Right now, you can get a headstart on the Moments of Triumph, as Bungie began detailing some of the Moments of Triumph that players will race to complete. By completing the milestones, players will earn points that can be redeemed once the Solstice of Heroes event begins at the end of July.
In the upcoming Forsaken expansion, Bungie is tripling down on the Supers that give every Guardian a brief chance to shine on the battlefield. Every available subclass is getting a brand new skill tree, with those new additions ending with a deadly new Super to unleash. While the actual path of power will be staggered and will take weeks to complete for all three Guardian classes after Forsaken launches, it’ll be well worth the effort as the new subclasses will offer substantial new tweaks and strategies to the Destiny sandbox. Here’s a quick breakdown of all nine new classes.
The gold standard in Destiny 2, Exotics are ludicrously powerful death-dealers that offer unique perks. Vigilance Wing vomits out an entire five shots per pull of the trigger, Graviton Lance is still gaming’s audio anarchy delight and Crimson would give Dirty Harry an erection that could be seen from space if he were to ever wield it. So on that note, here’s another wonderfully broken gun that you’ll be grinding after when the Forsaken expansion arrives in September: The Cerberus +1.

Over on Game Informer, a whole heap of new details were revealed regarding the hateful eight, and how they came to be.
The entire driving force in Destiny 2: Forsaken is revenge. This is an expansion that doesn’t focus on saving the day or preventing the extinction of mankind by disabling a space station super-weapon that can cause entire stars to go supernova. This is a chase, a journey to get your hands around the neck of Prince Uldren and squeeze the life out of his jerkass face once and for all, his true motivations be damned for killing Cayde-6. Kind of unusual, right?
The biggest draw of Collections in Destiny 2: Forsaken, is that it’ll enable players to grab whatever weapons, armor, ghosts, ships, sparrows, emblems or shaders they want, for a small price of course.
