<br>Since 2017, Destiny 2 has been one of the biggest massively multiplayer online (MMO) games on the market, only becoming more popular with its switch over to a free-to-play model two years later.

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.

Continue forward, completing more puzzles utilizing levers, spores, and energy cores while fighting off Scorn enemies. Eventually, gamers will come to a boss room. The boss is not too difficult but does require some agility to avoid his devastating melee attacks or fire streaks. During the fight, the boss will jump down onto another floor below where the fight begins. This second area causes burn damage.

After the second encounter finishes, the Guardians will remain in this arena for a new challenge. After the team begins the challenge by interacting with the Rally Flag, respawning will once again be disabled. Vex Oracles will begin to spawn, and taking them out in order is the key to completing this challenge. The team will need to communicate clearly in order to complete this encoun


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


Head to the Temple of Crota. The temple entrance is found on the eastern path of the Anchor of Light. Following the pathway, keep descending until a large circular room is reached. Swing right and follow the path to World's Grave. Keep moving forward in a straight direction until the end of the pathway. Head left on the raised pathway.

Continue through the labyrinth until the team reaches the slanted rock. Turn around, and the second box should be in plain sight. The final box can be located just past the exit.

The Gorgon encounter is the next step in the Vault of Glass Raid, and it's a unique obstacle because it requires no combat to complete.

Updated May 20, 2025: Another week has come for Destiny 2 , which means missions, challenges, and rewards have been reset. Many fans are likely counting down the weeks until Destiny 2 's Edge of Fate expansion launches , kicking off a new year of content. In addition to the first expansion, Year of Prophecy will include two major updates and a Star Wars- inspired second expansion called Renega

Lastly, gamers will want High-Impact Reserves for the gun’s final perk. This roll is one of the most difficult to get for the Avalanche, but it is worth it once obtained. The High-Impact Reserves perk makes rounds at the end of the magazine deal more damage, which is crucial in PvP content. Given the low amount of heavy ammo available in the Crucible, players will almost always be at the end of their magazine with the Avalanche. Thus, High-Impact Reserves guarantees some brutal h

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 Avalanche’s second PvP trait should be High-Caliber Rounds. Again, this trait increases the weapon’s range, combining with the SPO-57 Front scope to turn the machine gun into a hard-hitting designated marksman rifle. While this will not make the weapon as useful at long ranges as a sniper rifle, it will make it decent at medium ra


This challenge requires patience and clarity as three oracles appear at first, then four, then five. While it may require trial and error to establish communication and strategy, teams do have time to confirm the order of Oracle spawn. Once the Oracles spawn, there is a gracious window before they have to be defeated. Killing the wrong Oracle will result in a Mark for Negation, with little time to clea


The Dawning continues in **Destiny 2 ** and Guardians are adding holiday bakers to their repertoire. The "Great Destiny Baking Season" is showing players that Bungie wants them to be more than slayers of Taken, Cabal, Fallen, Vex, and Scorn, but also glorified food couriers, at least until January 5, 2021 when the event concludes.

Saint-14 and the Trails of Osiris offer players a high-end PvP activity in exchange for powerful rewards.
