Episode #65: A Look at Raids and Dungeons from D2


Listen Later


Brandon’s is en route. Finally.



It was five raids in five days for Tee and Brandon, along with two dungeons between recordings. That’s why the Fireteam assembles this week with a look at the various raids and dungeons offered up by Team Bungie since the dropping of Destiny 2 in 2017.





EDITOR’S NOTE: You might notice the first fifteen minutes of the stream is silent. As penance for playing electronica at the beginning of our stream, Twitch silenced the beginning of Episode 65. An intro was put together from the opening of two previous shows. Audio skills, baby…



Nick is not one for the manic energy of the raid, but Tee and Brandon cannot get enough of the endgame event; and this is why it’s something they love to run and they genuinely enjoy doing. Even with the massive push of getting the “No Power in the Verse Can Stop Me” emblem (We see what you did there, Bungie.), Tee and Brandon are ready to go again.

Dungeons are three Guardians.* Tee’s biggest challenge with a Raid: organizing a Fireteam of six.* A look between Destiny and Destiny 2* Tee has been raiding since Destiny, but was not comfortable with them until Eater of Worlds in Destiny 2.* Raids in D1 could be soloed, not that they were designed to do so.* Raid Lairs are a more compact version of a Raid, and (maybe) easier to get a team together.* A minor gripe: The Leviathan was cool…the first go-round.
