Destiny 2 Weekly Reset: New Activities Challenges And Rewards

Cosplayer KatofValkyrie is responsible for this marvelous Hunter cosplay , which fits well with the surrounding blue and pink strobe-style lighting. Hunters have never looked cooler or, for that matter, more deadly (the Graviton Lance looks very re


Originally introduced during Season 17, Bungie features Raids and Dungeons in a weekly rotation to make them farmable with updated rewards. Bungie is making 2 of each available in the featured rotation each w


The primary perk Guardians will want for Cold Front is Subsistence. This roll automatically reloads the SMG from reserves, with the drawback of reducing how much ammo players can carry for the gun at once. The trade-off is worth it, though, as minimizing the need to reload will enable gamers to capitalize on the final roll for Cold Fr


Saint-14 and the Trails of Osiris offer players a high-end PvP activity in exchange for powerful rewards. Starting with Episode Heresy, Bungie made getting to the Lighthouse easier , while still offering top-tier rewards for those who can achieve a winning streak. Similar to most vendors in Destiny 2 , Saint-14 has a reputation system that rewards players for ranking up through playing and completing bount


To that end, the first roll for which Guardians should aim is Extended Barrel, which offers Cold Front more range, handling (able to pull the weapon out faster), and stability to control that pesky recoil common in SMGs. This gives Guardians more wiggle room when facing multiple enemies at medium or long ranges. Regardless, this weapon is still more useful at medium to close ran


Bungie brought back various exotic missions for players to run through to earn new rewards, gear, as well as craftable versions of exotic Adept Weapons. Like the Raid and Dungeon rotator, this one changes on a weekly ba


In Gambit, the overlap between PvE and PvP really shines, with countless enemies to consider while also trying to eliminate members of the opposing fireteam through invasions and mote collecting. However, in Gambit Prime the objective is made more difficult with the inclusion of wizards that need to be eliminated in order to do damage to the Primeval. Remember that Gambit Prime is one winner-take-all round, and whenever the Primeval is summoned, THREE wizards will need to be eliminated first to make the boss vulnera


Strategies in Gambit and Gambit Prime can't be stressed enough because of the reliance on teamwork and communication needed to win rounds. One of the more crucial strategies that can be utilized more often is team shooting enemies that spawn in their respective zones on the map. Those same Cabal or Taken that spawn much healthier than others will need multiple pairs of eyes on them to take them down quickly and efficiently. Playing through Destiny 2's different seasons can help you break out of habits that don't incorporate teammates, or even just taking a break with a different multiplayer game to help flex those ner

There are drawbacks to convenience in real life and it’s the same for video games. Despite their photo-realistic looks and often good gameplay, many modern games fall into the trap of being too convenient. With the games handling so much, little is asked of players, and that’s kind of a shame. Some of the best experiences in gaming come about when players have to do things for themselves.


Xur, the exotic merchant of Destiny 2 , arrives every weekend until reset, giving players a short window to check out what he has in stock. With The Final Shape, Xur has seen a rework of what is on offer. Here's what the merchant has for the weekend of

This is also true of online gaming experiences. Modern online shooters like Destiny 2 give players a staggering amount options when it comes to weapons and abilities. Players have their choice of several classes, with many sub-classes and even more abilities within those. One can come up with any number of combinations on those alone, and that’s without complimenting pieces of gear.


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

Some of that can happen in Skyrim too, but players have so many more options in that game. Ever-present fast travel makes retreat a much more attractive option. Easily-trained skills mean always having a strong backup option, with little need for either planning or improvisation. The same goes for having enemies that rely almost exclusively on dealing pure damage rather than attacking through debuffs and drains. It’s not necessarily easier, especially on higher difficulties, but it's more convenient for the player. It’s not 100% bad, but it does come at the cost of a potentially more rewarding and memorable adventure.
