First off, scoring streaks in Destiny 2 will no longer fully reset upon a loss but will instead the streak will be reduced a certain amount of points depending on the playlist. For Valor, which is earned in non-competitive modes, basically just for playing Crucible, a loss will reduce a winning streak by one point. This also applies for Infamy streaks in Gambit. When playing in a playlist where Glory is earned (the competitive ranking system), a loss will reduce the streak by two....

In Destiny lore, the mysterious Warlock was the person behind the curtain of Destiny 1’s Trials of Osiris mode. Osiris was exiled from the Tower and sought knowledge of the Vex. But according to the audio files found, he may very well be finally returning to the Tower, based on this voice line from Lord Shaxx:...

Luckily for Destiny 2, Bungie is planning to do things differently, by balancing PvP and PvE separately and implementing systems that allow the devs to tweak specific weapons not the archetype. At the same time, that doesn’t mean Bungie won’t make a few mistakes along the way, a fact that one longtime fan poked fun at in a series of fake tweets Considering there have been a lot of concerns over Destiny 2 balance following the open beta, players are likely wondering how Bungie plans to address issues that pop up....

Because of the rippling effects of the pandemic on video game studios and development times, Bungie was affected in a way that made the company reschedule the launch for Destiny 2’s The Witch Queen. The expansion was initially meant to launch around a year after its predecessor, Beyond Light, but it was eventually postponed until February of next year, making the current Season the longest Destiny 2 has witnessed. Season of the Lost launched in August and will end with the launch of the upcoming yearly expansion, meaning that its lifespan is double that of regular Seasons, which in turn led Bungie to opt for a sort of Season 15....

Astral Alignment, Phase 1 - Crush the Intruders The first step is the easiest, and players are teleported inside the Blind Well.

The Memory of Omar Agah quest in Destiny 2 revolves around honoring the fallen Hunter from Eris’ fireteam. The Destiny 2 lore entry for the Memory of Omar Agah explains that the Hunter suffered the worst fate while in Crota’s lair, as his light was ripped from him bit by bit.

To honor the Memory of Omar Agah, Eris tasks Destiny 2 Guardians with completing a relatively quick series of tasks that have a slight Hunter twist....

Unlike some past seasonal artifacts, getting the Paradrome Cube is more or less straightforward this time around. Destiny 2 places Guardians directly into the first mission of the season, meaning there’s no chance of missing it. That also means Guardians looking to maximize their XP gains won’t unintentionally miss out on having the artifact first. A good thing, as the new seasonal activity Override has plenty of champions that will absolutely necessitate the use of a few of the early seasonal mods....

As many Destiny 2 fans probably expected, the differences start with increased difficulty. While the regular Menagerie starts with enemies around 700 Power and scales up from there, the Heroic version will start at 750 Power, the current season’s cap, and will increase up to the final boss fight at 770 power level. The other significant change to the Heroic version is that it does not have matchmaking, so players will have to organize a group themselves similar to a raid....

All that is about to change with the release of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep this fall. Destiny franchise director Luke Smith detailed how Bungie is overhauling the buff/debuff system in the game, a system that in its current form Smith called “busted.” Before getting into the nitty-gritty of how the system will work, the overall function is that with the release of Shadowkeep players can only have one buff to their damage at a time while enemies can only have one debuff that weakens them to damage at a time....

Orbs of Power have always been very strong in that they provide a small amount of Super energy when players pick them up, making for a rather fast recharge time when fireteams are properly organized. However, Orbs of Power have also always been very problematic because they were tied to Destiny 2’s Masterwork weapons, which gained the ability to generate Orbs on multikills with all Masterwork weapons at any given time....
