I have been talking about what Bungie has done this summer to maintain players engaged in the Destiny universe until the launch of the new DLC, Forsaken. One of the surprise was the secret mission on the planet Nessus which presented quite a challenge to most players. Even more exciting, the quest did not end with the first completion as it unlocked a Heroic version of the mission that was much more difficult. It also added an elemental “singe” modifier for the mission that rotated every week. In addition, during the heroic mission, you could unlock a side quest to open 5 hidden chests and an Oracle challenge at the end.
The community figure this out and it opened another quest to get an Exotic ship. In order to complete this quest, you need to complete the Heroic mission for each of the elemental singes available while also gathering the chests to complete the Catalyst for the exotic sniper rifle. It was amazing to see this as it led to a scramble to get these items completed because the ship looks great and the weapon is so strong for boss battles.
As we get ready for Forsaken, these slight changes and additions by Bungie has me excited once again for the potential of what the Destiny experience can be. I am so excited for the upcoming Forsaken DLC despite all the other games also being released shortly after its release.
Thanks!
