This information comes soon after many Destiny fans had been speculating whether or not the game’s PC version would actually launch alongside its console iterations, as Blizzard’s Q&A about the Battle.net exclusivity of the title managed to completely avoid mentioning a release date on personal computers altogether, leading many to surmise a delay on PC would be in order. Now, of course, with Activision having confirmed as much, it makes sense as to why Blizzard had originally shared the PR equivalent of, “No comment....

This aspect of Destiny 2 dramatically changed just a few months ago during Season of the Splicer, just a few months ago, as Ada-1 returned as a dedicated vendor for the game’s new transmog system. This allows players to transform any piece of armor they unlocked into a universal ornament, which essentially acts as a permanent cosmetic that can be added or removed from any item. As such, it became common among Destiny 2 players to use the system to cosplay as their favorite characters from other franchises or create their own incredible looks....

Console players can pre-load Destiny 2: Shadowkeep on Monday, September 30th. Bungie did not specify when exactly on September 30th that players will be able to start pre-loading Shadowkeep; however, the developer did promise that it would occur that day while Destiny 2 is down for a 24-hour maintenance period. Players should follow Bungie Help on Twitter for service updates, which will announce once pre-loading for consoles is available on the day of September 30....

Speaking of The Dawning, the saga of Saint-14 rolls forward this weekend as the legendary Titan hero has finally found his way back to the Tower. Players can now pick up bounties from him as well as turn in the special Lavender Ribbon cookies for the Baked for Speed exotic quest.

Today also marks the return of the fan favorite Destiny PvP mode, Trials of Osiris. To coordinate its long awaited return, Bungie released a new trailer showing off cinematic gameplay as well as teasing many of the exclusive rewards this activity brings back. While Bungie hasn’t outright confirmed any specific rewards, fans are hoping to see a number of guns make their return for those who are able to go flawless and make it into the Lighthouse once more....

The other big change arrived last week with the new Invitations of the Nine questline. Every week, for up to nine weeks, players can pick up a quest item in Xur’s inventory which offers some backstory and lore on the mysterious group known as the Nine, while giving players powerful loot to obtain as well once the task has been completed. Seeing as it’s Friday, here’s where Destiny 2 players can find Xur as well as what the merchant has on offer for the weekend of March 22, 2019....

Since its release in 2017, Destiny 2 has transformed from an FPS title into a full-blown MMO. With each major expansion and update, Bungie introduced features that increase players’ options for building and customizing their Guardians, while slowly balancing previously introduced mechanics. With Destiny 2: Lightfall set to overhaul the game’s buildcrafting, Bungie has announced that Warmind Cells and Warmind Cell mods are approaching a sad, but unsurprising end....

One of the higher profile vaultings coming in this latest update is Destiny 2’s H.E.L.M. location, which is home to a number of activities and quest lines that can lead to legendary gear. However, while items and locations are currently being shifted to make way for The Witch Queen, Bungie has made the decision to move one of these activities to a new location to give players a final chance to complete certain quests....

While Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks all utilize the Solar subclass, their varying builds, which focus on different play styles, bring variants to how Solar works for each Guardian class. Solar 3.0 features new Abilities alongside its inclusion of Aspects and Fragments, ensuring creative ways for Guardians to incinerate their enemies with fiery pageantry. Organized into Super, Melee, Movement, and Grenade Abilities, each type has offensive and defensive perks that help shape the player’s play style and work in conjunction with the strengths of that particular class....

This latest Destiny 2 Easter egg can be found in Distant Shore, the new map introduced as part of the game’s limited-time Crucible event, Iron Banner. Players say that the sphere firmly embedded in the map resembles a Poke Ball. Bungie has used plenty of spheres as Destiny 2 decorative pieces, particularly on the planetoid, Nessus. It’s also not uncommon to see defeated Servitors either, as their spherical bodies and giant, purple eyes make for good set-dressing....

This, however, won’t be the case with Destiny 2’s next reprised Destiny raid, which is set and primed to launch on August 26, a Friday. While Bungie didn’t go into much detail on why exactly this was the case in the company’s weekly TWAB blog post, one of the developers has gone on record to explain the issue via Twitter.

Io, Mars, Titan and Mercury were snapped out of existence Thanos style, a convenient story explanation for Bungie’s need to Vault outdated content, prior to Beyond Light’s launch, but not before their civilian populations were relocated to Earth’s Last City. For contributing to those efforts, Zavala gifted players with a repaired version of the aforementioned firearm, revealing more information about the Hive’s Savathûn, in the process.

Of those theories, the most intriguing thus far has been speculation from fans about where the raid will take place. Because a lot of the information could be potential spoilers, it’s best to stop reading now if you want to go into Destiny 2 unsullied. Now that players know the name of the Destiny 2 raid is Leviathan, the fan base has begun to try and put seemingly disparate pieces together to figure out where the endgame activity will take place....

In response to the loss of these missions, one Destiny 2 player has taken it upon themselves to chronicle the adventure that players have experienced until now. On his YouTube channel Jabonte, the player has released an initial trailer for a series that intends to keep a sort of video log of every mission that is set to be sunset when Beyond Light releases and retools how players experience the game....

The ability to reach the new Season of Opulence power level cap so quickly is due to an odd Destiny 2 glitch connected to the player’s Gambit Infamy rank. Specifically, this Destiny 2 glitch has allowed this player to endlessly reset their Gambit Infamy rank and receive a reward every time they do so. As such, the player has been able to quickly obtain max power level items for every gear slot and promptly reach 750 power level....

A new glitch appears to show what will happen at the end of the season in regards to The Almighty and if it is successful in destroying the Last City. Spoilers, obviously. User SergeantGamerr posted photos to the Destiny 2 subreddit, showing that there is some obvious damage in the Tower, seeming to show that The Almighty does cause some damage to the Tower in its destructive descent toward earth....

In a post discussing how seasons are changing in Destiny 2, franchise director Luke Smith gave a pretty high-level idea of how Destiny 2 is set to change from season to season with activities coming and going per season, the game’s narrative having a forward momentum, having players actions over the course of a season affect its current state, and more. To illustrate what the future of Destiny 2 could look like, Smith looked back at the past year and laid out how Year 2 could have functioned had this new bold vision been in place a year ago....

As the game continues to unravel a potential coup d’etat against the Vanguard, players have been working alongside the House of Light Kell Mithrax in an effort to stop the Vex and their latest plot against the Last City. While Override missions are the big new content this season, Expunge missions are a weekly way to obtain new gear similar to the Exo Challenges introduced within the Beyond Light expansion....

Previously, we detailed the rumors regarding the new story content in Destiny 2’s second DLC, which is reportedly called Heralds of Nezarec. However, the purported leak also offered some info about the DLC’s addition to the Leviathan raid in the form of a new raid lair. While there is no way to confirm if any of the new info is true, the latest data mine claims that the second Destiny 2 raid lair will be called Prison of Nightmares and will be set exclusively in Calus’ Shadow Realm....

This news comes courtesy of Bungie’s Luke Smith, who is the game director of Destiny 2. Speaking in an interview with PC Gamer, Smith was asked about the difficulties in balancing the game unilaterally. There, Smith stated that the game may well not be balanced unilaterally, with the game director explaining that PC and console gamers are “two consumer types with very different needs.” Smith explained that controller users and mouse and keyboard users would have very different requirements, particularly when it came down to matters like weapon response to recoil....
