Destiny 2
Bungie designed Destiny 2 from the ground up without worrying about last gen consoles, and the game looks much better as a result. Destiny 2's European Dead Zone is ripe with unique activities. Here are some of the highlights from our time with the game.
Public events are full of imposing enemies like this one. However, if you can power through the challenge more quickly than normal, the event will click over and become a Heroic event, which is more challenging but offers better rewards.
The original Destiny didn’t have quest givers stationed in play zones, but that changes with Destiny 2. Devrim Kay is a sniper who sets up shop in an derelict church in old Europe. He will give you new missions and offer gear that might come in handy during your adventures.
After the Tower falls at the beginning of the game, The Red Legion invades the EDZ. Your Guardian travels to this dead zone to reclaim their powers from a shard of the Traveler.
The European Dead Zone is the largest play space Bungie has designed to date.
Adventures are a new mission type for Destiny 2. They function a lot like campaign missions in length and complexity, but are disconnected from the campaign and often tell their own side stories or reveal the history of the world and the characters you encounter.
Icons like this reveal the location of Lost Sectors, which are secret dungeons filled with harder foes. After you travel through a lost sector and defeat the boss at the end, he will drop a treasure chest filled with valuable loot.
Be sure to check out more images from the EDZ in the media gallery below. And for more on Destiny 2, check out these 92 minutes of commentary-free gameplay, or watch our breakdown of the game's new map system.
