Sony has provided a major DLC from Destiny 2 this time with its monthly free games in the PS Plus offer, but who is it worth it for? What should one consider and are you missing something if you don’t indulge? We will show you.
Which DLC is free? As we have already reported, PlayStation announced the games for February in its PS Plus subscriptions. Among the games, there is also a major DLC for Destiny 2. It is Beyond Light, the second major expansion from Bungie after the split from Activision.
Some players in the community, including you on MeinMMO, have wondered whether the DLC is worth it, what to consider, and if you miss out on something if you don’t get the DLC. We will address your questions and answer them in our overview.
Beyond Light is of great importance for the story in Destiny 2
Is Beyond Light worth it? From a story perspective, and especially regarding the content that Beyond Light offers, you should indulge in the DLC since it is free. With Beyond Light, you will receive some strikes, an exciting raid with a well-known boss, and a variety of exotic weapons and armor for your Guardians.
In addition, with Beyond Light, you will have the opportunity to earn one of the first Darkness subclasses in Destiny 2. It’s called Stasis and freezes your enemies in place. Without the DLC, you cannot gain this ability. The currently feared PvP fusion rifle “No Time to Explain” is also included in the package.
Can I play older DLCs if I get Beyond Light now? No, unfortunately, that is not the case. You can only play the specified DLC. You would need to purchase Shadowkeep separately.
Am I missing something if I don’t get Beyond Light? That depends on how far you want to play Destiny 2. Beyond Light offers an important focus subclass that can be very useful in raids, dungeons, or strikes. If you do not own Beyond Light, you otherwise have no chance of gaining this focus.
And in general, it is difficult to enjoy or understand Destiny 2 in bits and pieces. The loot shooter is a universe that continuously evolves over time. With Beyond Light, you only have a snapshot in your possession. You can also just buy Lightfall, but then you miss the context of how your Guardian first came into contact with darkness.
It’s not easy for us to make the decision for you. If you don’t want to play only Free-to-Play, then indulge in the full DLC of Destiny 2 and give it a try. However, be aware that you are only scratching the surface of what the entire Destiny universe offers.
How long is the offer valid? The special opportunity surrounding Beyond Light and other titles in February is valid from February 7 to March 6 and is available for PlayStation Plus members.
If you haven’t seen the offer yet and have always wanted to have a round of sci-fi loot action, then take the plunge now. Simply go to the PSN Store website and search for “Beyond Light”. There you can download the DLC as a free PS Plus game.
Were we able to convince you, and will you play the free DLC, or would you prefer to wait for Lightfall to come around to restart with this DLC? Feel free to leave us a comment with your opinion on this!
