- This Week At Bungie 5/20/2021
- Daily Questions [2021-05-21]
- my little cousin was watching me play destiny in the crucible and after awhile of siting in silence she goes "oh i get it everyone is like Elsa.". well congrats everyone this is what we've become.
- Sleeper Simulant literally has no exotic perk
- Fusion Rifles still need a pve buff. Null composure should come with subsistence instead of feeding frenzy.
- Two years ago I introduced my girlfriend to Destiny by telling her that it had an awesome character that shared her name. This season has been… a bit hard for her.
- Was replaying The Last call mission on a new character and realised that if you don't shoot anyone Cayde-6 will occasionally respond with sarcastic comments about you not shooting
- All primaries need a buff in PVE
- Global Accessibility Awareness day. Bungie should turn Fully Auto into a settings option.
- I was excited that Pleiades Corrector came back, but the scope is awful. Scope customization > Barrel customization. I don't know why barrel options for snipers and scouts has become the new norm for Bungie. Please Give us scope options for these weapons, it makes them infinitely better.
- Don't sleep on the returning Future War Cult SMG Stochastic Variable!!
- Dude, enough with the stupid trigger mechanics for overload rounds.
- If Cold Front returns for this years Dawning it should be able to roll with Firefly.
- Misraaks had one of the best character introductions in the history of this game
- Chroma Rush is awesome. Thank you Bungie!
- I appreciate the fact that Iron Banner is consistently dropping 60+ Stat rolled armor
- Null Composure is painfully average
- Where tf the speaker been at
- Bungie can we please get an ornament for Verity’s Brow?
- The new Iron Banner shotgun takes shaders really well...

- Completed the IB quest line and damn people overreacted
- Hung Jury makes Bottom Dollar look like Khvostov.
- Out of the six pinnacle drops I've gotten this week, 5 of them haven't been upgrades - three helmets, two primaries. We heard there'd be more to say about these situations in the future (last year). When is bad luck protection coming?
- I for one would really love to see Xur become more involved in the story and lore
| Posted: 20 May 2021 02:00 PM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/50373 This week at Bungie, we crack open the Vault of Glass. We're a little over a week into Season of the Splicer. Things have been a little crazy, so to speak. The Vex have cast the Last City into an endless night, and the Vanguard need your help. We've found our first clues on Europa thanks to the aid of Mithrax, but have more networks to crash. Now, Guardians are flying to the Moon for another crack at the code. As you take on the Vex and their simulations, fresh loot has been up for grabs. Gridskipper and Chroma Rush have been ripping the Vex to shreds in Override. Lord Saladin has some new tools of destruction for you to earn in the Iron Banner. Hung Jury is up to bat as a Nightfall reward this week, and we've already seen numerous Guardians exploding their foes with Firefly rolls. It's been a fun start, but we have more on the way, and it's almost time to crack open the Vault of Glass. Vault of Glass: Prepare to StartSaturday is nearly upon us. On May 22 at 10 AM PDT, Guardians will venture forth to Venus to take on the Vault of Glass. Contest Mode will be active, and we have a few rewards for those brave enough to enter. Vault of Glass World First Title As shown back in April, we have a new title belt for players to earn. Here's a quick recap on the rules of engagement:
Here's a link to our Help Article covering every nitty gritty detail in full. If you're planning on going for this belt, please make sure to review the content to ensure your clear is fully complete in our logs! Before we move along, there is one more thing: The Hunter Exotic "Star-Eater Scales" will be disabled for the first 24 hours of Vault of Glass being live. The team has discovered an issue where some abilities were being granted a bit more damage than intended. We don't want Hunters to take this race like they did Guardian Games, so we'll be putting this exotic on a short time out. Plan ahead, and make sure you have another pair of pants infused to appropriate power levels before heading in to the raid. If you'd like to watch as the mayhem unfolds during the world first race, Professor Broman and Reck will be hosting the Vault of Glass: World First Race Tailgate over on Twitch! It'll be a fun time, and we hope to see you there.
Now, let's look at some Bungie Rewards that will be available to all who brave the Vault, World First or not. Apologies in advance for the cheese, but I'm going to take a crack at writing some flavor text for these delicious rewards. Ring Quest For those looking for the perfect reward that says Will You Raid with Me? Guardians who complete the Vault of Glass before May 25, 2021 9:59 AM PDT will unlock the Vault of Glass Raid Ring for purchase from the Bungie Store. Claim your reward code by June 30, 2021 9:59 AM PDT and make your purchase by June 30, 2021 11:59 PM PDT, or your spoils will be forever lost to time. Jacket Quest For those seeking the perfect armor to protect them from simulated Vex elements (or at least a chilly gust of wind). Guardians who complete the Vault of Glass by June 1, 2021 9:59 AM PDT will unlock the Vault of Glass Raid Jacket for purchase from the Bungie Store. Claim your reward code by June 30, 2021 9:59 AM PDT and make your purchase by June 30, 2021 11:59 PM PDT, or you might be caught out in the raid without the proper gear. And more.... We have a few other Bungie Rewards up for grabs. Be sure to check out your Bungie Rewards page for details on the Vault of Glass Pin, Vault of Glass Art Print, and Raise a Glass emblem. Of course, there will be Legendary loot for you to earn in the game. We'll leave those items for you to uncover as you make your way down into the Vault. Cross Play – How About a Beta?In the early hours of Season of the Splicer, a few of you got your first unfiltered taste of Cross Play. Even though this was caused by a bug, we saw players mingling between platforms, which was awesome! That said, we needed to smash that bug like a subscribe button to get our release back on track. While our current goal is for Cross Play to ship in Season 15, we have a list of things to do before it's ready, one of which is a Beta starting early next week. Yes, you read that right! You are formally invited to the Destiny 2 Cross Play Beta. This will serve as a short, sweet, and important moment in the development of this feature. From May 25 through May 27, a unique Vanguard Strikes Cross Play Beta playlist will be available to all players in Destiny 2. You'll be matchmade with Guardians playing on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam and Stadia. As you fight through the enemy waves of Darkness, our teams will be scouring data and preforming a multitude of actions to test the integrity of our upcoming Cross Play system. As a token of our appreciation for your time, any players who complete three strikes in the Vanguard Strikes Cross Play Beta playlist will be rewarded with the unique "Stars Crossed" emblem. Now, before you ask, the Cross Play Beta will be restricted to this matchmade activity. You won't be able to form a fireteam just yet and you won't be able to send invites to friends. We're specifically targeting our matchmaking systems as we prep this feature for next Season. Many thanks in advance. We're incredibly excited for Cross Play and the bright future this feature will bring by uniting Guardians from around the world, no matter which platform they play on. Primed and ReadyWe're a little over halfway through May. I swear, just yesterday I was thinking of how nice a month April was. A new month means we have some new rewards through Prime Gaming to keep your feet grounded as time flies by. Vigilance Wing is in the spotlight this month, with some flair for your Ghost to celebrate the launch of Season of the Splicer! Truth be told, that's one of my favorite ornaments, and a pretty slick Sparrow too. Want to snag these but haven't engaged with our Prime Rewards before? Head here to link your Bungie.net account and follow the directions for claiming rewards. If you've done everything right, Amanda Holliday will have a package for you containing the following:
If you have any questions or hit any snags, be sure to check the Prime Gaming support article on Help.Bungie.net. Bug BashingThese last nine days have been jammed with investigations and bug fixes. Truth be told, we're proud to say that we've had some of the fastest turnarounds we've ever seen. It's a testament to the strength of our team, and improvements we've made to our patch pipelines over the years. All said and done, we've knocked down many high priority issues, but we're still working on a few. Player Support is here with a quick update. This is their report.
Here is a sampling of the list of the issues being addressed:
Right Out of My ChildhoodThis week's selections really hit me right in the nostalgia. I had quite a few coworkers send these to me as well, ranting and raving about how special they were. Without further ado, here are some amazing videos from our community: Movie of the Week: Fallen Babies Movie of the Week: Destiny - The Last Guardians Have a killer movie that you'd like to share with us? Post it on our Creations page! Don't forget to include a link to your Bungie.net profile in the description of your content. A Song of Splice and FireWinners for Art of the Week have a similar story to Movie of the Week. A good friend and coworker sent the following pieces my way, asking if selections for the week were closed. Thankfully, I had just started browsing the #DestinyArt and #Destiny2Art hashtags on Twitter! Art of the Week: O V E R R I D E
Art of the Week: The Iron Lady
While we take a moment in each TWAB to celebrate the artists in our community, tons of Bungie employees follow the Destiny conversation online. We share your pieces frequently, often with phrases like "Holy [REDACTED], this is [REDACTED] excellent!" So, even if you haven''t won yet, thank you for continuing to wow us with your boundless creativity. How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, Atheon? It seems this machine god is stuck in a causal loop within the activity, suggesting that Destiny 2 somehow binds space and time into a causal loop within the activity, suggesting that... See you on Saturday, bright and early. Cheers, dmg04 [link] [comments] |

| Sleeper Simulant literally has no exotic perk Posted: 20 May 2021 08:56 AM PDT It says that it richochets off hard surfaces and overpenetrates. But one of them is literally intrinsic to every linear fusion in the game, and the other one was nerfed to hell. If you actually think the ricochet has any purpose just watch this video While the normal shot to morgeth does 20k+ damage, the bounce does FORTY. FOUR, ZERO. This is like beyond less than 1% damage of the full thing. It's literally completely useless Actually one could argue it's even detrimental because you can kill yourself with the bounce but you can't kill anyone else with the bounce. Please unnerf sleeper bungie or give it SOMETHING that's unique aside from the fact that it's "kinda that one linear fusion that is big and hits kinda hard" [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 11:06 AM PDT Seriously there is no incentive to use fusions or null composure. Their damage is negligible compared to other special weapons. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 06:48 PM PDT I am so sorry Lakshmi. Maybe this was karma for getting Eyes on your first run. Still, I love you and I love grinding Destiny with you. [link] [comments] |

| All primaries need a buff in PVE Posted: 20 May 2021 08:37 AM PDT Seriously all they need to do is take the damage modifier from Guardian Games and make that a baseline buff for all primaries and problem solved. Edit: I'm mostly talking about Scouts, HCs, Pulses, and Bows given how there isn't much of a reason to run them unless they have a Champion mod. [link] [comments] |
| Global Accessibility Awareness day. Bungie should turn Fully Auto into a settings option. Posted: 20 May 2021 10:35 AM PDT It would greatly benefit those with disabilities and muscle issues in their hands. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 10:58 AM PDT I don't really need to go into depth with this. It simply feels better whenever you can pick a scope that you like versus a scope you are forced to end up with. I feel like this is especially true with GridSkipper and other Splicer weapons. Also, the old curated roll for Pleiades Corrector is a god roll. It's the exact roll I was going to strive for but the scope literally ruins that for me. [link] [comments] |
| Don't sleep on the returning Future War Cult SMG Stochastic Variable!! Posted: 20 May 2021 06:29 AM PDT I consider myself something of a connoisseur of SMGs. I have tens of thousands of kills across every one that has ever been in this game and I can honestly say that I haven't loved one this much since Bungie first unleashed The Recluse on us. "But why would I care about an arc SMG when Ikelos and Seventh Seraph exist?" I know. I know. I have over 12k kills on my Ikelos and almost 3k on my Seventh Seraph so I totally wrote Stochastic Variable off as soon as I saw it was an arc SMG. But I like to try new stuff so when I received a Feeding Frenzy/Multi-Kill Clip roll I felt I should give it a go. I was a bit underwhelmed at first. But then I switched to the SMG's secret weapon: Phase Mag. For those who are out of the loop; Phase Mag is a Magazine Perk exclusive to Omolon SMGs. It lowers the rate of fire and mag size in exchange for a boost in damage. Oh my god. OH. MY. GOD. It's an eraser tool. Enemies just disintegrate when you point it at them, and that's before you get MKC going. Masterwork it to generate orbs and throw on Taking Charge and High Energy Fire on top of that and it's downright hilarious how fast it burns through enemies. It's the core Destiny gameplay loop at its finest. Kill, kill, kill, reload really fast, get a damage boost, kill harder, kill, DESTROY, MORE RELOAD SPEED, MORE DAMAGE, MORE DESTRUCTION, MORE IRRITATION OF THE OTHER FIVE PEOPLE IN OVERRIDE WHO WANT TO SHOOT SOMETHING TOO. Sorry, I just really love this gun. Now, yes, I know. If you want to get technical, Warmind Cells are and (barring a HUGE nerf) always will be the most efficient method of clearing trash mobs. But I for one am getting sick of shooting orange orbs, and welcome a return to shooting heads. I think this SMG, among some of the other fantastic weapons released this season, is Bungie making an attempt to move us away from Warmind Cell builds and back to just straight up shooting aliens. That's just a theory, but if it is true, it has totally worked on me. Oh and PS, it can be easily farmed from Umbrals ;) [link] [comments] |
| Dude, enough with the stupid trigger mechanics for overload rounds. Posted: 20 May 2021 06:33 PM PDT It's a fucking nuisance. Just any round from the gun like the other two. Fuckin hell. [link] [comments] |
| If Cold Front returns for this years Dawning it should be able to roll with Firefly. Posted: 20 May 2021 09:59 AM PDT Poor Cold Front was robbed of it's uniqueness of being the first kinetic weapon with dragonfly. Understandable considering it was apparently causing issues with the game in some way, but now that we have Firefly which seems to work just fine on Kinetics like Hung Jury, it should get that ability and distinction back. [link] [comments] |
| Misraaks had one of the best character introductions in the history of this game Posted: 20 May 2021 11:22 AM PDT This is an Eliksni who has been built up for YEARS as a character and now that we get to meet him, his official introduction is everything I could've asked for. First off, his build up is spot on. He's been a character (even if he was more of an extra) since D2 vanilla. The fact that we could spare him shows that Bungie had plans for this dude the second we met him. After that our first real interaction with him, the Zero Hour, shows him not just helping us out, but doing so against his own people, and even helped to set up Eramis in the process. After that we don't hear much, until Beyond Light. He's shown escorting defectors from House Salvation to safety, and we help him do so. By this point anyone who played knew he was coming in as a real character soon. Every action he has taken since we met him (and canonically spared him) has been to our benefit, and the majority of the time it was in peaceful ways. Each moment we run into him, he is (skeptically) trusting of us, but once we see him in the first cutscene, there is one line that cements his character for everyone. When a refugee asks if he can trust us, Misraaks responds, "I don't, but the Light provides," And this is the root of his character. In some of his first words in game, it is clear where his identity lies. Despite not knowing wether we will help him or massacre his people, he puts his faith in the Great Machine (or traveler for you non-Eliksni) and shows devotion to the Light not seen in anyone but Guardians. (And even then he's more devoted than some of our ranks) This isn't like other characters that appear out of nowhere, (or almost nowhere depending on how much lore you read) such as Caiatl, Nokris, or Panoptes. He has been deliberately built up for us, and with how Destiny's story is improving leaps and bounds above what it was, Misraaks should be a benchmark for character development and introduction. Someone who we know, have met, and are able to understand the moment we see them formally introduced. [link] [comments] |
| Chroma Rush is awesome. Thank you Bungie! Posted: 20 May 2021 07:51 AM PDT This is the first kinetic auto rifle I've enjoyed and willingly used since my Hazard of the Cast was sunset. I personally love the Tunnel Vision perk on it since I'm an ADS person. This gun is the closest I've ever felt in a game that handles and "looks" like (I don't mean appearance) my m400. The biggest difference is my AR15 only holds 30 rounds and Chroma Rush holds 67 with Backup Mag. Overall, great weapons this season. Edit: Good heavens! I can't believe this one took off as it did. Thanks, everybody. Edit 2: Noticed a typo. That should have been kinetic auto rifle. Looks like most of you all understood what I meant, though. [link] [comments] |
| I appreciate the fact that Iron Banner is consistently dropping 60+ Stat rolled armor Posted: 20 May 2021 12:47 PM PDT Its only 3 days into the week and i must of gotten almost 30 armor drops from post game rewards alone. And each and every piece is 60+ stat rolled. So a friendly reminder for all of you guys is to make sure to grab the armor from the post master if your inventory is full, and just toss it all into the vault. Sort through it later to determine what stat rolls are worth keeping. I dont think any other activity is this generous with stat rolls and drops this frequently [link] [comments] |
| Null Composure is painfully average Posted: 20 May 2021 01:04 AM PDT As Datto said, it's LITERALLY a fusion rifle. Feels good and it does the job but it's no where near the efficacy or power of Salvager's Salvo or other similar Ritual/Pinnacle/whatever weapon. If you have the quest honestly don't rush to get it done, you are not missing out. Go for Plug One when it's in rotation. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 03:26 PM PDT That's it, where he at why he not replaced that's all I wanna know [link] [comments] |
| Bungie can we please get an ornament for Verity’s Brow? Posted: 20 May 2021 10:15 AM PDT I love using it with a Bleakwatcher build, but oh lord is it absolutely ugly as sin. It takes shaders so badly and barely pairs well with any set in game. It's one of the few exotic armor pieces without an ornament, and even it's brother Wormhusk Crown got an ornament to make it marginally less hideous. Please Bungie, please can we have a Verity's Brow ornament [link] [comments] |
| The new Iron Banner shotgun takes shaders really well... Posted: 20 May 2021 03:12 PM PDT |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 10:09 PM PDT Part 1. So you need guardian kills, zones, and ability kills? Stick with your team. Cap your base zone. Move WITH your team to either of the other zones and team shot, chuck your nade in there. Get part one done. Going off alone means you'll almost certainly be outnumbered, increasing the chances you throw your nade and die without a kill, losing your grenade energy, slowing your progress. Part 2. So you need hand Cannon kills? Stick with your team and team shot. Repeat above. If you go off on your own you'll get team shot. If you don't cap zones, your team will scatter which means now all 6 of you are getting team shot by the clearly more coordinated other team. Part 3. Okay, I get it. Snipe kills suck. Hard scoping leaves you vulnerable. But the best place to be sniping is... YOU GUESSED IT, behind your team, moving towards the next zone. That way the enemies aren't focused on you and you can get some safe shots. Also, rule of thumb for sniping. Don't hard scope for more than like 3 seconds without dipping out of scope to check your radar and reorient with your team. If you don't do this you'll get shotgunned in the back. Also, if you're going to stand still, at least stand still on a point. Part 4. Shotgun kills? Be at the front of your team. Maybe let the engagement happen then move in with movement, jump, blink, etc. Find the enemies already engaged and get to their side or back. Unless your blinking or a behemoth sliding psycho, you probably don't want to run straight at the enemy. BUT if you choose to go off on your own, and not cap zones, you're way less likely to get special ammo, solid encounters, etc. You'll prock radar before you can get in there, and just about any time someone sees radar but doesn't see you, they assume you're shotgunning and prepare. Part 5. Heavy? Stick with your team and cap zones. I'm sure your teammates will be around heavy when it comes up. If your playing the objective, odds are you have 2/3 zones and can safely move towards heavy. Once you get it, stick with your team to be sure not to die without at least one kill. In conclusion. You're losing and having a bad time because you are most likely making poor in game decisions. Slow down. Play with your team. Don't let your rage, impatience, or frustration cause you to run to your death. [link] [comments] |
| r/Destinythegame in 2014: The week of VoG's release Posted: 20 May 2021 04:37 AM PDT With the Vault of Glass being re-released this weekend, now's a good a time as any to take a trip down memory lane. Here are some of the top posts of the week from Sep 14, 2014, the week where VoG was released in D1: 1. [Official Petition] Bring mic communication to Destiny 2. So my wifes' water just broke... 3. Is Anybody Else Really Disappointed with Destiny? 4. [Guide] Vanguard Rep, Faction Rep and Vanguard Marks 5. Holy crap, I found another code in the Arms and Armament book! 8. Proximity Chat would have made this game a lot more social feeling 9. I think a good option that should be alongside "go to orbit" would be an "orbit to tower" option 12. Pulling out your Ghost should highlight drops through walls and other obstructions 13. Highly Effective Rare & Legendary Engram Farming Guide 14. [SPOILERS] All Gold Chest Locations and Dead Ghost Hints 15. Is anyone else dissapointed that Bosses do not drop loot? 17. Destiny All Golden Chest locations with screenshots 18. PSA: The Strange Coin Vendor just spawned! Here's what you need to know. [link] [comments] |
| Completed the IB quest line and damn people overreacted Posted: 20 May 2021 05:31 PM PDT I saw so many people on this sub hating on the IB quest saying there shouldn't be heavy kills and the melee kills needs to be toned down. I was expecting utter carnage upon delving into my attempt to complete this quest, and when I got to the step involving heavy kills I discovered I had to get an almighty 3 heavy kills! I had to complete an entire trilogy of machine gun kills. The melee step on the other hand, considering I got gifted the current best shotgun in the game the step before, was pretty simple. Clam down boys quests not that bad the worst step is the melee kills and there's only 15 of them. [link] [comments] |
| Hung Jury makes Bottom Dollar look like Khvostov. Posted: 20 May 2021 10:37 AM PDT Title; like, holy crap, this has been a rough nightfall farm. And this isn't a "mehmeh buff drop rate post," just wanted to point it out. Anyone else having the same terrible rng as me? Dozens of runs over the course of 3 days and I only have 2 Hung Juries. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 10:54 AM PDT I'm not asking for perfect "only upgrade in order" loot status. It's a loot game. Sometimes bad luck is gonna happen. But after having all four iron banner pinnacles drop as non-upgrades (already in slots where I had a piece that high), and then having it happen again with my gambit engram....something's gotta give. I'm not looking to pinnacle cap in a week, I'm just trying to lessen the frequency with which I get owned by a 1/8 chance. I'd even take "your next pinnacle drop won't be the same slot as the last one" to start. [link] [comments] |
| I for one would really love to see Xur become more involved in the story and lore Posted: 20 May 2021 06:55 PM PDT He's pretty much useless as a vendor for veteran players, aside from the weekly exotic engram. But he has so much potential as a cool character - you see some of it in the Ecdysis lore book, but there's the whole fact that he's of a race which you know literally nothing about. With all the theorizing that next season will be DC-centric, I hope we have some more focus on the Nine and Xur becomes a key player. I have a feeling that Lightfall will heavily involve the Nine too. [link] [comments] |
