Destiny 2: The 5 Hardest Strikes (& The 5 Easiest)

Destiny 2: The 5 Hardest Strikes (& The 5 Easiest)

Bracus Zahn, also known as The Arms Dealer, represents a Pisces within Destiny 2 's collection of bosses because he is most reliant on "minions" and can not function alone or without his artillery. The showdown between Bracus Zahn is one of the high points in Destin

Speak with Ana Bray on Mars. She will have tasks for the player to complete before she can leave. Complete her four quests: Signs of Life, Recycled Components, Signal Shielding, and Force Reboot. Turn in the quests to Ana, and she will reward the players with a Braytech Osprey Rocket Launcher. Now that all four planets are ready for evacuation, return to Zavala to collect the Exotic Traveler’s Chosen Sidearm. Now that the quest is completed, players should have picked up at least five different weapons that will contribute to their light levels and helped round out their arsenals.

Even though Destiny 2 Story Guide 2: Beyond Light has been delayed , Season of Arrivals is still here to stay, and players should try to get the most out of it before it’s gone and the level cap moves up again. Collect as much gear as possible and complete all of the quests to level up each character and strengthen them for the upcoming sea

If it isn't hard enough taking on one faction of enemies in a strike, taking on multiple different types of enemies just feels like overkill at this point but that is exactly what players have to do in the Warden of Nothing strike. While players will mostly have to work their way through legions of Cabal to finish this strike, that doesn't mean the occasional Vex doesn't show up to ruin the mood. Add that with constantly having to avoid bullet trains at the most random of times, thus leaving players with their money's worth with this str

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

Become familiar with how weapons work now. Bungie made it a big deal that the weapon system would be changing drastically and it has. While the initial roll of out of these changes was a few weeks ago with update 2.0, Guardians are seeing the full force of these changes now that Forsaken has dropped. Weapons have returned to how things were in Destiny (1) with completely random rolls while certain weapons now find themselves in entirely new slots. The same weapon can drop five times and each time will come with different stats and abilities. This makes for some fun mixing/matching. To make things even easier, if a certain perk works well for one’s play style, putting that perk on the new gun only requires the dismantling of whatever version of the weapon not wanted but getting to keep the perks in modification form that are wanted. Then it’s simple as slapping it on the weapon kept. Forsaken is all about being user friendly and wants Guardians to make the most of their toys. Now that certain weapons find themselves in new slots such as Snipers or Shotguns being in all three slots of Primary, Secondary and Heavy, mixing and matching is highly encouraged. Play around with different load-outs because the possibilities have become greater. I found myself with a Shotgun in my Primary, a Sniper in my Secondary and my trusty Rocket Launcher in my Heavy. It was a blast and while I’ve switched it out since then it was fun playing around seeing how these new combinations favor each other. Pro-tip: Bows. That is all.

Capricorns are hard workers who are stubborn and far from content when they are not the top-dogs. Accordingly, Thaviks, the Depraved's inferior size and power in comparison to other bosses is compensated by his stubborn quickness and laser gun shoot

Go to Mercury and talk with Brother Vance again. He will have tasks for the players to complete as well. Complete his four quests: A Shattered Future, In His Footsteps, A Disciple’s Plea, and Better Days Ahead. Turn in the quest to receive the D.F.A Hand Cannon and head to Mars.

No matter if playing a Titan, Hunter or Warlock, each subclass now comes with an additional Attunement within it adding some spectacular new powers. Take the Warlocks Dawnblade which now has Attunement of Grace allowing for a super that slams a flaming sword into the ground creating a super rift that does AoE damage, is twice as large as a regular rift and grants both healing with empowering capabilities at the same time. It’s the ultimate team work class. Get to known the new Attunements because they are more than fun -- they’re worth it. Getting these new Attunements isn’t easy, though, as Guardians will have to collect Visions of Light an item that looks like a glowing blue feather that only drops from powerful enemies. After enough have been collected, a quest will appear guiding the Guardian forward. The entire Attunement doesn’t unlock right away either, Forsaken wants the player to feel like they’ve earned being more powerful. Unlocking all the sub-classes won’t be done in a day and that’s a good thing.
