Red Bull and Destiny will team up this summer to bring special bonuses to players. Specially marked cans of the energy drink will feature codes that will give players an experience boost, and later will also gain them access to a special quest when the “Taken King” DLC is released on September 15th.

“This partnership brings two brands synonymous with adventure together to offer Destiny players a unique opportunity to further advance their Guardians in the Destiny universe,” said Tim Ellis, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Activision. “Whether a player is new to Destiny or with us since launch, the special quest promotion [...]

The House of Wolves expansion for Destiny dropped on May 19, and we’ve been playing it since. People have been upset about the lack of raids this time round, but there’s still enough for players to sink their teeth into. We thought we’d delve into it a bit for our readers.

The Reef—the brand new social area, is the primary focus of House of Wolves. Players have been invited by the Queen of the Awoken—the one that helps the Guardian access the Black Garden, to the Reef. The Queen needs the help of the Guardians to track down one of her rogue lieutenants, who has betrayed her and sought to take over the “House of Wolves”. Obviously there are new [...]

Destiny has had just a few issues that fans have been clamoring for Bungie to fix—one of which is all over the Bungie forums. Vault space it seems has been the major issue for most Destiny players, and Bungie have heard their pleas and have answered in kind, but there is a downside for last generation’s consoles.

According to the Bungie weekly update, the next in-game update will be preparing for the next expansion—House of Wolves. Bungie stated their excitement and made reference to ideas announced two weeks ago, including PvP Ammunition, Strike, Raid fixes, and finally Vault Space. Vault space seems to the first one they’re focusing on. They know that fans have [...]

Bungie are back from the holiday break with more updates for Destiny as well as some non-conformist Christmas Cheer.

Posted January 9, the Bungie newsletter has revealed some interesting tidbits regarding the recently released raid “Crota’s End”. The team over at Bungie are currently putting the finishing touches on ‘Hard mode’ for the raid and will spoil the release date as soon as they come up with one. No further information on ‘Crota Hard mode’ was given other than the hint of more trophies and new strategies.

Despite Crota’s End not being completed fully yet, they had more to share with Destiny fans. The next update [...]

Published October 2, 2014 in an Italian Destiny group was an image that appears to reveal some information about Destiny‘s future expansions. Despite the post having been around for two months already, English-speaking countries are just catching on. Please note that the below information has not been verified by Bungie.

The image in question. If you can read it, feel free to tell us what it says!

It was revealed 12 hours ago on Reddit via the Destiny Reddit StrikerCodex that the House of the Wolves expansion could grace our presence on March 10. The image was allegedly deciphered by a user with incredibly good eyesight named Eren Jäger on [...]

When Hype Turns to Disappointment

The buzz from the first annual Video Game Awards is still simmering down, even while APGNation is about to release its own list of favorites for 2014. It’s easy to get lost in the hype during the holidays, but I say no! No to all [...]

Those looking for new adventure in the stunning science fiction universe of Destiny will have a lot to look forward to with the upcoming release of the game’s first expansion “The Dark Below.” This update, which will cost gamers $19.99, brings new content to the game and raises the level cap to allow for even faster gunplay and combat.

“Destiny is and always has been a long-term vision for us,” said Pete Parsons, COO of Bungie. “An important part of that vision includes listening to the community as we shape what comes next. Since launch, we’ve made significant real-time improvements to the game based on player feedback, and our first [...]

For those seeking more content from their Destiny adventure, well your in luck! As the game’s first expansion pack, The Dark Below, arrives this December 9th. It is jam-packed full of new content and challenging missions. This marks the first expansion for the record-setting game since it launched back in September and marks the addition of new story content, weapons and other gear to Bungie’s MMO Shooter.

“Destiny was created as a living universe, which has allowed us to improve the experience post launch in real-time,” says Harold Ryan, President of Bungie. “It also gives us insight into the things players are looking for in new content. We’ve seen from [...]

Bungie announced via their latest blog posting that Destiny will be taken offline for a few hours for maintenance. The patch, 1.0.2.1, will introduce numerous fixes to existing issues including one of the biggest: QuickScoping. 

Quickscoping, in case you weren’t aware, allows a player to swiftly switch to the scope of, say, a sniper rifle and fire immediately. The short range disadvantage of a weapon such as that is taken away and, well, the results can be devastating. There are other fixes going live as well.

Loot is aplenty despite Bungie recently shutting down Destiny’s treasure cave. The old cave was patched but within less than a day players have figured out a new farming location to suit all your loot needs.

As seen in the video posted above by PS4Trophies the new location is in the Rocketyard area of the Old Russia on Earth planet. In this area the enemies spawn every six seconds (just like the original Skywatch treasure cave) near a hallway so that they are sort of funneled through where the player, from far away, can easily pick them off. If you run out of ammo then just check the remains and drops and you’ll be sure to fill your clips and over time pick up [...]
