Destiny 2 (0)

Overview

Destiny 2 is a sci-fi open-world first-person shooter developed by (in conjunction with and ) and published by for the and on September 6, 2017. It was later released for the on October 24, 2017 as the first third-party title for service.

It is the sequel to the 2014 game and is set one year after the events of the Rise of Iron expansion. The Cabal Red Legion, commanded by Dominus Ghaul, have invaded the Last City in an attack that stripped the Guardians of their powers. As one of the few Guardians remaining, the player must now find a new way to acquire their powers, reform the Vanguard, and take back the Last City.

The game received some periods, one for console (from July 18, 2017 to July 25, 2017) and one for PC (from August 28, 2017 to August 31, 2017). Those who have pre-ordered received exclusive early access to the beta.

Classes

The three main of Guardians return from the original Destiny. However, their upgrade and sub-class systems have changed significantly. Instead of a sub-class with eight tiers of modifiers, players instead start with an upgrade for the Movement Ability, Type, and new Class Ability (with most options locked with an "upgrade point" system and/or level lock) and can use upgrade points to specialize in one of two sets of abilities (each providing different series of buffs and unique Melee Abilities). Unlike the original Destiny, there are no modifiers for the player's main stats (Mobility, Resilience, and Recovery) and no separate modifier for the .

The game's prologue has players start with either the Gunslinger, Striker, or Voidwalker sub-class. Once the player's Guardian "loses their Light", they lose their class-specific abilities (including mid-air movement and the ability to throw grenades) until a certain point in the story (which gives them the Arcstrider, Sentinel, or Dawnblade sub-class). By playing through the game, players can unlock additional sub-classes through special quests that can only be reached at certain player levels.

Character inventories and progression are not carried over from the original Destiny, although character appearances can be transferred if they reached level 20 and completed the Black Garden mission.

Hunter

The most agile class of the three, Hunters are former scavengers and can be recognized by their hooded capes and light, fitted armor.

Their unique ability is the Dodge, which allows them to quickly evade attacks in a daring roll or dash maneuver. Players can choose from either Marksman Dodge (which also automatically reloads the player's equipped weapon) or Gambler's Dodge (which can also generate Melee Attack energy if done in close proximity to an enemy).

Their movement options involve . These include High Jump (which upgrades the height of the second jump), Strafe Jump (which offers better directional control of the second jump), and Triple Jump (which adds a third mid-air jump).

Subclasses

• Arcstrider (Arc) - Their Arc Staff super ability conjures a of pure electrical energy, allowing them to be an agile melee powerhouse.

Their unique class ability is the Barricade, which allows them to form a temporary barrier of light that negates weapons. Players can choose from either Towering Barricades (tall barriers that offers better protection) or Rally Barricades (short barriers that can be peeked over by aiming down-the-sight, also instantly reloading the equipped weapon of allies behind it).

Their movement options involve the mid-air "Lift", which propels the Titan to the air and use jump-jets to hover down. These include High Lift (which upgrades the overall Lift height), Strafe Lift (which offers better directional control of the Lift), and Catapult Lift (which provides a quick Lift propulsion).

Subclasses

• Sentinel (Void) - Their Sentinel Shield super ability conjures a wielded shield of void energy that can negate enemy attacks, be used to , and be thrown at enemies as a boomerang.

Warlock

The most arcane class of the three, Warlocks studied the Light of the Traveler through scholarly means and can be recognized by their robes, rounded helmets, and "bonds" (a special type of armband).

Their unique ability is the Rift, which allows them to conjure a temporary well of Light that continually buffs allies inside it. Players can choose from either Healing Rift (which them) or Empowering Rift (which increases their attack power).

Their movement options involve gliding in the air. These include Controlled Glide (which offers better directional control of the glide), Focused Burst (which provides an intial speed burst on the glide), and Balanced Glide (which provides a bonus to both speed and control of the glide). The Voidwalker sub-class is unique as it replaces the Focused Burst with Blink (allowing a quick effect).

Subclasses

Their Melee Ability has extended range and either to an additional target (Conduction) or recharges the user's abilities on striking an enemy (Elements).

Weapons

Each player can equip three weapons on their loadout: two Primary weapons and one Power weapon. Unlike the original Destiny, where the two Primary weapon slots are based on the weapon type, Destiny 2 splits up the Primary weapon slots based on type: Kinetic (non-elemental, replenished with white boxes) and Energy (either Arc, Solar, or Void, all replenished with green boxes). Kinetic weapons work best against unshielded enemies while energy weapons work best against shields of the same elemental type. Power weapons are always elemental and deal heavy damage at the cost of limited ammunition (replenished with purple boxes).

Like the original Destiny, weapons come in multiple rarities (including grey Basics, green Commons, blue Rares, purple Legendaries, and golden Exotics). Rarer weapons include additional perks and bonuses, including the ability to upgrade its level by "infusing" other weapons of that type. Unlike the original Destiny, perks are tied to the weapon and are not randomly generated (though some perks have options, such as the and magazine type).

New to the series is the ability to apply weapon mods (to change the elemental type of Energy weapons) and the ability to use Shaders to customize the weapon's appearance. Exotic weapons are unique in that they have a mandatory line of perks (including unique perks) and can only be customized using rare Ornaments.

Exotic (Gold):

• Riskrunner (Energy) - Gains a temporary overcharge (which can be prolonged by killing enemies) known as the "Arc Conductor" when the player receives Arc damage. The Arc Conductor improves player resistance to further Arc damage, improves the weapon's overall stats, and grants a random chance for its shots to chain to other enemies and return ammunition.

Other Weapons

Some Exotic weapons have unique weapon types:

• Coldheart (Energy) - Trace Rifle that fires a continuous beam of energy. Its laser does exponentially more damage the longer it remains on a target. Infuses with Auto Rifles. Timed-exclusive to those who pre-ordered the game.

• Fighting Lion (Energy) - Single-shot Grenade Launcher that fires frag grenades. Direct hits deal more damage to shielded enemies. Multi-kills against enemies damaged by the Fighting Lion automatically reloads it. Infuses with Grenade Launchers.

Power

All Power type weapons have a limited ammunition pool. On modes, players start each life with no Power ammo and can only find ammo time-locked in random locations (always shown in the HUD). The kill feed also displays when an ammo is picked up, by who, and with what Power weapon type.

The Crucible

Like the original Destiny, multiplayer takes place in-universe in the Crucible. Unlike Destiny, all Crucible games are simplified and played in two team of four players. By completing Crucible matches, players can earn items and Crucible Tokens, which can be redeemed for special Crucible Engrams.

Playlists

Unless otherwise specified, games are played in 4v4 and level advantages are disabled.

Common

• Quickplay - Low-intensity playlist with shorter matchmaking times. Uses the Clash, Supremacy, and Control modes.

• Competitive - High-intensity playlist with longer matchmaking times. Uses the Survival and Countdown modes.

Event

• Trials of the Nine - Weekly endgame event that is unlocked after the player's character reaches Power level 260 and completes the Call to Arms milestone at least once. From Friday to Tuesday, players participate in a series of matches on that rotation's map and gametype choice. Unlike normal playlists, players must form their full fireteam before entering matchmaking and cannot modify their chosen loadout. Once the player's character reaches either 7 wins or 3 losses, that character can no longer participate in the event for that week. Depending on the amount of wins, the player can enter parts of an exclusive location (The Third Spire) to earn unique Trials gear and Trials Engrams (earned by obtaining Trials Tokens). Each match's introduction is extended and shows the loadout of all players individually (along with their chosen emote). Introduced on September 13, 2017.

• Iron Banner - Seasonal endgame event where all matches use the rotation's gametype choice. Players also earn Iron Banner Tokens for unique Iron Banner gear. Introduced on October 10, 2017.

Game Modes

• Clash - Standard . Teams earn points for eliminating enemy combatants.

• Supremacy - Similar to Clash. However, killed players drop colored "crests" (blue for teammates, red for enemies) that must be picked up to score points. Picking up a teammate's crest denies the opportunity for the enemy team to score with it.

• Survival - Similar to Clash. However, games are played in rounds and teams only have a limited amount of lives. Teams win rounds by depleting the enemy team of their life count and then eliminating them. If the round timer is depleted, the team with the most lives remaining wins the round.

• Control - Similar to Clash. However, teams earn bonus points per kill for how many they claim. Each map has three control points, and each team starts with one control point controlled. Teams control the points by standing in that point's capture zone for an amount of time.

• Countdown - Round-based asymmetrical where the Attacking
