Destiny 2 provided new insights into the upcoming DLC “The Final Shape” in a livestream. A new enemy type was also revealed, which finally brings excitement to the fans of the loot shooter after a long time.
What is this new enemy type? In “The Final Shape”, the Guardians continue their fight against The Witness, who has a group of aggressive fighters by his side.
The group calls themselves “the Torments” and consists of various units, all of which have new abilities. Four new units of the Torments were introduced in the stream:
- Grimm – a flying enemy that slows you down and suppresses your abilities
- Husk – an acrobatic melee fighter with blade weapons that sends a spirit after you if you don’t take him out through his weak point
- Caregiver – an enemy that uses Stasis to freeze you
- Webber – an enemy that uses Strand to pull you towards him against your will
Additionally, we already know about the Subjugators, who also belong to the Torments and will be integrated into the game with “The Final Shape”:
- Stasis Subjugators – Use their powers to slow down, freeze, and smash
- Strand Subjugators: Can bind you with proximity mines or fire projectiles that slice through their opponents.
The Torments that came into the game with Lightfall and can shoot Void projectiles with their huge scythe also belong to the Torments.
In the video you can see more about the Torments and get an impression of the new enemies:
Bungie surprises players: “I thought I wouldn’t experience this anymore”
How does the community react to the announcement? Very positively. Bungie was able to convince many players with the content shown from “The Final Shape” and especially with the announcement of the new enemy type they positively surprised. This was also reflected in the comments on MeinMMO:
- MeinMMO reader Splitter: “Wow, a new enemy race! That I’m experiencing this. I approached the stream yesterday with low expectations, but what was shown really impressed me overall. Especially the new enemy faction, but ‘Prismatic’ also looks really cool.”
- MeinMMO reader Killerbee_500: “New enemies. I thought I wouldn’t experience this anymore…” [sic]
- MeinMMO reader in oute: “Really good what you could see there. I can’t wait to test the new builds. The idea with the class items is also really good. I’m curious to see how that will affect… it can only be fun. New enemies are also included… it will be a worthy closure. I’m already looking forward to it.”
The first new enemy type since Forsaken
What was the last new enemy type? Strictly speaking, it was the Torments, but as we now know, they belong to the new faction that will increasingly stand in your way in “The Final Shape”. The Torments were therefore just individual fighters of the new enemy type until the end.
That makes the Mockery, which entered the game in September 2018 as part of the Forsaken DLC, the last new enemy type that we welcomed in Destiny 2. This will be almost 6 years ago on June 4, 2024, when “The Final Shape” is released.
