Destiny 2Bungie
It's still this time. I spent the last three days doing almost nothing but playing Destiny 2Forsaken's new expansion, other than sleeping and eating. And honestly, not a lot of one or the other. I have devoted all my time to one character, my Titan, and soon it will be time to start on others, but 25-30 hours later, I still do not have anything to do on a single character. There is a lot here.
I know some of you probably do it do not play video games for a living, so you may be starting or waiting for the weekend to play. Well, after 30 hours, I think I have some tips to give you, tips on gambling, leveling and loot, etc.
Here are ten things I would like to know when I started Destiny 2: Abandoned.
Destiny 2Bungie
1. Say goodbye to 98% of your old material
Listen, I understand. You've been playing for a year, you've put together your favorite weapons and armor, you've worked them, nine yards. But believe me when I say that everything you think of saving, you are not.
It's not fair that there is new equipment to take, but almost all your old equipment is useless because the weapons do not have a bonus that all new drops have in the Forsaken era and that your armor does not have two switchable benefits that are essential for making real builds now.
Of course, keep your favorites for nostalgia, but over the last 30 hours of play, I've used my old equipment for about twenty minutes before almost all of it skipped and moving on to the era from Forsaken with all the bonuses and bonuses. I understand how difficult it is to leave all this behind, but the new collections feature allows you to delete everything you have accumulated in your vault and remove it later if you wish. really want it again, and it's time to go ahead. The exceptions are the exotic species, because the weapons have not changed and you can infuse them to new levels, and the exotic armors you already have have indeed received new benefits, so you can infuse them and use. Just … do not stay attached to your old legendary stuff.
2. The soft cap has a power of 500
Forsaken's new "ultimate" power limit is 600, but the "soft cap", which is the one you can get relatively fast, is 500. This process of reaching 500 legendary equipment every twenty about minutes, because the blue drops will continue to increase your power very quickly, and you can beat the whole story with blue weapons and armor and just a handful of fabled ones.
I would not invest too much in the infusion until you reach 500. The infusion is really dear now, and you will reach 500 only by random drops, drops that will be enough to make you pass through the content of the story and to reach this limit, and then, things change, what I will do a little.

3. Do not expect the return of a vocal guardian
A brief note on the story. Although I do not enter spoilers here, I know that many players have been thrilled to hear their Guardian speak in the latest trailer of a game, but do not expect a big return to having a vocal Guardian .
For unexplainable reasons, besides the trailer, your caretaker is talking exactly another word, "Deal!", When you talk to Spider about Uldren's location. But during Cayde's death, the final confrontation in the end, they say nothing. I'll talk about it later, but do not be like me, do not expect.
4. The drops of loot will improve at level 50
One thing that I found odd was that even if I managed one or two bonuses for the legendary and I earned chips and weapons, I never had to lose in the wild.
While the drops of loot were somewhat spoiled, ie. you will get less drops, but more drops, I will say that things will get better once you reach the new leveling cap of 50. When you reach this point, A) the legendary booty will begin to fall, not the engrams encrypted now), and B) you will have access to a sea of "powerful engrams" that are legendary that will increase your power level. I will go into details in a moment. Just know that if you think your drops suck throughout the campaign, they will eventually improve.

5. Expect to go crazy with Masterworks For Now
It now costs a lot of shards and masterpiece hearts to take weapons from level 1 to level 10, more than we had seen before with the old system. I just want to say that, as excited as you are about random rolls, you might want to avoid becoming too crazy with the masterpieces immediately.
I made the mistake of taking a few items at level 10 soon enough, only to find that I had better results later and that I wanted to use those hearts for something else. There is a lot of equipment in this expansion, more than I would have imagined, then I would wait a little until you have amassed a large collection and you know what is going on. really your favorite weapon. After 30 hours, I feel like I'm just starting to devote myself to masterpieces that I probably will not regret later, but it's up to you.
6. Infuse equipment with the same name for cheap
First of all, I would not want to infuse the most material as long as possible, knowing that Bungie could adjust some things, including the fact that it takes crafting hearts to do it, which seems crazy.
Secondly, you should know that if you breathe exactly two of the same elements, it will cost you only 5,000 glows, no shards, no planetary materials, no cores. I did not do anything but this kind of infusion so far, and that has allowed me to keep my batteries intact, and I'm still in power. You will get a lot of double drops, and as such, you can use them to enhance each other, keeping the one that has the best benefits. For example, I infused the same grenade launcher about five times with drops of Vanguard from Zavala. You might want to spend all that money later, but for now, I would just trade your more powerful equipment that falls and use it, or I would only infuse objects of the same name.

7. Shoot the items in the collection to speed up the leveling
Before reaching the soft limit of 500, you can use a trick if you find that one of your items is very late compared to others, which causes the drops to stop. With the new collections feature, you can retrieve copies of recently deleted devices. And if an article is way far behind, the copy you shoot can be much higher than this one. Do this, and the rest of your drops will start to increase at a normal pace. You can not do it forever, but it's a trick to use at the beginning of the game, at least.
8. Do not forget that there are bonuses for literally everything now
Bungie has reintroduced some bonuses into an update not so long ago, but what you may not realize is that the premiums are literally all over now, and a primary way to get XP, rank, chips and loot. Remember that no matter what activity you do, there are probably bonuses for that. There is:
- Valuation premiums
- Crucible bonuses
- Prerverse Bounties (for brilliant dust)
- Gambit Bounties
- Planetary localization premiums
- Tangled Shore WANTED bonuses for Spider
- Dreaming City special bonuses for Petra
As I said, a lot of bonuses. Some contain legendary gear as prizes, some even contain powerful engrams. Many resets every day at 1 pm, some weekly on Tuesdays. Do not miss them

9. Do not hold your breath for an avalanche of exotics
Bungie does her best so that exotic species will not only feel exotic now, but also very rare. Destiny 2 allowed you to collect all the exotic species in a relatively short time if you played enough, but things have changed. In 30 hours, I only have three exotic species. Two came from powerful engrams, one was the exotic quest for ace of spades. More public agricultural events for exotic engrams. They will pass either by powerful engrams, perhaps bonuses, very rarely in chips, exotic quests, or Xur, which arrives every Friday. And they will not show up often. I think it's a change for the better, because it makes every new exotic drop feel special, instead of making it useless as it has been for a long time.
10. The upgrade of the final phase will work a little differently now
Before you leave, a brief overview of how things work after 500. Leveling will slow down, and the blues will not help you anymore. Most gear will drop to 500, but you now have access to a set of lenses that will give you powerful engrams that decrease by about 5 power points compared to your current level.
Many of them are weekly tasks that will be reset every Tuesday. There are old ones like running strikes or playing crucible matches, but also new games like playing Gambit or completing 20 bonuses for Ikora or making bonuses in Petra. Some things are daily, like a rotating challenge that requires you to do only one activity a day, an attack, a game of Gambit, etc., and you will reset them every four days. Even the Cryptarch goes into action, because it will give you a buff every day that will allow a Premier Engram to fall into the wild and exceed your power level. The fact is that there are many more paths to the next level, even if the drops of wild loot are a little less numerous than before. I do not know what the second "cap" is for leveling again, and if you need end-of-game activities to push you to 600, but for the moment, it's that way things will work, and the biggest enemies that I've seen so far in the dream city are 560. Not sure what the raid will throw at.
So, these are my ten things, but I'm sure I'll have more to share in the future. If you have specific questions not covered here, you can contact me on Twitter. Good hunt.
