Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted Begins

The Leviathan has returned. For a few of you, this can be your introduction to the enduring planet-devouring private pleasure craft of the exiled Cabal emperor, Calus. For the remainder of you who’ve been aboard earlier than, we hope you’ve gotten fond reminiscences of its gleaming gold-plated halls, as a result of this ship has come again… improper. Very improper.

Season of the Haunted kicks off with the Derelict Leviathan getting into our photo voltaic system and heading straight for Earth’s moon. Because it grows close to, the dormant Pyramid ship on the Moon’s floor begins to react to its presence.

Getting nervous? We hope so, as a result of that is the place you are available in, Guardian.

Discover out why the Leviathan is again and what Calus needs with the Pyramid ship, all whereas going through off towards Nightmares from our previous. We extremely advise staying near your fireteam, not getting misplaced within the ship’s Underbelly, and specializing in constructive ideas about god-rolls and gleaming Opulent Chests.

Whereas this may be one of many spookier Seasons in Future 2’s historical past, Guardians have confronted off towards literal gods earlier than, so this shouldn’t be something you possibly can’t deal with.

Everyone seems to be invited to discover the Derelict Leviathan, which incorporates a number of areas crammed with Loyalist Cabal, Scorn, Nightmares, loot and collectibles. Moreover, there are two new actions in Season of the Haunted—additionally aboard the Leviathan. One is known as Nightmare Containment and might be performed without cost all Season lengthy, and one other named Sever which is unlocked (with a bunch of different cool stuff) by choosing up the Season Cross. No matter which exercise you play, anticipate finding your self severing Nightmares and looting new Seasonal rewards.

Nightmare Containment

In a departure from earlier Seasonal actions, Nightmare Containment is a very free public occasion that everybody can play. It’s additionally particular in that it scales primarily based on the quantity of people that take part. Gamers will be capable to provoke a brand new occasion throughout the public house or be a part of a Nightmare Containment in the event that they see one already in progress. Because it scales in issue, the enemies and summoned Nightmare bosses ought to at all times really feel appropriately difficult.

Sever

Sever is what we’re calling the weekly mission in Season of the Haunted. That is the place gamers will uncover an increasing number of about Calus’s plan because the Season unfolds. The exercise additionally takes place aboard the Leviathan, however inside a darkish labyrinth often called the Underbelly. Anybody acquainted with this space of the ship will probably keep in mind the navigation abilities it demanded, now think about that there’s additionally one thing at nighttime with you.

The exercise isn’t matchmade, however we don’t blame anybody who would somewhat deliver a pal… or two.

Now, regardless of the Leviathan shedding a few of its luster, the rewards in Season of the Haunted are simply as fancy as you’d anticipate. Probably even fancier!

• New Unique – Future 1’s Unique Sidearm, Trespasser, identified for its means to fireside Unrepentant rounds has been upgraded for Future 2 and has a brand new catalyst to connect. As with earlier Seasonal Exotics, you possibly can purchase this by taking part in or decide up the Season Cross and be one of many first individuals to introduce the Derelict Leviathan to the idea of lightning.
• Opulent weapons – Among the most coveted weapons from Calus’s assortment return and might be discovered within the Opulent Chests aboard the Leviathan. When in Rome.
• New Seasonal weapons and armor – New Nightmare-themed weapons and Seasonal armor units for Guardians courageous sufficient to go exploring on a mysterious planet-devouring vessel.
• New common ornaments – If you wish to put on one thing that may scare your fireteam greater than the enemies you’re preventing, it’s this. That is the way you turn into a reaper of Nightmares.

Photo voltaic is the newest subclass to be fully redesigned to make use of the ultra-customizable Features and Fragments system. That is the system that was first launched with Stasis in Past Gentle and was added to Void final Season. It’s good timing as properly, since my guess is that setting Nightmares on fireplace may truly be one of the best ways to deal with the scenario.

It is a free improve to all gamers, and every class carries its personal particular fantasy with a bunch of buildcrafting choices ready for you while you log in. I’m a Hunter for all times personally, however I’d be mendacity if I stated that Photo voltaic Warlock didn’t sound actually cool. Which of those sparks your curiosity?

• Titan: Siege engines powered by the fury of timeless suns. To confront them is to cede floor and ignite the maelstrom that ends all issues.
• Hunter: Radiant duelists who reside inside blinding shows of dexterity and talent. Beware the reality of their intention and the molten fringe of their blade.
• Warlock: Befriend these incandescent clergymen and discover restoration. Oppose them and glimpse annihilation throughout the rain of a shattered daybreak.

Boarding the Leviathan (one in every of my favourite locations in Future 2) to battle Nightmares utilizing a fiery scythe and a brand new Photo voltaic 3.0 construct may be essentially the most good manner I’ve ever thought to begin taking part in Future 2.

Obtain the sport and begin taking part in without cost or seize the Season Cross and get every part you simply examine and extra. How ever you determine to play Season of the Haunted, thanks for filling out my fireteam and serving to me really feel rather less spooked in house.

I’ll see you starside, Guardian.
