TL;DR Unlocking characters in Destiny 2: The Final Shape involves playing through specific game modes, completing certain activities, and possibly acquiring DLC expansions.
Game Modes and Activities
To unlock characters in Destiny 2, players often need to engage with specific game modes or complete particular activities. For instance, playing through the "World of Light" single-player mode has been recommended as a way to unlock characters [1:1]. Additionally, engaging in Gauntlet mode is another method mentioned for unlocking DLC characters
[5:2].
DLC Expansions
Having the appropriate DLC expansion is crucial for accessing new characters. However, simply owning the DLC doesn't automatically add characters to your roster; you still need to unlock them through gameplay [5:1]. This could involve completing specific challenges or missions associated with the DLC content.
Random Drops and Grinding
Some elements of character unlocking may rely on random drops or grinding through various game activities. For example, emblems can be unlocked by opening chests or performing activities on certain planets [3:1]
[3:2]. Similarly, character shards might be acquired through events like rifts or referral programs
[4:1]
[4:2].
Leveling Up
Leveling up within the game can also facilitate the unlocking process. Higher levels might make it easier to unlock certain characters or access specific content [4:4].
Considerations Beyond Discussions
While these discussions provide insights into unlocking characters, it's important to stay updated with official game announcements or guides that might offer more precise instructions or changes in unlocking mechanics. Checking forums or community hubs dedicated to Destiny 2 can also provide additional strategies or tips from experienced players.
Amibos can help and DLCs but pretty sure it’s just grinding
Best way is to do level 1 1 stock cpu and just die and then it will unlock a character beat it and then close and re open the game from scratch and do it again till you get them all
Do you have the most up to date version of the game?
you can unlock them all by playing world of light, its the singleplayer mode. its fun, i highly recommend it
Destiny 2: The Final Shape is available to PlayStation Plus members May 30.
Best to play now . Someone said wait till the next DLC as they going make it more simple for New players?
The next DLC comes out in about 2 months but it’s definitely worth it to dive in and play the final shape campaign.
The Legacy collection is also on there from June 4, so new destiny players with PS+ will have access to almost entire Destiny content up to FS, including several dungeons.
Only the dungeons before WQ. Any dungeon after witch queen you still need the key or annual pass.
I haven't had PS+ in a while, is it free just for the month of June or free in perpetuity once acquired (like standalone games)?
EDIT: Thanks for the responses! I moved to PC but I have a friend who has refused to come back to D2 because they're behind on expacs. Maybe with the newest expac they'll come back for the story and I (or the game) can convince them to stick around.
You need to maintain the PS subscription in order to access it. Otherwise, you’ll “own” it but it’ll be locked/unplayable.
Bungie doesn't exactly handle that well. I remember when Beyond Light was on Game Pass. Once it went off gamepass I immediately lost access to the stasis subclass.
I could understand not being able to play the content (i.e. raids / dungeons) but it seemed a step too far to me to re-lock the subclass.
Great, might check it out again. Still want to finish the fight.
Do I have to play lightfall before TFS?
To fully understand the story? Yes.
To just have access to TFS? No.
You do need to play Lightfall to unlock the Strand subclass.
They just need to know “Radial Mast” and they know the story of Lightfall.
Yeah Lightfall has some sick gameplay but yeah the story is kinda ass compared to Witch Queen or Final Shape, but overall for strand, the raid and loot it’s pretty worth it to play through
People complain about Lightfall's story, but the gameplay is still fun so I recommend it. Plus it's how you unlock the strand subclass, and that alone is worth it.
Literally just random drops from chests. I wish there was a guaranteed way to get them but nope
Most of them unlock randomly from opening chests or doing activities on the planets they're for.
Thank you. Im gonna go cry now since this is gonna last a while.
It shouldn't take you more than a couple hours on each planet. you can pick them up just by running around and grabbing random patrol chests or by doing adventures or pretty much anything on the planet
Its been months since i got any new character shards i guess i have to wait for the rift to get all of them or id there any specific way to get new character shards?
im dojo 12 and still havend unlocked marcus, it seems unfair but i wouldnt play marcus anyway so whatever
You can get marcus from referral event
only impossible for widow for now
How can i get remaining 2?
Level up, it becomes easier to unlock when you level up
Rifts and luck basically I think
any way that gives you shards have a chance to Give you any of them except widow for now
And this my friends is what we call edging
Least horny sfa player
I have the DLC expansion and can’t pick any of the new characters. Do I have to unlock them?
By playing Gauntlet mode
And yet, in every article I’ve read and even in the game itself, this is never explained.
Thank you.
you're not looking, apparently. i mean, it tells you the rewards you get. plus, isn't it kinda fucking obvious that if they aren't automatically in your roster, you need to unlock them? duh.
.
Yes, do the campaign and talk to Shaxx at the tower. Unfortunately I don't think you can skip the tutorial part.
This is correct. There is a certain amount of pve you will need to play to unlock all game features including different ability trees and game modes. Just use the pve portion to grow accustomed to Destiny’s weapon and ability mechanics. Personally I think the pve side is worth your time but you be the judge. Cheers
That’s all I needed to know thank you, idk why it’s so hard to get a straight answer online
What is the name of the campaign that opens Crucible? I'm a total noob & just jumped in & played a lot of stuff in the Cosmodrome, like finding something stashed in the walls, then some public events. Then a couple EDZ quests & the real long Pale Heart one where you go into the Traveller & get prismatic. Crucible still doesn't seem available. Have I flubbed that permanently?
I want to get into this game but before I do I need to know, are there any heroes in the game that are 100% unobtainable as of now? I’m a collector and I mostly just want to know whether I can expect to be able to unlock every character.
The only things worth collecting for most are old event items as they wont be reused for the same event twice (usually) and wont come back.
The only thing that comes close to "unobtainable heroes" are high awaken Heroes (SSS) from the auction house with near perfect stats (9900 atk 9900 hp 99 speed). But those copies will cost you ~400k-500k sg depending on the copy. If you were to obtain the starry gems needed for this via the ingame shop youd have to spend 16.000$-20.000$... And trust me you wouldnt be the only one going for that copy (assuming its a good hero)
(If you were to obtain them in "different ways" you still have to probably pay 2.000$-3.000$ depending on the price of the copy and the rate for your starry gems)
So please think twice before you want to collect things in IH.
Awakenings don’t really fit the spirit of collecting. That’s gambling. Two vastly different things.
I wasnt suggesting to awaken yourself. Its just
>"the only thing that comes close..."
when it comes to collecting rare heroes.
Well you technically could unlock all heroes but the transcendence heroes are as a f2p very hard to get and you would need like 5 years or so to unlock all of them at the same time
Honestly with the new coin shop people can unlock t heroes very quickly. It's what 1.25m crystals x2 in first shop? Not that they should crystals of transcendence, it's pretty fast now though with this. That events monthly.
Good point, if you aren't going for efficiency just collecting you could do it faster than we think. Downside is there are new ones faster than a f2p could obtain, but a mid spending account could keep up if that's all they want to do.
More
I’m at almost 3 years with 7 trans heroes, easily more than 5 years
im sry but this is not a collector game. With how frequently they release transc heroes theres no way you will ever catch up
Dont play the game like that, you'll get no progress.
no
Heads up to anyone who doesn't have the final shape add-on and has a ps plus membership, the final shape is on this month's free games on ps4.
If I get TFS and then later cancel ps+, do I lose access to TFS?
u only have it while u have an active ps+ sub
You wouldn't even be able to play D2 anyway without it???
i think so. When i canceled ps plus, i lost everything i had gotten for free, but it came back when i resigned back on.
Yes
Yes you have to have an active subscription to play any games claimed through PS+, you can rejoin at a later date and your access will be restored.
Game requires plus for alot of the content
So not only is final shape only having a measly 7 story missions, but if you don’t have a raid team you just don’t get to finish the story.
I mean I hopefully this will push more people to use an lfg system and we can have more people get to have an ending to the story and not just watch it on YouTube
I’m aware this news dropped a few days ago wasn’t fully caught up with the news cycle
Have you read literally anything about Final Shape.
Joe said, in like 5 different ways, INCLUDING IN THE MAIN REVEAL ITSELF, this isn't the case.
Raid team is not necessary to see the story end.
Also, shocker, you have to play content? To see the end?
In the main reveal I forget her name but she explicitly states that the witness is a raid boss and there is no other ending that is satisfying than kill the witness the big bad we’ve been waiting to fight for so long so idk what joe means by what he said
Did you play The Taken King? The story missions ended with a pretty cool fight against Oryx where you force him to retreat to his Throne World. You'd have to run King's Fall if you wanted to see him Kaiju-sized or to send him spiraling down toward Saturn, but just playing the story missions still gave you a satisfying fight against the boss of the expansion.
I mean… about 83% of the player base has never even finished a single raid encounter and bungie knows that so idk why they’d do that
All due respect, but you're basically completely wrong. TFS will very specifically have a conclusion that is available and playable by all players and NOT just people who can raid. This has already been clarified specifically because of concerns about how past expansions have featured a conclusion that was locked behind a raid
Bungie has already confirmed that the confrontation with The Witness will take place in The Final Shape's raid, but also promised that non-raiders will experience the climax of the story in full, including the defeat of The Witness. (Assuming we win, of course.) Blackburn says that the denouement won't just be a cut-scene. He explains that whereas The Witch Queen and Lightfall campaigns each had eight missions, The Final Shape will ship with seven "on day one". The implication being that the eighth mission unlocks for everyone once the raid has been beaten. He also indicates that the format of that mission will be different to the boss encounters against Savathun and Calus from previous campaigns. "When we did The Witness it just didn't pass the sniff test, so we knew we needed a different strategy."
So basiclly everyone gets to kill the witness (assuming we win obviously) but the raid is like “true fight” type of thing where yes you do defeat them in the main campaign and it’s different and hard and awesome but the raid is like the “actual way” but both player types are able to get a defeat on the witness… im hesitantly optimistic about that just cause this is bungie we’re taking about
What’s prob gonna happen is we weaken the witness in the raid or something along those lines, then the final campaign mission opens where he gets truly defeated.
Calm your outrage, I think in an interview somebody said that when the raid is beaten, a final activity or mission opens where everyone experiences the ending.
If I’m reading what your saying correctly
once the raid is beaten as in ANYONE beating it like a first clear is done a event becomes available so that everyone can experience the actual ending regardless of raid completion ?
Stay mad dude. Keep finding shit to be upset about. Learn to read.
It’s a commonality in these parts.
if you plan on unlocking all the other myrise story items you're required to play 4 times so you can spread it out to 14 matches per playthrough to get them all
Or if ur like me 5 cause u tried to rush through and accidentally chose to side with the legends twice on ur third playthrough 😔
When does the legend quest line pop up? I just unlocked live events
5 if you want all the trophies.
I just forced closed the game when this happened to me, I did it fast enough before the next segment began and I was able to reload before I made a choice.
I hardly have time to play 1 2* match. I'm 42 and shoveled snow this morning
Exactly. My 40-year-old ass doesn't have time for this grind. 😂
I've learned to just accept that when I finally get this game, I'll never be able to actually unlock more than a third or so of the locked content. All the more reason not to pay full price or close to it ...
Good thing you can take your time with them. I'm 18.5 stars in because I'm running through the matches at my own pace 😂
I’m around 80 stars and maybe 3 of them were 5* matches. The 2 out of 3 falls matches are an easy 5*.
Extreme rules are the easiest 5*. Just keep spamming chair and kendo shots, 2 sigs, 3 finishers.
I just got Odyssey Rift and it’s a damn grind haha I don’t play my faction so those next cards are no use to me but I do want the black and white Demon so I might have to keep going for a while yet. Definitely not getting the DDP one so once I get Finn I’m stopping
Yeah in the time it takes to get 5 stars, I can get two 3 star matches. I learned to stop worrying about the number of stars I got and instead focus on picking matches with the No DQ stipulation so I can beat my opponents as quickly as possible and grind on to the next one.
