Destiny 2 Revenant Brings A New Onslaught Mode And A Big Focus On Stasis
One of Destiny 2’s newest long-term activities, Onslaught, will see a new version, new maps, and a few updates when the game’s next content episode, Revenant, launches on October 8.
Bungie gave a look at the next major content drop coming to the game during a developer livestream, showing off gameplay of a new version of Onslaught called Onslaught: Salvation. It brings three new maps to the mode–including Widow’s Court, a multiplayer map set on Earth–as well as new batches of enemies and new defenses.
The new Onslaught is a version of the activity centered on the episode’s story, which concerns the Scorn–the undead alien enemies created by the Darkness back in the Forsaken expansion in 2018. The story carries forward the thread started at the end of Destiny 2’s latest expansion, The Final Shape, and covered in the last episode, Echoes. The defeat of the Witness created powerful artifacts called Echoes, one of which was grabbed by Maya Sundaresh in the last episode and used to empower and uplift the Vex. In Revenant, another Echo falls into the hands of the Fanatic, the Scorn’s leader from Forsaken, and he’s using it to evolve the Scorn in new ways.
