Destiny 2 devs finally address PVP complaints with new content roadmap BungieIt\u2019s no secret PVP has been more of a secondary focus for Destiny 2 of late, but Bungie has addressed the state of its competitive offerings, outlining new content on the way to keep things fresh for the most dedicated players. At its core, Destiny 2 has a few distinct pillars. There\u2019s the PVE side of the equation, with story missions, seasonal activities, Dungeons, and Raids aplenty. Then there\u2019s the PVP side, with everything from casual modes to Iron Banner and Trials. We won\u2019t mention the oft-overlooked PVPVE pillar for now. While recent expansions and seasonal launches have bolstered the PVE slate time and time again, PVP has remained somewhat stagnant in recent periods. Naturally, those who lean more toward the competitive side have had a fair bit to say. Now addressing the state of PVP head-on in a colossal August 3 \u2018Stage of the Game\u2019 blog post, devs have explained why new offerings have been few and far between, while also setting the table for what\u2019s to come down the road. Bungie explains how new Destiny 2 PVP content comes with a major \u201ctradeoff\u201d First up, Bungie acknowledged the vocal player base, assuring they\u2019re aware of calls for \u201cmore maps, fewer cheaters, and an ever-evolving meta that feels good to compete in.\u201d As it\u2019s been well over a year since the last PVP battleground arrived, albeit a re-skin of an earlier Destiny map at that, \u201cthe most frequent feedback is that there is just not enough new PVP content,\u201d devs admitted. Explaining why new maps, in particular, are a big commitment, they then outlined why there\u2019s been such a drought. \u201cTo set expectations, our studio structure is built to support more overarching updates to PvP like the ones above, rather than focusing exclusively on maps. \u201cWhen we do focus our resources on building new Crucible maps, it comes with the tradeoff of multiple teams\u2019 bandwidth on work that contributes to a variety of experiences that players also hold dear, such as new story or Exotic mission content, core activities that make up the foundation of each Season, or new destinations.\u201d Put simply, allocating devs to PVP content comes directly at the expense of PVE content, Bungie claimed. New PVP content on the horizon for Destiny 2 Despite the resources required to get new PVP content out the door, Bungie assured there is indeed some new additions for avid players to look forward to, including, you guessed it, a new map. Below is a condensed look at everything outlined for the future of Destiny 2\u2019s PVP component: Season 22: New 6v6 map \u2013 Multiplex – New 6v6 mode \u2013 Relic – Checkmate modifier arriving for multiple PVP modes – Matchmaking improvements for Control & Iron Banner – – Season 23: New Iron Banner mode – New H\u00e4kke Aggressive Frame Strand Pulse Rifle – Re-release of The Citadel PVP map – – So that\u2019s what fans can expect on the PVP side as Destiny 2 gears up for The Final Shape next year. Rest assured, we\u2019ll keep you posted here as any further details emerge in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
