What To Play And How To Prepare For Destiny 2’s Huge June 9 Patch
Key Points:
- Destiny 2’s player count has surged nearly threefold ahead of its final patch on June 9, driven by anticipation as the game approaches its conclusion.
- Players are encouraged to catch up to the "The Final Shape" expansion, considered one of the best, especially for those who left the game months or years ago.
- The last two smaller expansions, Renegades and Edge of Fate, are recommended for staying current, with Renegades praised for its standalone story and loot, including a lightsaber.
- The permanent power cap will be set at 550, allowing players to engage fully in all activities without disadvantage and farm for top-tier loot.
- Bungie is adding 300 new vault slots for inventory management, and players should farm Bright Dust and Bright Engrams to acquire missed cosmetics before no new loot is added.
- All raids and dungeons will have refreshed loot and mechanics, including the upcoming Pantheon 2.0 update, encouraging players to revisit and practice these activities.
- The new artifact system will enable more diverse loadouts across subclasses and weapons, and players can start preparing despite upcoming changes to abilities and gear balance.
- Players are advised to level up all three classes to take advantage of the final phase of the game, where no class will be left behind.
