Into the Light event is amazing for free content. The Final Shape looks absolutely insane. Can't wait to get into it.

Onslaught mode is a ton of fun. Nice little activity to have something to do in the game when you just want to play and not care too much about trying to grind for anything specific, and just get some nice chaotic gameplay in.

I jumped back in last night after months. I have no idea where to start.

Is the Riven stuff new? or was that last season stuff?

I have a dungeon that I haven't done, the underwater one. There looks to be a few underwater missions that I didn't complete, deep dives?

And how do I acquire the re-released weapons (ie, the Recluse)?

Yea, some of the riven stuff is new. The seasonal activity this season (Coil), that you can access from the helm is a great activity. Highly recommend.

Doing Onslaught. In the new public area, you get quest from the sweeper bot that will get you a guaranteed drop of the weapon when you finish it. Opening chests int he event gives you the weapons as well. You will also get currency that you can use to open the chest next to Shaxx that has the weapons.

The quests from the sweeper bot, allow you to attune a certain weapon and basically increases your chance of it dropping to 50%, the remaining 50% is spread amongst all the other available weapons that you've gotten.

Yea, those are I think 2 seasons ago maybe? The dungeon is a decent one. The story side was fine but nothing spectacular.

Done. Have two of the new weapons from opening a box and completing a run of that event. ( I can't remember the name). ETA: Onslaught I think.

Dungeons are the best content Destiny has to offer imo. I love raids, but to gather a 6 player fireteam is much more of a hassle.

I havent done a single one. Can any of the dungeons be soloed?


This is where the game really kills me. No one wants to run them with people that dont know what the frick they are doing. I wish they just had matchmaking for everything. Same with some of the seasonal content. Any of the higher level stuff with no matchmaking i just dont do.

I still have never done last wish raid either and dont feel like watching hour long videos on how to play it.

Technically, they can all be solo'd


Use the fireteam finder if you want to. Very easy to join people doing a dungeon.

Oh i thought there were ones you need people to stand in diff zones, meaning you had to have multiple people. Maybe im thinking of a raid.

And i use the teamfinder or whatever. have used it from the beginning on the bungie forums. Still not easy to find open games or not have someone just boot you for sucking.

That is why I said technically . Some take a little trickery to get around some team aspects, but every dungeon has been solo'd.

No, use the in-game function. Go to the roster section in the menus and you'll see team finder. Also a option in the top right of the screen when selecting activities from the diretory. You can search there for open fireteams for any activity, or you can create your own and have people join you.

I had no luck finding a team for onslaught last night. Just ran normal with matchmaking, got to level 40 something on one run.
