Vex King Biography & Facts

Destiny 2: Lightfall is a major expansion for Destiny 2, a first-person shooter video game by Bungie. Representing the seventh expansion and the sixth year of extended content for Destiny 2, it was released on February 28, 2023, after being pushed back from its original fall 2022 release as a result of the delay of the previous expansion, The Witch Queen. Lightfall revolves around the exiled Cabal emperor Calus, a recurring character throughout Destiny 2, now a Disciple of the Witness, as he, the Witness, and their army of Shadow Legion Cabal and Tormentors attack the secret, technologically advanced human city of Neomuna on Neptune to procure a mysterious being called the Veil to herald a second Collapse. The expansion added a second Darkness subclass for players called Strand, with powers based on unraveling, suspending, and severing opponents via manipulation of reality through an extra-dimensional matrix called the Weave. Other content includes new missions, Player versus Environment locations, a Player versus Player map, player gear, weaponry, and a new raid. Two new dungeons as well as a returning reprised raid, "Crota's End" from the original Destiny's (2014) The Dark Below expansion, were released over the course of the year. There were also four seasonal content offerings released throughout Year 6 of the game: Season of Defiance, which was available alongside the expansion, Season of the Deep in May 2023, Season of the Witch in August 2023, and the current and final season, Season of the Wish, which began on November 28, 2023, and will run until the launch of the next expansion, The Final Shape, which was delayed to June 2024. As a result of this delay, a free content update was released in April 2024 titled Into the Light. This is also the final content year for Destiny 2 to use the seasonal model, as the seasons will be replaced by larger episodes in Year 7. Gameplay Lightfall expands on the base Destiny 2 gameplay by adding a new free roam world for the city Neomuna on the planet Neptune. Over the course of the year of content for Lightfall includes one new raid, "Root of Nightmares", released on March 10, 2023, two new dungeons, "Ghosts of the Deep" and "Warlord's Ruin" during Seasons 21 and 23, respectively, and one returning raid, "Crota's End", from the original Destiny's (2014) The Dark Below expansion, which was added on September 1, 2023, during Season 22 and is free for all players to access. It features the same story as the original, but accounts for differences in Destiny 2, such as gameplay mechanics and Champion enemies, as well as a new starting instance on the Hellmouth on Earth's Moon (players begin the raid in the Hellmouth area like the original, but cannot explore the rest of the Moon beyond this area). New and existing story content was expanded with a "Legendary" difficulty similar to that from The Witch Queen (2022), designed to be challenging for single players but with improved rewards for completing. Starting with Lightfall and future expansions, previous expansions and their content will no longer be removed from the game and placed in the Destiny Content Vault (DCV), but seasonal content will still continue to be removed and vaulted at the start of each expansion. While the other seasonal activities from The Witch Queen were removed with Lightfall, the PsiOps and Heist Battlegrounds activities from Season of the Risen (Season 16) and Season of the Seraph (Season 19), respectively, were added to the Vanguard Ops playlist, and, alongside the Battlegrounds from Season of the Chosen (Season 13), were also made available as Nightfalls and Grandmaster Nightfalls. Emperor Calus's Shadow Legion, Cabal warriors that carry the power of the Darkness, and Tormentors, the personal soldiers of the Witness, are new major enemies within Lightfall. Cabal Shadow Legion enemies use Pyramid technology to shield themselves in battle. Described by Bungie as the "most scary unit [players] have ever fought", Tormentors use giant scythes in battle and can suppress Guardian ability and super usage and even instantly kill Guardians by grabbing them at close range. Beyond Light (2020) introduced the game's first Darkness subclass, Stasis, which used items called Aspects and Fragments to give the player more customization of how Stasis could be used; during The Witch Queen, the original Light powers of Void, Solar, and Arc were revamped to be given the same Aspect and Fragment system as Stasis. Lightfall added a brand new, second Darkness subclass called Strand, which also features this modularity. Strand's powers are based on unraveling, suspending, and severing opponents via manipulation of reality through an extra-dimensional matrix called the Weave. One such power is a grappling hook-like ability that allows Guardians to grapple onto environmental features or other characters, enabling new forms of movement. Each of the main character classes gain a new subclass based on Strand: Berserkers for Titans, who can use twin Strand blades to quickly slice through enemies through their "Bladefury" super; Broodweavers for Warlocks, who can unleash Strand missiles which explode into creatures called Threadlings upon impact through their "Needlestorm" super; and Threadrunners for Hunters, who can summon a Strand rope dart to lash enemies with through their "Silkstrike" super. Across the board, Lightfall introduced adjustments to game difficulty levels for endgame content (e.g., Nightfalls and raids) and based on Bungie's monitoring of activities to date. Rather than setting and capping these activities at a given level, higher-difficulty activities are only available to players above certain power levels. Further, Guardians' Power level is given a penalty based on the difficulty level, making them more vulnerable and less damaging to enemies. Accompanying these changes include an improved system of rewards to make the challenging content more worthwhile to complete. Elemental burns, which were originally fixed based on the activity, are now split into season-long and weekly rotating surges (increases for Guardians' damage) and threats (increases for enemy damage). Special overcharged weapons grant additional damage during periods where its element is surging. Among gameplay improvements, Lightfall adds an in-game loadout feature, which previously were performed through third-party applications that interfaced with Destiny 2. This allows players to set pre-determined armor and weapon sets, including all mods and appearance modifiers, making it easy to switch between various loadouts for various activities. During Season 23, Lightfall introduced an improved in-game "looking for group" (LFG) feature before the release of the next expansion, The Final Shape (2024), which allows players to easily find other players to engage with content that is designed for matchmaking; the beta for the in-game fireteam finder feature began on November 30, 2023, with its full rele....
