Destiny 2 Dates, Prices, Beta details and everything else we know so far
Hi Guardians, we are coming closer and closer towards the release of Destiny 2.
And with the beta coming soon I thought it is about time to wrap up all the Destiny 2 news that we have collected so far and summarize everything that we know so far about Destiny 2.
D2 RELEASE
So let's start with the general information about Destiny 2. The release dates are now announced for all platforms. Destiny 2 will be released on Wednesday 6th September for Ps4 and the Xbox one. The release for PC will follow a month and a half later on Tuesday 24th October.
The PC version will only be sold on Battle.net.
There will be 6 editions of Destiny 2, 3 physical editions and 3 digital editions.
The limited version comes with an expansion pass, a limited edition steel case, and a cabal themed collector’s box, and premium digital content with a legendary sword, emote and an emblem. and the Collector’s edition has all the same stuff as the Limited edition but it also comes with a Destiny 2 Frontier bag.
The digital versions are the same but then without the physical goodies. So you have the Base game destiny 2, or you can choose the option with the Expansion pass and there is a digital deluxe edition where you get the expansion pass and the additional digital content.
I will make sure to add the prices in the video so you can decide which one you want to buy. Do take into account that the Destiny 2 Expansion pass with the 2 expansions, will be priced at 35 US dollars, so if you are planning to play the expansion as well and you want to save some money you may want to buy the Digital version with the expansion included to save you 5 bucks.
BETA
If you pre-order the game you will have early access to the Beta.
The Beta starts on July 18th at 10 AM pacific time for the PS4, and Xbox one users can play the beta the day after on July 19th. And the open beta where no pre-order is required starts Friday the 21st of July.
So if you are not sure yet whether to buy Destiny 2 or not, you can freely try out the beta. The beta period will end on Sunday 23rd of July.
The beta for PC will start late august.
At the Beta you will be able to play 6 subclasses , 2 for each class. You will be able to play the first mission The Home Coming and the Inverted Spire strike which you all saw at the Destiny 2 reveal stream. And for the PVp people you can try out the new Pvp mode countdown.
SUBCLASSES
Personally I can’t wait to try out the new subclasses. There will be 3 new subclasses, the arcstrider which will replace the Bladedancer, the sentinel and the warlock dawnblade.
As of now we don’t have all the details yet on each subclass, but I will show you what we do know so far for the Dawnblade, revamped gunslinger, the revamped striker and the arcstrider.
As you can see the grenades and jumps haven’t changed that much, they did changed increased control for the titan so you can not titan skate anymore.
The real changes comes in the Class ability and the Skill Trees. The class ability is a class specific ability that is shared among all subclasses , so for example all the warlock subclasses can create a circle where guardians will be healed or where their attack power is increased. When you have a look at the skill tree you can see that these are now all grouped up in 2 specific skill trees. You can not custom select certain skills anymore like in current Destiny but you have to choose between two grouped up skills.
WEAPONS
The weapon slot in Destiny 2 have been redesigned. You have two primary slots, one is kinetic and the other has an elemental damage. All the one hit kill potential weapons like sniper , fusion rifle, shotgun and rocket launchers will be in the heavy slot.
There will be 3 new weapon types added in Destiny 2, we will have grenade launchers, submachine guns and linear Fusion Rifles which can fire a long range precision energy bolt.
There will be weapon mods to change your weapons but we do not have any information so far how this will work. I believe it will be similar to call of duty where you can add mods to have a faster reload, different scope or something like that .
There is a new 5th weapon foundry called Veist, which looks very modern with predominantly black and green color scheme and it has a gothic feel to it.
Bungie also adjusted the weapons in a way to make balancing these much easier. Bungie will now be able to adjust a specific gun if this is overpowered. This is great news as they were not able to do that in Destiny 1, since any nefs in the current destiny game will apply that nerf on a whole archetype. So that is good news for the meta in the upcoming crucible in destiny 2.
Exotic quests are coming back but there will also be exotics that will randomly drop.
And you will not be able to buy faction weapons anymore from the vendor, in Destiny 2 you will earn weapons by opening packages or by leveling up.
CRUCIBLE
We also have some crucible changes. In the crucible we will have a new HUD which shows the classes of all the players in a match and you can see whether a specific player has a super or not. The new HUD will also show you when a guardian is dead or alive.
Energy weapons will now deal additional damage to guardians in their super.
So you will stand a much better chance now against supers when you are using energy weapons against them,
Ammo blocks will only be given to the person who pulled it from the case. And when you get Power ammo for your heavy weapon the game will now show you which guardian has it and what kind of power weapon you are using.
Last but not least the 6v6, 3v3, and free for all rumble are gone, all the crucible modes will be now 4 v 4.
So that is all the news so far summarized for you all. Personally I can not wait for the beta to launch so I can test all of this myself and I will share the experience with you all. Subscribe to stay up to date on that.
