March 11 is Going to Be a Big Day For Destiny 2 Fans

Summary

Heresy Act 2 brings new content like story missions and a new seasonal activity.
Destiny 2 will have great additions like Court of Blades, Artifact mods, new weapons, and more.
Guardian Games in 2025 will introduce a new Arc trace rifle and a boss-rush mode.

It is a time of big changes for Bungie and Destiny 2, with Heresy acting as the third and last Episode for the looter-shooter in preparation for the new model and content coming with Frontiers later this year. Heresy has been great for the game so far, and based on the latest livestream from Bungie, there will be a lot more juice coming to the Episode over time; from Guardian Games and its new boss-rush mode to a Dreadnaught activity called Court of Blades, and from a new PvP mode to Destiny 2‘s Rite of the Nine event. With so much on the line, it’s worth noting that March 11 will be a big day for the game.

Heresy Act 1 has been quite successful in terms of player engagement, and Bungie recently released the usual Moments of Triumph mini-event for Destiny 2 players to complete ahead of new content coming to the game. Now that Act 1 is coming to a close, players will have to get ready for great new content coming with Heresy Act 2, which is being released in just three days.

Why Destiny 2’s Endgame Has Now Suddenly Become Harder

Destiny 2’s Episode Heresy has done a lot of things right, but players have noticed an odd change that makes the endgame harder.

Every Feature and New Addition Confirmed For Destiny 2’s Heresy Act 2

The list of new features and content coming with Act 2 is pretty hefty considering that Act 3 is going to be even bigger. So far, this includes:

New story missions revolving around “whispers that players hear from beyond the veil,” likely from Eris Morn
The Court of Blades activity, featuring roguelike modifiers like in The Nether
Five new weapons – Anamnesis (Void bow), Mirror Imago (Strand SMG), Refusal of the Call (Strand glaive), Division (Arc sidearm), Afterlight (Void fusion rifle)
Two Exotic Catalysts for Destiny 2‘s Barrow-Dyad SMG
A new column of Artifact mods – Overload Trace Rifles, Beam Medic, Elemental Siphon, Harsh Refraction, Limit Break
The Guardian Games event, featuring new weapons and armor as well as a boss-rush mode

Destiny 2 Heresy Act 2 Comes With Huge Gameplay Changes

In terms of gameplay, Heresy Act 2 is already looking like a great update. Court of Blades is not only inspired by the Court of Oryx, but it features a similar and yet faster loop compared to The Nether. According to Bungie, it’s an activity more focused on slaying out a lot of enemies and rewarding players for it, which is a nice change of pace.

On top of that, Destiny 2‘s Heresy weapons are getting five new entries, with some being very good on paper. For example, the Refusal of the Call glaive is the first Straind glaive in the game, and it features amazing perk combos like Replenishing Aegis and Sword Logic. Then, players will be able to get the first two out of four Exotic Catalysts for Barrow-Dyad, with the option of picking Target Lock for a massive damage buff.

Last but not least, the five new Artifact mods are quite potent, and they can all benefit one already broke build in the game. Destiny 2‘s Arc Warlocks have an OP build in Heresy, using Geomag Stabilizers for more Super Energy gains and more Chaos Reach damage, which pairs nicely with Coldheart as a trace rifle due to its intrinsic way of producing Ionic Traces. This can be further boosted with Beam Medic to heal on kills as well as Harsh Refraction to deal more damage with Coldheart, all while getting even more Super damage with Limit Break.

What to Expect From Guardian Games 2025 in Destiny 2

To round Act 2 off, players will get to partake in Guardian Games, an event dedicated to the competition between all three classes. In addition to the event’s loot from past editions, this year there will be a new Arc trace rifle called Keraunios, capable of rolling good perks like the new Detonator Beam. Perhaps more importantly, Guardian Games 2025 will feature a boss-rush mode similar to Destiny 2‘s Pantheon, which may prove to be extremely popular.
