Review: Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

With Season 10 winding down, players can obtain the remaining tiers in the season pass by purchasing them with silver. If players are more than halfway through or encroaching upon the end, throwing away a couple of silver can finish up the pass quickly and obtain the remaining rewards without any more grinding for fast EXP. The latter half of the season pass includes ornaments for both the Exotic weapon Tommy's Matchbook as well as the Seventh Seraph armor sets, shotgun, and smg. Exotic engrams also drop during the latter half of the pass, so the chance to earn the rest of the current season's exotics are pretty high with those engr

After speaking with Asher Mir, players will need to complete a weekly bounty for him as well. After completing it and speaking with the Gensym Scribe, players will need to speak with Zavala at the Tower. The player will be able to earn a Militia’s Birthright grenade launcher from Zavala.

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 Survival tips 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.

Destiny 2: Forsaken takes place sometime after the events of the base game. You and Cayde-6 fly to the Prison of Elders to help an old friend, Petra Venj, put down a prison riot, but the trio quickly learns that the riot was orchestrated to cover up the breakout of eight Scorn barons. Rescued by the long-missing Prince Uldren Sov, the nine successfully escape the prison, but not before killing Cayde-6. Fleeing into the Reef, you pursue them to exact your revenge.

Ever since its release in October of 2017, Activision's Destiny 2 has become one of the most popular video games on the Xbox and PS4 consoles. In 2019, the game's popularity skyrocketed when it became free-to-play online via Stadia and other cloud-based applications. The sequel to the 2014 game Destiny allows players to assume roles as Guardians, warriors protecting Earth's last remaining safe city from a horde of malefic ali

The Marathon Stolen Art Scandal keeps getting Worse...New expansion means new story, new story means new area and new area means new NPCs to give out fun stuff. Upon the initial Prison Break and Cayde’s death, Guardians will immediately make their way to The Tangled Shore in tracking down the escapees. The leader of this tangled web is a wonderful Fallen NPC named Spider. Spider helps in getting the ball rolling in tracking down the big-bads and seeking vengeance upon Uldren. He also is extremely helpful in getting one’s Light Level up the easy way. Sure, he sells the resources needed to now infuse gear into other gear, but honestly that will cost some serious glimmer. If not wanting to farm glimmer while wasting time, instead start chipping away at those bounties he has available. This is an easy first step in getting solid legendary gear that won’t break the bank or ones will. This will see Guardians returning to areas familiar such as the EDZ while heading into Lost Sectors to hunt those who’ve broken out of Prison. These are not the main Wardens in the main quest but regular high-level enemies that upon killing will complete a bounty for good gear. The Bounties stick around for a week making it a solid initial jumping off point.

Starting on Io, speak to Asher Mir again. He will need some tasks completed before he’s willing to leave the planet. The player will need to complete his four quests: Observer Effect, Into the Pyramidion, Double Blind, and Fleischman-Aschheim Axiom. They can speak with him to turn in the quests when they’re done. Players will receive the Silicon Neuroma Sniper Rifle.

Trials of Osiris has returned to Destiny 2 this season, albeit with some mixed reviews, but none the less rewards players with triumphs and the Flawless seal for a variety of completions. Going flawless awards players with Trials specific weapons as well, so players should win frequently in order to add them to their arsenals. While most of these triumphs for the Flawless and Conqueror seals are labeled "available only during the season of the worthy", these seals will not disappear and might merely require different Triumphs to complete them in further seasons ah
