Once again, Oracles will start to appear and will need to be defeated in order of appearance. The team outside the portal will see the order, once again flashed twice, of the Oracles, and will have to relay that information to the team inside the portal. The Oracles spawn inside the portal, and the inside portal team needs to defeat them in the same order that they appear. This may seem repetitive, but if it's not done correctly the team wi


Before the beginning of the Season of the Chosen in _Destiny 2 _ , Bungie had announced in Jan. 2021 that they planned to bring back "sunset" weapons from the Moon. The Season of the Chosen brought back four weapons, namely Heretic, Blasphemer, Apostate, and Premonition. While Premonition and high roll Dreambane armor can only be farmed in the Pit of Heresy dungeon, the other three weapons can be acquired by defeating one of the three bosses of the Altars of Sorrow. In Season of the Splicer, these bosses and their drops

While Destiny 2 remains in desperate need of a new enemy faction, Bungie has at least provided a new element to master. By delving into Darkness, players can harness Stasis's power, which grants them ice-based powers to freeze and shatter enemies. Stasis is a satisfying addition to the Destiny 2 sandbox, giving players new ways to build their character and fireteams. It opens new ways to play PvE and is the best new addition Destiny's had in years. To make Stasis even better, players can continuously unlock new abilities for the element after the campaign, giving players even more ways to modify the experience to their liking.


The Gatehouse entrance is located inside the Hellmouth, slightly north from the entrance of the Hellmouth on the Moon map. Past the first Hive room inside is another room with Hive Knight named Ehrath'Ur, Eternal Blade. Defeat the Knight to obtain the Bound Mana

What has fallen apart is Crucible, Destiny 2's PvP mode. Destiny 2: Beyond Light adds no new maps or game modes. It's disappointing, but that's nothing compared to awful balancing. Bungie has always had problems balancing Crucible, but the addition of Stasis has resulted in a nightmare scenario that throws balance out the window. There's so much Stasis can do to you and precious few ways to fight back. At this time, using any other abilities puts players at a serve disadvantage. It's unfortunate to see Crucible receive so little attention in Beyond Light.

What is interesting lies outside the campaign when Europa properly opens up. The mysterious moon of Jupiter holds many secrets within the Clovis Bray facilities and discovering what the infamous Golden Age scientist was up to leads to genuine fantastic revelations that manage to push the story of Destiny further. All the intrigue and interesting lore bits surrounding Clovis Bray might have ultimately made for a better campaign than what Beyond Light does offer. Outside of its use in the story, Europa functions like any other patrol zone. Players load in, fly their Sparrows around, participate in Public Events, loot some Lost Sectors and complete quests. Europa distinguishes itself from other locales with its random snowstorms, that while impressive the first few times, get old the more you play. The Bray facilities' glossy white internals are unique enough compared to other locations, but wandering around Europa doesn't feel any different from any other location.

Heading into its fourth year, Bungie opted to release a direct sequel to Destiny rather than another expansion to deliver new content and improve on systems and mechanics in the original game . While Destiny 2 had its issues, many of the new mechanics were welcome improvements that likely couldn't have been added via additional expansions. For Year 4 of Destiny 2 , however, Bungie opted to take a different approach. Rather than releasing a Destiny 3, Bungie expands on Destiny 2 with another expansion, Beyond Light. Promising Darkness-themed powers, a new mysterious world to explore and a new Raid, does Destiny 2: Beyond Light keep the experience fresh, or is Destiny 2 just treading water at this point?

Of course, this wouldn't be a new Destiny 2 update 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.
