The decision has outraged players, who have labeled the move \u201cabsolutely terrible\u201d. When it comes to PvE in Destiny 2, Dungeons are among not just the most popular activities, but the most important. These highly polished and extremely difficult challenges, often looked at as bite-sized Raids, offer some of the most significant experiences in all of Destiny. Up until now, so long as you owned the latest expansion, you had access the latest Dungeon. The trend started with The Shattered Throne during Forsaken\u2019s time in the spotlight, then continued with both the Pit of Heresy and Prophecy during Shadowkeep. Moving forward, however, all future Dungeons from The Witch Queen onwards are set to be locked behind new paywalls, Bungie announced on October 19. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen some debate around the new Dungeon content and wanted to clarify how it will be delivered next year,\u201d Bungie Community Manager \u2018Cozmo23\u2019 addressed on Reddit. Only players who purchase the \u201cDigital Deluxe Edition of The Witch Queen will receive two Dungeons,\u201d they confirmed. For players who purchase the Standard Edition, this endgame PvE content is no longer included.

Moreover, \u201cseparate\u201d payment methods will also be introduced in 2022. These appear to allow players to \u201cpurchase the Dungeons\u201d as standalone experiences. Bungie has not disclosed how much a single Dungeon will cost. Naturally, it didn\u2019t take long for the Destiny community to express their anger with the change. After years of Dungeons being available to all, locking it behind new paywalls has been labeled a \u201cgross\u201d tactic. \u201cThis is an absolutely terrible way to monetize content,\u201d one player stressed. Not only is it \u201crough\u201d for veteran players used to buying new Standard Editions each time around, but it\u2019s also a \u201cterrible\u201d change for new Guardians as well, others chimed in. \u201cNew Lights are bombarded with so many different editions, deluxe packs, seasons, and anniversary packs. Just trying to understand for a new player how to get all of the content is an absolute mess.\u201d With unanimous disdain for the change, we\u2019ll have to wait and see if Bungie reverts its choice in a future update. We\u2019ll be hearing more on these new paywalls \u201ccloser to when the content is set to go live,\u201d Cozmo confirmed, so we will keep you updated with all the latest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 Dungeons are now locked to Deluxe Editions and players are furious BungieDestiny 2 Dungeons will soon be locked behind paywalls, Bungie has confirmed, as the popular endgame activities are moving exclusively to premium bundles.
