In Destiny, the heroic mode in the new raid “Wrath of the Machine” has a specific release date.
The community manager DeeJ mentions some interesting things in the weekly letter to the community, in “This Week at Bungie”, where the launch date for the “Rise of Iron” raid is probably the most exciting.
As our title image indicates, this week also focuses on the Iron Banner. Not Lord Saladin anymore, but Efrideet is the new point of contact for this, who has new loot and items in her inventory for you.
Regarding the new loot distribution system and the fact that it is now worthwhile to fight every day of the week – as the reputation gain remains constant – DeeJ says: The feedback has been positive so far. In the coming months, the changed Iron Banner mechanics will likely continue.
The heroic mode is coming
It starts in 11 days. The heroic mode of “Wrath of the Machine” will be unlocked. Bungie is once again calling for a race: The fireteam that completes this challenge first will receive the “World First” accolade and enjoy fame and glory.
The heroic mode of the raid begins on October 18, 2016.
Further announcements:
- On October 12 at 7 PM, there will be a badge to win. Bungie challenges you on PS4. To participate, you just need to be in the chat room of Bungie’s Twitch channel and you can be selected for a private game. DeeJ emphasizes that they will “sometime” do this on Xbox as well.
- Currently, due to known issues, a Sparrow cannot be obtained from Crucible reputation packages, Dusty Iron Engrams are incorrectly broken down into Legendary Marks, and some Crucible badges from RoI cannot currently be retrieved from the collections in the Tower. Additionally, the issue is being investigated whereby the trophy “Student of History” is not unlocking, even though all artifacts have been tuned.
DeeJ also provides a brief outlook on the coming months: The next challenge is the Heroic Raid. Later, raid bosses will hold surprises (Raid Challenge), and you can also expect festivals and races. The exact dates will be revealed in the future.
