In Destiny 2 there will be numerous new Crucible maps. One map that will be playable during the beta is “Endless Vale.”
In just a week, on July 18, the beta phase for Destiny 2 will start. In it, you can play two PvE activities as well as two PvP modes, and for a short time, enter the new social space, the Farm,.
The PvP of the beta looks like this:
- All Guardians may play the new “Countdown” mode on the “Midtown” map. You can find everything about this content in the provided link.
- Additionally, the revised Control mode will be available to you. This will be played on the map “Endless Vale”.
Via IGN, environment artist Coolie Calihan presents this new map:
A PvP map on Nessus
While the Midtown map is located on Earth – in a district of the Last City – the “Endless Vale” map is on Nessus.
Nessus is one of the four new worlds in Destiny 2. It is a planetoid, a small planet, transformed by the Vex into a “machine world.”
Thus, you will also find plenty of Vex architecture in the Endless Vale. Additionally, the red vegetation is the trademark of Nessus. Many Guardians are reminded of the design of Nessus as “No Man’s Sky”.
The Bungie developer highlights a few special locations on the map. Near Zone B, there is a sort of hiding place from which you can surprise the enemies. You jump up and have Zone B directly in your sights. There is also a tree on the map that can be used as cover. Or you can jump over it and have the element of surprise.
Generally, it is a map where battles are fought at close range. You will see many SMGs or pistols, according to Calihan. However, there are also a few places where you have a long sight. Here, you can also pull out the snipers.
By the way: The power ammo, the “new heavy ammo,” spawns near the spawn points of both teams. In the gameplay material from IGN, power ammo is immediately available. However, that will not be the case at the launch of Destiny 2.
