Destiny 2 is finally nerfing its most broken ult, but as a Warlock main I fear my teammates will still want to crutch on it

(Image credit: Bungie) Have you ever had your teammates bully you into running a particular loadout for their benefit? Everyone who plays Warlock in Destiny 2 knows the feeling.

Bungie reveals all the possible perks on Destiny 2’s spicy new Prismatic class items

Bungie continues recent streak of Ws by making most Destiny 2 expansions free to everyone
The Dread are a new faction of enemies coming in The Final Shape. Probably best to gear up before facing these spindly jokers. (Image credit: Bungie) It’s a long-running adage among Destiny fans that Bungie does its best work when its back is against the wall. That will be of little comfort to those laid…

by
(Image credit: Blizzard) When Hearthstone Battlegrounds’ Duos mode was announced in November last year, Blizzard said to expect the launch in early 2024.

Destiny 2 is bringing back 12 fan favorite guns, including monsters like The Recluse and Luna’s Howl, and a meme that could now be OP
One of the defining attributes of a Destiny 2 lifer is the ability to get excited about shooting old guns with new perks. Last week, we found out that the free Into The Light update, aimed at keeping players occupied until the June 4 release of The Final Shape expansion, will include a new horde…

Teaser for the next Alien movie features a youthful cast and more facehuggers than you can shake an M41A Pulse Rifle at
Look, I won’t go so far to say I’m a fan of the last couple of Alien movies—who could forgive the undodgeable space wheel or Michael Fassbender’s “I’ll do the fingering” line—but I am enough of an apologist to be excited about the next one. All of which is to say, hey, here’s the first…

Not a bad beard for a 10-year-old, you have to admit. (Image credit: Blizzard) Hearthstone turned 10 this week, which on a personal note means I’ve been playing, watching and writing about the same game for a decade.

Folks, I think I’ve worked out how Bungie plans to make up its 45% revenue shortfall
Space surf’s up! Skimmers are brand new type of transport, added to Destiny 2 today. (Image credit: Bungie) Last year’s shock layoff of around 100 staff at Bungie was accompanied by a report that the studio expected to miss its internal revenue projections by as much as 45%. You don’t need access to the books…
