In the MMO shooter Destiny this week, Banshee-44 has participated in the weapon day on December 9th.

Banshee-44 – with all the commotion around the new patch, his appearance isn’t as important as usual. We’ll show you what he has and what you should pick up. We’ve already talked enough about Banshee’s bonus features like First Curse or Tlaloc, so let’s get started.

This week, these test weapons are available at the gunsmith in Destiny

Banshee-44 sends you off with these 5 prototypes to fulfill specific missions. This earns you reputation points with him.

• A Suros auto rifle must achieve precision kills.
• With a Häkke hand cannon, you need to get double kills.
• A Häkke pulse rifle wants to achieve precision hits.
• A Suros pulse rifle is meant to be used against the Vex.
• And a Häkke sniper rifle must have a face-to-face chat with Cabal Centurions.

This week, these weapons can be ordered

You can order these 5 weapons anew this week. Clicking on one of the weapons takes you to the Bungie Armory, where you can find the exact values and all the attributes that this weapon can have.

• The auto rifle Zarinea-D is relatively fast with high stability and a mediocre magazine – it’s not exactly the ideal setup.
• The auto rifle Ari-41 has almost the same values. So far, it hasn’t really earned a great reputation either. But auto rifles are on the rise. For example, it could come with balance compensation – that would be quite an exciting weapon.
• The pulse rifle PDX-45 from Suros is back this week. This is the one everyone has been drooling over due to its great stability. After the patch with changes to weapon balance, it likely won’t be the super killer anymore.
• From Häkke, there is a sniper rifle Aiofe Rua-D – high range, medium impact, low stability. No one was really waiting for this.
• The sniper rifle Uzume RR4 can come with interesting Omolon perks like Fireball or Roulette (although Roulette is probably not the first choice anymore). However, it’s difficult for sniper rifles to compete with other weapons like Eirene or Empty Gaze. But this week, it’s definitely one of the more interesting assignments you can give to Banshee.

Which weapons should you pick up this week?

Overall, no one is really excited about anything right now. People are more focused on sparrows and some “new secrets”; some suspect a new hidden exotic in the game – thus, Banshee isn’t that interesting.

In this video by Mesa-Sean (above), we have the rolls for last week’s weapons.

• This is the Arminius-D (no strong rolls),
• Zarinea-D (Braced Frame and Glass-Half-Full in roll #1 are reasonable);
• Suros Dis-43 (nothing really strong)
• Thesan FR4 (no strong rolls)
• and also the shotgun Jungoku-D has no noteworthy perks.

So there’s nothing “optimal” this time; of course, some reasonable combinations are present, but for the 5 from last week, you might as well wait for next week. If we still have wonderful rolls of “older weapons” that were available in previous weeks, we’ll pass them on.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the future is seen in free patches and events, not in DLCs. But what does that mean?

It’s strange what is currently happening with Destiny. The simplest and most obvious question simply remains unanswered: What happens next? Are paid DLCs coming or not?

Two months ago, there was an “insider report” from Kotaku, which stated: Destiny is changing. Instead of 20-euro DLCs, there will be a cash shop, events, and patches.

One month ago, Activision said: The cash shop and paid expansions can also go well together. It was left open whether they meant DLCs or a major autumn expansion.

Now players are waiting: Will there be any new game content at all, apart from events and balance changes?

Players can expect events and content in Year 2 of Destiny

Now Derek Caroll, an important man at Destiny, has essentially confirmed what was thought three months ago. Bungie has changed the model. They prefer to bring events that surprise players instead of “monolithic, gigantic DLCs.” This way, they can offer something to all players who purchased The Taken King.

Because events will be free. The cash shop will strictly offer “cosmetic items” and they are also working on the issue of “emote slots.” They seem to want to completely change how gestures work.

One detail in his response is particularly interesting. Caroll says players can expect new events and new content throughout the year.

This could mean: Destiny players will also receive “quests, zones, and shooter content” in Year 2. But it doesn’t have to be. The term “content” can encompass anything from a new raid zone to “old” exotic items or funny disguises in the Tower.

The interview only tells us that they are no longer planning these paid DLCs, but not “what exactly to expect.” Carroll speaks of “surprising players.” Not planning the year out in advance for them.

What does that mean now?

According to Kotaku, they feel completely confirmed by Carroll’s statements. They shout: It took three months, now they confirm our story. So there will be no new raid or new zones until September. An insider reportedly said that it was impossible for Bungie to deliver game content for DLCs while working on the next expansion for Destiny. That carries the codename “Destiny 2” and is set to be released next autumn. They believe: In the long run, this can be good, then Destiny 2 will be really strong.

How strange the situation is can be seen in a statement from publisher Activision to the magazine Polygon. Activision seriously said on December 8: “We are not bringing any expansions this year. And we have not announced our plans for 2016 yet.” Great answer Activision.

The three stages of content – what can be expected?

Mein MMO thinks: One can only conclude that the 20-euro DLCs are a thing of the past. And this can indeed benefit “Destiny 2.” Especially if an additional studio is working on it.

The question is simple: Will anything come in 2016 until September that players can accept as “new content”?

One can classify “content” for this purpose into three stages:

Stage I: Events, changes to weapon balance, new/old exotics, and so on – that will surely come. That just happened yesterday.

Stage II: The “next stage” with gear that has higher light values. New items, new missions are coming. Maybe a strike or crucible maps? What was roughly in House of Wolves and The Dark Below – minus the Prison of Elders and Crota’s End. Whether Bungie is working on something in category II, one simply does not know. However, it is strongly hoped so, otherwise the nine months until autumn 2016 may become surprisingly long.

Stage III: The outlook is bleak for hopes towards “new zones, new raids” – if they had something like that in store, they could have probably stuck with the DLC system. There will likely only be Stage III content again with the expansion.

Last night the patch for Destiny was released, but some things were not included in the patch notes. Bungie has loosened up the cash shop, but there is a new unpleasant bug.

Some changes were also found in Destiny, which Bungie did not mention in the patch notes. Warlocks were pleased to find that the exotic Year 1 helmet “The Ram” suddenly returned to the game. This was not announced. The Ram was likely the strongest armor in the Crucible at the end of Year 1.

The biggest surprise: Players report that a “mysterious bag” can drop in the Nightfall Strike: It contains the “old” emotes from the fall, at least one random one. Bungie has made items that were previously only available for real money “findable for free”. Players even report that they pulled the Carlton dance, everyone’s favorite emote, from the bag.

However, there are problems with exotic leg engrams that Destiny players find through the Three of Coins. Some report that they dragged the engram to the cryptarch and received nothing in return. The dud is currently strong in Rahool. This is not always the case. But it seems best to hold onto leg engrams until Bungie gives the all-clear.

Ghost Fragment on the Moon and Trick for The Chaperone

And for the ghost hunters perhaps interesting: There is a new ghost fragment in the Ocean of Storms II on the Moon. This was newly added in 2.1.0.

At the moment, you can see on the Grimoire cards that another ghost fragment is hidden, and there are still 2 other Grimoire cards hidden and 4 accessible through the Sparrow race. The ghost hunters are currently working on that.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the Sparrow race offers some features that players did not expect. Players can also use the Three of Coins here to have a chance at Exotics. And the quest “Johnny Halliday”, where you ultimately receive the Chaperone, can be advanced in the Sparrow race by equipping “The Last Word”.

In the MMO shooter Destiny today, December 8, the first major patch after The Taken King is arriving. What changes with the December update? What does the patch bring?

At 7:00 PM this evening, December 8, the major patch for Destiny is scheduled to be deployed. There should actually be no maintenance. After the download, players can continue right away. No one should miss significant gameplay if everything goes according to plan.

One of the highlights of the December update in Destiny:

These 5 major changes are brought by the Destiny patch this evening

Bungie has been talking about the December update in Destiny for months. Although there are no exact patch notes yet regarding what is changing, we already know enough to provide you with a summary. Here are the 5 important things that will be different tomorrow compared to today:

• 15 exotic armors and weapons are coming in Year 2, of which 13 are known from Year 1, 2 are new – We have listed the 15 items here
• The weapon balance is changing – we have explained in this article how exactly
• The Titans are being changed – here are the details
• The Sparrow racing will start as a 3-week event – dit’s going to be a big deal, the first real event in Destiny
• The cash shop is being overhauled and will receive new items – 14 new emotes and various stuff for the Sparrow racing

These are the 5 essential changes. Now we wait for the patch notes and will update the article if the patch holds any surprises. But these 5 changes are likely the most important this evening.

Update 19:05: The patch is already here. Without maintenance or anything. Those who log out and close Destiny can install it. On the Xbox One, it should be about 700 MB. On the PlayStation, many are again seeing 18 GB, which is a known bug that has occurred frequently. Also, on PlayStation, the patch for Destiny is only about 600 MB.

What the patch 2.1.0 changes – Patch notes in English

• Exotic class items from the Collector’s Edition can now be infused and can be used in addition to exotic armor pieces.
• Issues with leg armor that prevented them from providing bonus ammo have been fixed.
• On the Dreadnaught, some chests now give Hadium Flakes instead of Worm Spore.
• A bug that caused Guardians to get stuck in a slow sprint has been eliminated.
• The skull of the terrible Ahamkara has been added to the Exotic collection.
• The Will of Crota Strike (Omnigul) is now in the Vanguard and Heroic Vanguard playlists.
• The Nightfall strike grants 500 Vanguard reputation once per week with every Guardian.
• Three of Coins can now provide bonus loot at the end of a Crucible match (according to initial reports, they also work in the Sparrow racing).

• Petra Venj now accepts Etheric Light for reputation.
• The vendors of the 3 factions and Eris now accept “certain planetary materials for reputation.” (that would be the Worm Spore, for example).
• Year 1 ships can now be included in the reward packages of the 3 Tower factions.
• And a lot of tweaks have been made to the Crucible maps and some existing exotic armors have been slightly changed: The duration of the Golden Gun’s activity has been reduced for the Achylophage Symbiote; the Handcuffs of Nothing have had the tracking of the Scatter grenades reduced, and in “No Plan B” the shotgun-activated barrier only works for Defender Titans.
