Destiny 2 Ice Breaker Guide: How To Get The New Solar Sniper Rifle
Vesper's Host, the dungeon that's part of Destiny 2's Episode: Revenant content release, brings a new Exotic weapon to the game that's actually an old one: Ice Breaker. The Exotic Solar sniper rifle was a fan favorite in the original Destiny thanks to its ability to slowly generate its own ammunition, making it great for hitting bosses with an intense amount of damage.The new version of Ice Breaker is a bit different, but it has similar perks that make it a great boss damage weapon that you'll w...
Destiny 2 Exuviae God Roll Guide - Best Perks And How To Get It
Destiny 2's Episode: Revenant puts a big emphasis on Stasis abilities, providing a series of unlockable mods on its Artifact that greatly amplify all your enemy freezing abilities and weapons. All those buffs make Exuviae, the episode's new Stasis hand cannon, a handy primary weapon for Stasis synergy. That said, you'll probably want Exuviae for its PvP capabilities, where it can get a whole lot of range and accuracy.Like most new guns that drop with each Act of an episode, the first Exuviae you...
Destiny 2 Liturgy God Roll Guide - Best Perks And How To Get It
Destiny 2's new Stasis grenade launcher, Liturgy, is a fairly remarkable breech-loader for a couple of reasons. First, the Episode: Revenant weapon is one of the few Double Fire archetype launchers, which means it fires two grenades at a time instead of one for double the explosive power. Second, it goes in your primary weapon slot and is imbued with Stasis, an element that is highly in vogue thanks to boosts coming from the Revenant artifact. And finally, the excellent perks in its god roll syn...
Destiny 2 Vantage Point God Roll - Best Perks And How To Get It
While a few other guns in Destiny 2's Episode: Revenant stand out a bit more, like Exuviae and Liturgy, the adaptive frame Arc pulse rifle Vantage Point you can get from the episode is pretty good, too. Its god roll makes it a well-rounded weapon in PvE in particular, and can work well with Arc builds focused on delivering Jolt to enemies to keep them electrified while keeping yourself Amplified.Right now, Revenant weapons can be earned by playing the episode's main attraction, the wave-based On...
Destiny 2 Revenant - Every New Exotic In The Episode (So Far)
Revenant's season-pass weapon is available either as soon as you start Revenant, if you've purchased the season pass, or at Tier 40 on its free track if you haven't. It's a pretty remarkable gun, giving you the chance to play a support role on your team while still knocking out lots of enemies quickly.Alethonym is a Stasis grenade launcher that uses primary ammo--the first to do that since Fighting Lion. When you get final blows with it or impale a more powerful enemy with the exploding ice stak...
Destiny 2 New Dungeon Vesper's Host: Release Date, Disabled Weapons, And Everything To Know
Alongside Destiny 2's Episode: Revenant content drop comes Vesper's Host, a three-player dungeon that, like previous dungeons, is sure to offer some intense challenge to endgame players. That challenge is going to be more intense than usual for the first weekend of Vesper's Host, because for the first time, Bungie is running a world's first completion race similar to those it puts on for its raids. As players compete to be the first in the world to finish Vesper's Host, they'll have to deal with...
