Destiny 2 is collaborating with the Epic Games Store, including swapping some cosmetics with Fortnite and Fall Guys. This announcement leaked ahead of ...
After all, the idea that Destiny 2 and Fortnite would cross over at some point makes perfect sense. And frankly, there are plenty of Destiny 2 players that also play Fortnite and Fall Guys. Although some players might be turned off by the new cosmetics, it’s a great way to welcome Destiny 2 to the Epic Games Store. Getting Destiny 2 players excited about Fortnite and vice versa while keeping each experience intact is something that could only happen in the era of live service. Destiny 2 is consistently one of the [most popular Steam games](https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/most-popular-steam-games/), so Bungie probably won’t lock out that audience. It’s impossible to say what goes on behind closed doors, but Sony has made it clear that it has had a good relationship with Epic Games over the past few years. Bungie says the collaboration is a celebration of the new launch, with three new skins each in Fortnite, Destiny 2, and on September 13, Fall Guys. [Bungie’s Destiny 2 showcase](https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/destiny-2-showcase-2022-everything-announced/) on Tuesday, and the community reaction was mixed. Destiny 2 is one of the architects of the modern live service games, alongside Fortnite. By proverbially swapping spit, Fortnite and Destiny 2 can lift each other up without compromising the core systems that make each game unique. That is why aspects of Fortnite coming into Destiny 2’s world is a shock. The friction with the Fortnite and Destiny 2 collaboration centers around how different the games are.
In a huge blast of Destiny 2 news, Bungie have announced a release date for Lightfall, plans to stop sunsetting expansions, and so much more!
[on the Epic Games Store](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/destiny-2) in addition to Steam. The penultimate chapter of the "Light and Darkness saga" will see our absolute bezzie frenemy Emperor Calus return as a fully initiated Disciple of The Witness, bringing his Shadow Legion to the brand new region of Neomuna, the capital megacity of Neptune. [During an hours-long stream](https://youtu.be/dCI8Fz2uu3o?t=6548) yesterday, current Destiny 2 general manager Justin Truman said Bungie have "been working on the Destiny engine behind the scenes, preparing our technology and our game to last for many, many years to come. And Destiny 2 class costumes are coming to Fall Guys on September 17th too. After several thousand hours, I stopped playing Destiny 2 at the launch of The Witch Queen because Looking ahead, Bungie also announced that the next expansion, Lightfall, will launch on the 28th of February, 2023. [a stream recap blog post](https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51676), Bungie state plainly, "Seasonal content will continue to stay throughout the current expansion year and then move to the Destiny Content Vault when a new Expansion launches." So they introduced the concept of the Destiny Content Vault, shuffling older parts in and out, including reintroducing some bits from the first game. [lopping off](https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/destiny-2-will-have-a-lot-less-to-do-when-the-destiny-content-vault-is-locked-in-november) the base game's whole big story campaign, the first two expansion campaigns, four whole locations, five raids, loads of multiplayer maps and modes, several secret missions, and more. They might not have the hugest plot developments, but they have the character developments which make people care. Expansions will stick around forever, though seasonal content will still leave at the end of each expansion cycle—and Bungie don't say anything about bringing back all the old stuff. At the time, they
Looking for Destiny 2 map fragments in the new Season of Plunder? Here's how you get them, and how you can unlock more map types for your Captain's Atlas.
No matter which treasure map you slot, you'll still get Plundered Umbral Energy, which can be used to focus engrams for seasonal weapons and armor. Once you get map fragments and treasure coordinates, you can use them to slot a treasure map into your Captain's Atlas, which is available via your quest screen. Just like the lures from the Season of the Hunt, this time it's all about slotting in different map types to change what you get from the expedition. This will allow you to claim an additional reward chest at the end of the Expedition activity. This unlocks after you've helped the Drifter retrieve his stolen goods and have talked to the Spider in the Eliksni Quarter of the last city, accessible through H.E.L.M. But unlike treasure coordinates, which come from doing basically every major activity in the game, you have to do something specific to get these.
While some are not fun right now (stupid exotic catalyst progression mission!), this one is turning out to be a blast, literally. And it's probably going to be ...
If they’re disabled for the raid race, would they be disabled across the rest of the game? This could lead to the almost unthinkable situation of an entire class of weapons being disable for a raid race, which again, we’ve never seen. It’s not like grenade launchers were going to be the heavy slot pick for most World’s First competing teams anyway, with everyone likely opting for more traditional DPS options, whether that’s last season’s mega-powerful Stormchaser, or more traditional exotics like Gjallarhorn or Sleeper. It also means that those random legendary GLs you’ve got stashed in your vault are now some of the strongest heavies in the game, if you don’t want to use the exotic slot for Anarchy or Prospector.

Of course, this is literally about 48 hours before Friday’s King’s Fall raid race, and Bungie is very clearly not going to want that to be run with GLs in the current state they’re in.
Destiny 2 Map Fragments are a new resource in Season of Plunder, obtained from the Ketchcrash activity. Each run awards 10 Map Fragments.

as players have found the item listed as a "Lost Item." In this case, players are advised to clear quest inventory and then picking up the Captain's Atlas from the Postmaster. At this point, it's also recommended to leave the menu and go directly to the postmaster area in the H.E.L.M. Unfortunately, there's a bug in Destiny 2 that is currently preventing players from picking up the Captain's Atlas, which effectively halts any further seasonal progress considering how important the item is.
