In Destiny 2 there will be a new penalty if you die in the raid. Additionally, there is information about the Guided Games for the raid.
The raids in Destiny are activities that Guardians should completely explore on their own. Information about the raids before a release is therefore virtually nonexistent.
So far, it is only known about Destiny 2 that there will be a raid, that it will again be a 6-player activity, and that through Guided Games, every Guardian can experience the raid.
However, Kotaku and Giant Bomb were recently able to elicit two interesting pieces of information about the raid in Destiny 2 from the game director Luke Smith.
A new penalty for dying in the raid
According to Smith, there will be a different “death penalty” in Destiny 2’s raid than in Destiny 1. In the sequel, you will be punished differently if you meet your end in the raid. Smith does not reveal exactly what this penalty looks like, but he suggests that the times of no respawning are over.
Smith explains that it is no fun to die in the raid and just watch the other team members. Therefore, there will be a “brand new” penalty for dying.
However, he also emphasizes that the raid will not be easier. The raid remains a challenge; you must work together and communicate. Only motivated groups can master this challenge.
In Destiny 1, it is not possible to revive fallen Guardians on the “Hard” difficulty in the raid. If one dies, either the remaining 5 Guardians have to fight their way through to the next checkpoint (then the deceased Guardian can only watch) – or wipe.
Guided Games are only available for activities on normal difficulty
In Destiny 2, a new form of matchmaking is being introduced: the Guided Games. This allows one or two players to find a group that needs one or two players for their activity. This way, solo players can also enjoy raids, Nightfall strikes, or trials for which there will be no “normal” matchmaking. All information about the Guided Games can be found here.
Luke Smith has now clarified that these Guided Games only apply to activities on normal difficulty. In other words, the raid on the “Hard” difficulty does not support Guided Games. For that, you have to organize yourself to get 6 people together.
