But never fear: Destiny 1 is still going strong even if Destiny 2 is stealing all of the attention. Yet again, Xur has returned to offer his exotic wares, and we have a full report on where to find the Agent of the Nine, what he has for sale, and whether any items are worth buying. Xur Location First off, players will find Xur in Tower South, in an area commonly referred to as the nightclub....
It’s a good thing too, because Destiny’s first Iron Banner of Year 3 has been easily its most successful yet. Supremacy might not be the perfect mode for such an event (Destiny already has a shotgun problem in PvP to begin with), but the rewards are a perfect way for players to raise their light level. Not to mention, with the improvements made to reward drops at the end of Year 2, Iron Banner is sure to give players more and more gear as they continue to play....
In the mean time, Xur has returned to Destiny for the weekend to offer players a selection of exotic armor and an exotic weapon to purchase. Xur has been a source of endless frustration for many players, but all things considered most likely hope he returns for Destiny 2 next month. Xur Location This week, players can find Xur in The Reef, in his usual hiding spot. Head to the right after spawning into the social space, follow the stairs down, turn to the right, and Xur will be behind the only door....

Here are some of the most important stats and perks to keep an eye out for on sidearms, as well as some of the best Exotic and Legendary options out there: 10 FULL AUTO/BURST Having your sidearm be either Full Auto or at least fire in a burst is going to be one of the most convenient things to have, and is also usually going to keep your time-to-kill as optimal as possible, especially for those playing with a controller....
RELATED: Destiny 2: Beyond Light: Every Newly Added Boss, Ranked By Difficulty A lot of players may see Gambit as nothing more than an “eliminate your opponents often and destroy everything you see” type of game mode. But in reality, Gambit is a much more tactical mode. There are so many things happening at once in a Gambit match and it’s every bit strategic as it is action-packed. You won’t just have to outplay your opponents skill-wise, you’ll also have to out-fox them, thinking on your feet and adapting new strategies on the fly....
RELATED: Destiny 2: Best Season Of The Plunder Weapons, Ranked A few new effects have been introduced this season: Amplified, jolting and blinding. Amplified allows players to move faster and their weapon handling is improved. Jolting is a debuff applied to enemies, which causes them to chain lightning damage to other enemies nearby if they take more damage while jolted. Finally, blinding prevents enemies from firing their weapons, and in PVP, player screens will be whited out....
Not long after the release of the Destiny 2 expansion Beyond Light last year, content creator Karpo Gaming posted a video that guides players through each step of completing the Born in Darkness quest. RELATED: Destiny 2 Developer Says Stasis Nerfs Are Coming The first step is to talk to the Exo Stranger on Europa after completion of the main Destiny 2 storyline, who will give the player the Born in Darkness quest....
RELATED: Destiny 2: Things To Do Before Witch Queen Comes Out So far, not much is known about the Witch Queen’s raid, other than it will take place inside a pyramid ship in Savathun’s throne world, and that it will pit guardians against some type of ancient threat lurking deep within. While story-wise there are many theories floating around from Taken enemies to the Scorn and even a different brood of Hive, the main concern players will have is surviving the raid’s day 1 challenge within the first 24 hours....
The event brings a lot of new content for players to enjoy, while also reiterating past events. Over the years The Dawning has evolved, and this year is quite the spectacle for players new and old to Destiny 2. This year, players can take part in two new quests, unlock new weapons, strategize with snowballs, and look slick doing it all in the new Eververse set. To give players even more incentive, there are a few emblems to earn and plenty of holiday shaders to customize their new loot....
Typically, these Pinnacle weapon quests are designed to last the majority of the season, but for those who want this weapon sooner, there is a way to cheese it. Instead of taking roughly the whole season, players can do this Destiny 2 Wendigo GL3 quest in about four hours with the right team, the right strike, and the right weapons. The first step is to gather a Fireteam of friends who want to cheese the Wendigo GL3, and players will want to make sure they have a FULL fireteam....
In Destiny 1, new challenges went live at the weekly reset and now things have returned to normal for Destiny 2. This means players are free to collect their guaranteed raid drop in Leviathan right now, but they will need to know how to complete the Gauntlet challenge first. How to Complete the Gauntlet Challenge The Gauntlet challenge is fairly straightforward and for some teams won’t require any new strategies....
It’s far from a perfect solution and it doesn’t work every time but, as Reddit user Alphalcon points out, fast travelling to the nearest available point will re-instance your guardian into a new version of the same area. This gives Destiny 2 fans a new chance to spawn into an encounter that does have the required players present, and is sure to help guardians of all levels complete the events with a greater rate of success....
Guardians will want to chase these weapons to add to their accounts either for nostalgia or a chance at one of the new Season of the Chosen weapon perks. The Palindrome is a 140RPM Void energy Hand Cannon, making it a strong option in the current Destiny 2: Beyond Light meta. The Palindrome, as well as the two other reprised Destiny 1 weapons, are straightforward to obtain, requiring Guardians to run the weekly Nightfall: The Ordeal Strike....
First, Guardians will want to complete the full tier 3 cycle, defeating all of the ogres and picking up an item called an unstable charge. Once this item is obtained, drop back down into the well, and it’ll automatically trigger a heroic event or tier 4 blind well event. While this seems simple enough, the Destiny 2 bosses that spawn as a result are no laughing matter. Once the event is live, two bosses will spawn on opposite sides of the room....
For example, The Witch Queen expansion has similar themes as The Taken King, both stemming from the lore surrounding the birth of the Hive as a race in Destiny 2’s universe. The Hive were, in the beginning, a race called the Krill that lived on a gas giant planet called Fundament, which also hosted many other powerful races. The Krill had a naturally short lifespan, but sisters Aurash, Sathona, and Xi Ro wanted to live meaningful lives, so they turned to the Deep and the Worm Gods to make a pact that would make them virtually immortal....
It’s no secret that Destiny 2 is incredibly popular, but especially with content like Vanilla and Forsaken missing, it can be very confusing to step into now. Combine this with some of the game’s grind intensive mechanics and heavy use of hyper-specific sci-fi terminology, and it’s understandable why Destiny 2 may not exactly be welcoming to newcomers. Bungie is dedicated to changing that. RELATED: Destiny 2 Fans Are Comparing Lightfall Logo to Lightyear Movie...
For the most part, Outbreak Perfected functions similar to Outbreak Prime, sending out SIVA nanites that do extra damage to the target, but the D2 version also increases damage the longer players fire at a SIVA “infected” target. In other words, Outbreak Perfected seems like a good candidate for sustained boss DPS and so the Destiny 2 community did a little testing. In the video below, Destiny 2 players can see how Outbreak Perfected performs against Insurrection Prime, the mech boss for the Scourge of the Past raid....
MORE: Gary Payton calls current NBA ‘soft’ | Delonte West has seen better days It was an impressive showing for the Cavaliers, who came in without Iman Shumpert due to a shoulder injury, and had Kyrie Irving play just nine minutes due to flu-like symptoms. LeBron James (25 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds) and Kevin Love (29 points, 11 rebounds) would pick up the slack. On the other end of the spectrum, the Thunder have now dropped two straight, this one following Friday’s 101-98 loss to the Indiana Pacers....
“It really is the same thing, teams call about him but the Celtics want him and he wants to be the leader of that team,” one source said. “It has always been his intention to establish himself in that role, to be part of the rebuilding and to stay in Boston for a long time. Nothing has changed.” Rondo, coming off of ACL surgery last January, has yet to get up to speed, averaging 9....
