missions, challenges, and rewards have been reset. Many fans are likely counting down the weeks until Destiny 2 ‘s Edge of Fate expansion launches , kicking off a new year of content. In addition to the first expansion, Year of Prophecy will include two major updates and a Star Wars- inspired second expansion called Renega
Therefore, Guardians need some long-range capabilities while also being formidable at medium and close ranges. For this purpose, both PC and console players will want a Glacioclasm with Hammer-Forged Rifling. Smallbore becomes a bit irrelevant in PvP, as special ammo is not abundant. Players typically only start out with two rounds of energy weapon ammunition in PvP, acquiring more by defeating Guardians who still have special ammo and picking up what they drop, which is not much. Thus, stability is unnecessary, as players will not be volley firing. Range w
Glacioclasm is only available as a loot drop during The Dawning seasonal event in Destiny 2. Players will have to bake some tasty treats to deliver to the game’s various allies and vendors. Doing so will prompt these non-player characters (NPCs) to give Guardians a gift of their own: a Legendary Dawning package (known in-game as A Gift in Return), which can be found in players’ Inventory
Destiny 2: Beyond Light picks up on Europa following the Darkness’s arrival and several planets disappearing. You and your Ghost travel to the mysterious Jupiter moon in search of answers. You arrive at an awkward time, however, with Eramis, a Fallen Kell, having found a way to wield the power of Darkness. With her mind focused on revenge against the Traveler, you must team up with Variks and the Exo-Stranger to embrace your inner-Darkness and take her down. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep was the ultimate tease, dangling the Darkness in front of players and ending right as things got interesting. Destiny 2: Beyond Light seemed like it would finally provide the revelations players have been waiting for since Destiny 2’s post-credits scene. That’s not the case, however, with Beyond Light serving as yet another side-story dangling revelations in player’s faces.
