Bungie's 30th Anniversary Pack for **Destiny 2 patch notes 2 ** introduced plenty of new activities and loot for players to dive into. The DLC added a new 6-player activity, usually reserved for the beginning of new seasons, called the ' Dares of Eternity .' The Dares of Eternity is less of a story-driven activity and more of a fun loot-driven activity that seems like Destiny's version of __ Wheel of Fortune. The new activity also ties into the game's new social space and NPC's in 'Xur's Treasure Hoard.' The social hub is where players will level their 'Strange Favor' with Xur and start the quest to get Destiny 2 's Forerunner exotic sidea
What’s truly baffling is how these seasons could have been purchased individually, but only when first active. If you wanted to buy Season of the Chosen when it was active, it was only $10. Now? You need to spend $70 if you don’t own Beyond Light, and $30 if you do. When Bungie announced that seasons would be sold à la carte, the community was excited. Getting your friends into Destiny was going to be so much easier since you didn't need to buy three expansions and a year of seasons to let them play with you. Unfortunately, that couldn't have been further from the truth.
The Dares of Eternity resembles fan favorite 6-player activities like The Menagerie from the Season of Opulence or the Sundial from Season of the Dawn. Xur is the go-to NPC, where players can get bounties that can only be completed in the activity. In addition, exclusive emotes, items, universal ornaments, and shaders can be earned through completing various triumphs in the 30th Anniversary triumph tab. Xur's treasure Hoard also houses the Starhorse NPC, which sells players Dare bounties with a high XP payout upon completion, but they can only be bought using 'Strange Coins.' Strange Coins are earned upon completion of the Dares of Eternity activity and earned by killing special mini-bosses within the activity. Players will also earn treasure keys using the same methods for earning Strange Coins; these keys can be used to open the treasure chests at Xur's treasure hoard, which will earn players classic Halo -themed weapons for Destiny
In a recent This Week at Bungie blog post , Bungie revealed that Masterworked weapons would no longer generate Orbs of Power. Instead, players will now have to install an armor mod on their helmet to re-enable this functionality on some __ guns, determined by damage type. Does your loadout use Void and Solar weapons? You’ll need to give up not one but two mod slots in your build. Like using Kinetic weapons too? Enjoy the compromise. While this does allow Exotics without catalysts the ability to generate Orbs, this change perpetuates an issue that’s been plaguing Destiny for nearly a year: mod bloat.
With Season of Dawn, guardians learned that Saint-14 has spent countless years bouncing from timeline to timeline, absolutely decimating once-unstoppable Vex minds. Through the inspiration of The Guardian, Saint-14 pushed back their entire race until finally being pulled from the Infinite Forest. Without his might, there might not have been anything for him to come back
The only way to earn Strange Favor to rank up with Xur is to complete the Dares of Eternity activity. Players looking to earn the catalyst for the new Forerunner exotic sidearm will have to rank up to level 16 with Xur, meaning a fair amount of grinding will be required. Luckily, players will also be earning rolls of the new Halo -themed weapons in Destiny 2 , like the BXR-55 Battler Rif
Round 2 of Dares of Eternity acts the same way as round 1 but at a bigger scale with tougher enemies and a different chance for bonus loot. Although at the end of Round 2, a Taken Orge mini-boss has the chance to spawn instead of the regular enemy-type, this Orge will have the chance to drop extra Strange Coins, Treasure Keys, and activity loot upon its de
Destiny’s reliance on armor mods is starting to become an issue. It has been a growing pain that you need certain mods to even attempt endgame content—notably Protective Light and Champion mods. Champion mods always go on your arms, so the unique ability-centric mods that typically go there are seldom used. It’s hard to justify using Impact Induction when all endgame content has two Champion types present.
That’s one hell of a laundry list. Even if a newer player somehow has all of that , you’re going to need armor with enough upgrades to fit all of those mandatory mods. Unless you can Masterwork your armor—the reason you’d be running Master Nightfalls in the first place—you’ll also be limiting which weapons you can use since these Orb-generating mods only work for certain damage types. Unfortunately, that might not be the worst part of this change.
