However as public health officials warn that the outbreak is still yet to peak, there have been some positive things to report. These include backing by Republicans and Democrats for a stimulus package worth more than $2 trillion and the fact that in a bid to defeat the virus, pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical researchers have been galvanized into action. From $1,200 checks to a strong response from state governors, here are what some might consider the plus sides of the U....

Interestingly enough, Destiny’s developers are well aware of the fact that the game’s community of would-be Guardians have been constantly left in the lurch wanting more materials. As a matter of fact, the creative director for the title’s upcoming Rise of Iron expansion, Chris Barrett, recently spoke to the gaming outlet Eurogamer on the matter, stating that he and Bungie’s team of developers are currently in the process of trying to build Destiny’s content at a much faster rate....

For Destiny: The Taken King, however, Bungie has learned the error of their ways, and they have done away with the light-based leveling system. Now players can go from level 0 to level 40 (the new cap for Taken King) purely by playing the game, as they would any other RPG experience. Even so, Bungie was seemingly not willing to let go of the Light concept, and have instead shifted its function to a measure of a player’s combat readiness....

However, one big thing that’s changed in the game are weather effects, specifically on Europa. Destiny 2 has never had any kind of gameplay system that takes into account weather and how it can mess with gameplay, but Beyond Light’s Europa now has constantly shifting snow storms that have varying degrees of severity. It’s a relatively simple feature compared to other games that have substantial dynamic weather effects in gameplay, like Forza....

RELATED: Destiny 2: The Best Auto Rifles For PvP, Ranked One type of weaponry that’s often forgotten among players is trace rifles. These weapons are so rare that all of them are in fact Exotic-tier weapons, found through various quests or through random Exotic engram drops. Despite being a bit niche, they are grossly underrated in Destiny 2, and some of them have surprising potential. Updated on September 4, 2022, by Anastasia Maillot: With the official Lightfall expansion revealed, many new players have flocked over to Destiny 2 as of season 18, to enjoy a pirate-themed seasonal story....

With Season 14’s launch, fans will see these large and small changes throughout the game. For those that have become acquainted with the HELM, it will be seeing an expansion in the new season. As the continued base of operations, it will have an addition that will focus on the growing relationship with Mithrax, Kell of the House of Light.

Earlier today, players began reporting a bug where Heroic Strike Playlist completions were not counting towards the weekly milestone (requires 5 completions) or the new Sleeper Simulant pursuit. For this pursuit, players need to complete strikes using one of the new Warmind weapons, however many noted no progress on the pursuit tracking page. According to Bungie, there are several ways to ensure that players get progress for their Heroic Strike Playlist completions....

The key components to the forge activity in Destiny 2 are the blue colored enemies, the radiant battery, and the forge itself. To complete the first two rounds, the fireteam must defeat the blue enemies, grab the batteries they drop, and then throw 20 of them at the forge. However, what some might not realize is that throwing batteries has no correlation to the timer in the forge. It’s actually the blue enemies that will add time and allow the team to complete the activity....

RELATED: Destiny 2: Best Artifact Mods For Season 16 Updated on March 5, 2022, by Anastasia Maillot: The Season of the Risen has completely changed the way Orbs of Power work in Destiny 2. This has impacted a number of builds across the board, with Charged of Light builds becoming less important in PVE, and Elemental Wells taking over instead. As such, players are likely to see Orbs of Power have a less prominent role in the PVE meta in particular, though some bounties and activities will still require players to create Orbs of Power....

Destiny 2 players will find the hovering drones at the start of round two of the forge. One drone will spawn at each of the two floating islands to the left and right of the Izanami Forge. These small drones are the same ones that can be found around Forge Saboteurs during patrol. The drones will be hovering around a metallic spire on each of the islands and will need to be shot down to gain the Maximum Temper buff....

To get their hands on the new Void grenades in Destiny 2, players will need to head to the Tower’s Bazaar and speak with Ikora Rey. How to Unlock All Void Grenades The process for unlocking Void grenades is the same for each subclass....

Endless Vale is a distinctly otherworldly location, filled with environmental details that call to mind the robotic hordes of the Vex. It’s situated on Nessus, one of the new explorable worlds that Bungie has previously announced would be accessible at launch in Destiny 2. The Vex have terraformed Nessus and made it into one of their machine worlds, and their influence can be seen throughout. Bright red foliage contrasts with turquoise skies, making for some truly alien vistas....

So far, Proving Ground has been praised by the Destiny 2 community and formed a key part of this week’s Season of the Chosen narrative finale. Any players that are yet to run the Proving Grounds Strike should make sure they are caught up on this season’s story and begin working through the Challenger’s Proving VII quest, which involves completing Proving Ground and has a nice cutscene at the end....

As expected, Rasputin is going to be playing a major role within the PvE portions of Destiny 2’s tenth season. Season of Dawn’s Sundial activity proved to be a success in stopping the Red Legion from taking control of time to undo the events of the Red War. However, one of the Psion Flayers managed to escape and reactivated the Cabal ship known as the Almighty to set it on a collision course with the Last City....

This trend continued with Darkness Rifts and Parasite with the launch of Witch Queen in February 2022. In Season of the Seraph, Destiny 2 players have been finding Security Drones all over the place, and they can be destroyed with Revision Zero. Here is where players can find the Security Drones.

Currently, in Destiny 2, players at the high-end of the Power curve will frequently see damage values that cap out at 999,999 when they attack an enemy. Smith attributes this to the fact that the team did not build the game’s Power vs damage system to support the level of growth and longevity that Destiny 2 has enjoyed. Smith said that with the upgrades in Shadowkeep, the curve sharpens so dramatically it goes vertical....

Regardless, she is making her Olympic return and going to Rio. MORE: Breaking down the complicated sport of gymnastics Douglas lost her balance Friday at San Jose’s SAP Center during a full turn and scored a 13.700. It wasn’t the turn that caused her trouble Sunday night, though. She nailed that. Even before she attempted it, Nastia Liukin, who was commentating with NBC, said, “Watch this skill right here. Very difficult....

A new skeleton key system will be included with the expansion that will help players who are struggling to get the loot they want. Every time a player completes a Nightfall or participates in a strike playlist, they have a chance to receive a skeleton key. It is noted that the key will not drop in strikes that are selected individually. Guardians can carry up to five keys and they can be used to open chests at the end of any strike, which will be available after its completion....

So, with a better idea as to Bungie’s roadmap some Destiny players feel a little bit rejuvenated, to say the least. Granted, that doesn’t mean that much has changed within Destiny at the moment - although the Crimson Doubles event is going on right now - but it does mean that things will improve in the coming months. Speaking of improving in the coming months, Bungie also promised a new Spring update that will include new gear and light level cap for players to chase after....

In fact, Destiny 2 players could easily farm Spectral Pages and Candy by completing this week’s Nightfall, the Expunge: Tartarus mission, and Wrathborn Hunts. The nerf was received poorly by the community, and those players who had already taken advantage of these farming methods ended up completing their Page collection much faster than anyone else. As such, Bungie has the onus of having to tweak many items and abilities with the December patch, which could end up making some players unhappy with the outcome....
