And let’s not forget about Charged with Light , arguably the most useful set of armor mods for endgame content. Taking Charge—a mod that grants Charged with Light stacks upon grabbing an Orb of Power—has been a staple for almost every endgame build in Destiny. Protective Light synergizes with Taking Charge to give endgame builds some much-needed survivability. Grenade builds typically use Firepower and this mod to have constant grenade charges. Even Crucible builds use Taking Charge to activate High-Energy Fire, reducing the TTK of most guns. Every build that uses Taking Charge will need yet another mod for this interaction to function. For some players, that’s a big ask.

As the subject of the newest expansion, The Witch Queen, Savathun is the Hive God of cunning and deception. However, guardians have known for quite some time what a major threat she poses to the entire Destiny unive

Most of these Triumphs are pretty time-intensive and require many hours of playtime. If you're someone who isn't dissuaded by a lengthy grind or wants something to tide them over until Witch Queen, chasing the MMXXI title isn't a bad idea. Let's go over all of the Triumphs tied to this title and how best to complete them. Bear in mind that this title has 30 Triumphs in total. Use the table of contents above to jump to a specific Triumph you're struggling w

Destiny 2's Moments of Triumph event brings with it a new title for players to chase each year. This year, Guardians will have to delve into Europa and seasonal content to obtain the MMXXI title, arguably the hardest Moments of Triumph title Bungie has made thus

Helmets are about to suffer the same fate as arms, arguably worse. While most arm mods give minor buffs in PvE, helmet mods include ammo finders that bypass Destiny’s otherwise random ammo economy. Most players run two ammo finders in PvE, but now they’ll be forced to use one if they want to take advantage of Charged with Light or other Orb mods. Crucible players will need to forgo targeting mods altogether if they want their Primary and Special weapons to spawn Orbs.

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

An additional change Bungie announced is the reduced cost of changing the elemental affinity of Masterworked armor. If you want to change the element of your helmet from Arc to Void, it’ll only cost some Glimmer and an Upgrade Module. This alone is a great change, but veteran players like myself wonder if this is the Monkey’s Paw at work.

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 2 strategy for nearly a year: mod bloat.

Lucky Fireteams have the chance to get up to three extra chests after defeating their final boss by completing Lightning Rounds. Lightning Rounds are bonus rounds given at random at the end of any Dares of Eternity round and once again involve defusing mines. The mines spawn much quicker with a shorter countdown till detention, and instead of fallen enemies, players will have to face many Taken enemies, including several Major Ogres. Destiny 2's new stasis sword, the Zephyr , is useful in controlling and slowing these Ogres down. Defusing all the mines will earn the fireteam three extra chests on top of the chest received for completing the activity, maximizing their possible l

Shax is a powerful titan with a heart of gold, putting himself on the line time and time again for The Last City. He and his fireteam successfully turned the tides of the Battle of Six Fronts, thus saving the city from certain death. Despite his cheery demeanor, it's clear from the lore that he is not a guardian to be messed w

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.

What good is a buff when it doesn't do anything? For your Charged with Light stacks to give any sort of benefit, you're going to need mods that consume Charged with Light stacks. These mods will say as much in their description. Some common mods in this category incl
