In a recent move by PlayStation, players of Destiny 2 will have the opportunity to obtain an entire subclass ahead of the launch of The Final Shape, thanks to the monthly PlayStation Plus games. The May lineup includes the game Destiny 2: Lightfall, along with other titles like EA Sports FC 24, Ghostrunner 2, and Tunic. Players on PlayStation can claim Lightfall and complete the Strand unlock quest and material farm to permanently acquire the subclass. However, this subclass will not transfer to other platforms like PC unless the player also owns Lightfall there.
Despite the negative reception of Lightfall due to its lackluster story, players have found the expansion enjoyable thanks to the challenging Legend difficulty, introduced in the previous expansion, Witch Queen. Although the story may be lacking, the missions are structured well, making gameplay engaging. The expansion has caused a decrease in player count and revenue for Destiny 2 this year, but the addition of the Strand subclass has been well-received by the community.
The Strand subclass has become highly popular in Destiny 2, with some of the most powerful builds in the game revolving around it, such as the Banner of War for Titans and Unraveling, Threading Warlock. Hunters also have some strong builds, making it essential for players to add Strand to their arsenal. With the upcoming release of The Final Shape, which will introduce a new Prismatic subclass that can be paired with other elements, having the Strand subclass will be even more important.
In addition to the Strand subclass, players can also unlock the expansion-mandated Stasis subclass with Beyond Light. However, Stasis may be less useful in Strand in its current form, although there are promises of larger reworks to come with The Final Shape. Players are encouraged to claim Lightfall and unlock Strand to enhance their gameplay experience in Destiny 2.
Players interested in the Destiny 2 franchise can follow the author on social media platforms like Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and Instagram for updates and content related to the game. The author also recommends checking out their sci-fi novels, including the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy, for fans of science fiction literature and storytelling. Overall, the PlayStation Plus games offer an exciting opportunity for Destiny 2 players to access new content and subclasses as they await the release of The Final Shape.
