The collection includes the base vanilla version of Destiny along with all previously released updates and expansions including The Dark Below, House of Wolves, The Taken King, and Rise of Iron. In addition, players will have access to a character boost that automatically takes one character to the maximum level of 40. While this route can be used to catch up to friends or access end game content, keep in mind that character subclasses don’t level with the character, so some grinding for XP will still need to be done in order to access class specific perks and abilities.
The time to try out Destiny has arguably never been better as not only has the game been updated countless times, helping to fix many of the original pain points, but the game world is currently in the middle of a holiday event known as The Dawning. Introduced in update 2.5, the event reintroduces the popular competitive racing event known as Sparrow Racing League along with specific gear tied to the mode.
Strike Scoring is another big piece of the update and adds a visual score counter for players participating in various strike playlists like the Nightfall or SIVA Crisis. Points are earned in a similar way to other modes like Prison of Elders or the Crucible, where performing certain actions like getting a headshot or taking out an elite are rewarded with a specific point total. At the end of each strike a score is given and placed into Gold, Silver, or Bronze levels.
With even more content planned in the coming months and a sequel rumored to be arriving later in 2017, it’s a good a time as any to jump into the series.
