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

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

Defeat Taken enemies and clear the Wasteland of Taken Blights. Since it is a Darkness Zone, make sure that at least one of your teammates is alive at a time, or you will need to restart at the last checkpoint. If you find a small structure covered in sand, enter it to find a secret chest. This may be a way to raise your power level before the final boss fight. Find a large building with a small tunnel that glows pink. Take this tunnel to the Hexahed

The EAZ is where the bulk of the event takes place. Floating high above the European Dead Zone , one of Destiny 2 ’s main patrol areas, the EAZ is a small map with a great deal of verticality. Guardians drop in as a fireteam of three and race the clock, killing as many boss enemies as they can before time runs out. Once the clock hits zero, a large boss spawns, and then the event is over. The number of bosses slain during the initial run determines how many reward chests appear around the EAZ after the boss has been destroyed. If players fight faster, they earn more l

Some strikes just do not live up to expectations. It isn't that players want each strike to live up to the hype or be bone-crushingly difficult, it is just they would prefer a snippet of edge-of-your-seat action during one of these events. Sadly, once players get past a few somewhat rough encounters with the enemy in The Insight Terminus, they will soon encounter one of the weakest bosses in the game. Kargen the Technocrat fails to live up to his billing, allowing players to easily walk all over

Use your Sparrow to ride the giant red ribbons in the sky to Kell Echo. There are still some hazards, such as enemies and obstacles. The last diamond before the large one contains a chest. Stop at the entrance, follow the hallway, and across the chasm is a secret chest. Continue on to the large pyramid to face Kell E

By far, one of the hardest aspects of The Pyramidion isn't the enemy a player will face, it is the number of enemies that if not careful can overrun a player in mere seconds that makes this strike so difficult. Add that with a barrage of enemies that can easily regenerate themselves and one will surely find themselves sweating bullets as they try to just stay afloat. This is one strike that allies and teamwork are crucial to a mission's success as there are no lone wolves in The Pyramidion. At least not ones that surv

The Arms Dealer is one of the more straightforward strikes in the video game . Have your team find their way into a Red Legion ship and take out Braccus Zann. Sounds easy enough? Well, for the most part, it is quite easy, especially when compared to other strikes in the game. Players never really feel overwhelmed with enemies in this strike nor does precise teamwork matter in overcoming all obstacles presented. Not to mention that this is one of the easiest boss fights in the game, making this a strike that few should find difficult making their way thro

For most players, reacting is something that has become second nature. It is this quickness without the need for deliberation that helps them surpass their previous high marks and allows them to overcome any and all difficulties taking place in-game. Those not quick on the trigger will find Exodus Crash to be exceedingly hard to surpass due to the frantic nature of the strike with its exploding enemies and its quick but ferocious boss fight. That said, for seasoned gamers, this is a strike that could be completed with their eyes clo

Over the past two years, Bungie has done good work slowly removing some of the more disturbing aspects from the Eververse store. Gameplay-focused items like armor, sparrows and Ghost shells have been moved out of the store and are, like in Destiny 2 Legacy features, offered as in-game rewards. At this point in time, the Eververse store purely sells cosmetic items, including weapon ornaments, emotes and finishers.

Hobgoblins will start to spawn, so manage them when you can. If you are hit by one of Kell Echo’s balls of darkness, you will be teleported back to the beginning of the platforms and the Entropy will start to build again. Repeat this process and try to get his health down as much as possible. When you reach Kell Echo, damage him as much as possi

Meanwhile, Bright Dust was introduced as an in-game currency that would allow players to earn Eververse items without Silver. With Shadowkeep, however, Bungie has significantly neutered what players can buy all while increasing the amount of Bright Dust players can earn. Items purchasable with Bright Dust are hidden away in a less-than-stellar menu. Only a few items are available at a time with new ones rotating in every few hours.

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
