Bungie announced details this week about the upcoming beta for Destiny 2 on PC. In addition to the usual content from the beta on consoles, there is also new content to discover.
Bungie is preparing for the release of Destiny 2. The game will be released for the current console generation in just five weeks. PC players will have to wait a bit longer, specifically until October 24.
PC players can test Destiny 2 as part of a PC beta from August 28 to August 31. Bungie has now announced the contents of the beta for Destiny 2 on PC.
New Control Map Javelin-4
The Destiny 2 beta on PC offers the following content:
- The story mission “Homecoming”
- “Twisted Column” Strike
- Countdown in the downtown area
- Control on Javelin-4 (New Map!)
Where the new map will be located is open to speculation. To us, it sounds like a space station. We can’t wait to see.
Bungie Listens to Player Feedback – Balance Changes
In addition to the new multiplayer map, Bungie also announces that it will consider player feedback and make changes to Power ammo and Super abilities.
The changes are said to be “subtle.” Will your Super charge 0.04% faster now? The beta will reveal it.
What is Bungie Planning Against Cheaters on PC?
Bungie does not want to go into detail about their anti-cheat strategies, but they are already giving hints on how cheating in Destiny 2 will be prevented.
Bungie specifically addresses software that adds functionality to the game’s client. These can be enhancements to the gaming experience, but can also have destructive capabilities. Bungie wants to prevent any changes to the game client, whether intended for good or bad purposes.
This policy may affect the following types of applications:
- Communication applications
- Recording/streaming applications
The most important and largest representatives of these two types of applications are intended to continue functioning, and the impact on them should be minimal. Here, too, the beta will be an initial stress test. Bungie also offers a guide on using third-party software.
Bungie reiterates that the beta is just a test; they are entering new territory with PC and are therefore excited. There will be issues, but Bungie hopes that enough players will participate to create the best possible experience on PC.
