Raid boss Challenge Modes were introduced in The Taken King with King’s Fall. Each week, players were tasked with taking down one of the bosses in King’s Fall in a specific, more challenging way. That included no one having the aura more than once on Warpriest, every player holding Golgoroth’s Gaze every damage phase, and taking down Oryx with the 16-bomb method. This will add an extra layer of complexity on top of what is sure to be more mechanics and harder enemies added in Heroic Mode in a few weeks....

While such inclusions seem to keep both the casual and hardcore fans in mind, Bungie is conscious of Destiny’s core gamer base. Therefore, the development team is insistent on making the action-RPG as exclusive and challenging as possible, especially when it comes to the House of Wolves expansion’s 3v3 elimination event known as Trials of Osiris. However, Crucible designer Derek Carroll makes it clear in a recent interview with Playboy that we’ve experienced all of the maps for Trials of Osiris, and that there will be no more between now and the release of The Taken King, making for a very slim selection....

As even more evidence that Bungie will never want to underestimate its community when it comes to Destiny, a group of Guardians have now delivered what might be the final blow to any notion that the Vault of Glass raid will tide hardcore players over until the next batch of DLC and ’endgame’ content. With a group of high-level players and exotic weaponry, the team of six managed to bring down the raid’s final enemy, Atheon, in just 17 seconds....

Xur’s Location This week, Destiny players can find Xur in Tower North, on the balcony next to The Speaker. It’s fitting that the Agent of the Nine would hang out near The Speaker, as it is strongly implied that the character either goes missing or is killed during the opening of Destiny 2. Perhaps Xur wants to spend what little time he has left with The Speaker. To get to Xur, head to the left after spawning in, follow the long hallway that turns to the left, enter the large open space in Tower North, and the exotic vendor should be in the back against the railing....

RELATED: Destiny 2: The Best Auto Rifles For PVP, Ranked Destiny 2 has the same feel as the original game, and many of the characters and story threads have carried over as well. Many items from the original game, whether they be weapons or armor, have found their way into the sequel, but there are still quite a few exceptionsthat need to appear. 9 Ice Breaker Destiny 2 players have obtained quite a few trace rifles over the course of the game’s lifespan, but they’ve also gotten their hands on various sniper rifles....

Posted on YouTube, a fan called GShark posted a video of a fireteam of players beating the Warpriest in the King’s Fall raid in less than five seconds. Take a look at the quick takedown below. GSHark explains the team’s setup and strategy in the video’s info. The classes used were: one Defender Titan with Weapons of Light, Illuminated, and Bastion selected one Sunbreaker Titan with the Melting Point perk selected and the Memory of Felwinter artifact equipped four Gunslingers with the Deadeye perk selected and the Celestial Nighthawk equipped...

Bungie community manager David “DeeJ” Dague revealed to GamesRadar that “Destiny 1 is still a game that will be there for players,” and that the team will continue to support Destiny for some time. While DeeJ didn’t provide a timeline, he did make sure gamers know the team still believes in Destiny 1. DeeJ said: That’s good news considering the strong community that has been built around Destiny. Granted, much of that community will move on to Destiny 2 when it releases in September, but there are many that will want to revisit Destiny and enjoy the various activities available....

There have been other great Exotics introduced this way, like Hawkmoon and Ruinous Effigy, while others were included in other forms of content introduced in a specific Season, like Vex Mythoclast with the Vault of Glass Raid. Destiny 2’s Season of the Lost also hinted at a new Exotic from the very first week of its calendar, one that is both tied to how the story of Mara and Uldren Sov, now Crow, intertwines with the changes to the weapon sandbox and the introduction of Kinetic Stasis guns....

First up, Beyond Light. The game’s next major expansion will drop on 22 September and brings with it something teased way back when the first Destiny launched: the Darkness. That means a few things. First up, a new threat: a Pyramid Ship hovering above Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, the site of most of the new content – as leaked last week. Underneath the ice lies the new six-person Deep Stone Crypt raid, while above it lies a new Fallen Empire led by Kell of Darkness, Eramis....

Weapon Stat Mods The first handful of mods all deal with improving the guns base statistics. Backup Mag increases the magazine size to whatever gun it is equipped on. Freehand Grip increases accuracy and ready speed while firing from the grip. Icarus Grip improves airborne accuracy, which will pair well with the revamped Better Devils. Counterbalance Stock reduces recoil deviation for the weapon, much like the Counterbalance perk from Destiny....

Telesto has been so problematic for Bungie because of how the weapon functions. While all of Destiny 2’s exotic weapons work in interesting ways, Telesto is truly unique. The weapon fires explosive bolts, or spikes, that stick to surfaces, enemies, and sometimes things it shouldn’t be able to stick to. The behavior of each bolt is completely unique within the Destiny 2 sandbox, which means that it can interact with basically everything that’s not coded as Telesto-proof....

In order to start hitting enemies for massive damage as a Hunter, players will need the exotic gauntlet, Liar’s Handshake. Introduced inside of the Season of the Drifter, this gear has the intrinsic perk called Cross Counter, which allows the player to perform an extremely powerful melee counter-punch after getting hit or using an Arc melee ability that also heals. However, as one Destiny 2 subredditor has found, the perk can be manipulated into staying active indefinitely....

The trick is finding five different books with glowing symbols on them scattered around the Lighthouse. They must be activated in the proper order to unlock the chest. Opening the chest will grant three tokens and a Legendary Engram, which was (unknowingly to fans at the time) actually teased yesterday by Destiny 2 game director Christopher Barrett: Read on to find the location of the books and what order in which to activate them:...

Bungie officially revealed Lightfall and its release date back in August, dropping an almost two-minute trailer to showcase some of the new things coming to the expansion. Like most expansions to the game, Lightfall will introduce a myriad of new activities for players to take part in. Additionally, Bungie says new enemies called Tormentors and Cloud Striders will make an appearance. If you’re looking forward to playing Destiny 2: Lightfall, then you’ll be excited to learn that the expansion’s release date isn’t that far off....

Other times, these sorts of interactions are much less game-breaking, but they can still be exploited by Destiny 2 players in order to gain various advantages in the game. One of such glitches has been in the game for a whole Season now, with players being able to skip entirely the mechanics of Expunge: Tartarus, which was used during Festival of the Lost to acquire lots of Spectral Pages and Candy....

Bungie had unveiled that it will be putting a good portion of Destiny 2’s content into the Destiny Content Vault on September 22. This means that players now have a limited time to acquire many unique and coveted rewards, specifically from raids.

To begin, players that are on the hunt for Destiny 2’s Perdition Lost Sector should head to the Cadmus Ridge area of Europa. This area can be found to the northwest of Charon’s Crossing, and fans are advised to hop on their Sparrows to expedite the journey. Then, upon arriving at Cadmus Ridge, players should make their way to its northeast end, paying special attention to the wall of ice that is found there....

The only way the game would be canceled would be if the teams and game officials could not be in place for the game. With the officials already at the Dean Smith Center and just 11 miles separating the two campuses, it seemed likely that the Blue Devils will be able to make their way from Durham to Chapel Hill. However, as conditions in the area deteriorate, that is coming into question....

Turns out, while the company took the “Wizard from the Moon” debacle in stride, they were not interested in making Destiny a funny game. But according to comedian David Cross, Bungie was looking to inject some humor into the grim sci-fi shooter at one point, but the company later scrapped the idea. Speaking with IGN, the Mr. Show and Arrested Development star reveals that Bungie contacted Cross and fellow nerdy comedian Brian Posehn about adding jokes to the Destiny script....
