In Destiny, there is some information about the near future of the MMO shooter. We summarize the information.
In a detailed letter to the community, in “This Week at Bungie”, the community manager DeeJ addresses us and explains what the near future holds for us. There is still much to tell about “Rise of Iron”: The expansion offers more to play, more to earn, and several changes they still have in store. DeeJ is already revealing some aspects.
“Wrath of the Machine” on Heroic and Raid Challenges
First, in “This Week at Bungie”, the fireteams that performed excellently last week in “Wrath of the Machine” are praised. One team managed to complete the new raid in just under 2 hours. DeeJ then mentions that some have actually managed to obtain the exotic pulse rifle. You can find a detailed guide on that link.
In the coming weeks, there will be new things for the raid. When exactly the Heroic Mode will start is still unknown. “In the coming weeks” they will inform us. Additionally: The bosses will have some challenges in store for the future.
Trials of Osiris
Tonight, on September 30th, the Trials will begin for the first time since “The Rise of Iron”. It starts at 7 PM. The map is still unknown. Overall, this activity should remain as you know it. Visit Brother Vance in the Reef and let’s get started. You can grab new gear. We will report about it this evening.
Iron Banner Early October
On Tuesday, October 4th, the Iron Banner event returns at 7 PM. It is played in the Control mode.
Important new features:
- Lord Saladin is now not in the Tower but in the Felwinter Peak.
- The “Hardened” mechanic is no longer present. You will earn the same amount of reputation every day of the week.
- There are now 4 weekly bounties.
Bounty rewards include:
- An Iron Banner item that is not available from vendors
- A chance for an Iron Banner artifact or a cosmetic item
- 25 Legendary Marks
- 750 Iron Banner reputation
- A match win grants 250 reputation
- Iron Medallions grant 150 reputation upon victory
We will also report on this monthly PvP event.
More Ghost Shells and Artifacts
Bungie has noticed that many Guardians are currently struggling to get their Light level above 365. The reason is the low drop rate of Ghosts and Artifacts. In the coming weeks, they want to test solutions here so you have multiple options to maximize these two slots.
Last night, Update 2.4.0.3 was released, bringing some fixes, especially in the Strikes.
Additionally, the letter to the community lists several known issues. For example, the Grimoire for Khvostov Manual, p. 90 is currently unavailable. Furthermore, heroic SIVA crisis strikes do not contribute to the milestone “Complete a Strike”. You can find all issues in the Bungie Forum.
What do you think of what’s in store for you in the future?
In this article, we give you tips on how to quickly obtain high-quality artifacts.
