I am still trying to catch up from a week away so I thought I would begin with an update on Destiny 2. Soon after the release of the newest DLC called the Black Armory, Bungie released the latest free event called The Dawning. This is the third time since the original Destiny that a special Winter event has been launched. They have brought back similar things from the previous versions like the ability to throw snowball in battle or just to play around social areas in addition to the floating orbs that decorate the sky during the event. In addition, new bright engrams have been deployed to gift players with additional cosmetics for their Guardians in game.
Bungie has also brought the typical special Questline for the duration of the event. If the quest is completed, you are able to get the limited time Exotic speeder that looks like a sled! It looks pretty fun and comes with some limited features like having the ability to leave a trail of glimmer behind as you speed away in style. The questline itself also incorporates a fun new feature that provides every Guardian a baking oven to make special food for NPCs throughout the game. What is pretty fun is that the ingredients are acquired by just playing the game although some require to play it in a certain way to acquire them. For example, to get the ingredient “Sharp Flavor” you must defeat enemies with a Sword for a chance of them to drop. There is also an alternative to acquire them by spending Essence which is a new temporary item that you get for completing almost any type of activity in the game.
I believe there are a total of 12 recipes to be made. Completing the recipes then provides you a special cookie which you need to provide the various NPCs located around the solar system in the game. You can complete the quest by making the recipes in due time. At first, I was a little worried given the little time I had to complete the questline as it will last only until the next reset on January 1 of the new year! However, after playing through the latest reset an completing most of my required milestones, I was able to acquire most of the ingredients needed to complete the quest and now show off my new sled speeder! I think it was a cool little addition to the game although it somewhat competes with everything else needed given the time-gated deployment of the content from the latest DLC. However, as I mentioned, most of the items needed come from just playing the game and taking a little amount of time to complete the questline.
Thanks!
