Significant transformations are underway for Bungie and Destiny 2 as they prepare for the launch of Heresy, the final Episode that sets the stage for the upcoming Frontiers expansion later this year. The Heresy chapter has already made a positive impact on the game’s community and, as the latest Bungie livestream indicates, an array of exciting content will soon be available. Players can anticipate not just the Guardian Games and the introduction of a boss-rush mode, but also the Court of Blades Dreadnaught activity, an engaging new PvP mode, and the highly anticipated Rite of the Nine event. Mark your calendars; March 11 promises to be a pivotal date for Destiny 2.
Following the successful engagement of Heresy Act 1, Bungie has launched the annual Moments of Triumph mini-event, allowing players to complete challenges in anticipation of the fresh content arriving with Heresy Act 2, scheduled for release in just three short days.
Confirmed Features and Additions in Destiny 2’s Heresy Act 2
The array of new content arriving with Act 2 is impressive, particularly anticipating the even-bigger offering in Act 3. The following highlights have been confirmed:
- New story missions inspired by “whispers”from beyond the veil, likely hinting at Eris Morn’s involvement.
- The exciting Court of Blades activity, featuring roguelike modifiers reminiscent of The Nether.
- A diverse lineup of five new weapons:
- Anamnesis (Void bow)
- Mirror Imago (Strand SMG)
- Refusal of the Call (Strand glaive)
- Division (Arc sidearm)
- Afterlight (Void fusion rifle)
- Two Exotic Catalysts for Destiny 2’s Barrow-Dyad SMG.
- A new column of Artifact mods, including Overload Trace Rifles and Elemental Siphon.
- The upcoming Guardian Games event will bring new weapons and armor along with the much-anticipated boss-rush mode.
Gameplay Enhancements in Destiny 2’s Heresy Act 2
The gameplay enhancements introduced in Heresy Act 2 are notably promising. The Court of Blades draws inspiration from the Court of Oryx but provides a quicker loop compared to The Nether. Bungie has emphasized that this activity is predominantly about relentless combat and rewarding players for their skills, offering a refreshing change of tempo.
Heresy is set to expand the arsenal with five new weapons, boasting some impressive specs. Among these, the Refusal of the Call glaive stands out as the first Strand glaive in the game, featuring exceptional perk combinations such as Replenishing Aegis and Sword Logic. Players will also have the chance to obtain the initial two of four Exotic Catalysts for Barrow-Dyad, alongside the option for Target Lock to significantly increase damage output.
Moreover, the introduction of five powerful Artifact mods could provide additional synergy with existing builds. For instance, Arc Warlocks have the potential for an overpowered setup utilizing Geomag Stabilizers to gain more Super energy and augmenting Chaos Reach damage with Coldheart’s unique mechanics for generating Ionic Traces. This setup can gain further effectiveness through mods like Beam Medic, which heals on kills, and Harsh Refraction for enhanced damage, whilst also allowing for augmented Super damage with Limit Break.
Anticipated Highlights for Guardian Games 2025 in Destiny 2
Concluding Act 2 is the exciting Guardian Games, designed to cultivate a competitive spirit across all three Guardian classes. This year’s event not only includes loot from previous editions but also features the introduction of a new Arc trace rifle named Keraunios, equipped with notable perks such as the new Detonator Beam. Furthermore, the 2025 Guardian Games will add a boss-rush mode, reminiscent of Destiny 2’s popular Pantheon, likely appealing to a broad audience of players.
