New Modes in Destiny 2 Into the Light
Destiny 2 will introduce two additional PvE modes: Onslaught and Pantheon.
The ritual activity known as Onslaught will essentially function as a Horde Mode, where players will encounter waves of enemies in familiar locations from both the past and present. Onslaught is set to launch alongside the release of Into The Light on April 9.
Pantheon, on the other hand, is a boss rush mode where you will encounter Raid bosses in a gauntlet. Bungie has not yet disclosed the exact details of the mode, but they have stated that more information will be revealed in the upcoming weeks as the mode is scheduled to launch on April 30. And, it has been confirmed that Raid loot will be obtainable within this mode.
Enhanced Armor Sets in Destiny 2 Into the Light
Destiny 2 Into the Light will also introduce a new armor set for each class, which can be acquired by earning Trophies of Bravery.
In addition, players can acquire them by participating in other core activities such as rituals and seasonal events. Below is a preview of the armor:
Shaxx’s new rank can also be increased by playing Onslaught.
Unlocking Exotic Missions in Destiny 2 Into the Light
The upcoming release of Destiny 2 Into the Light will mark the comeback of two Exotic missions:
- The mission “Whisper of the Worm”will be available at launch for the Whisper mission.
- The Zero Hour Mission for obtaining Outbreak Perfected will be available on May 7.
As expected, this implies that players will be able to craft both of the Exotics by completing the mission. Additionally, these weapons will still have unique perks that can be obtained by completing specific challenges that change every three weeks.
