-The Dragon's Shadow (costs 23 Legendary Shards) is an exotic Hunter class chest armor that's constructed out of wraithmetal mail and "grants movement and weapon handling speed for a short time after dodging," which should come especially handy during PvP matches, considering Hunters do a fair amount of dodging in competitive. Also, Hunters who use a Void subclass will have their class abilities recharge faster - and the ability can stack up to 3 ti
+The element of chance inherent in these systems led gamers to question their nature as a form of gambling. The ESRB has since weighed in on the debate and decided that this is not the case. While their legality has apparently been clarified, the morality of targeted microtransactions remains up for debate. Now, Activision is looking to take the next big step of in-game marketing, via a system that can deliberately enhance or reduce your gameplay experience to encourage purchases of in-game cont

+The biggest knock against Destiny 2 after release was a lacking amount of postgame content, and that's what Gambit mode looks to fix. It's a 4-versus-4 mode that blends traditional competitive multiplayer with " unpredictable elements of [player versus environment play] ." Bungie's Scott Taylor announced that the mode will be at E3 2018, and that the studio has " always strived to create innovative experiences that will challenge and reward different kinds of players and ensure their beloved pastime is rewarding ." In addition to the new mode, there will be a new story campaign developed by High Moon Studios that has players teaming up with Cayde-6 to chase after those that escaped the Prison of Eld

While Bungie plans on nerfing the weapon on December 12, they decided to temporarily give everyone a fighting chance (and wreak some havoc at the same time) by making the Trace Rifle available for everyone to purchase as Xur.

-In the interview, conducted by Eurogamer , Barrett and Taylor were asked about the decision leading up to Cayde-6's death . The duo explained that the character is known for his witty one-liners and campy behavior even in the face of death, and that Destiny 2 : Forsaken is Bungie's earnest attempt to steer the series away from that action-hero trope. The studio is hoping the expansion will set a darker tone for a series that grapples with a lot of big, brooding questions, and it appears Cayde-6 was a necessary fatality to ensure that the Guardians' nadir was successfully reached. When asked if Cayde-6 was really dead or dead "like in a superhero movie," Taylor said, "No, he's definitely de

+Polygon notes that Destiny 2 players can no longer access certain end-game content without purchasing the Curse of Osiris DLC first (and presumably future DLC as well). End-game content, such as Nightfalls and the Raid, have seen their base power level requirements increase, with Nightfalls now requiring players to have a 270 Power Level. While they're still available to the general public, the Nightfall's Prestige variant, which previously required Power Level 300, now requires 330 gear, a level only people who purchased the DLC can obt
