[b]Destinations:[/b] [b][u]Tangled Shore[/u][/b] First destination you'll go to in Forsaken, place is overrun by a new enemy type called the Scorn. It's not a planet, it's not a moon; it's a collection of asteroids that are lashed together with grappling hooks, cables & duct tape. You can look down & see the abyss of space all the time. It contributes to this feeling that you are never safe anywhere. [b][u]Scorn[/u][/b] The Scorn are a new enemy type in Destiny 2, they were once Fallen, corrupted Ether, suffering through strange experiments, repeated reanimation & being burried alive in the heart of an asteroid has mutaded these enemies. "They are this group that was locked in the deepest parts of the Prison of Elders, they became something horrible because of that situation. They bonded & mutated within these dark caverns. They're like an evolution of the Fallen if you stuck them in a corner." The defining feature of the Scorn; they don't take cover & they don't retreat. They're by far the most aggressive A.I. in the game. [b][u]Vendor[/u][/b] The new vendor for the Tangled Shore is "The Spider". This Fallen mob boss once held sway over the Tangled Shore, but the arrival of Uldren sent him into hiding. Not only is the Spider the vendor, but an uneasy alliance with him & his Fallen forces gives us the only help we can expect this far out from the Vanguard. After the campaign, he cashes in favors to demand more work; hunting down other outlaws from the Prison of Elders as they spread out across the system, where we must confront them as they appear in random world locations, strikes, in the midst of a Gambit match, or in revitalized & high-level Lost Sectors on old destination planets. [b][u]Dreaming City[/u][/b] The Dreaming City is the long-hidden home of the Awoken & acts as a location filled with secrets, new activities, a new raid & dynamic content that changes week to week. "unlike recent expansions, there are threads that you learn toward the end of the campaign that are only fully paid off once you beat the raid" Unlike the Tangled Shore, you won't go to the Dreaming City until you finish the campaign & even then, you might not be powerful enough to face the threats that lurk within- there's even a quest after the campaign concludes to reopen access to this mythic land. This is the elven homeland under threat from an insidious dragon that has infected its heart. Filigreed domes encompass vine-encrusted terraces. Towering suspension bridges cross vast gulfs high above the ground. Cloistered shrines hide ancient gnarled trees whose roots stretch out & down cliff edges. Craggy mountains dotted with green beg to be explored. The Dreaming City is also infected by the curse of the Taken, which you'll learn about right as you arrive for the first time, as you're pulled into the Ascendant Realm & nearly overcome by Taken foes. The Dreaming City will change from one week to the next along a three-week cycle. New secrets and missions reveal themselves overtime, Enemy configurations & power levels increase. The Taken Curse takes greater hold and the environmental art changes to suit. At the end of the cycle, a greater secret awaits discovery for pinnacle players to confront. "Over weeks, the destination becomes more and more cursed & it's more evident that things are not right here & the players are the ones that start this change to the world" [b][u]Vendor[/u][/b] As the destination changes, the new Vendor move locations each week too; Petra Venj is the new vendor & guiding character of the Dreaming City. [b][u]New Activities[/u][/b] Loot caches provide offerings to take to the Blind Well, a vast cathedral of an arena where three to six players can confront a new take on wave-based fights ala Court of Oryx, Archon's Forge or Escalation Protocol. "The entire arena gets shrouded in poison Taken gas, except for the places you're allowed to fight, as you work your way around, you get more & more real estate to fight in. It culminates in a boss & you have to utilize those places you defended to take out the boss." Wandering around the periphery of the city, dropped flasks allow players to briefly glimpse into the Ascendant Realm to face special challenges, or travel along platforms or tunnels that don't exist in the real world to find secret chests. Mysterious portals, usually hidden in hard-to-find spots, link together distant portions of the destinations. [b][u]New Raid[/u][/b] Looming at the center of the city is a great castle on the mountain called the Keep of Voices, where the new raid will be. Within, we're promised the continuation of the narrative introduced with Uldren's madness in the campaign & the reveal of the greater threat behind the curtain. [b][u]New Weapon Type[/u][/b] [b]The Bow[/b] A skill-focused archetype. We'll be able to get Short, Medium & Long-range bows. Pulling the string more will increase the distance & damage the bow does. [b][u]New Power Level & Levelcap[/u][/b] Forsaken moves the level cap up to 50 & the power cap to 600. [b][u]Weapon Slot Changes[/u][/b] (W= Primary/Kinetic ammo - S= Special/Green ammo - H= Heavy/Purple ammo) Weapon Type(s) - Slot 1 - Slot 2 - Slot 3 Auto RifleW - Yes Yes No Pulse RifleW - Yes Yes No Scout RifleW -Yes Yes No HandcannonW - Yes Yes No SMGW - Yes Yes No BowW - Yes Yes No SidearmW - Yes Yes No Sniper RifleS - Yes Yes No FusionS - Yes Yes No Linear FusionH - No No Yes Rocket LauncherH - No No Yes SwordH - No No Yes (Shotguns & Grenade Launchers have been left out as it's still unclear what slots can be used) [b][u]New Supers[/u][/b] [b][u]Hunter[/u][/b] [b]Gunslinger:Blade Barrage[/b] Knife-trick melees fling out a fan of burning blades. In turn, killing enemies recharges your knife trick, and burning enemies also recharge your dodge. BLADE BARRAGE doubles down on your knife skills to expel a volley of explosive knives. [b]Arcstrider:Whirlwind Guard[/b] Slide before a melee to unleash a staff-powered uppercut, and any melee hits increase your reload speed. All your arc abilities electrify your enemies & subsequent melee strikes disorient them & refuel your abilities. Use your staff super like normal if desired, but WHIRLWIND GUARD means that you can guard by spinning your staff, reflecting back projectiles & tripling your staff's damage afterward. [b]Nightstalker:Spectral Blades[/b] Your melee smoke bomb heavily damages & slows those in its path. Nail the perfect precision kill against a foe to vanish & gain truesight. SPECTRAL BLADES drops you into a veil of shadows to slip behind foes & stab them before they know you're even there. [b][u]Titan[/u][/b] [b]Sunbreaker:Siege Hammer[/b] Throw your hammer with the melee button, but it remains in the world - risk retrieving it where it fell to fully recharge your melee ability & trigger health regen. The more solar-ability kills you get, the higher your damage, up to 3x. SIEGE HAMMER creates a flaming maul that hits like an earthquake & leaves behind flame tornadoes. [b]Striker:Thundercrash[/b] While airborne, melee to slam into the ground like a bunker buster & gain super energy for your trouble. If you pick up ammo while sliding you automatically reload your equipped weapon & increase weapon damage for a short time. THUNDERCRASH sends you hurtling great distances like a missile to hit a targeted area like a meteor strike. [b]Sentinel:Barrier Shield[/b] Melees cause explosions, but all void ability damage also attaches a Void Detonator & any subsequent damage causes the detonator to go off & attach detonators to enemies caught in the explosion. Grenade energy partially recharger for you and nearby allies when detonators trigger. BANNER SHIELD can still be used for offense like normal, but holding guard creates a barrier wall of light that absorbs enemy attacks but allows ally attacks to pass through. [b][u]Warlock[/u][/b] [b]Dawnblade:Well of Radiance[/b] Melee attacks burn bad guys, but empower allies. Transform your grenade (by holding the button) into a Blessing, a projectile that heals allies & drops retrievable overshield orbs. WELL OF RADIENCE slams your solar sword into the ground, creating a wide-radius area that rapidly heals & enpowers your friends. Any ability that heals or enpower helps regen your non-Super abilities. [b]Stormcaller:Chaos Reach[/b] Tap the melee button to fling out a long-distance electricity ball that eventually detonates and flings a lightning bolt straight downward. Arc kills sometimes create Ionic Traces, a spark of raw arc energy that travels across the ground toward you, which can be collected to recharge abilities. CHAOS REACH fires a long-range blue beam of intense and focused damage dealing, which can be deactivated early to save energy. [b]Voidwalker:Nova Warp[/b] A new Atomic Breach melee ability creates a void explosion at range, while holding the grenade button down creates a short-range area explosion Supernova. Any void ability kills now heal you & grant ability energy. NOVA WARP enpowers you with trans-dimensional hopping abilities, letting you repeatedly teleport short distances & then erupt in a burst of energy.
