Here's a comprehensive guide to PvE Operations in Destiny 2, focusing on the various activities, their mechanics, strategies, and where to find more detailed information:
Overview of PvE Operations:
PvE (Player vs. Environment) Operations in Destiny 2 encompass a wide range of activities where players face AI-controlled enemies. These activities are key for progressing in the game, acquiring gear, and experiencing the narrative.
Types of PvE Operations:
Strikes:
•Description: Aimed at 3 players, these are shorter missions with a clear narrative or theme, culminating in a boss fight.
•Vanguard Ops Playlist: Includes both regular and seasonal strikes with modifiers for variety.
•Nightfall Strikes: High difficulty versions of Strikes with unique modifiers, offering better rewards. They come in tiers like Hero, Legend, Master, and Grandmaster, with increasing difficulty and rewards.
•Strategy: Focus on loadouts that counter the modifiers or specific enemy types. Coordination for boss DPS phases is crucial.
Raids:
•Description: 6-player activities that are the pinnacle of PvE content, requiring coordination, strategy, and communication.
•Examples: Vault of Glass, Vow of the Disciple, Root of Nightmares, etc.
•Strategy: Each raid has unique mechanics and puzzles. Teams need roles, often involving add control, puzzle solving, and boss damage phases. Checkpoints allow partial progress saving.
Dungeons:
•Description: Designed for 3 players, Dungeons offer a mix of raid-like encounters but are generally more accessible.
•Examples: Shattered Throne, Pit of Heresy, Prophecy, etc.
•Strategy: Similar to raids but with fewer mechanics. Focus on boss mechanics, puzzle solving, and managing enemy waves.
Seasonal Activities:
•Description: Varies each season but often includes unique missions or events linked to the season's story.
•Examples: Heist Battlegrounds, Override, Astral Alignment, etc.
•Strategy: Adapt to the seasonal mechanics, often involving collecting or depositing objects, defending points, or defeating waves of enemies.
Lost Sectors:
•Description: Mini-dungeons found on planets, offering quick combat scenarios and loot.
•Legend/Master Variants: Solo-friendly with a chance at exotic armor drops.
•Strategy: Learn enemy spawn patterns, manage your abilities and ammunition for the boss fight.
Public Events & Patrols:
•Description: Open-world activities available to all players in patrol zones.
•Heroic Public Events: Offer better rewards when certain conditions are met.
•Strategy: Understand the steps to convert events to heroic. Use patrol missions to level up or farm materials.
Gear and Build Optimization: 
•Weapons: Choose weapons based on the activity's enemy types or specific encounters. For example, weapons with anti-champion mods for Nightfalls.
•Armor: Focus on mods that complement your subclass and the activity's requirements (e.g., orb generation, stat increases).
•Subclasses: Each subclass has strengths; some are better suited for certain activities or enemy types. Newer subclasses like Prismatic or Strand offer unique playstyles.
General Tips: 
•Communication: Use in-game or external voice chat for better coordination, especially in raids and dungeons.
•Preparation: Check your loadout before entering an activity. Understand what you're up against through guides or community resources.
•Adaptability: Be ready to switch strategies or loadouts if an approach isn't working.
•Learning from Others: Watch videos or read guides from experienced players. Posts on social platforms like X can provide quick tips or strategies
Resources:
•Guides: Websites like blueberries.gg, maxroll.gg, or Reddit threads (r/DestinyTheGame) offer in-depth strategies and build recommendations.
•Bungie's Guides: Bungie occasionally releases their own guides or tips for new content.
•Community Content: You'll find countless videos on YouTube by content creators specializing in Destiny 2 strategies.
Note: Remember, mastering PvE Operations in Destiny 2 is about learning from each attempt, adapting to the game's evolving meta, and enjoying the cooperative nature of the game with friends or the community. |
