Additionally, completed Override missions awards Umbral Engrams and Decrypted Data, the materials needed in order to focus the different armory engrams mentioned for each weapon.

Each of the aforementioned weapons has the potential to drop with exceptionally great perks for both PvP and PvE in Destiny 2. Unlike the world weapon drops, these weapons are only available through Override activities in rewards. Luckily, there are a number of ways to receive each Override weapon individually, increasing the chances of finding a great roll. While Season 15 is set to begin on Aug. 24, these weapons will still be available to unlock until at least the end of next season. Be sure to head to the Destiny 2 H.E.L.M. to cash in on the engram types mentioned later


One of these builds revolves around boss damage while the other two are more for add killing and control. While there are other Hunter builds that are viable, these three have proven to make a Hunter’s life easier in most PvE situations. From raiding to farming Wrathborn kills with the Cryptolith Lure, Hunters looking to tackle Beyond Light’s newest content cannot go wrong with the following bui


Chroma Rush is a Kinetic Auto Rifle with a Rapid-Fire Frame in Destiny 2 . This intrinsic perk allows for increased ammo reserves, and a slightly faster reload when the magazine is empty. It's a great PvE weapon with many perks to choose from, but it can be used effectively in PvP as well. Like all Override weapons, Chroma Rush can be randomly acquired from an engram after increasing the Splicer Servitor rank. Additionally, Chroma Rush can be acquired through focused engrams with the Splicer Armory (which contains all six weapons) or Splicer's Captain Armory (which only contains Chroma Rush and Ignition Code). The best perks for Chroma Rush

Beyond Light's story ends up somewhat superfluous, with the campaign falling into familiar Destiny storytelling problems. Eramis could have been an interesting villain had the campaign built more empathy towards her. In the end, she's just another generic, mustache-twirling Destiny villain. Beyond Light's campaign boils down to defeating her lieutenants and defeating her, similar to what we already did in Forsaken , except a lot fewer lieutenants and personality. Less interesting describes other elements of the story. After a six-year absence, the Exo-Stranger finally returns, but anything interesting we learn about her lies outside the main campaign. Drifter and Eris Morn are also along for the ride, but ultimately, their presence is negligible. Rather than being active members in the campaign, they're mostly used as set decoration you can interact with every now and again. It also doesn't help just how short the story is, lasting 5-6 hours depending on how fast you can get quality gear. The quest to destroy Eramis doesn't do much to get players invested, but it also doesn't overstay its welcome. It also helps that Bungie learned from Shadowkeep's campaign by cutting out the grinding missions, instead focusing more on narrative missions. It makes for a more entertaining romp than Shadowkeep.

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 vehicle combat 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?


Before diving into the specifics, it's important to know that every completion of Override will award either an Override Weapon or a piece of Season of the Splicer armor at random. While not entirely effective for getting the desired roll on a specific weapon, it does grant the opportunity for a Powerful Weapon that can be used to increase the Light Level of whichever weapon is desired. For example, getting a high-level Chroma Rush with bad perks is still worth holding onto as it can be used to upgrade a lower leveled one with great pe


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
