Technically, Bungie didn’t lie about this. Players all got their packages and their armor was available in all of its resplendent glory, but what they didn’t know was how awful the stats on every piece of armor would be. On average, Solstice armor stats sat anywhere from 20-30% weaker than high-tier armor, thus rendering it completely useless for endgame content. Like clockwork, the community was appalled at this decision. Many had spent a great deal of time, effort, and even money to acquire the exact looks they wanted from Solstice. To have that made so useless so quickly was a huge blow to mor

These Golden Gun shots are powerful, and interact similarly to the Super ability, though it does not create Orbs of Power on kills like the actual Golden Gun. Exotics like Celestial Nighthawk are able to transform its Golden Gun rounds into a single round, just like the origi

Zaouli's Bane is like Sunshot's little cousin. In PvE, it serves the same purpose of add-clear, and comes with some good perks for the job. Like Fatebringer, it can roll with both Explosive Payload and Firefly , giving it both add-clear and reload, but it can also run with Incandescent, which gets rid of the reload benefit for more add-clear through spreading stacks of Sco

The Guardians of **Destiny 2 ** are once again celebrating the annual Solstice of Heroes, a month-long recognition of all the magnificent and wondrous deeds completed over the past year. Historically, Solstice has been a point of contention for many in the Destiny 2 community . The time required to achieve everything the event has to offer is often significantly longer than other events offered throughout the y

Every year, the event coordinator of Destiny 2 ’s Tower, Eva Levante, returns with a smile on her face and a task at hand. The Solstice and its rewards are generally tied to two main factors: the Magnificent Armor, and the European Aerial Zone (E

The Khvostov 7G-0X is a rare case of Kinetic weapons getting a good add-clear option, and the weapon is not only amazing at it, but the way it does it is uniquely lethal. Unlike most add-clear weapons, which typically cause explosive auras around targets to deal damage, this weapon has bullets that ricochet between multiple enemies at once. This places it in a unique position where it can add-clear around corners hitting enemies behind cover and not even visible to the pla

Since the release of Destiny 2 Episode Heresy 2, monetization has been a thorn in all player's sides. Though Bungie tweaked it to be fairer, players still resented the idea that Bungie was selling a $49.99 Season Pass with microtransactions on top of it all while asking players to pay up front to get the game. Anyone hoping things would get better after Bungie's split from Activision isn't going to be happy to hear what's happening in Shadowkeep.

In addition to the monumental effort required to simply afford the ornaments, players are also upset about one specific task required to activate the glow on their shiny new armor. Once players have earned their Magnificent sets, one of the tasks necessary for the glow is to achieve seven wins in Trials of Osiris . This high-intensity PvP mode is widely considered to be the most skillful form of Crucible in Destiny 2 . Many lower-skill players tend to avoid it entirely due to the time and ability required to achieve the best rewards. While Bungie may be trying to bolster the population of the mode to improve matchmaking balance, Trials contains a myriad of other problems as well. In the past, Bungie has responded to negative player feedback like this with on-the-fly changes to make the goals easier, so that may happen this year as w

The draw of Quicksilver Storm is that it is a primary weapon that can periodically output the damage of a special weapon after achieving certain objectives. This puts it in spaces like Tarrabah, where it performs like a typical firearm most of the time, but allows for brief periods where it punches way above the belt of its weapon type. Quicksilver Storm does this via grenades that are charged and stored whenever its micro-missiles land on target. Gaining enough charges allows players to manually load and fire an explosive payload after holding the reload button and switching to an alternative fire mode. Not only does this do excellent single-target damage and assist in add-clear, but this gives players better control of their ammo economy as players can use the grenade launcher instead of their special and heavy weapons to save on a

Collect Light and Dark Motes to charge your weapon. Each Knight Echo will drop three motes. Five motes of the same type will charge them, and they depend on where you’re standing when you kill the Echo. These motes will only last for 30 seconds after collection until there is a full charge. Use the charge on the matching pillars by pressing the triggers on top of them. When you’re done, climb up into a small ar
