Future 2: Lightfall is simply across the nook. In case you don’t really feel like taking a break earlier than the brand new growth or try to get again into Future forward of the brand new launch, right here’s some issues you are able to do to maintain busy and put together forward of February 28.
Lightfall is promising some huge adjustments and a complete new energy known as Strand that can give gamers entry to a bunch of glowy inexperienced telekinetic powers, together with little spider bombs. Along with seven new items of Unique gear which have been revealed up to now, the growth will even pit gamers straight in opposition to an evil military making an attempt to smother the photo voltaic system in Darkness. I’m excited. However earlier than any of that there are nonetheless a number of issues left to do in Future 2’s present growth.
End The Witch Queen
It by no means hurts to atone for the final growth earlier than popping into the brand new one, and The Witch Queen gives the perfect story marketing campaign Future 2’s had in years. In case you’ve already accomplished it, congratulations! If not, take a number of hours and revel in its eight-mission journey into the guts of trickster Hive god Savathûn’s Throne World. Higher but, take a number of nights and sort out it on Legendary problem which can make the smooth-brained loot shooter really feel a little bit extra like basic Halo, particularly if enjoying solo or with only one good friend.
The ultimate cutscenes are additionally key to understanding the massive showdown between gentle and darkish that Bungie’s organising and can proceed to construct on in Lightfall. The Witch Queen continues to be $40, and in contrast to 2020’s Past Gentle not free with PS Plus this month or by Recreation Cross. Nonetheless, the marketing campaign earns its hold and received’t pressure you to take care of the remainder of Future 2’s loot grind when you don’t need to.

Atone for the seasonal drama alerts
With The Witch Queen full you’ll have a superb deal with on what The Witness is about and the menace posed by his world-destroying disciples. However there’s much more to Future 2’s universe than simply huge bads and cosmic stakes. Seasons 16 by 19 offered a ton of latest character developments and essential reveals that helped clarify motivations and construct intrigue in between the principle boss battles. The primary issues you have to know are that Cabal Empress Caiatl is in your staff now, her daddy is working for the manifestation of evil, Fallen Kell Mithrax made a potion to revive Osiris, and Warmind Rasputin can now discuss on to the participant and wax philosophical.
However moderately than inform you every part that occurred during the last yr in Future 2, I’ll inform you one of the simplest ways to catch up by yourself time. Wish to learn? The Future Lore subreddit has some unbelievable one-pagers that undergo actually each miniscule plot beat with hyperlinks to these corresponding moments within the sport if you wish to see them play out in actual time: Season of the Risen, Season of the Haunted, Season of Plunder, Season of the Seraph. Desire to observe movies? Along with Future Lore Vault which accommodates footage of each piece of story ever shared within the sport, resident maester “My title is Byf” has made a whole bunch of hours’ price of YouTube movies going over every part intimately. For now I like to recommend this video discussing Calus’ motivation, this one about Osiris and Saint-14 being reunited, and this one in regards to the complicated story behind Clovis Bray’s lure and Rasputin’s new id.
Clear out your Vault
There’s nothing worse than beginning a brand new Future 2 growth and taking a break mid-campaign to determine what you’re going to junk to make room for all the brand new loot you’re swimming in. Vault cleansing is less complicated mentioned than finished, in fact. I’ve gotten much less valuable about all my outdated weapons lately and I nonetheless routinely have over 450 items of substances in mine. However when you’re not already utilizing it, the Future Merchandise Supervisor is a tremendous software for streamlining the Vault administration course of.
One good rule of thumb is to do away with something you haven’t utilized in over a yr. Additionally, when you’ve got clear playstyle preferences, don’t maintain onto a bunch of weapons from a category you hate utilizing. By no means end up sniping? Do away with them aside from one or two. Hate swords? Then why do you’ve got 10? Amor is even simpler to filter. Due to transmog and massive enhancements coming to mod administration subsequent season, there’s no purpose to carry on to further items. Concentrate on sustaining one set of high-stat armor.
Accumulate some seasonal weapons
Nonetheless, it’s good to enter every new growth with some tried-and-true weapons that can carry you thru the brand new content material no matter how fortunate you might be with new loot. Plus, with seasonal content material disappearing on the finish of every yr, your avenues for getting a few of the finest weapons from the present seasons received’t be round for much longer. I’d suggest chasing one or two of the next weapons and perk rolls primarily based in your private choice:
- CALUS Mini-Device (Photo voltaic Submachine Gun): Unrelenting, Feeding Frenzy, Incandescent
- Bump within the Night time (Stasis Rocket Launcher): Chill Clip, Chain Response, Stats for All
- Tarnished Mettle (Arc Scout Rifle): Dragonfly, Explosive Payload, Voltshot
- Brigand’s Legislation (Arc Sidearm): Menace Detector, Perpetual Movement, Surrounded
- IKELOS_SMG_v1.0.3 (Arc Submachine Gun): Frenzy, Faucet the Set off, Perpetual Movement
- Disparity (Stasis Pulse Rifle): Gravestone, Outlaw, Frenzy
Mini-Device is the largest ache out of those as a result of you have to first discover it in a chest within the Derelict Leviathan earlier than you can begin goal farming it on the vendor. The remaining are all unlocked by the usual seasonal actions. Disparity and Tarnished Mettle are each nice longer-range weapons for dealing with new Lightfall content material solo. Additionally, Bungie is presently letting gamers decrypt one red-border weapon per day, making it simpler than ever to unlock the crafting patterns for all of those weapons. The most recent IKELOS SMG won’t ever allow you to down when you determine to focus on that one.
Farm a bunch of Legendary Shards
Bungie not too long ago introduced an finish to Blue Engrams as soon as gamers hit the delicate energy cap. Within the lead as much as Lightfall, nonetheless, the studio can also be changing these Blue Engrams with Purple ones, resulting in a big windfall in Legendary Shards. Since focusing Engrams is presently the sport’s principal method of letting you grind for particular items of loot, and that course of requires plenty of Legendary Shards, many gamers have been tearing by their reserves.
Consequently, there’s by no means been a greater time to run a number of Dusk strikes and pocket a pair dozen further shards. They’ll little doubt turn out to be useful throughout Lightfall, particularly when you don’t play Future 2 as a lot and haven’t already amassed huge stockpiles. Blind Properly and Dares of Eternity are additionally nice locations to effectively shard farm.
Hoard some weekly bounties
This one is for try-hards, however when you’re planning to play a number of hours of Future 2 between now and when Lightfall is dwell, it’s simple sufficient to do. Lengthy story quick: Any bounties you full now will keep in your stock till you flip them in. Doing so after Lightfall comes out will allow you to get an enormous head begin on XP proper originally. This may allow you to unlock Seasonal Artifact mods earlier and make quicker progress on the Season Cross rewards.
Weekly bounties provide the most important quantity of XP at 12,000, and are much less overwhelming than filling up your quest log display screen with tons of smaller ones. Public Disturbance and Full Spectrum within the Cosmodrome are simple ones, Brave Expedition on Europa is one other easy weekly bounty. Plus when you’re already doing Dares for further shards you may as nicely knock out some bounties for Xur within the Treasure Room.
Go to the house station (and seize Revision Zero)
Season of the Seraph’s Unique questline is a bit concerned however utterly price it. Along with a satisfying journey to an orbital house station you’ll additionally nab top-of-the-line new Unique pulse rifles and its 4 distinct Unique Catalysts. When you’ve accomplished all of Seraph’s weekly story missions you’ll unlock the Operation: Seraph’s Protect unique mission. It’s a bit concerned however gives some enjoyable solo puzzle fixing. In case you don’t need to determine it out for your self you’ll be able to use this information.
When you’ve obtained the red-border model of Revision Zero you’ll be able to dismantle it after which go to Mars to craft your individual model. After that you could embark on the four-part “Ought to You Select To Settle for It” mission to gather every of the Unique Catalysts by fixing extra puzzles and retrieving lifeless Exos. Right here’s a information to the place they’re positioned. Lastly, when you discover the 50 safety drones, you’ll be able to unlock a particular room within the Seraph station. It’s definitely worth the journey and is a good way to cap off Future 2’s fifth yr.
