Diving into Destiny 2 can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. Its vast universe, complex mechanics, and myriad activities can make you seem daunting. However, have no fear, Guardians! Look into this section where we introduce several Destiny 2 beginners tips and tricks to get you started in the right direction. Let’s dive in!
What is Destiny 2?
Before we dive into the details, Destiny 2 offers some of the very best gunplay around and loads of activities to play. But new players are often overwhelmed and Bungie hasn’t done enough to get them started, leading to many quitting too early. A new tutorial and Guardian Ranks have been added to explain the game, but many new players are still lost.
Adapt to the Weekly Reset
The majority of challenges and activities reset every week. Many rewards are one-time only – with restrictions lifted every Tuesday at reset. Read about current challenges and discover how to tackle them effectively.
Visit Xur Every Weekend
Xur is an NPC that sells powerful Exotics. To acquire these powerful items you need to find Xur every weekend. Find him with apps such as “Where is Xur” for iOS or “Where is Xur” page.
Find the Perfect Weapon by Checking Perks
Check the perks (the roll) before deleting any weapon. The right combination of perks can make a weapon perform better. Don’t just settle for the first version you find; Obtaining the right perks can make all the difference.
Avoid Infusing Gear Too Soon
From 1600 to 1750 you’ll switch weapons quite a bit. Save your Upgrade Modules and try not to infuse gear too often. Keep gear at the highest Power Level for your Guardian to stay as strong as possible.
Aim for Precision Damage
Most enemies take extra damage when hit on their critical spots, usually the head. Also smash matching elemental shields with elemental damage (Arc, Void, or Solar) to melt them quickly and explode them for extra damage.
Before You Go…
These tips should help you get more challenging and rewarding activities in Destiny 2. When you’re ready, attempt these activities:
- Spire of the Watcher Dungeon: Much easier than raids but still difficult.
- Weapons of Nightfall: The Ordeal has different difficulty levels and is a good starting point for more challenging content.
- Legend Lost Sectors: A demanding solo activity that you can do on your own without a Fireteam.
