No Destiny 2 for you today if you're planning on playing between 4pm and 8pm.

Destiny 2 has been out for nearly a week now, which means its first raid is geared and ready to launch tomorrow. Are you strong enough to enter it though?

Before Xur gets here, you’re going to need some cold hard currency with which to trade. You’re going to need some Legendary Shards. Normally obtainable from the dismantling of Legendary and Exotic-class weapons and armour, this new currency is in short supply. Unless you know a handy trick or two.

Whatever you think of Destiny 2, one word rings true as an apt descriptor for it’s content: Substantial. Having clearly learnt a lesson from Destiny 1, Destiny 2 always feels busy. There’s a constant grind, albeit an enjoyable one in which players are earning new gear across a wide variety of activities inside of the sequel. Said activities will most likely increase even further, once Destiny 2’s first slice of DLC pops up.

Some guns define your Guardian. If you’re the Swiss Army Knife of your group, maybe the MIDA Multi-tool is your weapon of choice. Maybe you’re a master of thinning the herd, as you swap between Sturm and Drang to cause maximum damage without ever needing to reload. Because I’m a sneaky bugger who values running away more than sticking around for a fight, I’ve found a gun that describes my Guardian perfectly: The Rat King.

If you were ever in the market for a Jack of all trades gun in Destiny 1, then the MIDA Multi-Tool was a gift from the heavens. A scout rifle that was capable of tremendous damage in the right hands, ol’ MIDA was a mainstay in PVP and a reliable backup in PVE scenarios. In Destiny 2, mighty MIDA (Mooooo) is back with a fresh coat of paint. Naturally, you want it. Here’s how.

Once you’ve reclaimed your light, slaughtered an entire army of Red Legion troops and shown Dominus Ghaul what for old chap, what’s there left to do? Plenty! Destiny 2’s campaign is merely the beginning, as Bungie has a plan to keep the content-train rolling on. And this time, they’re actually sharing those plans.

Destiny 2 made some big changes to how shaders worked, and fans are naturally unhappy as they throw some shade of their own at Bungie.
