For the launch of “The Rise of Iron Lords”, all Guardians on PS4 and Xbox One will be able to create and play private matches in Destiny . We summarize the information.

In the Bungie livestream for Gamescom 2016 it was indeed confirmed: Private Matches are coming to the Destiny universe. Many Guardians have wished for this feature for quite some time, as it opens the door to a more extensive PvP experience and takes Destiny to a new level – eSports suddenly becomes conceivable.

Lord Shaxx hands you the keys to the Crucible, so you now have control over how you want to utilize the PvP area.

Create Private Matches – These are the options you have

You can only create your own games on PS4 and Xbox One in the fall. To do this, you open a private lobby. The fireteam leader selects the Crucible in the orbit and then clicks on the “Private Match” node. He can now set the match options in the game settings.

Game options for Private Matches and Custom Games

Although changes may still occur before the release of “RoI” on September 20, these are currently the possible presets:

• Game type: Here you choose which Crucible mode you want to play. If you want to play Supremacy, all participants need “Rise of Iron”.

  

• Map: Now you choose the map on which the fun will take place. If you want to play on Floating Gardens, Icarus, Last Exit, and Skyline, you need RoI. Sector 618 and Icarus are only selectable on PlayStation 4.

  

• Score limit: Here you decide how many points a team must reach to win the match. Once a team has won, you return to orbit. If you previously selected the elimination mode, you can determine here how many wins a team needs for the overall victory.
• Time limit: To ensure the games don’t take too long, you can also set a time limit. If no team reaches the required points within this time, the game ends prematurely.
• Light Level: Here you can specify whether level advantages should be considered or not.

Map settings:

• Time of day: Set the time of day on the map.
• Vehicles: Here you specify whether vehicles will be present on a map or not. However, vehicles are not possible on all maps.

Now you can press start and the game begins.

Switching Teams

In private matches, you can switch between the Alpha and Bravo teams at will. You can do this already in orbit or during the game.

• To switch teams in orbit: Press L1/R1 (PS4) or LB/RB (Xbox One).
• In the match: Here the process takes place in navigation mode (touchpad on PS4, view button on Xbox One).

When both teams are full, you can only switch teams if a player from the other team also wants to switch. You have a window of 15 seconds to execute the switch simultaneously. If you do this during a game, you die immediately and lose all your personal points. However, your contribution to the total score does not expire.

More info about Private Matches:

• Rewards: After the games, you can earn rewards. However, these are only of the quality level “Rare”. Legendary and exotic items cannot drop. Three of the coins have no use in private matches and will not be consumed.
• Heavy ammo: Regardless of how many rounds you choose in elimination for the overall victory, heavy ammo always spawns after the third win.
• Progress and Reputation: In private matches, you can complete daily Crucible bounties and perform test weapons from the gunsmith. Weekly bounties, quests, or the record book are not affected by private matches. After each game, you receive 30 Crucible reputation. With the “Crucible Champion” perk, you can increase this, which you find on some class items. Reputation boosters, however, have no effect. You earn Glimmer and weapon XP.

  

• Teams: A maximum of 12 players can participate. A team cannot have more than 6 players. Unbalanced matches are possible (e.g. 5 against 2). You can also start a private game alone and explore the map at your leisure.
• Maps: You can play any game mode on any map.
• You can choose between a team and a fireteam voice channel. You can find information about this on the Bungie site.
• Clans play a more important role. The clan of the fireteam leader who creates the game lobby will be displayed at the top left of the screen as the host. If you are not in a clan, it will say “No Clan Membership”.
• If you want to host not just casual games but public tournaments with prizes, there are some basic rules to follow, which you can study here.

Rise of Iron is not required for private matches – only for certain maps and the Supremacy mode. However, you need a PS4 or Xbox One.

In Destiny, there is information about the new strike “The Wretched Eye.” Here you can watch “The Wretched Eye” in full in the video.

Alongside the story of the Iron Lords, the upcoming fall expansion will revolve around a great danger that you must face: SIVA. With this technology, things can be created, but also destroyed. The Devil Splicers use SIVA for the latter purposes.

In the new strike “The Wretched Eye,” you will find out what the Fallen are doing with SIVA. A Fallen leader, a Splicer Priest named Kovik, has grabbed the eye of an Ogre. He uses it as a weapon and shoots around while the blind Ogre stumbles wildly. This is how you can imagine the boss fight.

The Procedure of “The Wretched Eye”

At Gamescom 2016, this strike will be presented in detail with visual material. Bungie will completely unveil the mystery of this strike. Unlike the raid, the procedure and mechanics of which remain under wraps, you can see the complete new strike below.

However, a clear spoiler warning at this point. If you want to discover the strike yourself at release on September 20, you should not click on this video:

“The Wretched Eye” is intended to be a strike with high replayability. After a short time, you enter a large bunker with several doors. Each time you play through, you take a different path through the building to ultimately reach the boss.

This strike is located in the Plaguelands. Your first task is to gain access to the bunker, where rockets are stored. You achieve this by finding and destroying SIVA nodes. Meanwhile, you must beat down Splicers. SIVA nodes are the following red glowing, spark-spraying formations:

Afterward, you fight your way through the bunker, defeating Splicers and the Hive while destroying additional SIVA nodes. At the end, you arrive in a large room. There, you find the blind Ogre, who is bound. You should scan him:

And suddenly, the Splicer Priest Kovik appears, who has it out for you. The Ogre is freed and goes on a rampage. In the video, he was already quite aggressive towards the Guardian, whose perspective we experience the strike from. Your only objective is to defeat Kovik. The Ogre is immune. Once Kovik is down, the strike is over.

“The Wretched Eye” was completed in under 14 minutes. However, the enemies were also at level 38 – the Guardians at 40. The recommended light level was 190.

Note: In the video, the artifact of Timur is also seen in use. With this, you have the chance to bring enemies to your side with melee attacks. They will then fight for you.

How do you like the strike?

In Destiny we look at the rolls of the weapons that the last Iron Banner brings before “The Iron Lords Awakening”.

Last night, Bungie’s livestream for Gamescom aired. And it brought what many Guardians wished for: Private Matches. We followed the stream live yesterday; here you can read the info.

Furthermore, during the maintenance, the update 2.3.1.2 was deployed on PS4 and Xbox One, which is responsible for the account import. The future of Destiny has begun.

Since the end of the server downtime, the August Iron Banner is live. Lord Saladin welcomes you for the last time in the Tower. So enjoy the view once more, as who knows when the gate to this area of the Tower, where the Iron Lord stands, will open again.

The weapons in Lord Saladin’s offer

The Iron Banner after the launch of “Rise of Iron” will experience some changes. In the current week, everything remains the same. Lord Saladin offers you his tokens, shaders, class-specific and PlayStation-exclusive armor pieces and weapons with fixed rolls from certain Iron Banner ranks. Don’t forget the daily and weekly bounties to quickly rank up.

In the last Iron Banner before RoI, Lord Saladin has the shotgun Deidris’ Retorte and the hand cannon Finnalas Fährnis. While these two guns can drop with random perks after matches, the weapons are available from Lord Saladin with fixed rolls.

Deidris’ Retorte in the August Iron Banner

You will receive this pretty shotgun when you reach Iron Banner rank 4 and put down 90 Legendary Marks. Deidris’ Retorte comes with Solar damage and the following perk selection:

• Full Auto: You can fire the weapon in full automatic mode.
• Resupply: The magazine is replenished when you use a super.

You have the choice between:

• Lightweight: When held, grants +2 Character Agility.
• Extended Barrel: Increased range, slower reload.
• Smallbore: Increased range and stability, slower reload and reduced magazine size.

Additionally, you can adjust impact, range, and recoil with Softer Ballistics, Improved Ballistics, and Aggressive Ballistics.

The roll of this weapon is definitely not a God roll, but still solid. If you don’t have the weapon yet, you can get it here.

Finnalas Fährnis in the August Iron Banner

Finnalas Fährnis is a hand cannon that you can acquire with Iron Banner rank 5 and 90 Legendary Marks. Just to be upfront: The roll of this weapon is also not amazing. However, since hand cannons benefit from range bonuses, you can at least do something with it:

• Outlaw: Precision kills significantly improve reload speed.
• Reactive Reload: Reloading after a kill grants bonus damage for a short time.

You have the choice between:

• Hand Loader: The weapon is effective at longer ranges.
• Smallbore: Increased range and stability, slower reload and reduced magazine size.
• Extended Barrel: Increased range, slower reload.

With Calm Hand OV, Quickdraw OV, and Fixed Draw OV, you can influence handling and recoil.

Will you take the last chance to prove yourself worthy to become an Iron Lord?
