The Best Destiny Expansions Ranked

Unlike the reissued Moon gear, the Dreaming City gear can only be obtained through quests, hidden challenges, or challenges bound to a timeline or specific items. Most of these challenges can only be completed once per week per character, but in a few instances, there are challenges that don't respawn and are account bound - meaning the challenge progression is shared among all Destiny 2 characters associated with a profile. While most of the Dreaming City gear has already been unsunsetted, the reaming weapons that will be returning


Over the past decade, billions of dollars have been wasted in pursuit of the perfect live service game, with Concord , Skull and Bones , and Marvel's Avengers being just some of the many high-profile flops that have failed to capture the hearts and minds of gamers . However, every once in a while, a developer does manage to get things right, as evidenced by Bungie's Destiny ga

Many consider them to be pioneers of the live service formula, although a big part of their success comes not from these GaaS elements, but rather from their fantastic DLC. The best Destiny expansions help to elevate their respective games, offering quality-of-life improvements and new story content while further fleshing out the series' expansive lore and world-build


Despite its cartoonish aesthetic, Maplestory is a classic free-to-play MMORPG, with lots of history and plenty of complexity for chibi Art style rpg fans to dig into. The game is presented as a side-scrolling platformer, although the game's quests and combat require players to optimize their gear and skills, while also teaming up with friends to accomplish go


The final bounty that can be completed is known as the Purification Ritual or Queen's Bounty . Whenever an activity or bounty is completed in the Dreaming City there is a small chance that one of these bounties will drop. The bounty does not expire and requires players to complete certain tasks while Ascendant. A Tincture of Queensfoil will need to be consumed here as w

Nine Cat Statues are spread across the Dreaming City. Giving one of these statues a "Small Gift" will grant a Dreaming City item before despawning. Much like Corrupted Eggs, these cats are account locked and will not resp


While Prometheus Lens is not critical to this build, and certainly will not provide a tremendous amount of DPS when fighting bosses, it does help keep Blade Barrage ready to clear adds, which is the entire point of this bu

Of course, this wouldn't be a new Destiny 2 expansion without a new Raid and Beyond Light delivers a standout one. Deep Stone Crypt fuses atmosphere, storytelling, puzzles and challenge in an immensely satisfying way. It's the crowning achievement of Beyond Light, even though few players might actually get a chance to enjoy it. After the Raid, there's precious little else to do. As mentioned before, the removal of content has left the remainder of Destiny 2 a shell of its former self. There's less of everything in Destiny 2: Beyond Light, but at least the gameplay is still fantastic. Bungie's gunplay has been spot-on since it first released Halo: Combat Evolved and they've continuously improved it since then. Destiny 2: Beyond Light remains a fun, fluid shooter to play through and will help take your mind off the continuous grind for a bit.


Couple these mods with The Sixth Coyote and stacking Mobility and Hunters will almost never have an unavailable dodge or a Withering Blade cooldown, and grenades recharge swiftly due to abusing the dodge ability. This creates a relatively safe environment when adds can otherwise get out of hand in Deep Stone Crypt, or high-level Empire Hunts and Nightfalls. Weapon choice is less pivotal with this build, and being Charged With Light is also unnecessary, though, it can help in some sticky situati


A build centered around massive boss damage, this is for Hunters who want to pop a Golden Gun precision hit on the boss and then get their super back in relatively short order. When fighting Taniks in Deep Stone Crypt, this build allows the Hunter to send a nasty hit into the boss’s face and get their super back well before the next damage face without having to rely on picking up orbs generated by other Guardi


This build revolves primarily around abusing the Hunter’s dodge ability, particularly with Gambler’s Dodge selected to recharge Withering Blade when dodging near enemies. The two Distribution mods ensure ability cooldowns are reduced, including supers, when dodging near enemies. Moreover, the Absolution mods make grenades recharge all abilities, including sup


The expansion added a few new locations and some story missions, but it felt more like a developer papering over the cracks than a real effort to improve or innovate. Worse still, it did little to enrich the endgame loop, which at the time was sorely needed. What made Curse of Osiris so disappointing though was not so much its meager offering, but that Bungie had seemingly learned nothing from their experiences with the first Destiny g
