Destiny 2: Find out more about the PC Version
The PC version of Destiny 2 arrives next week on October 24th, let's breakdown what the PC version has to offer Guardians who are looking for an exciting action MMO shooter to play with their friends.
So the PC version of Destiny 2 is less than a week away, and while we patiently waiting the upcoming preload to start we decided to breakdown some of the PC features players can expect as well as what Destiny 2 has to offer! Strap yourselves in and prepare for one of the biggest FPS games this year!
Destiny 2 Features:
Campaign: Fight against Dominus Ghaul and his Red Legion Army, who have invaded Earth and seek to take control of the Traveller. Meet some great characters and travel to various worlds as the story unfolds.
PVP: The Crucible will be where you can face off against other players to see who is the best, you will be to take on Team vs Team modes such as Countdown, Control, Survival, Clash and Supremacy.
World Events: Scattered throughout each planet that you visit will be specific world events, that can be done solo or by teaming up with others in the region. If you manage to survive these optional activities then you will get powerful gear - they can also be made harder (and thus better loot) by performing certain actions.
Strikes: These are 3 person activities that will test your skill, but also offer great rewards for those lucky enough to survive.
Raids: Raids also make a return to Destiny 2, if you're in a clan then this is where you can get together and tackle some of the toughest challenges that Destiny has to offer.
Challenges: Looking for something to do in the world? Take one of the challenges that will become available later in the game, these will usually require you to do missions in the world or head to the Crucible to fight.
Lost Sectors: Also on each planet are "Lost Sectors", these are best described as a single player 1 man dungeon that you can progress through and find at the end a boss which will unlock a loot chest once defeated.
The Farm Social Space: It's not all about shooting things, one of Destiny 2's areas is known as "The Farm" and will give players a chance to relax and meet others in their downtime or group up and take on a game of football.
And more!: Destiny 2 is always being updated, with new content arriving for free and also with the Season Pass, meaning you'll always have something to do in the game.
