With the new Deep Stone Crypt raid and Master Empire Hunts, **Destiny 2 new player Guide 2: Beyond Light ** has given Guardians more ways to combat the Fallen. The introduction of the new Stasis subclass elevates crowd control to another level, giving players the opportunity to freeze foes to make their lives easier. To tackle Destiny 2’s newest PvE content, there are a few builds for Hunters that can make them one of the most useful assets in a raid group, high-level Empire Hunt, or Master Nightf

While Destiny 2 remains in desperate need of a new enemy faction, Bungie has at least provided a new element to master. By delving into Darkness, players can harness Stasis's power, which grants them ice-based powers to freeze and shatter enemies. Stasis is a satisfying addition to the Destiny 2 sandbox, giving players new ways to build their character and fireteams. It opens new ways to play PvE and is the best new addition Destiny's had in years. To make Stasis even better, players can continuously unlock new abilities for the element after the campaign, giving players even more ways to modify the experience to their liking.


Nowadays, many people are introduced to tabletop roleplaying games after starting out with video games, rather than the other way around. A few aspiring game designers have even created tabletop RPGs inspired by the settings, characters, and gameplay of their favorite computer RPGs, strategy games, and first-person shooters. Many of these "homage" RPGs focus on narrative over simulation, sacrificing intricate rules in favor of creating character interactions and plot twists even the most cutting-edge video games can't yet ma
