Details about the MMO shooter Destiny’s DLC “House of Wolves” have emerged. This time, there will be no raid for 6 players.
This is a surprise. As Bungie announced, the DLC “House of Wolves” will not include a 6-player raid. The two previous raids were considered highlights of the game.
Bungie states that the decision was not made lightly, especially since the reactions to “The Glass Chamber” and “Crota’s End” were very positive. Although no raid will come with House of Wolves on May 19, they plan to bring another raid this year. They are currently preparing that.
For “House of Wolves,” they have planned two brand new endgame activities, which they want to reveal in the week after next and the following week. These include a 3-player arena, “The Prison of Elders,” and the event “Trials of Osiris.”
However, next week they want to first present how they envision upgrading equipment. They suspect that this is where players will have the greatest thirst for information. An initial image shows that a legendary weapon with 300 damage from the raid “The Glass Chamber” can be upgraded to the new value of 365.
What do we know about the two new in-game activities?
Now we come to the unofficial part of the news.
We have had some information from the database about “Trials of Osiris” for some time. This is likely to be a PvP event on Mercury. Players will compete in a type of 3-vs-3 “deathmatch.” Those who achieve multiple victories in a row will likely be rewarded increasingly. This event is also associated with the exotic scout rifle “Fate of All Fools”. The special aspect seems to be that one must purchase a “life,” an “entry to the tournament,” for a high price.
A selection of legendary weapons that could be rewards circulated some time ago. But these could still all be placeholders.
Little is known about the second activity, the arena Prison of Elders. Many speculate that it could be a type of “horde mode,” where 3 players must fight against increasingly stronger waves until they are overwhelmed. It seems that this will be a 3-player activity with modifiers, comparable to the Nightfall Strike.
But these are still just speculations at the moment. We will learn more in a few weeks.
