===New Cinematic Campaign=== | |||
Destiny 2 will feature an all-new cinematic campaign with a host of new [[Story]] missions and cutscenes that will form a story unlike that seen in its predecessor. The first mission, [[Homecoming]], sends Guardians on a journey to take back [[The Last City]] and the [[Traveler]] from the [[Red Legion]], led by [[Dominus Ghaul]]. | |||
===New Cooperative Missions=== | |||
There will be brand new [[Strike]]s in Destiny 2, which will require up to 3 players to fully complete. One such strike is [[The Inverted Spire]], which sends Guardians on an attack against a [[Vex]] stronghold on [[Nessus]] and will culminate in a 3-stage boss encounter. | |||
===New Competitive Multiplayer=== | |||
The [[Crucible]] will function differently in Destiny 2. All game modes will feature two teams of four across the board. In-game, there will be a new HUD that gives the player information on the enemy team, like when their [[Super]] is ready, or when they picked up ammo for their power weapons. There will also be a brand new maps and game modes. One of the new game modes, for example, is called [[Countdown]], which is the first attack-defend game mode in the Crucible. | |||
===New Challenging Raids=== | |||
Destiny 2 will feature a new [[Raid]]. | |||
===New Patrol Modes=== | |||
[[Patrol]] activities in Destiny 2 will feature all activities from the Patrol Mode of its predecessor: patrol missions, [[Public Event]]s, materials, and loot chests. However, there will also be new [[Heroic Objective]]s, [[Adventure]]s, [[Treasure Map]]s and [[Lost Sector]]s to explore. To assist in exploring these areas, players will be able to use a map that marks all activities. | |||
===New Travel Destinations=== | |||
Destiny 2 will feature four new destinations: [[European Dead Zone]], [[Titan]], [[Io]], and [[Nessus]]. Each will feature their own detailed environments. | |||
===Weapon System=== | |||
Instead of the primary, special, and heavy weapons in Destiny, the weapon slots in Destiny 2 will be occupied by kinetic, energy, and power weapons respectively. Kinetic guns will function similarly to primaries; they will be used the most and will help with most standard encounters. Energy weapons will function similarly to special weapons; they will be used to help the player get out of tough situations. Power weapons will function similarly to heavy weapons; they will be used to turn the tide of battle in the player's favor. | |||
===Subclasses=== | |||
All classes in Destiny 2 will each get another exclusive subclass. [[Warlock]]s get access to the [[Dawnblade]], which allows them to wield a sword of fire which enables them to send of waves of flames at enemies. [[Titan]]s get access to the [[Sentinel]], which allows them to wield a shield that they can use to block damage and as either a blunt melee weapon or ranged throwing weapon. [[Hunter]]s get access to the [[Arcstrider]], which allows them to wield a spear of electricity that they can use to quickly slash everything on their path. | |||
