If there’s one thing that Destiny 2 got right from day one, it was the idea of making its currency a lot less convoluted. Want to upgrade a gun or grab a few mods? A combination of Glimmer and Legendary Shards is all that you needed, resources which were available easily and often enough. While world resources could be used to purchase engrams from other characters in Destiny 2, it’s a system that largely focuses on the big two of its cryptarcho-currency but also a system that’s going to be receiving a substantial change in the massive Destiny 2.0 update on August 28.

Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight to spend some of your legendary shards on new armour and weapons in Destiny 2. In that case: Where is Xur?

A brand new location as dangerous and mysterious as it is beautiful, Destiny 2's Dreaming City looks to be another big step in the right direction for Bungie's sci-fi shooter. Filled with puzzles, loot, and lore, this new location will test players both just looking for an open-world experience and some strategic high-level raid action.

I’m currently loving the hell out of the grind to get my Guardian ready for Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion, which has also resulted in me returning to some of the reworked Exotics along the way as I decide to give my trusty Graviton Lance a break from all the salt in the Crucible. And holy balls, has Riskrunner only earned its spot right at the top of my gun charts.

In a livestream last night, Bungie detailed this new approach to weapons, that is aimed (Ha!) at making these tools of death feel a bit more special when one drops for you. Here’s the breakdown of what was revealed last night.

Did you know that only a few thousand Guardians possess the best PVP pulse rifle, Redrix’s Claymore? Or that in the one week that it was available to collect, over 194 000 Guardians acquired Whisper of the Worm? You can see all of those numbers below, in these handy infographics from Bungie for the first year of Destiny 2.

While you’ll need to do plenty of grunt work to get armour armour completed and rekindled in Destiny 2's Solstice of Heroes event, perhaps the most taxing task is the hunt for Elemental Orbs. How do you get your hands on 250 of them quickly so that you can at least have one of the triumph bounties farmed and done in a day? Here's how.
