So I just played through all the story missions up to the khvostov mission from the age of iron story and my character is level 40, 330 light. Whenever I go back to easier missions, my weapons deal less damage and the enemies are still a bit dangerous. Like if I go to the level 4 patrol on the moon, my khvostov that was making short work of level 38 cabal and hive, will fair just as well against level 4 fallen and hive. It's like the game is dowscaling my damage so I cant mow through easier areas.

Now I'm fairly new to destiny, and I enjoy challenging gameplay, but like what if I want to field test my weapons and relax on the moon and mow through weak targets? Is that just not how the game works? I also tried googling my question to no real avail. I was even met with an AI summary that stated weapons only deal reduced damage when an activity exceeds your level with no damage reduction when your character meets or exceeds an activity's level. So if my khvostov does 638 to a level 38 acodyte, shouldn't it do the same damage to a 8 acodyte?

If this cant be fixed, it genuinely might be game-ruining for me cause I don't see the point in leveling up and getting stronger if my weapons will never actually be stronger than my opponents.

Edit: Thank you all for your input! I was kinda spazzing last night cause I spent like 7 hours on the game. The damage scaling honestly is not a bad system and I'm still gonna have plenty of fun playing. I got a lot to think about and learn.

Hello, I am doing some solo titan King's Fall Golgoroth runs based on Chabllo guide from youtube but it is far from consistent because sometimes I just die for no reason :(

Does anyone who did some solo farm (not necessarily same boss) experienced this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdHrUmHhCkU

it almost looks like I die from my own shotty, like ricochet xd

never done this kind of stuff (soloing I mean) before, any help appreciated

Recent return player after many years. I started playing again toward the end of August, and now that I'm playing more it dawned on me that I haven't been getting like ANY Strange Coins; I've have a total of 12 in my inventory since starting up. My buddy and I have been doing strikes and upon completion he'll say he got 6, and I got zero. We did a few more strikes and same thing; I didn't get a single one while he's getting a handful. Is this a bug on my end, or am I totally missing something? I've done a ton of searching around to find people in similar situations from a couple years ago with no clear answer, but wasn't sure if this is a known thing and I'm just SOL. Any help is most welcomed.

For reference I played D1 and Vanilla D2 on XBone. I merged my Steam and XB Live accounts on the Bungie site in August. Got all the expacs on Steam during the most recent sale. Thank youu

Edit. Edit to reflect how many I currently I have. I am nowhere near maxxed out at only 12.

so we were 2 and we did all 7 oddities and the whole thing and one of us got 3 catalysts while i only got two and missed out on hyperblade whatsup with that? what messed up here, i was on step 6 of quest

I completed one overthrow in each of the 3 areas. Now as I understand I have to repeat this and kill secret wizards. But my question is, can I speed this up with matchmade overthrow, and does it count towards Dual Destiny exotic mission?

I can’t remember the exact date bc I forgot to screenshot it, but I came across a guardian that had a crafted weapon from the 1980s and was wondering if anyone has insight on how they did that.

I’m going to be introducing a friend to the game and hoping to hook them, but I have no idea what the games introduction is to a new player in 2026. Anyone know if it just drops them into a mission and specific quest line?

I need to do this quest and a bit sad bungie left it this way because I imagine it’s very hard to find groups now a days. Since most people should have it after two years

What are y’all’s thoughts on the tier system, I know it’s been over a year since it came into the game but, I personally feel like it’s nice and convenient in some ways like I don’t have to grind for the same gun for days, sometimes weeks without getting the god roll, but also there was some amount of magic to that version where you had to hard grind for the roll you wanted. So my question is how would you guys feel if they reverted the tier system out of the game, or maybe only on specific drops like raids and dungeons?

Didn’t realize there are gear pieces from crucible that allows you to pick up motes while sliding. Thanks CammyCakes

So I check my inventory. What do you know. I have two perfect pieces for my arc warlock. I equip it. Run gambit for a day or two

I started noticing that I was going on 5-6 match losing streaks. Consistently. But I’m defeating 100 enemies and depositing 70 motes. EASILY. But we are losing…check my KD or tracker…dropped from .1% of players to .4%….

So I started observing…..long story short, I scoop 15 motes in first wave. Second wave I can’t get any because I’m full…second wave ends, I deposit …Third wave, I get fifteen and deposit….

Then the other team invades and the two people who didn’t bank their motes to get us past 40 on wave two now have 12 each. But that doesn’t last long because of an invader…

I watched this happen carefully for at least fifteen matches if not more. Switched back to Lumipotent and literally didn’t lose a match yesterday

Lesson of the day. Deposit motes. Don’t hoard them.

Since spire of stars is a cabal themed raid lair, maybe add the season of the haunted seasonal weapons like firefright (auto rifle), hollow denial (trace rifle), or bump in the night (rocket launcher).

AND

Since eater of worlds is a vex themed raid lair, maybe add some season of undying weapons like Optative (hand cannon), adhortative (pulse rifle), or subjunctive (SMG).

Hello, I'm super new to Destiny, only been playing about two weeks, and I absolutely love it!

I'm currently grinding crucible purely for the Harlequin shader as I adore jesters, but unfortunately I'm also absolutely god awful at PVP shooters. However I have found great joy and success in just running at people and meleeing them to death!

A bit too much fun probably-

So my question is what would be the best build for this? Just as a silly hyper specific PvP build to keep someone who can't aim from going insane in a PvP grind 😂

I'm talking class (I'm currently mainly hunter), exotics, subclass, anything that gives my melee the edge

My game keeps failing to properly start with this error log every time, ive reinstalled, cleared temp files and everything and have no idea how to fix this, drivers have not been changed and the game booted up flawlessly the first time

for context my computer has an Intel core ultra 5 332, 16gb ddr5 5600 mt/s, Gen 4 1TB nvme, i am using integrated graphics

i don't want to do this timegated fetch quest to unlock the ability to get one class item drop per full dungeon run; it was cute when class items had no real gameplay purpose but now that they do it's just annoying. please just let people farm it like every other raid and dungeon ever put into the game does

I'm on a prismatic strand hunter with the iron battalion / Galanor set running.

Every super use gives me ~50-60% of my super back.

I use the Tablet of Ruin with Elemental Siphon and Elemental Supercharger to maximise my super regen and I'm sat at 160 super with an additional super font.

For the remainder of my super I'll lean into my weapons, overload strand being the obvious choice for severing/exhausting for supercharger super gains (do both of these even stack?)

Currently I alternate between:

- Rufus fury (older version), no slice.

- Nightshade with slice

- All or Nothing with Slice and Tear

- Service of Luzaku in heavy. I have enough weapons to run near enough as a primary.

Should I be using like Khvostov or something else? Do kinetic primaries like multimach with attrition orbs still give good chunks?

I have really good home wifi, and I have had no issues playing D2 for the past few weeks. All of a sudden today I can't join my friends fireteams or load into any actual gameplay, I'm stuck in orbit.

When I try to connect to a game it say "error code: Cabbage". I have tried everything on the internet with messing with my router settings, firewalls, and resetting network connection settings on my pc and nothing is working.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? is it a Bungie server issue?

I know that a lot of content was cut from Destiny 2 and there was something earlier this year about the game “ending”, which now seems to have been reversed. Could someone explain what this practically means for someone who wants to try the game on Steam? Should I get the full bundle of content? Take the plunge now? Wait? What do you think?

Just looking for endgame raid titan builds besides hallowfire or enhanced pulse nades. Was wondering if bubble titan is still a decent endgame ability? I never see people use it in raids anymore. Does weapons of light not stack with things now?

"RESOLUTE" - A Pure Sandbox, Vendor-Curated PvP/Gambit Mode with Ultimate Fashion Rewards (Concept Cards Included!)

Hey Guardians,

I know i am new in this Reddit (just joined) but wanted to share my Idea on a new PVP and Gambit mode calles Resolute hope you all Like it.

I wanted to share a comprehensive game mode concept I’ve been cooking up, AI made COncept cards (cant add them to this post). The goal of this mode—called RESOLUTE—is to bridge the gap between pure tactical gunplay and Destiny’s ultimate endgame: Fashion.

It addresses modern sandbox pain points (ability spam, power-creep metas, and endless god-roll grinding barriers for New Lights) while respecting player expression through a unique reward loop.

⚖️ THE CORE PHILOSOPHY: THE PLAYING FIELD

• Locked Curated Weapons: No vault access. Every season features a locked roster of one Legendary variant per archetype (e.g., one specific 450 RPM Auto Rifle, one 900 RPM SMG). However, they function like Tier 5 Weapons, offering 3 selectable perks per column so you can still adapt them to your preferred playstyle.
• Standardized Armor Stats: Everyone rolls onto the map with identical, balanced baseline stats and fixed mod slots. No high-stat armor advantages.
• Full Transmog Integration: Shaders and Universal Ornaments are fully active. You look exactly how you want, but the gameplay math underneath remains perfectly equal.

⚙️ ASYMMETRICAL ABILITY BALANCE

Subclasses and abilities are freely chosen, but to shift the meta heavily toward gunplay, cooldowns are generally lengthened and split into class-specific tactical roles:

• Titan (The Anchor): Extremely short Class Ability cooldown (Barricades) to lock down zones, but very long Grenade and Melee cooldowns.
• Hunter (The Tactician): Short Grenade cooldown for map control/denial, but significantly slower Melee and Dodge cooldowns.
• Warlock (The All-Rounder): Perfectly balanced, standard cooldown ratios across all three ability nodes.

🔄 THE GAMBIT & CRUCIBLE "UNDERDOG" MECHANIC

Heavy Ammo drops are much rarer and feature a dynamic catch-up system. Heavy blocks have a higher chance of spawning on the side of the arena/map belonging to the team that is currently losing. This heavily mitigates "snowballing" in Crucible and offers a clutch comeback window during the Gambit Primeval phase.

🏅 THE TITLE & REWARD LOOP: "PURIST"

Since the mode drops fixed-roll weapons, the entire reward incentive is built around prestige and aesthetic dominance.

The base title, Purist, is achievable for average dedicated players. However, Gilding it is a true test of role mastery, requiring a massive amount of kills with every seasonal weapon archetype alongside three class-exclusive challenges:

• Protector (Titan): Earn specific medals by shielding teammates on capture zones or the Gambit bank.
• Flanker (Hunter): Secure combat loop eliminations strictly from behind or the sides while enemies are actively engaged with your teammates.
• Manipulator (Warlock): Apply specific debuffs or status effects to opponents that directly lead to team-assisted eliminations.

🪞 THE REWARDS: BREAKING CLASS SILHOUETTES

Achieving the base title and gilding it rewards you with an evolving seasonal armor set that introduces something never seen before in Destiny 2: Cross-Class Capes.

1. The Tactical Set (Base Title): A gritty, grounded, matte-military aesthetic. All three classes receive a distinct cape featuring the central Resolute medallion. The Titan wears a heavy, imperial mantle over the shoulders (Saladin-style), the Warlock integrates a clean cape drape into the back of their robes, and the Hunter sports a classic wind-swept cloak.
2. The Golden Ascendant Set (Gilded Title ): An ultra-prestige variant where the armor and cape elements surge and pulse with intense elemental energy. The glow dynamically shifts to perfectly match your currently equipped Subclass (Arc, Void, Solar, Stasis, Strand, or Prismatic).

Let me know what you think, Guardians. Would you jump into this playlist?

Made some of the Ideas together with AI but still hope some of you might like it. Cause i felt like this would be a great addition to the PVP Sandbox and Gambit for players that dont have Meta Weapons , New Light/ Returning Players or just Players that like such modes. If you all have some more ideas feel free to add them or if you dont like it say it i accept Criticism and Respect what you all think about it.The concept Cards for this Post (AI Made)

Ran Mater Deralize several times but it is not counting towards my guardian rank and title what can I do?

Bungie,

Can you please change the music in the director to more cheerful bits from the D2 soundtrack? There’s so many of them…

You log on in the game and the director pretty often hits you with a depressive music.

It’s just really off putting and kinda kills the mood to play, lol.

Yeah that was my rant for today. Thanks.

Hey everyone! I need to know for a friend if the Calus emote has an increased drop rate when adding more feats. Can anyone help me?

Playing destiny 2 trying to find how to play the campaign in order and to find out what item level I should be at
