In Destiny , players have found a way to take down the hardest enemy in the game, Oryx in Hard Mode, more easily. Is this intended by Bungie?

A bit of cheese in the raid?

The US website Polygon discusses “cheese” in Destiny in an article. These were and are tactics used by players to easily clear the final bosses.

Atheon could be pushed off his platform, while Crota required the host of the game to pull the LAN cable, and the Dark One would immediately drop to its knees and weep bitterly. Clearly for Polygon: Back then, Destiny was still in its infancy, these bugs were simply overlooked.

The current raid “King’s Fall” is said to be much more polished: Such strange exploits do not exist… except for one.

Normal or “no knights”? How do you want your Oryx?

Of all things, Oryx, the boss of the raid, could be made considerably easier if one simply decides to kill the ogres late in each phase. Because while the “normal method” has the ogres fought immediately, triggering the spawn of knights who fight over the critical bombs with the players, the “no knights” strategy suggests dealing damage to Oryx first and then taking out the 4 ogres all at once.

The “normal” strategy, the ogres are killed immediately, then the knights:

Polygon sees a “great advantage” in this tactic because the strategy with the knights also eliminates an important skill check and an equipment check, as many Destiny players simply had too weak gear in recent weeks to kill the knights quickly enough amid all the chaos.

On the other hand, Polygon believes that the “no knights” methods also have their disadvantages because the ogres present a dangerous chaotic element that followers of the “normal strategy” do not have to deal with. Because the ogres are taken out immediately. If players had better equipment, this tactic would gradually fall out of fashion, they believe, because the normal one is clearer and less reliant on chance with better gear.

The “No Knights” strategy:

In any case, it is not a cheese. If Bungie has something against the strategy, then they need to patch it.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , Bungie’s plan with the DLCs is working perfectly. Players are buying Silver like crazy.

“If you see the emotes, you’ll be throwing money against the monitor“, Luke Smith said back then regarding the emotes from the Collector’s Edition. A few months later, what many were so upset about back then is coming true.

Players saw the 18 new emotes in Destiny and they threw money against the monitor. This can now be deduced from the statistics of the PlayStation Store.

Top 5 Add-Ons firmly in Destiny’s hands

All three Silver packages are in the top 5 of the best-selling add-ons on PlayStation systems in the last 7 days, reports Game Informer. During this time, the Halloween event at Bungie was active – for that, players could also spend Silver.

The best-selling add-ons in the PlayStation Store are almost entirely in Destiny’s hands. At number 1 is the add-on “The Taken King”, followed by the medium and large Silver packages, then comes briefly Minecraft, and the smallest 500 Silver package rounds out the top 5.

A quick check in the PlayStation Store over the past 30 days shows a similar picture. Here, the top 1-4 are all Destiny, four times Silver, twice for PS3, twice for PS4.

The message seems clear: The Destiny players are accepting the cash shop and spending money on virtual items.

What does this mean for the future of Destiny?

Destiny recently introduced the cash shop. It was implemented just on October 13, two and a half weeks ago.

So far, it is unclear how this fits into Bungie’s long-term plans. Has an additional source of income simply been opened up here? Or will the rumors come true and the DLCs replace the disappointing 20-Euro DLCs from last year?

At the moment, there is no information about Bungie’s future plans. We do not know whether they will continue to plan larger, paid DLCs or if content, as some sources report, will be released for free in the future. There seems to be enough money now …

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the weekly PvP event Trials of Osiris is now live. The first rewards are also clear.

The Trials of Osiris started, as announced, at 6 PM in Destiny. The map by Bungie’s grace is Bannerfall. Here, teams will face each other until Tuesday.

At the moment, much is still uncertain, and we will update the article when we know more. We have outlined the fundamental changes compared to earlier in this article.

• The “Boons”, the buffs for the Trials of Osiris, can be purchased directly at the ticket. However, this must happen before the first match.
• So far known: The equipment that drops is at the level of the Oryx Raid (normal). So between 300 and 310. Although there are sporadic reports of higher values (above 310).

• Apparently, players receive all the same loot or the same loot type at certain “milestones”. Several reported that they received “all boots” or all weapons after a winning match.
• It seems that the Trials of Osiris weapons that were found in the database are indeed the items players will receive. Dataminers found 9 weapons – one for each type. The 4 primary weapons were also available in the “Master” form as in Year 1. Each class also has its own armor set consisting of 4 parts. Whether this all holds true remains to be seen.

• 

  The first players have flawlessly succeeded in the Trials of Osiris. Again, it was on the Lighthouse on Mercury. Here is one of the “special” rewards that were available there – a master weapon, a scout rifle with increased aim assist and fully automatic, but “only” with a 310 attack value. His two teammates received weapons with 314 and 315 – plus the emblem.

  

• There are also some reports of 310+ exotics from the silver reward. However, some are said to pull “ethereal light” from there – the variance seems to be between elated and utterly disappointed.
• You cannot buy items directly from Brother Vance. There are “only” bounties, where three of them provide the “mystery packages” of earlier in bronze, silver, and gold tier. There could certainly be attractive rewards in there. You can sometimes access them without needing to win.

These are the lucrative bounties from Brother Vance in Destiny

Brother Vance’s bounties include:

• Collect 5 assists – here you get the bronze reward
• Revive 5 teammates – another bronze reward
• Win 2 rounds in a row – 25 legendary marks
• Kill 5 enemies while both teammates are alive – 25 legendary marks
• Earn 75 points in the Trials (wins count for 3, losses and ties 1 point per round) – additionally, you must win a round flawlessly without anyone dying – the silver reward
• Complete 10 Trials – defeat 75 enemies in the fireteam – and here you get the gold reward

Farming Strange Coins in Destiny – how is it done these days?

Bungie has been stingy with strange coins lately. The prices at Xur have gone up, the Three of Coins are so appealing and it has become increasingly difficult to earn coins through recent patches. They have throttled the supply. Many are wondering: “How do you farm strange coins in Destiny?”

The short answer is: Just play the game. But there is also a longer one.

The “normal methods” to quickly farm strange coins

Strange coins come from a variety of activities, often as a kind of “consolation prize.” Here are all the “typical” activities that you do for other reasons and where strange coins can drop (but not must).

• The weekly Nightfall strike and completing the weekly Crucible loot both have a chance for Strange Coins – if it’s the main reward, you can get two-digit amounts here
• In reward boxes you receive from reputation gains from factions, from the Cryptarch, Banshee-44, and others, there can be strange coins
• There are up to 3 strange coins after the end of a Crucible match or after completing a strike
• There is a chance for random strange coins after the completion of a Vanguard or Crucible loot
• There is also a chance when decoding blue engrams

In the video, a YouTuber tests how many Strange Coins can be earned in an hour. Two lessons: The Prison of Elders with Treasure Keys is worth it; all other methods are extremely random-dependent

The “special methods” to quickly get strange coins in TTK

Clean out the Prison of Elders again?

The Prison of Elders is currently considered a kind of insider tip to get strange coins. You need Treasure Keys for that, as you should be able to open the big chest in the treasure room. Sometimes there are 3 Strange Coins inside. No matter at what level you tackle the Prison of Elders. The 28 version is therefore recommended. Some suggest to also use the “Three of Coins”.

Question mark missions as a reliable income source?

YouTuber Datto also recommends completing the mysterious Patrol missions in Destiny. They randomly appear when you do normal Patrol missions in an area. These are the ones with question marks, where you have to figure out what the actual task is. According to Datto, these question mark missions are a reliable method to obtain strange coins.

It is clear: Compared to earlier, there is no longer a golden path to obtain strange coins today. Those who want to farm them must either play a lot or specifically pilgrimage back to the Prison of Elders and clean it out. But even this method has downsides: Here, treasure keys must be procured.
