The Forsaken expansion brings numerous profound changes for Destiny 2. The current weekly milestone system is also being revised. Starting in September, the hunt for the most powerful items should become more interesting and varied.
In an exclusive article from Game Informer, Bungie has now commented on the upcoming adjustments to the milestone system of Destiny 2. These opportunities are available to you in Forsaken if you want to reach the most powerful loot in the game.
Changes to the Weekly Milestones – What You Need to Know
If you currently clear all weekly milestones, Destiny 2 offers hardly any attractive reasons to invest time in the game until the next reset. There is barely anything noteworthy that advances you in the game. Steve Cotton, the Game Director of Forsaken, has now revealed how Forsaken plans to change this situation.
The term “milestones” is obsolete with Forsaken: The term milestones will no longer exist. With the launch of Forsaken, milestones will be continued as challenges. Activities currently classified as challenges will then be integrated into the new bounty system.
The number of milestones: One of the biggest changes concerns the number of milestones available from which the Guardians can acquire powerful loot. There will no longer be a fixed number of corresponding activities – these will vary from week to week.
Not just weekly tasks: Furthermore, the previous weekly rhythm of many milestones will be broken. In addition to still rotating activities such as raids and raid encounters on a weekly basis, other milestones such as Flashpoints will switch to a four-day cycle.
But there will also be new weekly tasks for Gambit, heroic story missions, or the new public event in the Dreaming City. The Iron Banner and the faction rallies will present their own challenges in the respective week.
New display: All these activities will be removed from the task list and displayed in the navigator instead, when they become relevant.
Bounties and hidden challenges: Through the bounties, it will also be possible to get powerful gear. However, not every bounty will clearly indicate what the reward is.
There will also be hidden challenges that are not marked in the navigator and can simply be found in the open world. There is also the chance for powerful rewards here.
Daily challenges: Guardians can expect daily opportunities to acquire powerful gear when completing activities such as strikes, Nightfall, Gambit, heroic story missions, or battles in the Crucible. Daily challenges will rotate between these modes.
No time? No problem: Because Bungie has also thought of players who cannot log in every day when redesigning the milestones. Daily challenges will stack up to four times. If you wait longer than four days, you will miss the reset of the challenges, but at the next log-in, four challenges will be waiting for you. If you complete one of them, a current challenge will replace it.
What do you think of these changes? Will Destiny 2 finally become a hobby? Does this new system provide enough incentive for you to log in daily again?
