In Destiny 2 has launched Lightfall and with it the long-awaited continuation of the story. However, to play this, you must choose between two difficulties. We will show you when you should opt for which difficulty.
How does the campaign work in Destiny 2? In the loot shooter, the system behind the campaign has changed significantly. Since Witch Queen, Guardians can choose between two difficulties:
- Classic – So easy that everyone can keep up with the enemies
- Legendary – So hard that you need to rethink your tactics and cannot just rush through
Players can therefore decide shortly before their journey through the story which burden is imposed on them, as the legendary variant can be quite intense at times.
However, before you opt for the classic version out of fear, we will show you why the legendary campaign is worth it despite the challenge and when you should choose the classic one.
This difficulty suits you in Lightfall
Which difficulty should I choose? It depends entirely on what effort you want to impose on yourself and where your focus lies. If you are more of a newbie, fresh from the light and taking your first steps in Destiny 2, then you should prefer the classic variant.
With this difficulty, you can calmly pursue the campaign and enjoy the story.
However, if you have been in Destiny 2 for a longer time and have a variety of good weapons, then you should stick to the legendary campaign. It offers exactly the challenge you are looking for, and on top of that, you will be showered with a lot of loot.
What loot does the campaign offer? In the classic variant, you receive a chest with blue engrams, upgrade modules, and possibly even legendary weapons and gear for each completed stage of a mission.
If you tackle the legendary campaign, you will receive far more items and goodies for your light bearer, and for each stage of a mission, you get two instead of one chest. Upon completion, you will be rewarded as follows:
- An exotic armor
- Gear package (1770 Power)
- 8 upgrade modules
- 300 Strand Meditation
- “Lightfall Legendary” triumph
- Neomuna reputation
Conclusion – What you should consider: The legendary variant of the campaign is particularly worthwhile for players who want to reach the maximum power level faster, as well as complete their exotic collection. Additionally, it takes a bit more time and keeps you engaged longer, but rewards you generously. After each section of the legendary campaign, you receive 2 chests, and thus you really drop a lot of loot along with upgrade modules to boost your own power.
If you do not want to deal with tense nerves and prefer to familiarize yourself with Destiny 2, then opt for the classic variant. This way, you can calmly pursue the story and are more focused on understanding it. The loot in this variant is rather sparse.
This was our guide on the topic of difficulties in Destiny 2: Lightfall. Which one did you choose, and do you find the story cool so far? Please be considerate of players who are not as far along as you and avoid spoilers in your comments.
