The barons are even more dangerous, each with their own unique tactics. The scorned are one of the toughest factions we’ve seen in Destiny - raiders blast you with powerful sniper cannons, chieftains throw totems at you that wreak havok on the battlefield, and “screebs” run at you like wild animals with the singular goal of exploding in your face and killing you in an instant. Throughout the expansion, you’ll be taking on this new enemy faction, and hunting down their leaders known as the barons. Predictably, Uldren’s douchiness has not dulled since we last encountered him, and now he’s claimed the throne for himself with the “scorned” at his side. The premise sets the expansion up for a darker tone than Destiny has had in the past, and delivers on that promise with a campaign that focuses on revenge and loss.įorsaken’s big baddie is Uldren Sov, an awoken prince who fans will remember as the dickish blue guy from Destiny 1. After drying your tears and dusting yourself off, you go rogue and take it upon yourself to avenge the fallen hunter, space western style. What starts as an explosion-laced, joke-filled quest to end a prison break suddenly turns tragic when the most beloved member of the vanguard, Cayde-6, is killed in action. Destiny 2 Forsaken’s opening campaign mission sets the mood for the rest of the expansion.
