Everything to do as a returning player in Destiny 2

The recent release of Destiny 2 Into the Light marks the game’s largest update since the debut of Lightfall, which is understandable given the postponement of The Final Shape. Acting as a connection between the present and the ultimate launch, Bungie successfully built excitement within the community for upcoming updates. As a result, numerous veteran players have returned to explore the fresh content.

The purpose of this article is to provide guidance for any Destiny 2 player who is returning to the game, including details on the current meta and all necessary preparations for The Final Shape.

Recommended Purchases for Returning Players in Destiny 2

As a returning player who has not kept up with Destiny 2 since before Lightfall, there are several options available to you. With Into the Light about to go live on the official servers, there is no need to spend 100 dollars on the “Lightfall + Annual Pass”edition.

Due to time constraints, it will not be possible to clear all seasonal content across four entries before they disappear on June 4. If you are looking to only experience the expansion’s offerings, such as the new subclass, Neomuna open world, Root of Nightmares Raid, and more, it is recommended to do so before the scheduled disappearance date.

By opting to start with the free Into the Light update, you can forgo buying anything and still fulfill your desire for top-notch weapons. Moreover, it will aid in catching up to the Pinnacle cap.

Finally, when it comes to buying items from the past, it is suggested that you wait for a sale and use your money to purchase any expansions that you still need.

Exploring the Elements and Abilities of Destiny 2 Subclass 3.0

Players who have stopped playing the game since the release of Beyond Light or even earlier will notice a considerable difference in the Light subclass screen. With various Aspects and Fragments to choose from across all three elements, there is a plethora of options for creating unique builds, making multiple Exotics viable in the current meta.

To become familiar with 3.0, it is recommended to read the in-game descriptions of every Aspect and Fragment. Bungie has done a commendable job in providing detailed descriptions of the various buffs, debuffs, and other elements of a subclass within the game.

In summary, the Aspect is the primary catalyst for the elemental subclass and offers useful functions. Conversely, Fragments are minor enhancements that boost attributes like Mobility and Discipline, as well as assist in optimizing builds based on your weapons and mods.

Revamped Seasonal Artifacts: Perks Take Over Mods in Destiny 2

Previously, players were required to unlock mods from seasonal Artifacts and equip them in armor pieces. However, this is no longer necessary. Now, players only need to unlock the mods once by accumulating EXP. These mods, which are now referred to as passive perks, will buff various aspects of a build on the player’s account.

For instance, once a player unlocks the “Anti Barrier Bow”perk, it will be permanently reserved for whenever they use a Bow. This means that the perk will automatically activate without the need for a separate mod to be equipped.

Acquiring All Exotic Armor in Destiny 2: A Comprehensive Guide

Bungie has recently released new Exotic armor pieces for every seasonal entry, catering to all three classes. To obtain these armor pieces, here is a list of available actions you can take now:

• Supernumerary Blitz Public event in Neomuna. Requires Lightfall expansion
• Legend and Master Lost Sectors. Look for purple
• Riven’s Token missions from Season of the Wish. Requires Lightfall + Annual Pass

Owning an Exotic armor piece for your builds is essential, therefore, begin by deciding on your desired build and then obtaining the necessary armor through farming.
