The 'Destiny' series, released in 2014, has been consistently loved for 10 years. Destiny 2 (DESTINY2, known as 'Destiny Guardians' in Korea), released in 2017, became the best-selling game of the year, and the expansion pack 'The Witch Queen', released in 2022, sold over 2 million copies in pre-orders alone.

The Destiny series is facing a crisis these days. Destiny has maintained a system of releasing an expansion pack once a year, filling the gaps with smaller updates called 'seasons'. However, 'The Final Shape', the expansion pack that was supposed to be released in February this year, was postponed to June. The season content filling the gap between expansion packs has already been consumed. In addition, the expansion pack 'Lightfall', which was released last February, did not receive good reviews.

In this situation, the number of Destiny 2's concurrent Steam players has hit its lowest point since the release of the PC version. Destiny 2, which reached 300,000 concurrent Steam players last March, is currently maintaining a figure in the 30,000s. Bungie has come up with some measures to try to maintain the number of players until the release of The Final Shape.

Free Bright Dust given out every week

Bright Dust in the Destiny series is an in-game currency used to purchase paid decorations. In the in-game store, paid decorations that can change the appearance of weapons and armor are often sold for this Bright Dust.

The goods that can be purchased with Bright Dust change every week, and you never know what will come out, so many players try to stockpile Bright Dust. However, it is not easy to get Bright Dust. This is because you get a small amount of Bright Dust by completing 'grinding' bounties given by various NPCs each week.

Bungie will be giving out 700 Bright Dust every week from March until right before the release of The Final Shape, without any separate quests. This is your chance for players who are trying to stockpile Bright Dust.

'Wish' mission

'Wish' quests that allow you to choose one of the rare items after completing the given mission every week are being released one after another. In fact, the content of this quest itself is disappointing. This is because the core of the quest is to play the content of the expansion pack 'Forsaken', which was released in 2018, once again.

However, the fact that it gives rewards that are difficult to obtain is a big advantage. Destiny 2 has made it incredibly difficult to obtain new Exotic Armor. Completing the 'Lost Sector', a mini-dungeon hidden in the open field, in a 'solo' high-difficulty version gives you a low chance of getting Exotic Armor. This process is not only difficult, but even if you repeat it, you often don't get the Exotic Armor you want.

In the Wish quest, you can choose one Exotic Armor every week. Even if it's not Exotic Armor, you can choose the equipment that drops from the raid 'Last Wish'. Raids require 6 players to play together, but this game does not support automatic matching, so it's very difficult to obtain equipment without friends to play with.

Meanwhile, The Final Shape is an expansion pack that concludes the story that Destiny has been running since 2014. It's not the end of Destiny, but it seems like most of the conflicts that began in 2014 will be resolved. It's a good idea to prepare for The Final Shape with Bright Dust and various Exotic Armor.
