Destiny 2 News

Bungie has acted as quick as ever to patch an exploit in Destiny 2's private Crucible matches and, while the developer hasn't explicitly said what the issue was, players are pretty sure it has something to do with a specific AFK loot farm...

Hi. There's an expansion coming out this week. It's called Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and you probably haven't heard much about it. Anyway, within a day of the reviews of it coming out ahead of its arrival on June 21, it's casually become the highest rated game of 2024 and the highest rated DLC ever among critics on Metacritic.

I could run a Cyst activity to collect more of the item needed to unlock the last few Fragments of the new Prismatic subclass. Or I could matchmake into Overthrow, the new patrol event. Completing it gives another drop of the exotic sword Ergo Sum, which randomly rolls perks taken from other exotic weapons. I really want a version with Wolfpack Rounds—essentially a Gjallarhorn, but for swords...

Destiny 2's new exotic mission, Dual Destiny, has been weirdly controversial despite being, as PCG UK editor-in-chief Phil Savage says, the best exotic mission Bungie has made in years. Dual Destiny requires two players to work in tandem, communicating to solve puzzles like they're in a diet mini raid. The consensus, though, seems to be that Dual Destiny is worth the LFG hassle if you don't have any buddies to queue with...
