Big things are happening in the world of Bungie and Destiny 2, especially with the rollout of Heresy, the third and final chapter of the current installment. This update is designed to pave the way for a fresh model and content expected later this year with Frontiers. Heresy has been a strong addition so far, and Bungie’s latest livestream suggests there’s plenty more content to come, including an exciting boss-rush mode in Guardian Games, the intriguing Court of Blades on the Dreadnaught, a fresh PvP mode, and the Rite of the Nine event. With such significant developments ahead, mark your calendar for March 11, a red-letter day for the game.
The debut of Heresy Act 1 was met with enthusiasm, keeping players engaged, and Bungie recently ushered in its standard Moments of Triumph mini-event for Destiny 2 enthusiasts to tackle before the arrival of fresh content. With Act 1 wrapping up, fans are gearing up for the release of Heresy Act 2 in just a few days, promising an array of thrilling new additions.
As we look ahead, there’s a substantial lineup of new features and content on the horizon with Heresy Act 2, even more so considering that Act 3 promises to be even more expansive. Players can anticipate:
– Engaging story missions centered around mystical whispers, possibly involving Eris Morn.
– The Court of Blades, an activity with modifiers reminiscent of The Nether’s roguelike elements.
– A collection of five new weapons, including the Void bow Anamnesis and the Strand SMG Mirror Imago.
– Two Exotic Catalysts for the Barrow-Dyad SMG.
– A fresh column of Artifact mods with exciting capabilities like Overload Trace Rifles and Beam Medic.
– The beloved Guardian Games event, now featuring new weapons, armor, and a captivating boss-rush mode.
Diving into the gameplay enhancements, Heresy Act 2 promises some significant updates. The Court of Blades draws inspiration from the Court of Oryx, offering a dynamic and faster-paced experience. Bungie describes it as an activity focused on enemy takedowns, rewarding players generously for their efforts.
The brand new Heresy weapons also show great promise. The Refusal of the Call glaive, for instance, stands out as the first Strand glaive, boasting impressive perk combinations like Replenishing Aegis and Sword Logic. Additionally, players can explore the first two out of four Exotic Catalysts for Barrow-Dyad, with one option offering a considerable damage boost through Target Lock.
Moreover, five brand new Artifact mods are set to make a considerable impact. These mods can significantly enhance already powerful builds in the game. For instance, Arc Warlocks in Heresy can leverage mods like Geomag Stabilizers for amplified Super Energy gains and Chaos Reach damage, pairing seamlessly with Coldheart as a trace rifle to generate Ionic Traces. This synergy can be further amplified with mods like Beam Medic for healing on kills and Harsh Refraction for increased damage with Coldheart, all while boosting Super damage through Limit Break.
Finally, in rounding off Act 2, Guardian Games will offer an exhilarating event where the three classes compete fiercely. Besides the loot from previous iterations, this edition will introduce the Keraunios Arc trace rifle, with enticing perks like the Detonator Beam. More notably, Guardian Games 2025 is set to include a boss-rush mode reminiscent of Destiny 2’s Pantheon, potentially capturing the community’s attention with its adrenaline-pumping gameplay.
