With Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion approaching, players are advised to prepare by increasing their Power level, playing the new Onslaught activity, unlocking Brave weapons, obtaining the Superblack Shader, collecting Holofoil weapons, completing exotic missions, participating in the Pantheon mode, spending Legendary Shards, gathering Phantasmal Fragments, and claiming free Bright Dust from Eververse before the expansion's release on June 4.
In Destiny 2's Onslaught mode, players can heal their decoys and turrets by throwing ADU batteries at them, despite it not being an intended mechanic. This bug allows players to save runs by keeping their defenses at full health, although it's recommended to prioritize using the batteries for ADU healing. While there are no visible health bars on turrets, decoys will flash red when they are about to die, indicating that they can be healed with the batteries.
Destiny 2's mid-season content drop, Into the Light, has surpassed the player count of previous launches on Steam, drawing in 134,000 players. The free Onslaught activity and its rewards, along with a successful reveal stream, have contributed to its popularity, despite being developed on a short timetable and amidst internal challenges at Bungie.
Destiny 2's upcoming Into the Light content showcases a shift in vibe for the game, offering a horde mode, reprised classic weapons, the return of popular missions, a raid boss rush, and three new PvP maps. Despite complaints about reused content and past decisions like sunsetting, the presentation and variety of content have generated hope and excitement among players, signaling a potential turnaround for the game.
Destiny 2 developer Bungie has announced Onslaught, a new horde mode set to arrive on 9th April as part of the game's Into the Light update. Onslaught is a three-person wave-based activity set on familiar Crucible maps, where players defend a war asset from damage and can place defensive options between waves. It will offer a 10-wave option and a harder 50-wave Challenge mode with rotating locations and boss waves. The update aims to keep players engaged until the delayed The Final Shape expansion arrives in June, following recent challenges faced by Bungie.
Bungie's livestream revealed details about Destiny 2's new horde mode, Onslaught, featuring a wave-based gameplay with 10 waves in an easier playlist and 50 waves for harder modes, set in a pyramid-ed version of Midtown. The activity is defended by a central point called an ADU, with optional objectives and rewards. The mode will start on April 9 and run through The Final Shape, and is free for everyone.
