Summary
In an upcoming patch, Bungie is about to make the 50 wave Onslaught mode more rewarding forDestiny 2players by offering ways to earn additional weapon drops. Into The Light has been a big time boost toDestiny 2after the game has seemingly been stuck in a rough patch the past few months as a result of an expansion delay, internal issues at Bungie, and player burnout from an extended season.
Even with The Final Shape expansion now just weeks away, players have seemingly comeback toDestiny 2thanks to Into The Light. The free event added a highly requested Horde/Firefight style mode called Onslaught, letting a team of three take on waves of enemies while attempting to defend a central location from being destroyed. The event has alsobrought back 12 fan favoriteDestiny 2weaponsinto a new category called the BRAVE Arsenal, including Mountaintop, Recluse, Luna’s Howl, and more. With some players leaving Onslaught rounds early, Bungie is announcing plans to make sticking around more rewarding than ever.
In response to the feedback it had been receiving from players, Bungie announced upcoming plans to make Onslaught more rewarding and to incentivize it for players to stick around for all 50 waves. Players have been attempting tomaximize ways to farm Lord Shaxx’s Hype reputation, discovering that the first 10 or 20 waves was easy enough to farm and then leave to start over. Naturally, leaving early puts the rest of the Fireteam in a tough spot, attempting to defend the ADU device for another 30 waves being a person down. So, in an attempt to keep the three person fireteam unified, players are going to be better rewarded for their time.
How to Earn More Weapon Drops From Onslaught
To incentivize sticking around, Bungie is increasing the chance for one additional weapon to drop whenever a wave is completed. The percentage will rise after every wave is completed until the weapon finally drops, with Wave 50 guaranteeing a weapon drop for those who have not yet received one. In addition, Completing wave 50 on either Normal or Legendary will drop a bonus weapon, which guarantees at least 2 weapon drops for finishing the full Onslaught experience. Considering that newBRAVE Arsenal weapons are being added toDestiny 2each week, this change should be a good way to farm weapons as well as Shaxx reputation.
Finally, the Tweets addressed the recent discussion regarding the ability to reset Lord Shaxx’s vendor reputation earned fromDestiny 2’s Onslaught modein the Hall of Champions. Many players have reached max Hype reputation with Shaxx and have been curious as to why there’s no way to reset the vendor as there is with others in the Tower and elsewhere. While someDestiny 2players chalked it up to a bug, Bungie confirmed that there isn’t a way to reset Shaxx’s Hype reputation and that the studio never intended for it to be an option anyway, so what players are seeing is completely normal. Bungie also teased that the studio looked into adding that functionality, but for whatever reason, it wasn’t feasible.
