by Sean Martin

Trying to work out what you need to do before The Final Shape arrives? Bungie has put out a lot of info over the past few weeks about tweaks to weapons and various systems that are getting retired with the new expansion. It's hard to keep track of exactly what's staying and what's going away when year seven of Destiny 2 kicks off... Read more.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape's wild new reality-bending Strike mission is full of lava, lost cities and dragon guts

by Phil Savage

s a long-time Destiny 2 player, it's the new systems of next week's expansion, The Final Shape, that have been occupying my brainspace. The buildcrafting potential of the new Prismatic subclass; the sandbox impact of the nerf on Well of Radiance—that kind of thing. But in a recent hands-off demo, Bungie gave a tour through the other part of a Destiny 2 expansion: the intriguing new destination... Read more.

Bungie wins its Destiny 2 cheat maker court case, taking home five figure chump change while potentially setting a bad precedent

by

Bungie has now won its lawsuit against Destiny 2 cheat sellers AimJunkies/ Phoenix Digital, though it's not much of a win. Earlier this week, the trial between Bungie and cheat sellers AimJunkies began, and as reported by Stephen Totilo, it was a win for the Destiny 2 developer. This was a pretty landmark case, as it might be the first time a jury, in the US at the very least, has ruled on a game cheating case. The result has led to Bungie receiving a measly (for it, anyway) $63,210 in damages, obviously not a huge sum, but it is just the amount that Bungie will have supposedly lost due to the cheat-selling. Important to note is that in most cases cheat sellers/ makers just give up when developers impose legal pressures on them, as going up against big companies can obviously be a huge financial risk, but as reported by Totilo at Game File, AimJunkie/ Phoenix Digital actually counter-sued Bungie, themselves alleging that the developer had accessed the person who allegedly violated Bung...

Bungie wins a little walkin' around money in first of its kind jury trial against Destiny 2 cheat maker, but the victory will likely make it even easier for game companies to keep taking cheaters to court

by Ted Litchfield

First reported by independent journalist and former Kotaku editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo, Bungie has won its lawsuit against cheat maker Phoenix Digital (also known as AimJunkies). The first of its kind jury trial rewarded $63,210 in damages to Bungie⁠—a rounding error for a company of this size⁠—but it more importantly sets a new legal precedent supporting game studios looking to sue cheat makers⁠—or, more worryingly, anyone who violates a company's copyright by modifying its games...

Keith David speaks his first words as Destiny 2's Commander Zavala: 'I used to think I'd give anything to bring him back'

by Andy Chalk

The untimely death of Lance Reddick in 2023 was felt throughout the entertainment world. For Destiny 2 fans, the loss was especially acute: Reddick had provided the voice of Commander Zavala, Vanguard Commander of the Last City, since the release of the original Destiny in 2014. The character's fate in the wake of Reddick's passing was unclear at first, but Bungie opted to keep him around, with Keith David, another widely-respected character actor, stepping in to fill the role...

Destiny 2 Edge Transit god roll guide: Best perks, barrels, and magazines

by Phil Savage

Back in the Forsaken days, Edge Transit was a Destiny 2 meme—a decidedly mid grenade launcher that just would not stop dropping from engrams. Today, Bungie is having the last laugh, because Into the Light's reissued Edge Transit is an absolute monster. Right now, it's basically tied with Cataphract GL3 as the best heavy grenade launcher in the game. But two things give it the slight edge. First, when The Final Shape launches next month, all Brave Arsenal weapons will become enhanceable—making them even better than they are now. Second, unlike Cataphract, you don't have to play Trials of Osiris to get it... Read more.

Destiny 2 is finally nerfing its most broken ult, but as a Warlock main I fear my teammates will still want to crutch on it

by Tim Clark

Have you ever had your teammates bully you into running a particular loadout for their benefit? Everyone who plays Warlock in Destiny 2 knows the feeling. Back in 2018, the Forsaken expansion added a new Solar super called Well of Radiance, and in team-based activities we've been forced to run it ever since. When you pop this ult, the Warlock slams a flaming sword into the ground which forms a glowing pool around it for 20 seconds... Read more.

by Sean Martin

So you've just unlocked Outbreak Perfected by completing the newly returned Zero Hour exotic mission in Destiny 2 , but now you need to tackle the Outbreak Refined quests to unlock its brand new perks.

Destiny 2 The Recluse god roll guide: Best perks, barrels, and magazines

by Phil Savage

Once upon a time, The Recluse was the best primary weapon in Destiny 2. Its signature perk, Master of Arms, was so powerful that it became one of the main reasons weapon sunsetting happened back in the Beyond Light days. It was an iconic part of the Forsaken era, and thus an obvious choice for Bungie to reissue with the Into the Light update. It now joins the Brave Arsenal with an extra origin perk attached, so is it even more powerful than before?.. Read more.
