Latest Updates on Destiny 2 Update 7.0.5 Patch Notes

When Was Destiny 2 Version 7.0.5 Released?

The latest Destiny update, Version 7.0.5, was rolled out on April 18. Destiny 2, developed by Bungie, is a popular online first-person shooter game that initially launched in 2017 as a pay-to-play title for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows platforms. It transitioned to a free-to-play model under the New Light title on October 1, 2019, and later became available on Stadia in the following month.

Originally published by Activision, Bungie took over the publishing rights for the game on December 31, 2018. It serves as a sequel to the original Destiny released in 2014, offering players a “mythic science fiction” setting with multiplayer elements akin to a shared-world experience blended with RPG features.

Similar to its predecessor, Destiny 2 offers a mix of player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) activities. PvE content includes strikes, dungeons, and raids for teams of three or six players, while open-world patrol mode allows for exploration and interaction with non-player characters (NPCs). PvP modes feature objective-based gameplay alongside traditional deathmatch modes.

About Destiny 2

Destiny 2 is a popular first-person shooter game developed by Bungie and published by Activision. Launched on August 28, 2017, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows, the game revolves around Guardians protecting humanity’s Last City from various alien threats.

Players select from three classes – Warlock, Hunter, and Titan – each with unique abilities. The game offers both single-player and multiplayer modes, with the campaign following Guardians’ quest to reclaim their powers and defeat the Cabal.

Multiplayer features include player-versus-player modes like Control and Trials of Osiris.

Destiny 2 Gameplay

Players enhance their Guardian characters by accumulating experience points (EXP) to level up and boost stats for combat effectiveness. Since the Shadowkeep expansion, the leveling system has shifted to a “season pass” setup where EXP helps players rank up and earn rewards.

“Main scenario” missions provided by non-player characters (NPCs) progress the game’s story as players complete tasks for rewards and experience points.
