Summary
Destiny 2is drawing closer to completing a 10-year story saga with The Final Shape less than a month away. Most players are near to completing all the seasonal content and now is a good time to prepare for the final expansion release on June 4. There will be many new changes in the nextDestiny 2expansion, as well as removing several weapons and quests from the game.
Players who haven’t playedDestiny 2much in the last year have a lot of things to do in the game right now, and it’s best to stay ahead, not only to best The Witness and its allies but to prepare for the potential content that will be lost with the release of The Final Shape.
10Claim Rahool’s Secret Stash
Free Materials & Cosmetics Claimed Each Season
There are a lot of free materials in the game available right now, and it is better to go into The Final Shape loaded with upgrade materials. The best and easiest way to get some of the rare currencies in the game is byredeeming items from Rahool’s Secret Stash.
Players can find this stash terminal right behind Master Rahool. It’s important to claim these materials right now as they will be available to reclaim again when The Final Shape launches. The terminal can only hold one stash at a time, so if these materials are not claimed before The Final Shape, they won’t be available to claim the second time in The Final Shape.
9Complete Synth Bounties
ADA-1 Bounties Provide Synthweave For The Transmog System
The Final Shape will launch with tons of new content, including new armor sets. Players will need a lot of Synthweaves to create universal ornaments for their favorite builds. Bungie has recently reset all theADA-1 bountiesin the tower so players can complete up to 10 Armor Synthesis Bounties before the launch of The Final Shape.
These bounties are easy and can be completed within a few hours. Once all the bounties are completed, make sure to deposit all the Synthcords into the loom next to ADA-1 at the tower to obtain Synthweaves.
8Spend Legendary Shards
Legendary Shard Currency Will Be Sunset In The Final Shape
One of the biggest changes that is coming in The Final Shape is theremoval of legendary shardsfrom the game. Legendary shards used to be one of the most important currencies in the game, and players have been farming it from day 1 ofDestiny 2. In order to obtain the value of these legendary shards in The Final Shape, players need to convert them into other currencies.
Players can also convert some legendary shards into Glimmer, as it will be an essential currency in the next DLC. Another great option is to buy Phantasmal Fragments on the Moon, as players can always sell these fragments to Cryptarch for Glimmer.
7Turn in Engrams
Acquired Engrams Are Reset With A New Expansion
Before The Final Shape begins, players also need to check their engram trackers and turn in all the remaining engrams listed there. With the launch of every new season, all the engrams disappear, and the resources are wasted. Players can also use these engrams to focus on specific loot with the vendors, including weapons and armor sets.
Each vendor has different loot available for focusing, and engram focusing will also require some other currencies. It is better to redeem all the engrams at the end of the season, increasing the chances of getting better rewards on higher-rank resets.
6Vault Cleaning
Make Space For New Effective Weapons & Armor
Bungie releases loads of new stuff every season, but players struggle to fit it all in their vaults. With The Final Shape updatebringing 100 more slots, it’s a good idea to clear out any junk weapons before the new content drops. The best way to manage vaults is to keep track of the upcoming meta and ensure Guardians are well-equipped with the weapons and armor that will be useful in the new content.
Another thing to keep in mind is in The Final Shape update, Bungie will remove power limits from all legacy gear. This means players can upgrade any old weapons to current power standards, making them usable in the new expansion’s content and the rest of the game.
5Claim Brave Weapons
Powerful Into The Light Weapons Are Perfect For The Battle Ahead
Destiny 2introduced a free content update, Into The Light, just before the release of The Final Shape. Players can get brave weapons from the ritual activity of onslaught for a limited time. These are some of the game’s most recognizable andpowerful weaponsand a must-have for any player’s arsenal.
The perk pools of the weapons are also updated, and players get a limited-time cosmetic that cannot be acquired again in the game. The new shiny aspect looks fantastic on all the brave weapons, and they can get them by completing weapon bounties from Arcite 99-40 at the Hall of Champions or as a random reward for completing waves of the Onslaught activity.
4Exotic Armor Quests
Create Powerful Builds With Unique Exotic Armor
For new and returning players who still need to get all the exotic armor pieces for their characters, Ikora Rey now offers 9different exotic quests, one for each light subclass. It is an excellent opportunity for Titan mains to get the most powerful exotics, like Dunemarchers, Synthoceps, and Heart of Inmost Light, from these quests.
Warlocks can get the Crown of Tempest, Starfire Protocol, and Contraverse Hold, which are excellent exotics for various subclass builds. Hunters can also find some good exotics, such as the Young Ahamkara’s Spine, the Sixth Coyote, and the Graviton Forfeit. All of these exotics will come with static rolls for stats, leaving room for improvement, but as great starting exotics.
3Craft Seasonal Weapons
Exclusive Seasonal Weapons Are Some Of The Best
Weapon crafting is one of the most important additions toDestiny 2. With each new season, Bungie adds new craftable weapons in the game that can be crafted by collecting deep-sight versions of the weapons. With the end of the season of the wish, all the weapons available on the helm will not be acquirable or available to purchase.
Now is the best time tocraft all the remaining weapons. Players can also complete Riven’s Wishes quests from Mara Sov to get Red Border Last Wish weapons. It is a great opportunity for Guardians who don’t want to dive into the Raid and enjoy the craftable powers that can easily change the way they play for the better.
2Complete Seasonal Challenges
Earn Bright Dust & XP For Eververse Rewards
Seasonal challenges are the best wayto level up the season pass and get seasonal upgrades. These upgrades can be used to focus on seasonal weapons and to get additional rewards at the activity completion. Before the launch of The Final Shape, players must make sure that they have completed all the seasonal challenges, otherwise they are lost forever.
Players can also earn up to 6,000 bright dust on completion of normal seasonal challenges and another 4,000 on completion of all seasonal challenges. Some of these seasonal challenges require players to play timed activities like crucible modes, so keep an eye on weekly activities and prepare to fulfill the checklist.
1Bounty Farming
Completing Bounties Helps Level Players Up Fast With The Release Of New Seasons
Bounty farming is a common practice many players do before the launch of a new season or expansion. It is not an extremely necessary thing to do, but it provides many benefits when new content is released.
Players keep acquiring and completing the weekly and daily bounties from different vendors and turn them in after the launch of the new expansion to instantly boost their season pass and unlock many artifact mods. Unlocking the artifact mods can play an important role during the raid activity, which will launch just days after the launch of The Final Shape.
