In PVE of Destiny 2 players will have something to do after they finish the campaign.
In the expansion to Destiny 1 “The Taken King”, players were surprised that additional quest lines appeared after the main campaign ended.
They can expect the same in Destiny 2. As made clear in Bungie’s new video with IGN, there are “World Quests” in Destiny 2.
World Quests – Failsafe, Artificial Intelligence without Crew
World Quests are “quest series” that are interconnected and only appear after the main campaign is completed. They are multi-part quests that highlight an area.
We do not yet know exactly how many of these World Quests will be in Destiny 2. But it sounds like there will be more than one – perhaps one per area. In the current video with IGN, a World Quest about “Failsafe” is presented.
This is an artificial intelligence, similar to the Ghost. Failsafe belonged to a ship that crashed on the planet Nessus. The quest revolves around the story of the abandoned AI and its crew.
The World Quests are designed to lead players back into an area they have already completed, to shed light on new aspects of the zone and delve deeper into its story.
Landing Points – Reclaiming the World, Piece by Piece
Landing Points seem to be a kind of “waypoint” system in Destiny 2. The further you progress into an area, the more landing points the Guardian unlocks.
This is meant to enhance the sense of adventure, as Guardians gradually unlock an area as they complete side quests.
These are essentially “sub-zones.” There will also be more to do here once the main quest is completed.
Flashpoint – A Zone is Always Something Special
With Flashpoints, a “destination”, a zone in Destiny 2, is selected.
Flashpoints are a weekly activity that anyone can participate in, in the open world. They make a zone something special:
- Flashpoint basically says: “Make Public Events in this zone” and you get a special reward for it.
- Cayde-6 also sells treasure maps every week. The treasure is always located in the zone that is currently the Flashpoint.
- There is also a series of secret bosses that can only be activated when the zone is “Flashpoint”. They are usually tied to public events, if you activate the heroic mode, a secret boss may still appear – provided the zone is currently “Flashpoint.”
