In the MMO shooter Destiny there are items that can only be obtained from bosses in certain strikes. Which ones are they?

Update: Here you can find all strike-specific items since “Rise of Iron.”

In Destiny, the developers have been brainstorming lately, trying out new ideas. They want to limit the role of randomness when it comes to what items players receive.

Therefore, they rely on quests, provide guardians with class-specific exotics, and experiment with infusion instead of rerolling fresh mechanics.

One of the new ideas from Destiny: Specific items drop only from bosses in strikes. Which ones are they? What can you expect? We can already reveal this much: There are six weapons and some really good-looking armor pieces!

These strike-exclusive items in Destiny for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One likely cater to players’ desire to “be special” and “have items that not everyone has.”

It’s not even that hard to get the items. You don’t even have to play the highest versions of the strikes to obtain the specific items. However: The items come with randomly selected attributes. There is no rerolling like before. To get a truly useful version of an item, you will probably need to go into the strikes more often and rely on luck.

In the MMO shooter Destiny there is a way to improve items through Infusion by dismantling other items. Through Infusion, players increase their Light.

The mechanic of sacrificing items to strengthen or feed others is called “Infusing” or “Infusion” in Destiny. This was newly introduced with The Taken King.

This mechanic is important for later increasing in Light level. With Infusion, you can still get something good out of items that you would otherwise delete. And you can actually take items that are too weak but that you like to the maximum level.

Infusion is important for achieving a higher Light level and you can obtain a unique gear this way. Through this mechanic, all exotic and legendary weapons and armor pieces from Year 2 in Destiny can reach the maximum value of 310.

This is how Infusion works in Destiny

The basics are clear:

• You sacrifice an item with a higher attack value (weapons) – or defense value (everything else) to help a weaker item reach a higher attack or defense value.
• Beneficiaries of such infusions can only be legendary or exotic items that have the property to do so, which all TTK items have.
• Rare (blue), legendary (purple), and exotic (gold) items can be “sacrificed.” They must be “unlocked,” in your inventory, and they must have a higher value than the item you want to strengthen.

• The item that is “sacrificed” and the one that is “fed” must fit into the same item slot: Chest armors feed chest armors, primary weapons strengthen primary weapons. It does not matter whether the Guardian can use the item: A Hunter can also feed Titan armor.
• In addition to the weapon or armor piece itself that is being sacrificed, you also need some items such as weapon parts (weapons), armor parts (for everything else), Glimmer (always), Light particles (legendary items), legendary marks (always), or exotic shards (exotic items). This depends on the item that is to be strengthened.

How much stronger does a weapon or armor piece become when Infusing in Destiny?

There is still debate about the exact formula. That is where some nuances still need to be worked out.

Currently, it is assumed that legendary items become 80% of the difference to the sacrificed item stronger (if you feed a 300 weapon with a 310 item, a 308 weapon results). However, exotic items become only 70% stronger (they would only reach 307 in the example). Thus, the Light increases through Infusion.

If the difference between two items is only 6, the item to be strengthened gets the full value. However, that is still somewhat in doubt.

Some say: For Exotics, the difference may only be 4 for the maximum value. Others say it has to do with whether the weapon that is sacrificed is upgraded or not.

This video describes the Infusion of special weapons with the Black Spindle, as it comes with 300 attack value from the weapon blueprints, you can easily get any special weapon up to 300 – that is supposed to be fixed soon:

In the MMO shooter Destiny , players have discovered a secret room in the Kingsfall raid. However, they have no idea how they got there or how to proceed from there.

In the night from yesterday to today, strange events occurred in Destiny again.

The community has found secrets in the Destiny raid

We remember: Since the Black Spindle was found on a daily mission, half of the community has been in a frenzy: Everywhere they smell secrets. The developers encouraged players to walk in Indy’s footsteps, hinting that there is still a lot hidden, directing players’ attention to the raid.

Now Brazilian Guardians have indeed found a secret room in the raid that looks entirely like “secret.”

We neither know how we got here nor what we are supposed to do here

The spicy part: How the room opens is still not clear to anyone at the moment. What can be done in the secret room is also unclear. And how to proceed from there is completely a mystery.

In the Hive ship, 6 pylons need to be lit in the correct order at a specific spot. In some configuration, they open the door to a room. Players are putting their long-time Bungie expertise on the table, saying: This must have something to do with the 7! It was the same in Halo 3; you had to play the theme song… but no one really knows for sure.

If that is somehow accomplished, a Blade Dancer with the sword has to perform a complicated jump glitch to get into this room. Then platforms form, and other players can now enter the secret room.

In the secret room itself, a relic spawns that can be “dunked” just like in the rest of the raid. If you do that 6 times, the players receive an Overcharge; beyond that, nothing more is known.

The US fan site Planet-Destiny has made a video summarizing what is known. They shrugged and said: This is as far as we have come. If you have any ideas on how to proceed, let us know. If more people gather data, we might solve the mystery as a community faster.

Update: The secret sequence seems to have been figured out, at least according to a poster on Reddit. For PlayStation: 165243. For Xbox: 416523.

What does all this mean? Is the room even finished? Is it intended for Guardians to find it? We don’t know.

What we do know: There are 3 chests in the raid that have already been found and are findable. In this article, you will learn where they are.
