In the stream following the reveal of Forsaken, Bungie’s representatives took some time to do fans a "favor" and better explain what exactly will be included in the Annual Pass. Put simply, it will consist of new challenges, new gear, new lore, new challenges and new events. It all sounds good doesn’t it; as if they’ve finally found a way to keep new content coming outside the major expansions? Except that just about all of this is content that, even as recently as this past April, was all offered free of charge. To some this change might not seem like a big deal, their likely reasoning being that Bungie shouldn’t have to work for free. That’s true. They shouldn’t and they never have been. They’ve always been paid for it through the microtransactions offered through the Eververse cash shop. What’s more, acquiring funding for these "free" updates was and is the entire justification for having the Eververse in the first place .

There’s no beating around the bush that Destiny 2 was a disaster. Bungie has owned up to their mistakes and the result is Destiny 2: Forsaken. While it’s not cool that it’s taken $140 to get here (and more if you splurge on microtransactions), Destiny 2: Forsaken presents Destiny 2 with its much-needed reset. The campaign is compelling enough thanks to its excellent boss design, though Uldren lacks the history to be a strong antagonist. The new locales are a joy to explore and provide a nice change in pace compared to the vanilla worlds. Gambit is an exciting new mode, but, like the Blind Well, is heavily dependent on what kind of teammates you have. Destiny 2 needed something to save it and Forsaken bought it a new lease on life.

Destiny 2 : Season of the Worthy has been dubbed one of the worst seasons by some avid Destiny 2 players while others say it's the calm before the storm; as the story and gameplay is severely lacking, void of depth and meaningful progression. A lot of questions from previous Seasons have been left unanswered such as the state of Eris' Morn mind and allegiance, and the current standing of Uldren Sov, enemy turned Guardian. Players have yet to see the outcome of the Guardians and Vanguards alliance with Rasputin, as well as the resulting aftermath in taking on the Almighty and destroying it for good. Until then, here's a guide on some loose ends players may want to tie up before witnessing the end of Season

This is why this year’s rewards of universal ornaments are so important. In destiny 2 Pvp guide 2 , ornaments are a way to make any piece of armor look exactly how you want it. So with the Magnificent ornaments, players can make take any armor piece and turn it into an ornate, glowing work of art in an instant. Guardians will be able to wear their prized armor with any build for the remainder of the life of the game. This is a huge improvement and shows a great deal of respect for the time players will dedicate to the ev

Starting on Io, speak to Asher Mir again. He will need some tasks completed before he’s willing to leave the planet. The player will need to complete his four quests: Observer Effect, Into the Pyramidion, Double Blind, and Fleischman-Aschheim Axiom. They can speak with him to turn in the quests when they’re done. Players will receive the Silicon Neuroma Sniper Rifle.

Though short at 5-6 hours, the campaign provides enough thrills and excitement thanks to the great barons. Each of the eight barons offers a unique boss fight that keeps players on their toes. The Rider forces you to fight from aboard a Pike, the Trickster rigs ammo to explode and the Rifleman summons decoys to trip you up. Not all were created equal, like the Machinist whose single identifiable trait is firing a few missiles. Then, there are some like the Fanatic who make up for lack of personality by throwing hordes of enemies at you. Still, the boss design is a huge step up from previous Destiny experiences.

With Season 10 winding down, players can obtain the remaining tiers in the season pass by purchasing them with silver. If players are more than halfway through or encroaching upon the end, throwing away a couple of silver can finish up the pass quickly and obtain the remaining rewards without any more grinding for fast EXP. The latter half of the season pass includes ornaments for both the Exotic weapon Tommy's Matchbook as well as the Seventh Seraph armor sets, shotgun, and smg. Exotic engrams also drop during the latter half of the pass, so the chance to earn the rest of the current season's exotics are pretty high with those engr

In the end, this Solstice of Heroes seems like a net positive for Destiny 2 players . The universal ornaments can be used indefinitely and players are welcome to upgrade their armor as much as they choose. It’s clear that some of the tasks necessary to upgrade the armor are far harder than others. That balance has always been very challenging to strike. But expecting some deep, intricate event to wrap up the year that is to include all players, even those without the expansions, is a simply a miss. The event is supposed to be pretty simple, fun, and with bright, shiny rewards that **Destiny 2 ** players can show off far into the future. Beyond Light draws near. Let’s hope Guardians are re
