Introduction to the Destiny
First time when you launch Destiny, you might feel a little bit overwhelmed already because the game will give you certain pop-up windows you won't understand much, and they are not important for a new player. Destiny might be uncomfortable for you the first time you launch it, but after you get through some pop-ups, you will get to Character Selection, where you can choose your first class to play.

First up is Titan, then you have Hunter, and the last one is Warlock.

It really doesn't matter which character you choose because you have up to three slots for characters, so you can create each one and play them as you like. A little reminder is that if you complete all quests and stories on one character, you will have to do it on each of them separately because gear, armor, story progress, and abilities are not shared with your other characters. It's really up to you how you start, but if you are not satisfied with your selection, you can always create another class and try it with them.

As soon as you create your character, the game will show you a cutscene covering the story.
You will be thrown into the Tutorial mission, where you will encounter key mechanics in the game and learn your abilities and classes (some supers have a Heavy attack on MB2, just in case).

The tutorial itself has changed from what I played when I first launched Destiny, but there is an option where you can "Skip The New Light Campaign." As a new player, I would not recommend you skip the campaign but play it. I don't think myself that this tutorial is necessary because a lot of things have changed since the previous time I played the tutorial, but as long as you finish it from start to finish, I think you might be prepared for the rest of the game.

Classes and Subclasses
As I said, you have three classes you can choose from. I would recommend you try all of them so you know which suits you better, rather than just starting one and then realizing it's boring for you. Each class has a unique playstyle and combat style (excluding weapons):

  • Hunter – Perfect for flanking and quick In & Out combat
  • Warlock – Perfect for support players, excels in team support and burst damage
  • Titan – Perfect for tank players, unique in long combats, survivability, and team defending

Each class has up to six subclasses to master. You can choose from plenty and adapt them to your own playstyle:

  • Solar – Unlocked at the start from Ikora
  • Arc – Unlocked at the start from Ikora
  • Void – Unlocked at the start from Ikora
  • Stasis – Unlock via Beyond Light Campaign
  • Strand – Unlock via Lightfall Campaign
  • Prismatic – Unlock via Final Shape Campaign

Be advised: if you don't own Lightfall and The Final Shape DLCs, you CAN'T obtain Strand or Prismatic.

Each subclass has three things you have to master first before you can start making your own builds and developing your unique playstyle.
First are Abilities – here you can choose the style of jumping, melee, grenade, and class ability.
Next are Aspects – each aspect has a unique passive or active ability you can choose and use in combat, but you can choose only two of them, so pairing them into a good combo is important.
Up next are Fragments – this is where your build is created properly. You can choose up to five fragments to combine together. At first, it will be really confusing and maybe a little annoying to find a combination that suits you well, but trust me – after you master each subclass and manage to get good combos (or just watch the meta and copy it into your build – it’s up to you), you’ll love it!
Last but not least, we have Supers – or "Ultimate ability" if you’re fancy. Each subclass has three different supers you can choose from. Let’s take a look at them!

Where should i go first ?

It’s easy to get lost in Destiny — there are so many destinations you can visit, and so many activities you can complete. It can feel overwhelming at first, but after you complete the New Light campaign, I would advise you to look at your quest log or just explore the worlds at first. You can start with the Cosmodrome and then go to EDZ, etc.
You should also check your character and learn something about it too. First, you can check your weapons on the left side of your screen, then on the right side you have armor.
In the top right corner of the screen, you will see your Power Level.

And last in your character screen, there is the Artifact — this is the source of your Power. There are columns with perks, and you can choose what you want, but you have just twelve tokens. You can “master” a whole Artifact, but only twelve perks of it. It might sound like plenty, but trust me, it isn’t. So when upgrading your Artifact, choose wisely. You can always reset the Artifact and combine the perks differently.


If you have purchased some of the DLCs, I recommend you start them in this order so the story will make more sense:
(Although it might not make full sense for you, because much of the story and events happened in seasons that are now unavailable — each expansion had four seasons to cover its story. If you want to know more, make sure to check some lore videos or the YouTube channel “My Name is Byf.”)

  • Shadowkeep
  • Beyond Light
  • Witch Queen
  • Lightfall
  • Final Shape

(Just a little note. Shadowkeep and Beyond Light Campaigns might be free to play, but i'm not sure of it).

I am not including The Edge of Fate in this list because the new expansion is part of the New Saga and has nothing to do with the original Light and Darkness Saga. The Edge of Fate is set in the new “Fate” Saga, which will expand over the coming years, starting in December with the release of the Renegades expansion.

After you are done exploring, you should try the activities listed at the top of the screen: Vanguard, Gambit, Crucible, and Legends. Each of these activities has a unique playstyle.

Vanguard – A classic PvE activity where you can try out your weapons, builds, and explore strikes from each destination. This is a more “relaxing” activity. Within Vanguard, there are also Nightfall strikes.

Nightfall – Nightfall is similar to Vanguard, but adds more challenge. Think of it as a “skill check” to see if you’re ready for harder content. Nightfalls are designed to be tougher than Vanguard strikes but not enough to ruin your experience. You will encounter Champions (Barrier, Unstoppable, Overload). Each Champion type must be stunned, or they can disrupt your progress and ruin your run. To know how to stun them, check your Artifact — it will tell you which weapons can stun each type. Some weapon perks or abilities can also stun Champions. For example, Stasis shatter now stuns Overload Champions. Make sure to optimize your loadout for weapons or abilities.

Gambit – A mix of PvE and PvP. You and your team will fight enemies, and when you defeat them, they drop motes (a white triangle item). The rules are simple: collect motes, bank them in the depositor, and outscore the enemy team. When your team deposits one hundred motes, you’ll summon the Primeval and must defeat it. The first team to kill their Primeval wins.
There’s a twist: banking motes or damaging the Primeval opens an invasion portal for both teams. You can invade the enemy team; if you kill an enemy player during their mote phase, they drop all their motes and lose progress. During the Primeval phase, each kill on enemy players will heal their Primeval, giving your team an advantage. If you invade, be patient rather than reckless.

Crucible – PvP-only mode with several playlists. The most popular is Iron Banner (fun but can be frustrating with random teammates). In Crucible, your aim matters most. You can choose between casual PvP, ranked PvP, or high-end PvP called Trials of Osiris, where communication and skill win games.

Legends – A category for different high-end activities: raids, dungeons, and exotic missions.

Dungeons – High-end PvE content requiring experience. Dungeons have unique mechanics, puzzles, and bosses. Watch guides before attempting so you don’t get stuck early.

Raids – The top-tier Destiny activity. Includes both legacy raids from Destiny 1 (Vault of Glass, King’s Fall, Crota’s End) and new ones (Salvation’s Edge, Root of Nightmares). Raids require a team of six — some can be soloed, but only by highly skilled players.

Exotic Missions – Soloable missions but require attention to objectives. Zero Hour is a perfect example — you have limited time to complete it, and on Expert difficulty, the timer is shorter and enemies are much stronger. There are three exotic missions in weekly rotation (resetting every Tuesday), except The Whisper and Zero Hour, which are always available.

Finally, let’s head to the Tower to meet the Vanguard and other important NPCs:
Titan Vanguard Zavala – Commander of the Vanguard
Lord Shaxx – Crucible overseer
Drifter – Hot Daddy and creator of Gambit
Ikora Ray – Warlock Vanguard; unlocks subclass abilities, aspects, and fragments
Ada-1 – Offers bounties, shaders, cosmetics, and exotic armor focusing (Season of Reclamation)
Hawthorne – Clan steward; gives clan bounties and rewards for playing with clanmates
Banshee-44 – Gunsmith; sells weapons and mods
Master Rahool – Cryptarch; decrypts exotic engrams
Saint-14 – Trials of Osiris vendor
What if i go in Solo ?
This is a good question — I know not everyone has friends who play Destiny, or maybe they haven’t even thought about it. But for you, my dear SoloQ players, I have something good to introduce to you.

If you’re going into Destiny 2 alone without any friends and you think it will be boring and you’ll end up quitting soon (I mean the game, alright?), you can do these things to get a better experience:

After you’re done with the tutorial and introductions, try looking for some clans or influencers and join their Discord servers. Meet some new folks and have fun with them.

Find a clan. I know not everyone wants to socialize, but it’s worth it! If you find the right clan with the right people, things can be much better than you think.

The third and last one is for those who really don’t want to do any of the above. If you desperately need someone to join you to finish an activity you’re not capable of completing on your own, here’s the final solution: in-game LFG. I’m not kidding… HEY, WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING???

You can go to the Social page in-game and find or create a fireteam for the activity you want to finish — whether it’s a dungeon, raid, Gambit, Crucible, seasonal content, whatever you want. Just name it and find players. Like I said, it’s the final solution if you desperately need something done but can’t do it solo. Down below, you can see how to get in.
Free to Play vs Paid
There is much you can or can’t do in Destiny, depending on your investment in the game itself. You can do a lot when playing Destiny 2, but some things might be locked behind a paywall. So, what can you actually do as a Free-to-Play player, and what can you do with paid content?

Free-to-Play

  • Vanguard Section – You can play Vanguard Ops and the Nightfall playlist.
  • Gambit – You can play the Drifter’s game with motes.
  • Crucible – Casual PvP or Competitive (Iron Banner, Heavy Metal, Hardware).
  • Legends – You can play up to three raids, one dungeon, and three exotic missions (one exotic mission in Legends is on a weekly rotation, so keep an eye on that).
  • Portal – All activities in Portal are free to play (yes, even Caldera if you don’t own the expansion).
  • In Portal you can find:
  • Solo Ops – Short missions with simple objectives.
  • Fireteam Ops – Usually Strikes, Battlegrounds, or old seasonal arenas.
  • Pinnacle Ops – You can choose from exotic missions from previous seasons (not sure if you can still get the focused exotic weapons from them — I already have them all).
  • Eternity – You can play Dares of Eternity for free.
  • Patrols and public events on each destination.

Shadowkeep and Beyond Light story – As far as I know, Bungie has made changes to these two stories, and you should be able to play Beyond Light and Shadowkeep destination stories for free.

Paid Content (DLCs)

  • Access to all DLC exotics (Khvostov, Graviton Spike, etc.).
  • Ability to play all raids in the game and all dungeons (if you own all the DLCs).
  • Story campaigns from Lightfall, The Final Shape, The Witch Queen, and The Edge of Fate.
  • New Subclasses (Stasis [If it's not free], Strand and Prismatic)
  • Trials of Osiris.
  • Sieve on Kepler.
  • Overthrow event on The Pale Heart.

Destiny has changed since The Edge of Fate release. I feel like new players can get their hands on a lot of stuff they couldn’t pre-EOF. But still, if you want to get deeper into the game, play more of the story, and get some juicy new/old exotics, you should consider buying the DLCs on sale.
If you want to get more invested in Destiny, I really recommend buying the DLCs — but do yourself a favor and get them on sale. They’re worth it anyway if you’re willing to spend your time in Destiny, but buying them discounted might make the experience even more enjoyable.
Portal + New Playlists
With the launch of The Edge of Fate, a new hub menu in Destiny was introduced, called Portal. This is a new hub from which you can quickly launch the activity you’re looking for — starting from Solo Ops, through Fireteam Ops and Pinnacle, and ending with a quick launch of The Edge of Fate campaign.

Also, Portal is the only hub from which you can launch The Edge of Fate campaign, so don’t look in the World tab to see if it’s there. Just click on Portal, navigate to the Kepler planet, click on it, and you can continue your journey.


Solo Ops

This is a brand-new playlist where, as the title says, you play solo. Each activity in this playlist is a solo mission. I’ve already tried all of them, and each mission can take around 5–7 minutes.
Each mission’s loot should rotate daily at reset (10:00 AM PDT / 19:00 CEST). So it’s worth checking after every reset to acquire new gear.


Fireteam Ops

This playlist offers activities you may have already played before (if you’re a returning player, of course). Strikes like Devil’s Lair, Liminality, Battlegrounds from Episode Echoes, and much more!
In this playlist, all activities are focused on 3-player gameplay — so Strikes, Battlegrounds, Empire Hunts, or Savathûn’s Spire from Season of the Witch. Or the return of a fan-favorite activity, Coil from Season of the Wish (my personal favorite).
All activities are fixed and have no rotation, only thing that is on rotation is "focused gear" you can get the day from the selected Activities. These activities can also have modifiers for better loot and can be played with matchmaking, so you don’t necessarily need friends to join you.


Pinnacle Ops

This playlist offers mostly exotic missions from past seasons or expansions. You can choose exotic missions you want, each offering great loot. “Pinnacle” also means that every — or at least the final — reward you get from the mission will be a higher-power piece of gear. So if you want to increase your power level, this is a great playlist to focus on.

Crucible Ops

This playlist is purely PvP-focused. Here, you can play featured PvP playlists and get loot that’s also displayed on the activity’s card. That’s pretty much all there is to it — I guess I don’t have to explain what PvP is, right?

Missing Content and Destiny Vault (DCV)
When you first enter Destiny, you will be guided by the New Light quest, which will walk you through the game and give you an introduction to its systems. You might encounter specific NPCs who are either your enemies or allies, but once you finish New Light and enter the Tower, you might feel a bit confused.

Most of the content was vaulted shortly after the Beyond Light DLC was launched:

  • Mars
  • Io
  • Titan
  • 7 Strikes
  • 4 Campaigns (Red War, Curse of Osiris, Warmind, Forsaken)
  • 5 Raids
  • 2 Gambit maps
  • 6 Seasonal Activities
  • Tribute Hall
  • 2 Exotic Missions
  • 19 Exotic Quests
  • 8 Vendors
  • 11 PvP maps
  • H.E.L.M.
  • Last City

📜 Destiny 2 – Timeline of Content Vaulting
(Vaulting = removal or relocation of content from the live game)

2020 – Beyond Light
  • Removed destinations: Mars, Io, Titan, Mercury
  • Vaulted campaigns: Red War, Curse of Osiris, Warmind
  • Vaulted strikes located on these destinations
  • Removed: Tribute Hall, several PvP maps, exotic missions tied to vaulted destinations

2022 – The Witch Queen
  • Continued vaulting of older seasonal activities (Seasons 8–14)
  • Part of the old loot pool moved into the Destiny Content Vault

2023 – Lightfall
  • Vaulted Season of the Haunted, Season of Plunder, Season of the Seraph (Seasons 17–19)
  • Removed seasonal locations and activities (e.g., Leviathan patrol zone from Haunted)

2024 – The Final Shape (pre-launch changes)
  • Vaulted activities from Season of Defiance, Season of the Deep, Season of the Witch
  • Removed final versions of H.E.L.M. and older seasonal hubs

2025 – Edge of Fate
  • Major structural change – most content moved into the Portal menu
  • Some older exotic missions returned in rotation (Zero Hour, The Whisper)
  • Confirmed: Most older campaigns remain vaulted until Bungie decides to reintroduce them


It was a really hard hit for the Destiny community, and it still affects players today — especially new ones. The previous campaigns and all that content could show players the full story and make everything clear, but unfortunately, Bungie made the decision to remove it, and it still remains inaccessible. No one knows whether the content will ever return or if it’s gone for good.

If you are willing to play Destiny, I strongly recommend you look up some lore or learn about the story so you know what is going on. With the DLCs that remain (and are mentioned in this guide), you can at least get part of the story and some knowledge of the bigger picture.
Also, after every expansion, all previous seasons (for example, Season of the Wish, Season of the Deep, Episode Echoes, Heresy, Revenant) — along with all the activities from those seasons — are also vaulted and can’t be accessed. However, there might be a chance they will appear in the Portal in the future.
Nightfalls and Onslaught explanation
Nightfall – This is a daily-focused activity. It's kind of the same as Vanguard, but enemies have greater health, and you really have to be careful. In addition to this, in Nightfall you can encounter "Champions" — special enemies with big health bars, marked with a sign. Before diving into the Nightfall, check which Champions are in the current rotation. There are three types of Champions: Barrier, Overload, and Unstoppable. Each of these Champions needs to be stunned, or they can ruin your run pretty badly. To check which weapons can stun them, be sure to check your Artifact and select the right weapons.

Be aware that weapons with Stasis damage and the Chill Clip perk can stun Overload Champions. You can either equip a weapon that directly stuns an Unstoppable Champion, or you can run Aspects like Hellion (Ignition will stop Unstoppable Champions). If you're going into Nightfall, be very aware of these Champions, because one bad step and you can be dead. On higher difficulties, it really is a matter of life and death.

Onslaught

[BE ADVISED: ONSLAUGHT HAS LEFT THE FIRETEAM OPS SECTION AND CAN NOW BE FOUND IN PORTAL UNDER PINNACLE OPS]

This game mode was first announced with the Into the Light event. This mode is like a Horde mode — you play through 30 waves and must defend the ADU. You can buy defenses like turrets, tripwires, or decoys. In certain waves you can encounter strong enemies like a big Demolitionist with high health, or even a Tormentor (trust me, you don’t want to meet him up close).

The only thing that matters here is defending the ADU and reaching the 30th wave. On every 10th wave, you will have a boss room where you must defeat a boss. For each defeated boss, a chest will spawn and reward you with Glimmer (currency), Portal Gear, Strange Coins (currency), and some resources (Enhancement Cores or Enhancement Prisms).

Unlike the previous version of the Onslaught, pre-EOF. Now your enemies has flexibile power, you can set the right power when launching Onslaught to balance it to your own power and not get wiped in the 1st wave.
How does Artifact looks and works ? + Surges
So, as I mentioned earlier, there’s an Artifact for each Season. Each of these Artifacts has its own unique perks you can choose from. With each perk, your certain Subclass or Weapons can get a boost of Damage or additional elements. For Season of Reclamation, there are plenty to choose from. If we look back at Episode: Heresy, the main focus was on Arc, Void, and Strand. In this Season, Bungie pulled out an ace of all aces — here you can focus on Stasis, Strand, and the almighty Solar, which was a really brutal element back in Season of the Wish.

So, what is this Artifact hiding in itself? Here’s a quick look:

As you can see, each of these perks gives me a different boost to something else. Unfortunately, each Season the Artifact changes, and so do the weapons and perks in it. If you want to know what’s the best for the current Season, make sure you check the Artifact as the first thing you do when a new Season is out. If you see that the focused Subclass is, for example, Void, you probably won’t want to run Strand as your main.

Don’t get me wrong — it’s kinda whatever which Subclass you’re playing, but in High-End and Difficult activities it’s better to play what’s focused on the Artifact rather than something that isn’t. Sure, you can play anything you like, but without Surges you’re just doing “regular” damage at best. If there’s a Surge in the Activity and you’re playing the Subclass or Weapon with that element, then the Artifact bonus is kind of a second rail you want to pick if things get really messy.




As for the Edge of Fate, Bungie has made a new addition to the Artifact — now Seasonal Weapons and Seasonal Gear (Armor, if you’re fancy) will give you certain boosts, as you can see in the picture below. Remember, you can reset an Artifact at any time and re-select active perks.



Now let’s get to Surges. Surges are something like a little helper for you. Even if you’re playing solo or in a group, a Surge can be a damage booster and sometimes even a time saver.




This is how the Surge icon looks — it’s a green circle with the element that is focused. In this case, we’ve got Strand, giving an outgoing damage boost of 25%. This means every source of damage from Strand is higher and deals more damage to combatants.

For example, if you’re playing a Strand subclass with a Strand weapon, your Surge won’t stack (it would be nice if it did), but it does mean that it doesn’t matter if you’re damaging enemies with an Ability or Weapons — you’ll do 25% more damage with both sources. However, if you start shooting with a Kinetic weapon or a Heavy weapon without the Strand element, your damage will be the same as if you didn’t have Strand equipped. It’s not enough to simply have the element equipped — you actually have to use it.
Power Level, Earning New Gear, Weapons, Tiering, Activities
Now that Edge of Fate has released, all Guardians have their Power set at 10.

JUST BEFORE YOU START READING FURTHER. BE ADVISED THAT BUNGIE HAS MADE A DECISION THAT POWER WON'T RESET AT RENEGADES LAUCH, SO YOUR GRINDED POWER WILL REMAIN THE SAME AS YOU LEFT IT.

How am I gonna get higher Power ?In Edge of Fate, you can grow your Power by simply playing Portal activities. The best way to obtain greater Power is to go into Portal → Solo Ops → Choose a Map and have fun! After completing an activity, you are granted “Pinnacle Gear” (Weapon or Armor). You can simply move from one activity to another and earn new gear. If you own the latest Destiny 2 expansion (Edge of Fate), you can also progress through the campaign to earn more Power and reach the cap.

What actually is a Power Level ?Power Level determines your capability to do harder content or high-end activities like Raids or Dungeons. As mentioned, playing Pinnacle Ops, Fireteam Ops, and even Solo Ops will give you Pinnacle Gear, which increases your Power. The higher your Power, the harder content or difficulty you can do — simple as that.

How am I gonna get better weapons and armor ?As mentioned above, you can play the story campaign on Kepler (new destination through Portal) or simply do Pinnacle Ops or playlists in Portal. If you want a higher tier weapons/armor, you should also make sure to advance at your Guardian Rank.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to farm higher Power in Vanguard Ops, Nightfalls, or Gambit.
I’m not sure about Legends in the World tab (I haven’t tried doing a Dungeon or Raid yet), but for now, your main and only way to farm new gear is through the Portal.
The best way to maximize your Power is to repeat Caldera… yep, you heard that right. Either do Solo Ops (which can take 5–10 minutes) or gather a team and play Fireteam Ops.

How to get high-stat armor? – Your armor stats scale with the tiering system in the game:

  • Tier 1 – 48–53 total stats
  • Tier 2 – 54–58 total stats
  • Tier 3 – 59–64 total stats
  • Tier 4 – 65–72 total stats
  • Tier 5 – 73–75 total stats, with an additional mod socket for stat tuning

Important: As your Power goes higher, you will obtain higher-tier gear (weapons and armor).

  • Power 10–100 – Tier 1 Gear
  • Power 200–300 – Tier 2 Gear
  • Power 300–400 – Tier 3 Gear
  • Power 400–450 – Tier 4 Gear
  • Power 450+ – Tier 5 Gear

Your gear is ranked from Tier 1 to Tier 5. Tier 1 is the basic tier we all start with. As we progress, we can obtain better tiers for both weapons and armor. Again — the higher the difficulty, the better the tier of weapons or armor you will get.

Engrams you can get:

  • Blue Engrams – Welcome back, old friend!
  • Purple Engrams – Legendary gear
  • Little shiny engrams - These engrams are granted for completing Portal Activity and contains a Higher Power loot
  • Exotic Engrams – Contains exotic armor

Power Cap:

  • 10 – Base Power
  • 100 – Soft Cap
  • 200 – Pinnacle Cap
  • 450–550 – Hard Cap

If you’re not used to the new stat system yet, there’s a little help — the image below can help with your buildcrafting. Don’t forget: each new set now grants bonuses based on how many pieces of armor you have.



  • 2 pieces – Gain one bonus
  • 4 pieces (full set) – Gain another bonus to your armor and an overall bonus
Hope this image will come in handy for you all.

Also, you can go to the activity and customize it however you like — but remember: if you make it too easy, don’t expect great loot at the end. And if you make it too hard, you might end up dying right at the start and not be able to move forward. There’s a lot to cover, so if I find something new — or if you have any questions — write it in the comments and let me know. I’ll be updating this guide whenever I discover something new, but right now there’s just too much to cover.
Gear types
In the game you have two different types of Armor and Weapons

  • 1. Purple (Legendary)
  • 2. Gold (Exotic)

Tiering with Weapons and Armor once again are

  • Tier 1 - Basic
  • Tier 2 - Advanced
  • Tier 3 - Equivalent of Tier 3 Enhancement from The Final Shape
  • Tier 4 - Enhanced Magazine and Barrel
  • Tier 5 - Weapon gets Holofoil Shader, Enhanced Origin Trait, More Perk Columns
Tips from 3K hours player
As for me i started my journey in Destiny from release on Battle net back in 2017 and it was incredible experience and as for now i can tell that Destiny 2 world can be sometimes overwhealming and confusing but in the end if you will focus and try a new thing and explore more of the story this game can be a really good even if you're not a fan of MMORPG and Looter Shooter games. Fact is that Destiny world is still expanding and there is always something to do, something to explore, and you will have a lot of opportunities to love this game more and more. What i want to say is that, please don't start this game alone and find someone to play with.

Destiny is a great game but if you're going alone you will need 2x more time to do activities that are much easier in group of two people. I will try to edit this guide whenever there will be a new thing in Destiny or new elements or whatever, just to make you more comfy so you don't get lost in this game, i hope this guide did help you, if yes i will be really glad if you leave a like and share it to the Destiny community so every new player can get introduced into this game.

Let me give you a couple of advices that might help you, but might help as well your teammates

1. Don't overboost your activity too much, gaining some more powerful loot is nice but don't forget to be rather safe than sorry
2. Never play by yourself but play like a team
3. Never wear armor just cause it's pretty, check stats first
4. If you will run out of activities you can do, check your Seasonal Challenges and try to complete them to get more XPs to Rewards Pass
5. Don't get into Dungeons before you are experienced enough
6. Join a clan as soon as you can, you can meet people who might help you and get additional gear
7. Most of the things are hidden behind a paywall, try to be in a game for a while so you don't waste a money before you realise it's boring for you.
8. If you encounter a combatant with higher power try always fight from safe distance, never get close
9. Try to communicate with your teammates so you know how to adapt your playstyle
10. And the most important, don't get into this game alone, bring a friend or two and try it together, if you go in alone, you might quit the game in 2 hours cause you won't know what to do.

So i hope you got that clear and see you on the field!

Unfortunetely, it seems like bungie is doing everything the can to dig even a deeper grave for the game itself. Last few months has been rough for game and community as well. If you seek some advantage in game i would like to recommend you to wait till Renegades release, i think nothing big then Festival of the Lost. I mean, i don't want to give up on the game, but if you complete Weeekly Challenges and Seasonal Challenges there is nothing more to do in the game as in the sate of right now. And about the Campaigns, bungie has said that it is impossible to bring em back cause they are on the older engine and they would love to bring them back but there is a lawsuit on Red War campaign and are restricted to use the content.

The sad thing is, most the seasonal challenges are crappy things involving finding stuff in activities that tend to make you focus on fighting and not seeing anything to collect......i prefer proper challenges, maybe they have forgotten what those are maybe?

I would love them to bring back the Campaigns like Red War....now that was a good campaign....sadly, they replaced it with subpar alternatives.

I'd recommend the next in line for the expansions. The first is Witch Queen, as far as I remember, though the 30th Anniversary Pack will have quite a few decent weapons and upgrades.

What should be purchased first from a new comer? My brother wants to play and has played through most of the free to play content. I'm not even sure where to start.

I don't say they don't it's the best i could figure when i was trying to "compare" it to something people know well

Yeah, its a good guide. But all classes can excell in any area of play. :)

You're right, but not completly, Mothkeeper's Grips are just an exotic for Hunter, but i mean core gamplay. But you see it differently and i do, so as i said i will not argue with you, this guide is for new players, let them discover it themselves
