Including all content from Curse of Osiris in the base game might have helped ease some of the end-game pains that the launch brought with it. It’s not too much more to do, but it might have smoothed over a few wrinkles by including that extra content. It would also have made the loot pool larger; maybe Guardians wouldn’t be as frustrated at the limited item sets, lackluster exotics and other cosmetics. Giving more isn’t always the best idea, but in this case, it could have been.The other ill fe...

While not able to pull a fireteam together that initial first day, something I’ve managed to do with all other raids in the past, I was content to watch others attempt this beast of a raid. It was exciting to see the first fireteam complete it in just six hours and reassuring. Then talks began to crop up and not the good kind. Here were the best of the best saying that it would take everything in a fireteam's power to pull off this raid. And why? Apparently because it was the most demanding raid...

The European Dead Zone is a dramatic change from the Cosmodrome. While the Cosmodrome was mostly fields dotted with wrecked planes and boats, the EDZ is a quaint European village overtaken by a lush forest. With more verticality and unique architecture, the EDZ gives off a strong first impression.Hardcore Gamer went hands-on with the PS4 and PC versions of the upcoming game and if what we played is anything to go by, Bungie may have a real winner. While Destiny 2 may not change the minds of thos...

With Destiny 2 is quickly approaching, everyone going in should have a decent understanding of the plot. Maybe you played through the first game and don’t remember what happened or decided to skip it entirely; well we have a general breakdown of what happened previously on Destiny. Before getting into events that transpired throughout the course of the relatively short-storied campaign, let's give a little bit of background regarding the world.Getting back to the main story, though, you kill one...

There’s no real choices and trade-offs to be made anymore. The same goes for the rest of the game. The in-depth and often rewarding dialogue trees are gone, replaced with options that boil down to whether or not the player character is going to be either nice or sarcastic nice. There are no karma checks, no skill checks, no special checks, nor even long and interesting conversations to be had. Dialogue might as well just be there because previous Fallout games had it. The list could go on, but i...

For game modes, the vast majority of game modes from the original game are back, alongside two new modes: Survival and Countdown. Survival gives each team a shared-pool of eight lives. Once that depletes, permadeath kicks in. The last team standing wins. Countdown is Destiny 2 tips 2’s take on Search and Destroy. The attacking team attempts to plant a bomb, and the defending team must either defuse it or kill the entire team before it detonates. The first team to five victories wins.There are a ...

One of the biggest questions around Destiny 2 is if Activision and Bungie are doing enough to fix what is an extremely wonky machine, and if so, can it be saved? Destiny 2 does have a dedicated fan base, but even that has hit a low point compared to when Destiny found itself going through these same woes, just with less grief, which makes sense. Destiny isn't perfect and it came a long way from when it launched, but many of the problems in Destiny 2 didn't exist for Destiny. In many ways Destiny...

The first chest can be found right after you descend into the loot cave. The first Hive Acolyte you fight will be near a small metal structure. The raised platform on this structure has the chest you need. To open it, damage the Vandal major at the opposite end of the cave.

It was Bungie’s strategy of bundling older seasons into a Digital Deluxe version of Beyond Light that made my friend immediately disinterested. They felt forced to pay for conte...

Bungie has the perfect opportunity to fix these issues with the Void 3.0 rework that’s coming with The Witch Queen . Nightstalker is one of the Hunter’s best PvE subclasses, so this rework will either make or break Hunters for the foreseeable future. There’s a chance to revitalize the Hunter with some unique mechanics that set it apart from the other Void subclasses. But this is also a chance for Bungie to homogenize all of the classes even further with class-agnostic Fragments and buffs. For th...

From slaying the Hive God Oryx, defeating Ghaul, unlocking the secrets of the Dreaming City, and many other accomplishments, it's quite obvious that no character comes close to the power of The Guardian. No matter what challenges exist throughout history or in the years to come, there's no doubt that The Guardian will find a way to overcome t Heavy Handed: Using your melee ability will refund 50% energy, consuming one stack of Charged with Light. Its secondary bonus grants ammo to Fusion Rifles ...

Quickdraw and Snapshot Sights is a perennial favorite combination of dedicated Crucible snipers, but you can also go for Firmly Planted in the first column or Moving Target in the second. In PvE content, Triple Tap is a must, but the second column lacks High Impact Reserves or Vorpal to make 1000 Yard Stare into a real boss kil Triumph Master is completed upon reaching a high Triumph score of 15,000 or higher. The "Triumphs" tab of your inventory will state how much Triumph score you've earned o...
