A Lightning Round is a random event that can spawn at the very end of a Dares of Eternity run. While active, Guardians must capture zones around the boss arena while waves of enemies spawn at your location. A special miniboss called Xur's Chosen will also spawn during the round. You must defeat Xur's Chosen during three different Lightning Rounds to finish this Triu


The Dares of Eternity resembles fan favorite 6-player activities like The Menagerie from the Season of Opulence or the Sundial from Season of the Dawn. Xur is the go-to NPC, where players can get bounties that can only be completed in the activity. In addition, exclusive emotes, items, universal ornaments, and shaders can be earned through completing various triumphs in the 30th Anniversary triumph tab. Xur's treasure Hoard also houses the Starhorse NPC, which sells players Dare bounties with a high XP payout upon completion, but they can only be bought using 'Strange Coins.' Strange Coins are earned upon completion of the Dares of Eternity activity and earned by killing special mini-bosses within the activity. Players will also earn treasure keys using the same methods for earning Strange Coins; these keys can be used to open the treasure chests at Xur's treasure hoard, which will earn players classic Halo -themed weapons for Destiny

A short explanation for Destiny 2’s leveling process, in case you don’t know: currently, you can reach level 1330 by participating in activities and collecting gear. Getting to 1320 is fairly straightforward, but after that your options are fewer and the challenges are more difficult. From 1100 to 1320, practically everything you do will reward you with a new weapon or piece of armor that will increase your power level. At the start of any season, you can get to this ‘soft cap’ fairly quickly. Some do it casually over a few weeks, while power players are able to min-max their way there in a matter of hours.

Before starting the activity, be sure to grab all the bounties that Xur offers, as most can be completed in one run, and they are not challenging to do. Then, to start the new activity, head to the 'Eternity' location on the map director and select ' Dares of Eternity ' from there. The normal activities mode has matchmaking, while the 1320 power level legend mode requires a pre-made fireteam and offers special armor that can take two charged light mods. After spawning into the activity, take the portal in front of spawn to head to the activity's first area. First, spin the 'Wheel of Adversity,' which will tell the fireteam what enemy type they are fighting before each encounter. Players will want to bring weapons that clear out large groups of enemies as well as do decent boss/mini-boss damage, making the return of Gjallarhorn in Destiny 2 even more essent

When players face the Vex in Dares of Enternity , players will kill a named Vex enemy, pick up a cranium, and use it to destroy mini-bosses shields. On the other hand, players facing the Scorn will kill a named enemy, step into debuff, and shoot at crystals until they're destroyed to move on. The only enemy type that has a different encounter in this first round is the Fallen, who will spawn in mines that have to be defused by standing in their area. If players disable all the mines, they'll be rewarded with an additional chest that can award extra Strange Coins and Treasure K


The only way to earn Strange Favor to rank up with Xur is to complete the Dares of Eternity activity. Players looking to earn the catalyst for the new Forerunner exotic sidearm will have to rank up to level 16 with Xur, meaning a fair amount of grinding will be required. Luckily, players will also be earning rolls of the new Halo -themed weapons in Destiny 2 , like the BXR-55 Battler Rif

This is going to be a divisive opinion amongst the Destiny community. Grandmaster Nightfalls are the very end of the endgame. They are the pinnacle PVE challenge for the most dedicated Destiny 2 strategy players. They’re unbelievably challenging and completely inaccessible until you’ve reached a power level that far exceeds the requirements for any other activity, including raids. Grandmaster Nightfalls are designed to be a top-tier challenge for hardcore players, and that’s exactly what they are. My concern isn’t with the challenge or the dedication required to access them, but rather the empty, soulless grind to get there. If you want to be leveled appropriately for a Grandmaster, you have to grind Destiny full time, day-in and day-out, for months. I just don’t think you should have to dedicate your life to Destiny - or any game - to complete the hardest content.
