Destiny 2: Shadowkeep

Destiny 2 has now had several expansions and revamps, all intended to raise the game’s standards and keep players refreshed. Curse of Osiris, Warminds, and Forsaken all had their impact, but none rivals the fourth expansion in content and quality of extensions.

The fourth expansion; Shadowkeep, hails exclusively from Binge. And unlike previous expansions, it plays on steam, thus accessible from multiple platforms. Shadowkeep takes you back to the moon, now a playable destination. 

Stimulating changes and tweaks await you in the expansion. Every inch of the game has content revamps. There are new missions, a more sophisticated range of weaponry, enhanced environments, a new raid, quests, dungeons, spruced up armor system, and game mechanics. 

What Shadowkeep Gameplay Comprises

Shadowkeep features an expanded lunar system, more PVP Crucible maps, and additional PVE strike missions. The primary revamp of the moon includes a gigantic Hive fortress where a lot of the story emanates. 

If you thought, it would get more comfortable, sorry! Eric Morn returns to unleash reincarnated monsters named Nightmares, which wreak havoc in lunar. The foes maraud the moon throughout creating trauma and conflict in all corners. Sadly, they are not the only challenges as players’ actions may reawaken Vex in the Garden of Salvation raid mission.

Armour system in Shadowkeep is a revitalized version from previous Destiny 2 expansions. The system gives players unlimited powers to customize their characters and armor to their liking. Each armor piece uses an energy system that allows for reuse and more customizations. 

With mods, players can upgrade their pieces with more energy. Meanwhile, strength, discipline, and intellect stats enable players to experiment with their grenades and melee abilities. 

In Shadowkeep, you’ll employ your best combat skills as players possess outrageous “finishing moves.” It’s therefore easy to spot out weakening foes and take them down. In case you weaken, you also face the same risk of other players hunting you when you can’t prevail in combats.

You can, however, upgrade and polish your combat abilities if you have collected sufficient artifacts. These artifacts are seasonal; thus, you lose all collections after completion of levels and quests.

Setting

Shadowkeep begins in the moon after trouble emanates from the Hive fortress. The moon’s commander instructs Guardian to search and investigate the source and cause of hive disturbance. Guardian finds out that Eric Morn, the main character triggered the whole dispute by unleashing the Nightmares from a hidden pyramid.

Eric and the Guardian, however, must team up to wipe out the Nightmares and find a way of intruding into the pyramid where more answers about the nightmares lie.
