Among the various new swords that the 30th Anniversary Pack brought to the game, players are especially excited about a perk called Eager Edge, which can roll on both Half-Truths and The Other Half. This perk is the reason sword skating is back in Destiny 2, and while some players are upset that it didn’t come to Worldline Zero - one of the best swords to use for rapid movements in the game - Eager Edge is quite a big addition....

It would appear that this latest issue has arrived alongside the recent next-gen update that optimized Destiny 2 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S systems. However, Bungie has announced that a fix is coming to make raiding possible on PS4 again, but it might be some time before players are able to easily partner up with their friends again.

Thankfully, it’s fairly easy to earn these weapons as players simply need to get 25 auto rifle and 25 sidearm kills while playing Iron Banner. Not only that, players no longer need to wait in order to unlock new gear, which was typically restricted until certain steps of the quest were completed. Turning in Iron Banner tokens with Saladin immediately drops pieces of the Season 11 armor as well as enhanced armor mods....

However, even with the influx of new content and continued Season of the Risen rollout each week, Bungie continues to work on the overall experience to ensure it remains smooth. One of the bigger problems as of late has been with Rahool and the Ascendant Alloy material. While it was supposed to unlock each week, a bug prevented players from buying it. Thankfully, a new update this week not only fixed the problem, but allows Destiny 2 players to unlock 2 Ascendant Alloys for the price of one....

While Bungie has remained mum on what’s next in terms of seasonal content to this point, the studio has confirmed that the remaining two subclasses of Arc and Solar will be following in the highly successful footsteps of Void 3.0. Recently, it has come to light that Season 17 will be revamping the Solar subclasses, with Arc to follow sometime after, most likely at the start of Season 18. The news should be welcomed by fans, as the current builds of Solar and Arc feel outdated and restrictive when compared to Void and Stasis....

For many though, the main piece of content this event offers is the Haunted Forest. Like the Revelry event before it, the Haunted Forest is a twisted take on the Infinite Forest from the Curse of Osiris expansion. Fireteams of three have 15 minutes to clear as many branches of the forest as possible to finish bounties and score even more candy. Candy can be redeemed with Eva for mystery grab bags, new masks, and the previously mentioned Werewolf auto rifle....

Destiny and Destiny 2 were always a great way for players to unite and play together, making friends along the way. This aspect was celebrated too back in August, with Bungie sharing several clips of people telling the story behind their love for Destiny 2 and what made it special. Some players met lifelong friends, others found support and someone they could talk to, and some others even found love....

Original story follows: Since The Revelry event ended, Bungie has been fairly quiet as to what’s next for Destiny 2. Earlier today, Bungie released one of its biggest updates in a while which included a few important bug fixes and the long awaited Spectral Blades nerf for Nightstalker Hunters. With only about a month left before the Season of the Drifter gives way to Penumbra and Season of Opulence, fans may have gotten their first look at upcoming new content including another returning exotic item from the first Destiny....

Perhaps the most surprising revelation in Bungie’s blog post is that it now bans about 2,133 players each week. Prior to the launch of Destiny 2’s Season of the Worthy content, the studio was averaging about 656 bans. And overall, the game has seen a 50% rise in cheating since January, but Bungie says that is largely relegated to the “highest skill echelons.” RELATED: Bungie Starts to Ban Destiny 2 Cheaters...

If players look closely during the Destiny 2 ViDOC that details the return of Trials of Osiris and Bungie’s plans for the endgame PvP mode, they can see what appears to be a massive shotgun on the back of a Guardian. The image is somewhat obscured and is in motion, but it looks like the shotgun is the quadruple-barreled Fourth Horseman exotic shotgun from D1. RELATED: What Could Happen in Destiny 2: Season 10...

At E3 2019, some of the lead Destiny developers chatted about the future of Destiny 2 and the company since breaking away from Activision to self-publish the Destiny franchise from this point forward. During that panel, the question came up, and while the developers said the details are still being fully worked out, the current plan is that players will have to buy the game and its content per platform....

Fans of Destiny 2 are notorious for uncovering the game’s secrets before they’re ready for the public eye. That said, all of the information should be taken with a grain of salt, and shouldn’t be viewed as indicative of future content. While the naming Bungie uses internally can be insightful, it is not a direct confirmation of content or story that players may experience down the line.

Bungie describes all three Stasis subclasses in Destiny 2: Beyond Light as being built around controlling the battlefield in unique ways, and for Warlocks, playing as a Shadebinder is all about freezing enemies with an icy Stasis staff. The subclass’s melee attack shoots exploding ice crystals at enemies, leaving anything it hits vulnerable for further attacks, while the Super ability, called Winter’s Wrath, brings the staff out to freeze nearby opponents immediately, finishing off with a brutal shockwave....

Bungie and Activision have come under fire for all manner of Destiny 2 problems since launch, including bugs and glitches, the locking of pre-existing content behind expansions like Curse of Osiris, and the large quantities of items that are gated behind microtransaction paywalls. The backlash has manifested itself in lengthy forum rants, tanked user scores on Metacritic (as of now, the three versions of the game sit at a combined average score of 4....

Specifically, the harassment targeted Kevin Yanes, one of the leading Sandbox and Combat designers working on Destiny 2, and the reasoning behind it was that Yanes denied the return of a certain Destiny Titan Exotic due to its unique mobility aspect essentially being a part of the Warlocks’ identity in the game’s sequel. With the reveal of Arc 3.0, however, Yanes has decided to hit back, and he seems to have a good argument to do so....

No doubt fans will be jealous of those developers currently playing Destiny 2 at home, but the important detail is that the sequel is in a playable state. That’s not to say there were growing concerns about Destiny 2 being delayed, but prior to the official unveil earlier this year there were. In addition to talk of playing Destiny 2, director Luke Smith also shared some details about the forthcoming gameplay reveal on Thursday, May 18th....

Luckily, this does not affect item transfers, which would have made grabbing specific gear from characters or the vault a pain. All Destiny 2 players need to make sure they do is transfer the item to the desired character rather than attempt to transfer AND equip it. Bungie currently doesn’t have a timeline for when item equip may return, but we suspect it could take some time to get a fix live....

These Obelisks will soon have a new purpose with the start of the Empyrean Foundation event on February 4th. Although the event has been on the calendar for two months now, no-one knew what it involved until now. It’s recently been revealed that the event will focus around a community effort to rebuild a “Beacon” alongside Saint-14, though its final purpose is still unknown.

Concerning Malfeasance, players are actively looking for it, because it is a strange situation overall. The hand cannon was practically advertised in the trailer, and the Eververse Store already has ornaments for it, which means it’s not really necessary to hide. However, Callum’s Grave has recently been discovered, so the weapon has to be related to it, according to the lore. A recent data mine also suggested the Malfeasance quest has a boss related to the Gambit mode, meaning that there’s plenty to be done for the weapon....

Over on Twitter, a couple of Destiny 2 players posted pictures of a strange mission that popped up called Worthy. According to one user, the quest mission appears in orbit after completing a forge run. Unfortunately, the mission can’t be activated as it requires the Empyrean Restorer triumph to be completed first. This triumph technically isn’t active yet in game as players need to donate Polarized Fractaline to the Tower Obelisk to help in the Empryrean Restoration effort....
