Taking it away limits a lot of the important testing that is necessary to see what is good and what isn't in a game filled with loot.Īnd ironically, the next best option for a firing range in Destiny 2 is shooting the Ogre boss in the Titan Lost Sector (many call him Greg) but that planet is going away too. There are numerous possibilities that a true Destiny 2 firing range could offer and if Bungie's goal is to deepen the RPG and the investment, the game needs something like the Tribute Hall in the game. And while they may not use a firing range to test for themselves, those that do enjoy this type of theorycrafting could create more content to highlight useful builds. So many Destiny 2 players likely don't even know that there are some really cool armor builds out there that will take their favorite weapons and exotic armor pieces to the next level. So much goes into making a weapon “good” in Destiny 2 that it would be useful to test everything out ahead of time. Some weapon types are better served with a Counterbalance Mod, for example, while others need the boost of Targeting Adjuster.

Oftentimes a weapon sounds good on paper, but after using it for a few seconds it becomes painfully obvious that it doesn't fit that person's style.ĭestiny 2 players could also take things a step further and test out how weapon mods (or even armor mods) impact the weapon. Bungie plans to add more new perks to the game that are less about buffing obvious qualities like damage or reload speed, and as a result, players might not realize if a weapon roll is good or not. Maybe a Destiny 2 player wants to see how a new perk like Killing Wind impacts a pulse rifle and they would be able to use the Firing Range to test that. Obviously, it's relatively painless to jump into a Patrol Zone and test out the weapon there, but a firing range would make the whole process simpler.

Hopefully, Bungie does create a truly dedicated firing range, because Destiny 2 has been sorely in need of one for a while. Players will have to revert back to their old ways when it comes to testing weapons and builds, assuming that Bungie doesn't introduce a replacement in Beyond Light. In a few months, though, the Leviathan ship is heading into the Destiny Content Vault and with it the Tribute Hall. RELATED: Destiny 2 Video Test Highlights Last Word Recoil There were also a lot of different scenarios that lent themselves well to the Tribute Hall, like using the ammo “displays” to fill up on ammo before heading into an activity. In the Tribute Hall, Destiny 2 players could test out different builds, mods, and weapon perks to see how they affect enemies of certain difficulty tiers. Arguably one of the most useful is the Tribute Hall, which became a de facto firing range for the game once players acquired all of the upgrades/tributes. Bungie is putting whole planets and destinations into the Destiny Content Vault and it's unclear when (or even if) they will ever return.īut while players will miss zipping around Titan to complete quick Public Events or using the Castellum to farm Cabal kills, there are other elements of Destiny 2 that are also going away.

Some seasonal content and activities have gone away in the past, like the Seraph Bunkers or the Sundial 6-player activity, but this is much more significant than that.

With the launch of Destiny 2: Beyond Light, developer Bungie is retiring pieces of major content for the first time in the game's 4-year history.
