Bungie also revealed the winner from its Dinosaur versus Monsters debate posed in a previous TWAB post. For the Halloween inspired Festival of the Lost, Bungie showed off concept art for special Monsters and Dinosaur inspired armor and left it up to the community to decide which set would be made available. With all the votes counted, the Dinosaur gear dominated pulling in 81% of the fan vote. Even though Dinosaurs took the victory, Bungie is still interested in the Monster set and indicated they could be added at some point as ornaments....

Speaking of exotics, Bungie appears to be expanding the current pool as players have discovered new audio files and UI elements related to a classic Destiny 1 weapon and location. Both appear to be tied to an upcoming questline at the end of the month involving the murder of Reef Cryptarch Master Ives. At this time it’s unknown if the weapon is unlocked by just completing the quest light the Fighting Lion for the Haunted Forest, or if it’s more of a secret that needs to be discovered similar to the Whisper of the Worm sniper rifle....

Redditor JpDeathBlade mined Bungie’s Eververse plans and parsed the data into informative and easy to read images. Since seven weeks have already gone by in Season 7, the images to follow will be limited to the current week on. This should allow Destiny 2 players to plan ahead regarding their Silver expenditures, or otherwise start optimizing purchases to make Engrams more likely to drop a wanted item.

These changes should make the Spectral Blades a much stronger option when it comes to choosing between the Hunter class’s new supers. Before the Forsaken expansion released, Spectral Blades looked like it could be extremely strong, but once players got their hands on the subclass, they realized it was not as good as it seemed, suffering from poor hit registration, difficulty being able to close the gap to enemies, and a general feeling of weakness among some other powerful supers added to the Destiny 2 sandbox with Forsaken....

Those who played the campaign and PvE content of Destiny 2 will recognize Titan as the ocean moon that hosts a number of Hive and Fallen enemy types. It is the second location players visit in the campaign, where they reunite with Commander Zavala. While Titan is a well-trod location in PvE, Pacifica will be the first PvP arena set on the moon. Pacifica will be one of two maps being added to the game for all platforms with Curse of Osiris on December 5....

Almost a week ago, Bungie first confirmed that there were problems with the EDZ Obelisk. The problem had been ongoing for some time at that point, however. Bungie went into investigative mode to discover the origin of the problem. The problem being that the EDZ Obelisk was entirely noninteractive. At the time, Bungie recommended that players either re-enter the area, return to Orbit, or clear their console’s cache to temporarily fix the problem....

Bungie posted on its forums, communicating with players exactly what the developer is looking to do in the future with regards to Masterworks. Chief among the studio’s plans is a backend system that makes sure players won’t have to wait too long between Masterworks drops: Bungie did not commit to a date as to when some of these features could make their way into Destiny 2, but it is sure to be a balancing act as far as getting the drop rate just right....

Popular picks in the Crucible were gutted, much like Shatterdive, and every melee attack and grenade in Destiny 2 was given a differentiated cooldown and a power check to bring them more in line with Bungie’s vision for Destiny 2. A similar principle was also applied to Supers, with each of them being tied to a specific tier that manages their cooldown. The Warlocks’ Well of Radiance is the Super that regenerates the fastest in the game, and while players were happy with it, there were more changes associated with it that didn’t make the cut in the patch notes....

Destiny 2 is a game popular for gunplay, but it also involves extensive loot tables and ability customization. Part of the appeal for players is developing a unique guardian and then testing their skills in Crucible PvP. However, since the release of the Stasis subclass for each class of Guardian, one ability has become too dominant. RELATED: Destiny 2: 10 Must Try DPS Tips To Maximize Damage The Hunter Stasis power, Shatterdive, has been causing a lot of trouble for victims of the combo in Destiny 2....

The associated teaser (as seen below) states that developer Bungie will reveal the next chapter of Destiny 2, “not Destiny” as pointed out by Redditor JpDeathBlade. This would suggest another Forsaken-sized expansion and/or annual pass may be announced, as opposed to the rumored-to-be-in-development Destiny 3. Another detail of note is the date of the announcement: June 6, 2019. This is just days before E3, where Bungie will be showcasing Destiny 2 already, and 48 hours after the new Crown of Sorrow raid....

The gameplay of Destiny 2 consists of online first-person shooting with multiplayer options and it sprawls many worlds and areas to create a varied experience. The online component of the game has allowed for some impressive scenes in Destiny 2 and with its unique blend of gameplay, the title has managed to cultivate a dedicated audience. A great deal of this audience was excited by a post from the Instagram account of Destiny before it was quickly removed....

It’s not a mystery that Hunters got the short end of the stick in Bungie’s update with the 30th Anniversary Pack launch, and that’s because several things that made them strong were nerfed. Many abilities have had their cooldowns go up and others were reworked to be less oppressive in PvP, which is something that ended up affecting Destiny 2’s PvE sandbox as well. The prime example of this is the increased cooldown on both Marksman’s Dodge and Gambler’s Dodge, which went from 11 seconds to 14 seconds on cooldown for the former and from 11 seconds to 18 for the latter, considering T10 Mobility....

While the benefits of the Content Vault are not apparent, they are allowing Bungie to work on new content for Destiny 2 like the 30th Anniversary Pack and everything coming in Year 5 with The Witch Queen. However, the upcoming expansion needed extra space once more, and this time players will have to let go of the Forsaken campaign and the Tangled Shore, as well as fan-favorite missions like Harbinger and Presage....

There are many pros to the gameplay flow of Destiny 2’s new Void classes and builds, but the main one is that there are plenty of synergies between all the Aspects, Fragments, and a few mods. Ideally, what brings it all together is the new Raid Exotic called Collective Obligation, which drops from Vow of the Disciple. This gun creates a unique playstyle that encourages players to build around all the various Void buffs and debuffs, and this concept may be a glimpse at the future reworks of Arc and Solar subclasses....

To find the Wandering Bone Collector, Destiny 2 players will need to head to the Anchor of Light section of the Moon. Once they spawn in there will be one of two scenarios, either the Bone Collector is already wandering around or it has yet to spawn. RELATED: Destiny 2 Reveals New “Void Gjallarhorn” Wait around for a minute or two and if the kill feed does not mention the Bone Collector, then chances are it is already in the Anchor of Light zone....

Although the initial teaser released earlier this year could have sufficed, Bungie has partnered with The Game Awards to release a new trailer for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. In it, players can see the first mission for the game, as narrated by a live action Guardian and Eris Morn. The trailer recaps the events that lead into players’ first encounter with a Hive Guardian.

However, this season also kicked off a weekly questline called Invitations of the Nine, giving players a chance to learn more about Xur’s mysterious group called the Nine. Each week, players can spend a small number of legendary shards to take part in a weekly quest that’s typically centered around a particular destination and strike found there. Here’s where Destiny 2 players can find Xur, details on what the latest Invitation of the Nine quest entails, as well as what exotic items are on offer for the weekend of April 12, 2019....

Over the past few weeks, Bungie has been revealing new changes and updates coming alongside season 15. This week, the studio shared weapon changes, both to the various types that are found in the game, as well as to a number of exotics as well. The biggest change for many is with the Vex Mythoclast, a weapon that has been brought back from the original game, though for many players, it lacked the power it had originally....

IN addition to sandbox changes and the upcoming Moments of Triumph for 2021, Bungie has also been teasing the Dares of Eternity 6-player activity coming in the Anniversary paid DLC. The dungeon seems to place a focus on the Nine and the mysterious vendor Xur, thoguh eagle eyed fans may have spotted a crossover that many have been hoping for. Examining a recent screenshot may have revealed a Destiny 2 and Halo crossover as weapons like the Covenant Carbine Rifle and Battle Rifle appear to be equipped on a couple of guardians....

This week, Destiny 2 players can find Xur in The Tower. This is only the second time that Xur has appeared in The Tower since Destiny 2’s launch, so consider this a surprise location and one that not many players are familiar with. Specifically, Xur is in the Hangar section of The Tower, behind the Dead Orbit faction leader, Arach Jalal. Head to the left after spawning in, follow the path until you reach the big open area, turn to the left again and head to the very back near the edge overlooking Earth....
