Alright, let’s talk about diving into that new Destiny 2 dungeon for the weapons. Heard the buzz, you know, people saying this or that about the loot. Decided I had to jump in myself and see what was up.
Getting Started and First Runs
So, first things first, actually getting into the dungeon. Loaded it up, went in blind the first time, which is always a bit chaotic, right? You stumble around, figure out the mechanics the hard way. Lots of dying. We wiped a good few times on that first boss, just trying to get the rhythm down. It’s always like that, learning the dance.
After a few messy attempts, we started getting smoother. The main thing on my mind, honestly? Getting those weapons to drop. You see that engram pop after an encounter, and you’re just hoping it’s one of the new toys.
The Loot Grind
My first few runs were… well, they were runs. Got some armor pieces, which is fine, needed the transmog anyway. But I was there for the guns. Finally, after clearing the second encounter on maybe the third or fourth try, I got one. Think it was the bow, Vengeful Whisper.
Picked it up, looked at the perks. Okay, not the god roll everyone talks about, but it felt pretty good just shooting it around. Decent handling. Used it for the rest of the dungeon just to get a feel for it.
Then came the real chase. Everyone was talking about that special sidearm, the one that shoots rockets, Indebted Kindness. That thing sounded wild, had to have it. That meant more runs. Lots more runs.
- Farming the first boss checkpoint for a bit.
- Doing full runs hoping for better luck at the end.
- Dealing with teammates leaving and finding new people.
It’s a grind, you know? Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you get the same sniper rifle three times in a row with perks you don’t want. Standard Destiny, really.
Trying Out the Goods
Finally got the rocket sidearm to drop. And yeah, it’s weird. In a good way, mostly. Took it out into some strikes and patrols. It hits hard, feels unique. Took some getting used to the projectile speed and the slight delay, but once you get the hang of it, it can clear out groups surprisingly well. Found a roll with Voltshot later, and that really made it fun.
The bow, Vengeful Whisper? It’s solid. Good strand bow. If you get a good roll like Hatchling or Successful Warm-up, it really puts in work. It’s not replacing my absolute favorites, maybe, but it’s definitely usable and feels satisfying.
Haven’t gotten the perfect roll on everything yet, of course. The grind continues. But overall, the weapons feel pretty distinct this time around. They didn’t just phone it in. The sidearm especially, it’s something different, and I appreciate that. Makes the effort feel a bit more worthwhile when you finally get it.
So yeah, jumped in, ran it a bunch, died a lot, finally got some of the new weapons, tried ’em out. Some are cool, some need the right roll. Still chasing a few things. That’s the loop, right?
