Destiny 2 community unlocks Witcher-themed Adventurous Spirit emblem

Certainly, there are instances where the Destiny 2 community struggles to agree on certain things, but things just fall into place sometimes. Take, for example, Bungie’s latest The Witcher-themed mini-event, which has been completed in quite a short amount of time, actually. As part of its previous This Week in Destiny blog post, Bungie announced that it’d hold a special community event that officially kicked off at 12 AM PST, on January 25. From that point onwards, players would need to kill 7,777,777 enemies before a…

Destiny 2’s best shader is coming back in a limited capacity – Destructoid

Destiny 2 fashion aficionados, you have something to get pumped about before The Final Shape. That’s because, arguably, the best weapon shader is returning to the game via the upcoming Riven’s Wishes content. I’m talking about Twilight Keepsake, the matte black one. So, while you may have all the Starcats and every Wish-Keeper Catalyst, there’s still something to look forward to during the next expansion’s lengthy delay. It’s especially true for anyone who missed out on Twilight Keepsake the first and only other time it…

Destiny 2 fashion fans are causing a ruckus over some ‘edgy’ wizard armor

After last week’s vote on this year’s Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost armor designs, Bungie has already published the winning sets. By popular vote, we’ve got Evil Wizard Hunters and Warlocks, and Good Wizard Titans, but the fashion community is not at all thrilled with the results. For years now, Bungie has held seasonal votes for Destiny 2‘s Halloween Festival of the Lost events, allowing the community to decide which armor sets would eventually be made available. Naturally, not everyone is always thrilled with the…

Vote for your favorite Destiny 2 Wizard armor for Festival of the Lost

Riding the wave from highs to lows, it’s all too easy to forget that Destiny 2‘s live-service model is still trucking on regardless of any other happenstance. For example, consider this year’s Festival of the Lost, which once again allows players to vote on their favorite armor ahead of time. Last year’s Festival of the Lost featured some interesting novelties and one of the most coveted Mementos in the game, and while these features are currently expected to return this year, the spooky bug-themed armor voting will not.…

Destiny 2 will finally let you re-customize your Guardian

Destiny 2: The Final Shape simply whelmed players on the day of its showcasing, only to be followed by a bout of nasty layoffs and a release date pushback. Ahead of the DLC’s postponed release, however, Bungie managed to eke out some victories, such as the Guardian re-customization feature. Indeed, players will finally get the option to rebuild their Guardians in Destiny 2 sometime before the release of The Final Shape, and what’s particularly impressive is that it won’t cost a penny. Broadly infamous for its…

Bungie outlines a new set of Checkmate PvP changes for Destiny 2

It feels like Destiny 2 and Bungie are going through a never-ending torrent of struggles as of late, ranging in severity from downright catastrophic to mildly annoying. Somewhere closer to the annoying side of the scales falls the recent Checkmate PvP mode issues, which Bungie is now trying to alleviate. Notably, Bungie admitted in mid-December its relatively newfangled Checkmate multiplayer mode didn’t quite pan out. The community was so unhappy with it, in fact, that Bungie updated PvP to allow players to choose…

The best co-op games on PC

PCs were where multiplayer gaming began. While consoles stole the spotlight for a while by allowing multiple people to easily play on one system together, PCs have always taken the lead in providing players with the most options for multiplayer gaming. Most of the time, people come to PCs for competitive action, and there are a ton of options for those looking to go head-to-head in just about any genre imaginable, but there’s also a wealth of high-quality and unique experiences that focus on cooperation. PC gamers…

Destiny 2’s Dawning snowballs did not get fixed, after all

Destiny 2 and developer Bungie don’t have the best reputation with the MMO’s community right now, and that sentiment continues to pop up even in smaller ways. That rings true for this year’s Dawning event, too, as it seems Destiny’s snowball feature remains broken. More specifically, special throwable snowballs are a unique feature of Destiny 2‘s seasonal Dawning celebrations. Only appearing for a limited time, snowballs have an entire series of upgrades dedicated to them as part of the Dawning progression system, as…
