Any of the reload perks, be it Enlightened Action , Perpetual Motion, Rapid Hit , or Frenzy, are all great, allowing this weapon to really slide into the Submachine gun's territory in terms of how often players can keep their damage up. Paired with Destabilizing rounds, this weapon really does function like a Submachine gun, more so than Warden's Law, with a pure add-clear perk designed to spread damage around. Players who rely on Void Keywords for their build, or just want a new Void weapon, should get a good Hawkmoon God Roll out of t

The third Destiny 2 dungeon, the Prophecy Dungeon has a recommended Power Level of 1040 , and some of the enemies have Power Levels of 1060. Before starting the dungeon, rank up your characters to the max Power Level to increase your chances of walking out of this dungeon al

Let’s not mince words here, the Destiny community was in this exact situation three years ago in the months leading up the release of The Taken King. It was to be sold for a price of $40 and required the installation of all previous DLC, even though House of Wolves did not require the Dark Below. Players at the time were outraged at both the price tag and the need to purchase a DLC that was seemingly only required because Bungie said so. One would think the developer would learn a lesson from this, and they did; it was just the wrong one. We are now approaching the second year of Destiny 2 and Bungie is showing us exactly what they’ve learned: that they can get away with it. Curse of Osiris is almost universally panned as being unworthy of players’ time and money. It isn’t required to play Warmind, offers hardly any mechanical changes and yet Bungie, without offering any explanation, says it will be required for Forsaken all the same. This would be bad enough by itself, but Bungie isn’t content to stop there; no, they’ve decided that they need to milk their players even more than they already are, and they’re going to do it with the "Annual Pass."

_Destiny 2 _ just started its Season of Arrivals on June 9 and is intended to end on September 8. The Prophecy Dungeon is a new three-person dungeon that accompanies the Season of Arrivals and involves entering the realm of the Nine and learning more about the Darkn

Outside of the new story, locations, enemies and Gambit, most of Forsaken’s changes lie in its quality-of-life improvements. From the addition of in-game lore to random rolls for weapons and gear to an in-game accomplishment tracker, Bungie has done an excellent job bringing back popular features they nixed when jumping from Destiny to Destiny 2. The good news is that all players can enjoy these improvements whether or not they own Forsaken.

Getting kills with this weapon creates Remnants which, when collected, increase the poison damage that Thorn deals and refills ammo, allowing players to preserve momentum the more they kill. In PvE, Thorn has an interesting interaction with Warlock's " Necrotic Grip " that allows it to spread its poison damage to nearby targets, giving the weapon some PvE use for those who don't want to run Osteo Stri

Like previous seasons, players receive and seasonal from the Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit vendors. Each of these quests Fighting in Style, City Defender, and Free advertising award a shader and emblem after it's completion. Grand-Master level strikes are the current final step in Vanguard activities and were added to the game with a corresponding seal in the triumphs section. Earn the Conqueror Seal by completing the Insight Terminus, Exodus Crash, The Arms Dealer, Warden of Nothing, Broodhold, Tree of Possibilities, on Grand-Master difficulty. Unfortunately, there were no pinnacle/ritual weapons offered to players for each of these playlists this season, but previous weapons are still attainable through their given quests. "The Lie" quest has also landed, so make sure players complete it to receive Felwinter's shot

That mentality extends to the way Bungie is handling post-launch content. Season of the Undying sees waves of Vex arriving via a storm to take over the Moon. Watching them arrive is breathtaking, and the firefights that ensue are hectic and enjoyable. Then there's the new Vex Offensive activity, which allows players to travel back to the Black Garden to take on the Vex. It's a surprisingly robust seasonal activity and it'll be interesting to see what lasting impact the Vex have on the Moon once the Season is over.

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

Microtransactions were a considerable problem in Destiny 2 with end-game items like Sparrows, ships and shaders tied to the game’s version of Loot Boxes. While not as invasive in Destiny 2: Forsaken, it still feels like large amounts of items are held hostage behind the system. Ships, Sparrows, weapon ornaments and shaders are found in the wild, but many remain tied to Eververse. Considering Destiny 2's costs add upwards of $140 at this point, it's annoying that the microtransactions remain (the abysmal Curse of Osiris and Warmind DLCs are required to play Forsaken).
