Bungie has recently unveiled the Event Home feature for Destiny 2, aiming to simplify access to event information and rewards. This feature coincides with the introduction of a new Crucible game mode called Heavy Metal. While the Episode Heresy narrative has concluded, Bungie is committed to keeping players engaged until the highly anticipated Codename Frontiers arrives this summer.
As the episodic content draws to a close, Bungie acknowledges that they need to sustain player interest with fresh experiences. One such initiative is the Rite of the Nine activity, which transforms existing dungeon content, providing players with a novel experience and additional rewards. This mode initially launched prematurely, featuring unfinished elements and work-in-progress weapons.
In a recent blog post, Bungie detailed a series of sandbox changes expected to emerge over the coming months. A teaser for The Edge of Fate was shared during a live stream event on May 6. The upcoming sandbox update aims to streamline Destiny 2’s events, consolidating various aspects into a single page for easier navigation.
The new Event Home feature will replace the older Event Cards, which previously appeared alongside major in-game festivals such as Festival of the Lost, Solstice, and Guardian Games. Event Home will serve as a centralized hub for players. For the Heavy Metal Crucible mode, it presents essential details like a brief event description, Event Rank information, and a 15-rank reward track.
Additionally, players can track Daily and Weekly challenges, with Daily tasks designed for shorter gaming sessions and Weekly obligations requiring extended play. Players will also earn Event Tokens, which they can use in an in-game shop to acquire weapons, materials, and a Reroll Chip for modifying their daily challenges. As Bungie prepares for The Edge of Fate, this new feature represents just one of numerous changes aimed at evolving Destiny 2 in the years to come.
Fans can look forward to hearing more as a dedicated livestream on May 6 will reveal additional information. In Destiny 2, players become Guardians, protectors of the Last City facing various threats across the solar system. They can choose from three distinct classes: the heavily armored Titan, the mystical Warlock, or the agile Hunter, each bringing unique abilities to gameplay.
Dive into this immersive universe, experience gripping combat, and unlock powerful abilities as you forge your legend in the stars.
