Oh man, where do I even start? Destiny 2 — I swear this game has more drama than a soap opera.
Picture this: folks hunched over their keyboards, fingers dancing over keys like some weird techno ballet, all for The Desert Perpetual raid. Sounds intense, right? And it was. On July 19, right when you thought things couldn’t get crazier, Bungie dropped this beast of a raid. People glued to screens, teaming up with friends or whoever was around, just to tackle it in Contest Mode. But — wait, here comes the twist — a bunch of those teams? Cheaters! Like, 70% of fireteams had at least one member pulling some shady moves. Bungie went all Sherlock Holmes on it, and obviously, some got the boot from the “World First” bragging rights.
Anyway, now that the dust’s settling — or trying to, like when my cat knocks stuff over and pretends nothing happened — Destiny 2 players can dive back into The Desert Perpetual. Grab your buddies or whatever newbie wants to tag along.
Oh, right! Side note: this whole cheating saga? Totally had me raising an eyebrow. Like, why? Just play fair, people.
It’s kinda hilarious — or tragic, can’t decide — people scrambling for raid checkpoints. Enter Reddit user StableSalto with this genius idea: a Twitch bot cluster. Sounds sci-fi, right? But nah, it’s this volunteer patchwork of Twitch streams. Got names like LuckBot9, D2Checkpoints, and some others. Perfect for players scouting for secret chests or whatever loot is out there. I mean, who doesn’t like treasure hunts?
Speaking of, Destiny 2 players have all sorts of options now. Twitch streams or LFG communities — you name it. Though, fair warning, those groups fill up faster than a hipster coffee shop on free espresso day during peak times. And if you’re off-peak? Good luck, soldier. Maybe try befriending some Australian night owls or something.
And just when you thought your loot grind was over, Destiny 2 pulls you back in. The Final Shape dropped and bam! New endgame chase. Tier 5 armor anyone? But gotta hit a power level of 390 or something? Insane. Plus, there’s Arms Week! I’m not even sure what that is at this point — must’ve missed the memo — but hey, sounds important.
Anyway — no, hang on — all this? Just another day in Destiny 2’s universe. Happy raiding, guardians.
