If any gun in this list is going to compete with The Summoner with regard to perks, it's Rufus's Fury. This weapon has some of the best elemental synergy with Strand, and one look at its perk pool is enough to see why. Its first column alone can run Rewind Rounds for more shots before reloading, Demolitionist for more grenade energy, and Reconstruction for auto-loading up to twice the magazine s

No matter if playing a Titan, Hunter or Warlock, each subclass now comes with an additional Attunement within it adding some spectacular new powers. Take the Warlocks Dawnblade which now has Attunement of Grace allowing for a super that slams a flaming sword into the ground creating a super rift that does AoE damage, is twice as large as a regular rift and grants both healing with empowering capabilities at the same time. It’s the ultimate team work class. Get to known the new Attunements because they are more than fun -- they’re worth it. Getting these new Attunements isn’t easy, though, as Guardians will have to collect Visions of Light an item that looks like a glowing blue feather that only drops from powerful enemies. After enough have been collected, a quest will appear guiding the Guardian forward. The entire Attunement doesn’t unlock right away either, Forsaken wants the player to feel like they’ve earned being more powerful. Unlocking all the sub-classes won’t be done in a day and that’s a good thing.

In 3v3 however, Convergence is exciting. The two main routes to the mid-area and the waterfall heavy ammo spot add a bit of excitement to Trials, with the cliffside favoring snipers and the waterfall side favorite close and mid-range gameplay. That battle for control in mid is always a thrilling experience with fewer players aro

"Armor 2.0" is perhaps the biggest foundational update that Destiny 2 has seen since Forsaken, as it both reintroduced the old stats from Destiny 1 and gave players a means to craft their own character builds via mods and randomly-rolled stats. Following this, Season of the Worthy hosted the return of every Crucible fanatic’s favorite mode: Trials of Osiris. There are still balancing issues and such to iron out of course, but at this moment it’s probably safe to say that Destiny 2 has finally surpassed its predecessor in just about every meaningful way. It’s still a different game of course, but that difference is no longer a bad thing.

Additionally, this weapon can add-clear even while focusing on a single target. While weapons that have Incandescent or Destabilising Rounds require you to kill multiple enemies to spread the debuff, this weapon is closer to something like Voltshot, which allows you to focus on one enemy, and let the add-clearing simply chain to the enemies around them. It is hard to put into words just how lethal this gun is, and with its perk Eye's Up, Guardian that increases damage from orbs, Siphon mods put this gun into a whole other ballp

Critical Anomaly arguably brings more utility than any sniper rifle before it. Not only is this a great weapon for dealing damage — with just about every boss damage perk one could want — but it is also the first of Destiny 2’s Sniper Rifles to roll with Chill Clip. This allows players to stun Overload Champions in a single shot by applying Slow to them, and stun Unstoppable Champions in at least two shots of the sniper by applying Freeze, which will stun them and deal outgoing damage when Shattered by any other wea

For damage, Precision Instrument bumps the damage up to 25% with enough hits. The gun isn't by any means a must-have, but high-end players will want one of these around for when Void Surge is active, where it really pushes past the competit

Javelin-4 is definitely among the favorites of Destiny 2 players. This map has a bit of everything like Altar of Flame, with roughly three different locations through which players can push depending on their play style. The indoor area has a ton of cover and the middle zone is the perfect spot for both close to long-range may

Those hoping that the Bungie-Activision split would result in decreased monetization are in for a rude awakening. Destiny 2 pushed things too far, but Forsaken managed to make things a bit fairer. With the release of New Light and Shadowkeep , however, monetization in Destiny 2 Missions 2 has been taken to a new, confusing level.

This weapon also has the rare trait of coming in both Kinetic or Strand depending on whether its catalyst is equipped, meaning it can be used in Prismatic to gain Transcendence energy for both light and dark elements simultaneously, or on Strand to create more Tang

It’s new expansion time with Bungie rolling out Destiny 2: Forsaken this week and with it comes all sorts of changes that might as well be an entirely new game...OK maybe not entirely. Forsaken does change quite a bit, though, and if freshly coming back or starting up these little list of helpful tips should set any Guardian on the right path to taking it easy while enjoying the most of Forsaken; this is not an end all be all just some things noticed in the initial first few hours that will make getting through The Reef and the rest of the galaxy easier when taking down the big bad Uldren.
