- Destiny 2's lore and story is pivoting to a foreboding place with the Into The Light update. In the latest Bungie developer livestream it was revealed that the Last City will be need to be defended against the Pyramid Fleet. The activity in which we'll do this is Onslaught and we'll be getting a helping hand from Lord Shaxx who will be in charge of the city's defense.

Since Shaxx will give us full access to his arsenal, does that mean I will finally be reunited with my raze lighter?
Considering we have it at our “grave” as we saw in season of dawn, I wouldn’t be too surprised
I really hope so 😢
I will pleasure him for Icebreaker.
PLEASE
No land beyond was my baby and I've been wanting since d2 dropped
*In Zavala voice* - “Does this say, flame turret?”
Cyde would be proud
In loving memory of Lance Reddick. Our Commander awaits us to step INTO THE LIGHT.
Finish the fight for him, Guardians.
Shaxx would be yelling
Shaxx: Remember guardian, these weapons are to be deployed against the Witness’ forces only. It was hard enough convincing Zavala to allow them back at all, so under NO circumstances are you permitted to bring them into crucible.
The Guardian:
"In case you couldn't tell, I winked from under the helmet."
"Also throw plenty of grenades."
"I'm going to assume you winked under your helmet so I am going to ignore what you just said"
All our allies are gathered at a war table:
Caiatl: The Cabal will provide Turrets for the City's Defense.
Mithrax: House Light gives trip mines.
Vanguard: And we will send out Sweeper Bots.
Caiatl and Mithrax: ...
Lmao
Don't underestimate the sweeperbot.
You forgot shaxx’s contribution GRENADES!!!!
...and in the end, The Witness saw its doom: SweeperBot with its bloodstained broom.
@@PerryGray this is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Interesting note: With the Hive being part of this, from what I recall this marks the first time where all 4 of the main enemy factions (Fallen, Cabal, Vex, Hive) have attacked the Last City at some point. Neat.
This is, quite literally, a tower defense game mode
Which this game needed
@@LividCreaturewhat do you suggest then
@@LividCreature you're definition of stagnation is different from mine
You do realize this isn't something they've had a lot of time to work on right? What did you expect with a short development cycle?
@@LividCreature what the blazes do you suggest then? reinvent the entire game from the ground up?
@@LividCreature new gamemode is evolving isnt it?
I know when speaking about Shaxx working with old allies getting us weapons, and we immediately think of Ada-1 because of the Black Armory weapons. I also hope we get Shiro-4 to return as well since he was a master at weapon crafting hense Tresspasser.
If Shiro and Ada are working together it could lead to some interesting dialogue, I would love if it led to both of them crafting the season exotic together
The problem i have is that i want the city invasion to feel like red war, city in flames, total chaos a real last stand. But with the nature of the game it will just feel separate.
Not just the Chaos. Your powerless ass crawling while desperately avoiding enemy patrols hits different. Had it not been a +16 game maybe they couldve shown civilian massacres instead of only human bones near Warbeast dens
The red war had the benefit of being the main part of a campaign. ITL is being added to the game as filler content that can’t take too much manpower from final shape.
Honestly I don’t think it would make sense to do that again from a narrative view as the red war really should mean the city is more prepared for breaches of the walls and able to evacuate areas accordingly. Basically it would be dumb if nothing has changed since the last time as the city was totally taken over whereas this time we are actually making a defence.
If you expect a free event to have that much effort put into it you’re a damn fool
@@azraelwolfsblood2902Everything is focus on TFS
I’m a be honest you’re doing a way better job at selling me on this than the actual live stream
It was way too long and I hate it’s been divided up in three parts. Feels like another business engagement thing.
@@JPOG7TV probably not that or more that they want to actually give things the time to be explained and covering everything in a single 1hr stream wouldn't be enough
@@JPOG7TV9/10 times I would agree with this sentiment but it’s honestly a much better way to go this route. Hype is built up over time. Plus every aspect of the update gets its own dedicated time slot. For example, the weapons/loot getting its own dedicated live stream. Which also might hint at other content coming with the update. If Shaxx’s arsenal and the Black Armory are dropping from this new activity, the Midnight Coup is likely dropping from something different. Too many hand cannons to come from one activity. Luna’s Howl and or Not Forgotten, and Kindled Orchid are practically confirmed to drop from the activity. 3/4 hand cannons in one loot pool is a bit extreme.
@@JPOG7TVyes bro like why is it divided like I get your trying to keep the hype till it comes but that’s just annoying asf honestly imo
You're a blessing to the Destiny community, thanks for being such a badass
Just on the fly after the stream, Byf is able to sell this mode harder than any of the week script filler those guys were sticking to, I mean goddamn, can we petition Bungie to get Byf to write these reveal drops already?
He is too good for the mediocrity Bungie pumps out right now.
With onslaught taking place on PvP maps this makes me wish we at least had more pvp maps in the city. If I’m correct Midtown & Bannerfall are the only maps in the city, so the rest will either be on other earth locations or somewhere else in sol. I am hoping the new pvp maps coming in May are part of Onslaught.
They mentioned we are gonna fight in other new parts
include Twilight Gap close last city?
I wouldn't be surprised if they'll add dreaming city maps in it too
we have some map locations in the city from red war and a few other events like when the traveler healed so they can always use them
The Eliksnee Quarter, or whatever it was in... the raid, it was taken from? Anyway, that could also be a good place narratively to defend, as it's where our two species became allies and fought along side each other against the Vex.
It would have been crazy if they made the old tower the only social space, placing every vendor there and turn the actual tower into one of the new gamemode map. It would have been really impactful, the Witness actually hitting hight value target zones and would make sense for the convenient timing for the old tower being repaired. Also as a bonus, non vendor key characters should also be placed in the new tower, old tower or HELM at least as backround (mithrax, eido, sloane, ana bray ...)
They should also bring back the last mission from vanilla destiny 2 that took place in the last city, the one where you killed Ghoul, change the order, remove his ship and the cabal and just make it another map. Many actual destiny 2 players didn't get to play it and for some of us veterans it would be a nice call back to the first moments of destiny 2, even if those were not the best, that mission specifically was.
Nah we want the og tower back
I do really hope that we see the pyramid ship in the sky as we are playing and see in the tower
At first I was like “Wait, I thought the Witness couldn’t see what we were doing while it was inside the Traveler.” But I suppose it doesn’t need to see us to hinder us. I imagine it relayed one simple order to its minions while in the Pale Heart. Something akin to “Keep them busy. Or “Slow them down.”
Well since when has lore slowed them down
My biggest gripe here, is that if its all PvPs map doesn't make it feel like "defending the Last City"
It just feels like defending a PvP zone given so far the ADU positions seem to be placed at A, B, C zones
There is more than one map.
Reduce Reuse Recycle, the theme of bungie higher ups😂😂😂
That's literally the point of them being crucible maps for situations like this
I'm hyped for all the lore we will getting from the game and Byf these next few weeks.
I’m no expert here, but tactically speaking it makes no sense to leave Neomuna alone. They’re a big ally of ours and they have the Veil. It makes a lot of sense if the Witness attacks Earth and Neomuna seeing as how both cities control key elements of accessing the portal.
I do actually like big horde modes. Something like the Altars of Sorrow, but not just Hive-type enemies.
I liked this reveal. I'm always up for another hoard mode in Destiny. They're my favorite way to relax with the game. It also takes care of a key story point so that our battle with the Witness can be the sole focus of TFS.
It would be cool if they put a revised taken themed Zero Hour back in with this update.
If they ever update onslaught post TFS, one mission has to be rebuilding Insurrection Prime. Imagine having a _friendly_ Brig during a boss fight.
Or hive wizards trying to figure out the APC mechanic.
Byf is great as always, genuinely enjoy each one of your vids bro.
I've been waiting for you all day! 😅 love it!
Was waiting on this one!🎉
*tears in eyes*
"Did someone say 'Midnight Coup'?"
Thanks a gain Byf, Im here for the lore. And the lore only.
You kind of got me into Star citizen and I have been playing it since your prison escape video
Looks fun! I'm a big fan of these little updates. Should be a great time.
DESTINY 2 TOWER DEFENSE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Ironic thing is that destiny was supposed be o get a collab with a tower defence game a while back but it hasn’t materialised yet
@@JPOG7TV Arknights.
I was pretty excited when Lowlight (the head of Hypergryph, the company behind the game) announced the collaboration between these two games. But, after all the things that happened last year.
I’m not gonna be surprised if that idea was canned.
@@deathrex007 i hope it comes back i want doctora coat for my warlock
I love that my boi Lord Shaxx is our handler for this. But I’m worried that they weren’t able to record any new lines lines for him in the activity ☹️
They had him in for season of the Wish and the dungeon and if he's voicing things in TFS, then they could probably steal him for a few lines😅 that being said, i share your concerns.
I think I missed that part. Did something happen with Shaxx voice actor?
@@aljazslemc9569 "If he's voicing things in the Final Shape" - those lines would have been recorded at the very latest several months ago. If he's voicing at all. And from what I've seen, they're just repurposing Shaxx's standard Crucible-hype-man lines for this activity.
This is from a dev build so I’m leaning towards new lines bc this build could be from months ago😮
Honestly so excited for into the light now, shame the live stream had such a toxic chat
I think 'rightly angered, poorly communicated' is a better descriptor.
@@eliaspanayi3465 idk in the RUclips stream they were very toxic; I just don’t understand this level of anger for a free update bungie made to fill the gap in the delay
@eliaspanayi3465 No, it was definitely toxic. Especially the "friend" requests people started sending the guy.
Infact Toxic isnt a strong enough word for it, the people there were absolutely vile.
Banned weapons, aka sunset weapons
Well they're no longer sunset, some of the Leviathan weapons are able to be up to Pinnacle now (friend in discord checked and he was able to boost it
@@cyrus6461 REALLY??
@@cyrus6461 which ones?
@@amaze865 idk, I am a relatively new light (end of WQ), all I know is check your Leviathan weapons to see what isn't Sunset
I excited for this, but I do think this was something that was part of final shape they are releasing because of the delay
The stream was far longer than it needed to be. Everyone I've talked to about it has agreed that all three livestreams should have been combined into a single1-1.5 hour livestream. I really hope next week isn't just a whole hour of talking about a handful of new weapons.
Hopefully new weapons that are both returning and reissued. I smell a recluse. Hopefully some new returning exotics. Some people are saying Red Death but I don't know. We haven't gotten any confirmation about if Black Armory weapons will return but seems to be the best time to bring it back thematically.
Right off the bat, some background merch.
Probably the fastest I’ve ever clicked on a Byf video
Yay light fall cut content
I wonder if the hand cannon we see is Tex Mechanica? Personally, I just really want new and old Black Armory weapons and armor, Daito, more Tex Mechanica, MIDA, and Crux/Lomar weapons added to the loot pool. Ada offering new and old BA weapons and armor would give us more incentive to visit her.
A legendary TM hand cannon would be neat. Especially if its energy slot so we can use it with Dead Mans Tale
Imagine red death with a vampiric theme that is focused on the offensive power of vampires while crimson focuses on the swift healing abilities
Red death is the season pass weapon for the echoes episode. Blackburn confirmed this. Likely they were referring to sunset crucible pinnacle weapons
Glad to know I am not the only one with lots of respect for the original Tower social space. Really hoping it will be back in D2. Sometimes log into D1 just to see snd listen to its ambience. ❤
Any plans on doing another full story/lore video up to final shape before expansion? Thanks so much for all your effort!
Can we just admire the fact that the Rep tied to Shaxx in this event is called "Hype" !?
If Shaxx is opening his armory to us, then maybe ill get my beloved Origin Story back... (I know Horror story is technically the same gun... But there was something special about that gun to me...)
Dont forget rwcluse and lunas howl
It's like Eyasluna. The Menagerie weapon was the same both in design and general stats, but everyone still wanted the old-but-gold.
It was painful dismantling that gun when Sunset rolled around.
One small note, it seems to be there might be a small light level increase. The midnight coup that was shown is 1830, while the current light cap is 1810
Honestly have taken a nice long break from destiny which was needed coming back and playing more casual excited to see into the light, that being said always watch your videos to catch me up on lore and story and honestly the feeling of the game atm
I've been playing for a few years and I enjoy the game. Never been a big fan of pvp stuff though. Lost my interest back in the day with CoD type games becoming overrun with cheaters.
Haven't been playing Destiny as much as I'd like recently, but I'm looking forward to Into The Light. Games with a lot of lore, history, stories, and world building are my favorite. Destiny is a gem to me in that regard since it's also a great FPS.
Nice timing for the stream with today being my birthday. I consider it a gift to get a little info drop into what's coming. 😁
I imagine there will be another mission to the tower (if ZH doesn’t return) because we spent decades or centuries in-universe and have acquired numerous powerful artifacts and at least denying us the chance to get to said artifacts would be paramount to the Witness (we had Savathun there at one point, parts of the Traveller’s Cage are scattered amongst the City, and the Crown is MIA)
What if that old rumor of the kalishnakov rifle you first got becoming an exotic finally happens. During your first revival outside the wall, in some sort of “moment of weakness” fight against the witness. All before the arena has phases marking key phases in your own and the history of the universe. (Like how depending on your save data and the beginning of 2)
18:22 nice we get to be there at the start instead of coming bqck mid fall like in the red war
This is going to be our version of 6 fronts.
What would be really cool is if it’s mentioned that a good majority of the towers are restored and not just the OG one.
You know what they should have done, based on your description in the first few minutes? To make this feel worth the time investment, is having a city defense rank/level, and based on what it is when the final shape drops, you get a percentage boost of exp or drops. Because the final shape is a ways away, youd want to make the levels hard to attain for the higher ranks, but there's the player incentive and it makes sense in the world of the game.
Come on Bungo.
the yt shorts are great
I hope we see more of the Tree of Silver Wings featured in Root of Nightmares! Maybe the Taken try to stop the spread?
IKR, unless I've missed a lot of lore it seems like the tree of silver wings went nowhere lol
Midtown, twighlight gap, bannerfall
REDDEATH!!!!!
Lord Byf another excellent installment..Thank you good Sir
I bet the social space will be a subsection of the midtown map
question to people who see this, how do you feel about the "lieutenants" of the witness being random fallen be the ones in control of the witness' pyramid ship armies?
The lack of a new enemy race to make up the Witness’s main forces has really left a negative impact on the game. It’s obvious there was meant to be one, as they teased an entire fleet of Pyramid ships for several years. Making the Witness the entire race merged into one entity is a clear excuse for the giant fleet of ships to not have its own forces, and having random Fallen and Hive occupy the ships just really feels off.
@@ultrarisen you have perfectly summarized my thoughts and feelings about it, im glad somebody agrees ♥️
If the taken and scorn are the witness’ personal forces, i’m guessing it would want to redeploy them to the pale heart if we make enough progress in pushing back the disposable grunts in the form of the hive and fallen
I think some sunset pvp pinnacle weapons will be level 50 rewards
It'd be cool to get the old tower back, however it seems like the opening act (mission at least) of Final Shape will take us there anyway. I think it'd be a better emotional hit there than in here
I don't think this is a return to the old tower yet as a new social space. It's probably similar to Xurs social space for Dares - a space used to prep for Onslaught with Shaxx, etc. Best not to get our hopes up on that
Would love to have more vault space and getting my old exotic weapons back too 😌😌😌
As long as I can jump on the table I’ll be happy.
Im just curious to see if the shadow legion come back into the fold in ITL since thats another part of the witnesses armada
I thought onslaught looked cool but this does make me more excited- I know this is a smaller drop but it’s the first time I didn’t finish a live stream. I think for me it’s the reuse of maps but I appreciate the significance.
What are your thoughts on the scrapped “Tigerman” character being the logo for this content drop?
Taken are able to be in the laylines? What if the witness has them searching for and blocking off the laylines physically against crow. As a way tonblock the bridge we are attempting to build?
I like how this update seems coheive between lore and game play
I think they are adding a new light cap…screenshots of the midnight coup from this live stream was at 1830.
I LITERALLY made a forum post asking for PvP maps converted into a horde mode, with bosses every 10 waves! You’re welcome!
Am I the only one who will be very disappointed when we don't go to Egypt to raid a Pyramid Ship?
"The ruins of old egypt are full of wonders. From the remains of mass fields of solar panels to the now desertified agri-district, from the great capital to the further ancient ruins of pre-iron egypt, there is no shortage of fascinating golden-age to bronze-age artefacts to be found.
However, it seems that aside from the hardlight technology that pushed egyptian industry and research, another sort of Light was well studied and enhanced... one we are all well aquainted with. A pyramid ship was spotted burying itself next to the ancient tombs famous to the region, adding a 3rd behemoth to the drying landscape. We believe it has found something the scientists of old used to enhance and shape the Light, without being Guardians. This may be the key to enhancing our people, Guardian... or it may signal more monstrous combinations of Light and Dark like the Tormentors or Nezerac. Beat them to it, Guardian. Bring back whatever they found, at all costs."
A raid that centered around infiltrating an egyptian pyramid, full of golden-age archeology and research labs, entering the dark pyramid, then locating a Light manipulation device in the subterranian desert caves that has been terraforming a half-broken research lab into a forest... there's 3 whole aesthethics here! And imagine a more hardlight-based aesthethic of loot!
Muahahaha i have given you even more to be sad about that wont be added
Edit: looking back at what i said, i do find it a bit weird that golden age egypt wouldnt have built something bigger than the pyramids of giza. Heck, they basically already have. But its poetic so im keeping it
This kinda reminds me of Gears of War Horde Mode. It looks interesting.
have you considered a short of you reading out the flavor text of Vex Mythoclast?
I hope we see all six Towers get rebuilt. I’d love to see each Tower house its own group: one for Cabal, one for Eliksni, one for Awoken. Then maybe one for each Guardian class?
I want my redrix broadsword back. My favorite pulse. Also, kindled orchid was best B. A. Weapon
New social zone. It would be super funny if it was the farm 😅
Onslaught isn’t doing much for me atm, but as long as we get the tower back I’ll be happy, and any opportunity to earn decent loot will be a bonus.
I was wondering why the shorts weren’t showing up in my subscriptions.
Makes sense, Crow went through so far ahead of us, of course he'd be detected and the Witness wants to stop us from following him
It'll be nice to leave the Rampart and return to the Tower.
Maybe the Taken are looking for Sloan as she is all takeny or was I don't remember. And if they have an in on the guardians then it is likely they'd want to gain control of it.
Honestly, if I feel there's one thing missing from Onslaught. It's that this would be a great vehicle to introduce Subjugators.
Bannerfall was my first thought for maps, hadn't considered Twilight Gap. Though I must say Twilight Gap is all rusted out, with maybe functional weapons, so who knows how defensible it'd be.
Pie in the sky, I'd love to see a Land Tank and Cabal emplacements defending a location, Cosmodrome? Somewhere entirely new? It really doesn't matter.
It has far reaching ramifications for civilians to see a Land Tank that would otherwise be used as some kind of invasion staging point.
Absolutely not gonna happen, but it'd be nice to see Cabal/House Light involvement beyond just Guards and Engineers in The Tower, and Ships in the sky.
Still waiting on that last radio broadcast and final mission
Imagine if one of the maps is the 1 the area from the final red war mission or 2 the fallen district
I love everything about Onslaught except the timing. This should’ve been what defiance was about. Ever since the witness went into the portal, it makes sense he’d be doing everything to keep us out. Defiance, according to the devs was about how the war was finally on the home front and Onslaught sells that really well. I’m willing to accept that the witness has maybe upped its game having maybe sensed that Crow is on his way in but besides that it feels like the best activity ever at a different time. It’s a minor criticism but overall this is what I want to see from Bungie, as far as the activity goes, considering stream delivery only, it is very good!
Its Salmon run
Shaxx get singing
Cool, a Tower defense mode.
For the maps, i was really hoping they'd reuse the old Red War city locations and maybe that location from when we entered the city to see the traveler awaken. It's really disappointing we're getting midtown when Last City assests do exist. But maybe I'll be proven wrong in the next two live streams...
Unrelated to lore, but I as an xbox player heard about helldivers 2 recently and really wanted to play it or something like it, and now, lo and behold, my favorite game of all time is going to have a free horde mode!
If recluse comes back then and only then will I share my excitement
Shadow Legion seems to have aligned purpose with taken given that both lacks sentience and follows order of witness without question. Copium as it may be, I need to see the Psion conclave, aligned with Shadow Legion in action and giving some serious lore, giving a cherry on top for this moment and strengthening the Witness cause of attempt.
If savathun is now a partial ally, do you think for the final shape, she may provide hive lightbearers to assist in the witness' defeat?
I don't think the old tower is our new social space. The presenter uses the phrase "down there" when he mentions the new space. I think it's somewhere down in the Last City.
What about the anomaly at the Crystal map? What happens if the witness is going after that?
Pretty sure it’s going to be house salvation, considering it’s them we saw In the gameplay session. But then again, who knows 🤷♂️
For sure, though they just as easily could have been wrathborn, they use the same models.
Crucible: HORDE Mode then.
I know this probably isn't going to happen but i would love to see pyramid ships from the tower just to plant the idea that yes the city is getting invaded
