Continuing my series of guides on each release of Destiny 2, we move forward to season 2 with the Curse of Osiris expansion. Although widely considered one of the lower points of Destiny 2, if not the lowest, there’s still some good content to enjoy.

Pretty much everything that will be covered in this guide will be vaulted come Beyond Light, so if you want to experience any of it, you only have a couple more months to do so. Without further adieu, let’s head to the sun-scorched sands of Mercury and save Osiris from the Vex!

Destiny 2 base game guide: The Red War campaign, quests, and other content

June 24, 2020June 30, 2020 Immernaut3 Comments

With the news of various year 1 destinations entering the Destiny Content Vault this fall, a pretty sizable chunk of the game will also be going away, perhaps for good. To give you some guidance on what you should check out before it’s gone, I’m going to be writing up some guides on each release of the game, including campaigns, quests, activities, loot, and triumphs.

We’re starting all the way back at the beginning with Destiny 2’s launch. Released in September 2017, Destiny 2 brought a new campaign that started off by destroying a lot of what we knew and loved in Destiny 1. If you want to revisit the Red War and the initial appearance of the Red Legion, read on!

Season of Arrivals intro: Questlines, activities, and new reward systems

The final season of Destiny 2’s third year has kicked off in a big way, with the Pyramid fleet entering the Solar System at last. First teased at the end of the Red War campaign, their slow and inexorable progress has led them here. But rather than find ourselves on the verge of a second Collapse, they seem to be calling out to us. What is their message, and what is their purpose?

This season brings a new public event, a weekly lore quest, and a new reward system similar to the Menagerie that lets you focus your rewards a bit more. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get to it.

Updated, 6/17/20: Contact moves to different zones. The Umbral Enhancement II perk has been fixed.

There was certainly a lot of reveals in this week’s stream, not only going over season 11 and the fall expansion, but also providing a taste of the next three years of the game. It was much more than I was expecting, that’s for sure.

Bungie laid out their vision for the future of Destiny 2, including some systems changes that are designed to help them support the game for years to come. It’s a lot to talk about, so let’s jump in.

The Almighty is destroyed! Get a free emblem to celebrate

June 6, 2020 ImmernautLeave a comment

I really should have put a post out yesterday, but being busy with other things I didn’t think about it in time. Oh well, I don’t think many people are watching this blog for Destiny announcements anyway, especially on such short notice.

In case you missed it, today marked the finale of Season of the Worthy, and despite the mixed reception of the season, it definitely went out with a bang. True, the season has a couple more days to go, but we’ve hit the conclusion of the story with the Almighty’s destruction, even if Rasputin was cutting it a little close. Thousands of Guardians, maybe even millions, flocked to the Tower to watch the fireworks.

Even if you missed the finale, you can still collect one final emblem this season to commemorate all the work you did in all those Seraph Towers public events. And if you skipped out on doing them and let others do them instead…well, you can still get it.
