The primary activity that will highlight Act II is the Tomb of Elders, which Bungie described as a revamped version of the Prison of Elders activity from the first Destiny.
The Tomb of Elders is a rougelike activity that tries to be “as variable as possible” with the objective of entering into combat rooms (aka cell blocks), clearing enemies and objectives, and generally trying to maintain a warden’s favor rating while navigating increased difficulty as a result; the more favor earned, the more loot players get, but modifiers can apply things like shorter objective time limits to ramp up the challenge.
The stream also granted a look at the next episode artifact and the tiers of buffs it will grant as players earn XP for it, provided a preview of two new fusion rifles, discussed mechanical changes like a buff to roaming super recharge times in PvE, and an upcoming collab with Street Fighter 6 that brings cosmetics, emotes, and finisher moves. The full broadcast can be watched below if you’ve got 45 minutes to burn.
