For Destiny 2 fans, this has been a pretty exciting week. Bungie's highly anticipated Destiny 2 Showcase revealed the future of the franchise with the first details for the next expansion known as Lightfall. Alongside the reveals of the new Stand subclass and quality of life changes, Bungie also took time to showcase the current Season of Plunder, which adds a sci-fi pirate theme to the game as players work alongside the likes of Mithrax, Spider, and the Drifter, to cause chaos to Eramis' space fleet.
After countless teases from Bungie and speculation by the community, the showcase finally revealed that the classic King's Fall raid was the next legacy content to arrive. Naturally, this event kicked off a brand-new Worlds First challenge where fireteams and guilds alike raced to see who could complete King's Fall the fastest. As it turned out, Clan Elysium once again took the crown which gives the players their third victory overall.
While players who ran the raid found that returning to Oryx's domain was largely the same outside a few small tweaks here and there. However, Bungie did add a few secrets, such as turning a classic Destiny Easter egg into an actual way to earn the Touch of Malice catalyst. One resourceful Destiny 2 player also found a way to earn a guaranteed Red Border weapon as well, incredibly important for those attempting to craft a weapon or earn resources to do so.
While many fans lament at the randomized nature of finding Deepsight Resonance Weapons, this method can guarantee a drop, likely once per week, if they can solve a puzzle inside King's Fall. The details come from Skarrow9 on the Destiny 2 subReddit, who found that finding 3 of 9 hidden runes unlock a special chest. Similar to the secret Vow of the Disciple chest, players should head to the Court of Oryx to discover which three need to be activated by shooting. Skarrow has laid out all nine in the original Reddit thread, giving players a sense of where to go to find the specific ones needed. Once the three have been activated, players will see a message "The runes accept your offering" to unlock an extra chest at the end of the raid.
The guarantee red border weapon should please fans, especially considering how difficult the crafting system has been since it arrived inside The Witch Queen. The process for unlocking weapon frames has, at times, been a tougher than intended process, prompting Bungie to adjust the drop rates for weapons inside of the Wellspring activity. While things have improved, getting and finishing 5 specific deepsight weapons to unlock the crafting specs continues to be a bit more grindy than some players want.
Destiny 2 is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
