Destiny 2's Warmind Expansion Adding New Game Mode and Features

Destiny 2's next expansion, Warmind, launches May 8th and Bungie took to Twitch to explain all the new additions coming to the expansion. Including new gears, areas, and activities.

Warmind takes place on the frozen ice caps of Mars and focuses on an infamous warmind Rasputin and Ana Bray. The new game activity is called Escalation Protocol, which is a horde mode in a public space. Players can join at any time and must fend off waves of Hive that come from the ice caps, with bosses entering the fight occasionally. 

The PvP arena the Crucible is gaining ranks, which can be earned in Quick-Play and Competitive playlists, giving those who reach high ranks exclusive rewards. Bungie revealed in a press release that additional features such as strikes, new Crucible maps, and raid area called Spire of Stars that will have more raid bosses than other areas.

New exotic buffs will change certain weapons. The Riskrunner will now activate its intrinsic perk even when the weapon is stowed when arc damage is taken, though the increased arc resistance will only be available when the weapon is out. Hard Light is taking a page out of Borealis’ book, and players can now switch the weapon’s elements without going into the menu. The ricochet rounds will also deal double damage, a huge buff for the weapon’s intrinsic perk.

Destiny 2 is now available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
