Destiny 2 Legendary Sword for Pre-Order. Materials for pre-order "rejected". Why are legendary shards needed

Bungie has released a Destiny 2 update bringing the legendary Last Word Revolver back to the game.

What is known

To get the weapon, gamers will have to go through a quest consisting of five stages. First you need to go to the Wanderer and run to a character named Wanderer, who will hand over the task "Ready". In the first part, you need to clear the artifact from the disease by killing the hive soldiers. The easiest way to complete the mission on Mars is by activating the Escalation Protocol.

In the second phase, you will have to go to the Crucible PvP mode and kill the guards, filling the meter. The catch is that killing an enemy fills the progress bar, but the player's death, on the contrary, takes away the earned points. So it's worth playing carefully.

After completing the second phase, head to Titan in the Lost Sector Cargo Bay 3 and kill the boss. To defeat the leader, you need to kill the witches who support his shields, and then stuff the scoundrel himself with lead.

Then we fly again to the Drifter and take orders from him for the next stage. Now the player needs to kill hive fighters in the head, collecting Maggots, go through the heroic version of the Ritual of the Hive event and kill fugitive criminals in the lost sectors. The fourth part of the task will be more difficult: you need to go to the Crucible again, but now you will destroy the opponents who killed you or a member of your team.

After completing the task, go to the Drifter again and take from him the order to complete the mission, which will take place on the Tangled Shore. The player needs to find a hive gunsmith named Enkaar and kill him.

The mission is simple, and the difficulty lies in the boss battle. The catch is that the battle will be like a cowboy duel in which the player will have to knock the weapon out of the hands of Enkaar and his minions. In the first stage of the duel there will be one opponent, then there will be two of them, and at the end as many as three. They will all have to knock their weapons out of their hands, and you need to shoot in the order they appear.

Note that the Last Word revolver was created specifically for PvP mode and should not be taken for raids or exploring the world of Destiny 2.

Bungie and Activision have motivated players to buy Destiny 2 pre-orders by offering the Exotic Rifle Frozen and the Kill Meter Ghost as bonuses. As it turned out, getting these bonuses in the game is not so easy.

Bungie and Activision have motivated players to buy Destiny 2 pre-orders by offering the Exotic Rifle Frozen and the Kill Meter Ghost as bonuses. As it turned out, getting these bonuses in the game is not so easy.

How to get the Frozen Rifle and the Kill Counter Ghost in Destiny 2

Unfortunately, you will not be able to shoot the legionnaires of the Red Legion with a fashionable rifle and poke its barrel into Gole's face. You can get a Cold Heart only after full passage single player campaign "Red War".

Obtaining a Legendary Sword from Destiny 2 Expanded or Collector's Edition will also require completing the story campaign.

For some reason, the same limitation applies to the Ghost Kill Counter. An Advanced Ghost, capable of counting all the kills of your Guardian, will appear only after completing the story. When these conditions are met, all three pre-order bonuses can be picked up at the Farm.

Emotions and emblems

There is good news, too. The Solo Campaign completion requirement does not apply to Legendary Gestures, Cabal Emblems, and Veteran Emblems given to players for merit in Destiny 1.

You can get all these items almost at the very beginning of the game. To do this, you need to get to the Farm, the social hub of Destiny 2, and get to the player's Vault. All gestures and emblems will be waiting for you inside. The vault is located on a small area next to the fountain, not far from the Tess Everis canopy. Engrams and some emotions can also appear in Pochmeister.

Please note that these requirements do not apply to emotions and emblems that are part of the Limited Edition. They will only be available after completing the campaign.

Destiny 2 was released for personal computers on October 24. Up to this point, the developers have motivated players to pre-order the game by offering instead the fancy Frozen rifle, a unique version of the ghost that counts all the kills of a character, and a special salute to an empty head.

All players who ended up pre-ordering were faced with the question yesterday: "Where can I get the promised pre-order bonuses?" Yesterday I asked myself it and I, running around the Farm in search of an NPC, from whom I could get my honestly bought things. All I found was a special greeting and emblem in the Farm Storage.

How to get items for pre-order

It turned out that from the very beginning it would not be possible to chop up enemies from the Frozen collectible rifle and count the victims that fell at your hands with the original Ghost-counter. Destiny 2 developers have made an interesting move and will issue items for pre-order only after completing the single player campaign "Red War". This item concerns the rifle.

A ghost that counts murders will appear at you only when you complete the story. Regarding the sword from the extended edition - it will be given after the passage of the story campaign.

Once the stated conditions are met, you can claim your collectible pre-order bonuses at the Farm.

Conclusion

One can only guess what caused such a decision by the developers, but, probably, this was done in order not to give newcomers a serious advantage at the very start of the game, but to force them to pass all the tests on equal terms with those who buy the game after the release.

So, the well-known good PvP revolver, which many have been waiting for since the launch of the Black Armory add-on, finally became available in the game after going through a difficult quest chain in places.

And also, based on the video with the “Last Word” demonstration, another favorite weapon from the first part will also appear in the game in the upcoming expansion. This, of course, is about the Thorn revolver.

To begin with, in order to get the main task at all, we go to the tower and talk to the drifter, along the way reading dialogues and lore, he should give you an item that now needs to be “charged”.

Looking ahead, so as not to write once again, the main opponents of this task will be the representatives of the Hive, so below, by opponents, I mean them.

And by the way, the alternative skin for this weapon is somewhat reminiscent of a revolver from the work of Trigan.

Step one- your first task is to collect special items that fall when you kill any warriors of the Hive, destroy X number of representatives of the Hive from weapons with solar damage and, finally, just kill three bosses.

Perhaps the easiest step in the entire quest chain and the easiest, for example, to go to Mars in the Lost Sector, or simply complete a few waves of the protocol.

Step two- we go to report the results to the drifter, after which we get the first PvP task, in which the game will ask you to collect the light of other guards, killing them. Moreover, the percentage scale, in addition to filling, will also decrease if your character was killed or died, it even counts if you just jump into the abyss.

The first difficult point, if you, like me, do not like PvP, but it is important to understand that in addition to killing, assists are also counted here. Also at the time of this writing, the Mayhem mode is enabled, in which the ult recovers very quickly, I was just there and filled the percentages, tying opponents through the entrance to the orpheus.

Step three- a special mission will appear on Titan in which you need to kill the boss, he will be in a small lost sector where the golem usually lives. Initially, your first task is to kill two witches in order to remove the invulnerability shield from the boss, after which you can inflict damage, it seems like at about half HP, he will again close with a shield and call upon the knights. They will also need to be killed, but my boss died before this stage with one ult.

Step four- we again go to the drifter to receive instructions, and this step is perhaps the longest and most tedious. In total, the user is assigned four main tasks:

• Collect 15 Crystals from Wanted Lost Sector Bosses.
• Collect 25 PvP Medals. Only two types of medals are taken into account here, where the first is “Blood for Blood” (to kill the player who just killed your party member), and the second is “Best Served Cold” (to kill the player who killed you).
• 50 special items from opponents killed with critical damage, but keep in mind that items do not fall 100% from every enemy.
• Complete three Heroic Public Events “Ritual” - these activities must be watched on Titan or Mars.

Step five- here you just need to complete the solo mission in Tangled Shore and keep in mind that the minimum recommended level here is 650, so if you are lower, it will be difficult. I will not describe the path to the boss, since there you just need to clear out various representatives of the Hive.

The user will have to play several times in the stereotypical game of the inhabitants of the Wild West "Fast and Dead" together with the master of weapons of the Hive.

The fact is that you will not have to fight against the boss directly, after you reach the room with the boss, a pentagram will appear on the ground, which you will need to stand on in order to summon the boss, and Last Word itself.

After a while, the boss will begin to raise his hand (it will also light up), preparing to make a fatal shot, your task is just to take Last Word and shoot in the hand so that the boss disappears.

As soon as you successfully shoot the boss's hand, he will disappear and a wave of enemies will appear, after you kill everyone, immediately look for a rune to stand on. Only this time the boss will call his copy with a delay, and you will need to quickly shoot twice in the hand.

Once again we kill all opponents and again stand on the rune, after which we repeat the process already described above, only now two additional copies of the boss will appear and it is necessary to shoot three times.

This time, the boss will finally die and you will be given a pistol along with the task, by the way, if you die, the checkpoint will be at the very beginning before the first call of the boss.

As a result, we get the following scheme:

• We kill everyone on the way to the boss.
• We stand on the rune and shoot at the boss's hand from Last Word.
• We clean up the mobs.
• We get up on the rune and already shoot twice at the boss's hand and his copies from Last Word.
• We clean up the mobs.
• We stand on the rune and shoot the boss and two copies of it from Last Word for the last time.

Step six- we go to the drifter and listen to his speech, that's it, the quest is completed, and you have a revolver from the first part in your pocket.

Also on official servers Patch 2.1.4 was installed, which introduced a number of fixes to various systems of the game, but since the list is very long, below I have highlighted a few of the most important points.

You can familiarize yourself with the full list here (everything has been translated into Russian).

• The bungie team has significantly rebalanced the game, making changes to almost all the superpowers of the guards, as well as affecting the bonuses of some traits.
• As a result, the team has changed the Exotic Armor bonuses that affect abilities, such as Shards of Galanor and Vest of Gwisin.
• In addition to abilities, some specific types of weapons and whole types of weapons have undergone balancing, for example, scout rifles and machine guns have increased their damage by several percent.
• Finally, activities throughout the solar system have been revised.

Destiny 2 continues the confrontation between the inhabitants of the Earth and hostile aliens seeking to seize the remaining territories of the people. Under the onslaught strong army Of the Red Legion, earthlings are losing the battle, losing their last city... The Guardians, the main protectors of humanity, are losing their abilities and can no longer resist the enemy.
Players will play the role of new heroes of the Guardians who will explore other planetary systems in search of weapons that can defeat the Red Legion and destroy the plans of its leader Ghaul.

There are three races on the side of the Guardians:

• Humans are small remnants of the human race. Most of the people died during the first alien attacks.
• Exo - androids or cyborgs created by humans after acquiring the latest space technologies. Originally, the Exos were developed to aid in the war against invaders, but later they became an independent race.
• The Awakened are a reshaped human race. Outwardly, they look like humans, but they have blue skin. The history of their appearance is shrouded in mystery: it is known that some of the people who left the Earth during the onset of Darkness fled to the Reef, where they underwent changes.

There are several other races that oppose the Guardians.

The player can choose from three classes: Hunter, Titan, Warlock.

Hunters - warriors who were previously outlawed, they traveled through the abandoned lands in search of treasures, made secret sorties, unexpectedly attacked enemies. These lone wolves prefer to use edged weapons, revolvers, sniper rifles... Hunters are very agile and fast, but their defense is not high enough to withstand a lot of damage, so the best tactic of the Hunter's combat is "quick attack - dodge". They have many effective superpowers to get out of their most difficult situations.
Titans are the main guards and creators of the wall that protects the last stronghold of people, the City. They have the strongest armor plus the highest strength level. In addition to their heavy armor, the titans are equipped with large-caliber rifles and shotguns, they use rocket launchers and cannons. And when the time comes to engage in close combat, the titans do not take up edged weapons, relying only on their own strength. Thanks to her, they easily ram enemies, striking them with their powerful hands. In the game, they play the role of classic tanks, protecting not only themselves, but also other members of the group.
Warlocks are a class of characters that occupy a kind of intermediate position between a titan and a hunter. They have fairly strong armor, while at the same time they are quite fast. In battles, warlocks, or in other words, sorcerers, use the space magic of the Wanderer. They attack opponents from afar with bunches of energy, create energy fields, and increase their own characteristics.

These are the main guardian classes carried over from the first Destiny. However, the developers do not deny the possibility of the appearance of new races, classes, subclasses, which will appear in additional materials for the new game.

Destiny 2 release

The past part of Destiny, although it was warmly received by critics, but showed some flaws in terms of the script, as well as, as some users noted, "soulless gameplay." The developers took into account the mistakes and put the history of the guards in the first place, paid attention to the biographies of the characters, made them "alive". The defenders of humanity have their own clearly defined goal, the meaning of actions, which gives special interest to the plot. Players will be greeted by a post-apocalyptic world with its own secrets and secrets, where real heroes act to fight evil.

The authors promise many hundreds of hours of exciting gameplay, a wide world, many levels, challenging missions. Due to the huge interest of the entire gaming community around this project, several features of Destiny 2 can be noted:

• Publisher Activision, which scheduled the game for fall 2017, noted that the number of pre-order users was the highest in the company's history. Moreover, the keys were bought at a time when no one even saw the gameplay itself.
• A large amount of additional content is promised to be released after the official release, which will contribute to the stable development of the project.

• The PC version of the game will be slightly different from other platforms, it will have its own features, special post-release content, and support. However, according to rumors, the game will appear on personal computers later than PS and Xbox. It became known that Destiny 2 on PC will be distributed through Blizzard app(and this the only game third party developers in it).
• According to the developers, the gameplay of the second Destiny will be markedly different from the original. Among the interesting changes are new types of raids and raids, modes of passage "Adventure" and "Lost Sectors" with treasures and bosses at the end, PvP in the "Countdown" format, the clan system.
• Activision is actively fueling players' interest and encouraging them to buy the most complete titles by releasing bonus content and rewarding users who decide to pre-order. For example, the latter will receive dynamic themes on the screen with the heroes of Destiny 2 as a gift. Also on sale will be a book of more than two hundred pages containing a collection of arts for the game. The extended edition comes with special game items, collectible boxes with brochures, cards, character action figures.
