50 Things You Didn’t Know in Destiny 2! 

If you have ideas for PART 2 join my discord and let me know please! discord.gg/nkRNgBm Also if you haven’t seen my $1000 Guardian Tournament video, here it is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U3RlcDS-mYg.html

Hey all, editor here, im to blame for the four week gap in vids lol. This one took a crazy amount of effort, and much longer than intended. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to watch it!

Finally guardian ranks made useful

I love all the graphics and animations in this video. Especially the border-timer that goes around each segment! Well produced!

Sometimes I forget how incredible this game has been due to constant bashing and controversies on Twitter. I took a 3 month break from the game and just got back to playing it again from time to time and have been enjoying it a lot!

Despite knowing the spec mod enemy affiliations, I actually hadn't realized that the values for each of them (except Taken) was 7.77%, the ol' "Bungie magic number". I wouldn't even put it past them for it to be specifically 7.777777% in the code.

At 3:33 anti-bar also shoots through hive knight immunity.

1:50 bonus point: if you knew that it was a targeted nerf specifically for stasis warlock with claws of ahamkara, give yourself a point.

At 7:31 , I just want to add that the damage buff given by combination blow also makes your normal melee kills generate power orbs ❤

Bro…. Gambit motes being picked up by powerful attraction is insane.

Solar Titan with Roaring flames active also gives you the ability to create orbs by using your uncharged melee.

Heavy handed also works for knockout and burning flames on titan.

Listing things I didn't know yet: 1. Picking up Motes. Wtf, that is straight up busted 2. Blinding threshers. Good to know 3. Ships with glows. I just use Platinum Starling and the Mayfly, so I never saw that interaction Yep, that's it. I need a life

Speaking of Kill clip, I still hate how it activates with hunter dodge but not Transverse Steps

I gotta watch this video again and again lol all this information so new to me

Also, anti-barrier weapons go through Hive Knight shields, both their healing versions, as well as Lucent Knight barricades.

Don't know if it's already mentioned, but I just found out if you swap to Gally, you hear wolves howling if you listen closely 😂

Good to know my arc buddy does that! Never knew, even more shocking because I use it all the time! Can't believe this is the only thing I didn't know, especially since I use my arc buddy the most.

49/55, so thank you for those 6 things I didn't know! Gotta say, that animation for how the aim assist bloom works was the best I've seen. Very cool, my dude

Absolutely FANTASTIC video! There’s a lot of information in here that, for each you don’t know, can be potentially used to strongly elevate your game. Great stuff!

I love you're video!! Fun to watch and share.

Great info. Great editing. Thanks for compiling.

Dude this maybe the best explanation video i have ever seen tor this game. I learned so much, thank you so much! Excellent work here brother!

Awesome tips and explanation. Thx

It happened that I know all 55 of these and even use most of them😊 It's good to play since release and investigate the deepest deeps of game personally)

Awesome video as usual but being a long time fan of Shadow means I got about 75% of them right😅. Happy to add the new ones to my knowledge pool

Awesome vid, thanks Castle. Keep up the great work!

So many helpful tips!

He said that the max points for an armor stat is 30, but I believe I have a piece of armor that has a 31 stat while not master worked

Dude this video was so refreshing I’m excited to get back for new season from playing Diablo 4!

Good stuff. I learned a lot.

Super interesting! Thx

I must have done something wrong as I'm at level 20 now🤣. Cool video, didn't realise a lot of these things when playing🤟

For any sword user, simply blocking will negate impact damage and it gets insane when on titan with strongholds. the damage negation is also tied to your guard.

Really helpful !

Wowzer! What a great video Castle!

Great video think I scored 3 lol, the loadout at the end was very informative for me thank you

Been playing 2 months and this was really helpful!

Great video!!

The Vorpal thing was a semi recent change. It *used* to do a flat 15% damage amount but it's now 20% for Primary, 15% for Special & 10% for Heavy.

wow that is absolutely very informative even i have been playing the game for like 2 years now but i didnt know this much wow!!

1. Holding ‘w’ on a sparrow does nothing when you’re on the ground, but it *does* do something when you’re in the air. I’d encourage you to talk to a few speed runners/out of bounds explorers about the wacky physics involved in sparrows, it’s pretty illuminating. 2.DIM does so much more than allowing you to drag/drop gear between characters. It has a tab for tracking NPC inventory so you can see what they have without wasting time flying there manually, it has a section that tracks your collections so you can figure out which bones/eggs/penguin/action figures you’ve still got to go find. It was the first to have a feature to build/save loadouts you can swap between, and unlike the one added in-game recently the DIM version allows you to share your loadout with someone else and allows them to equip the same loadout. DIM is such an incredibly useful tool. (Ah, you cover that in one of the Ludicrous section tips. Bravo 👏) 3. Cabal threshers can also be blinded by any weapon blinding effect so grenade launchers with disorienting grenades also work. Not only the ships, but Hive Shriekers are similarly interrupted. Incredibly useful in high level content. 4.The confusion around the Vorpal Weapon perk probably stems from that Vorpal did originally give a flat bonus, it was changed a little while back to different values by ammo type because Bungie wanted to make it more appealing since it was falling behind the new perks they were introducing. There’s an entire TWID/TWAB article that featured how they adjusted certain perks. 5.Ambitious Assassin also will not reactivate until all the additional rounds added have been used, which is why it’s so attractive on heavy hitting weapons like grenade launchers since it’s easy to get multikills with one shot and you’re reloading those often, but not as much utilized on weapons like SMGs with little impact and similarly small magazine sizes. 6. I realized after watching this video that I have put entirely too much time/effort into this game and should probably go for a walk outside 😅 Thanks Castle Content, really enjoyed the video 💙

Damn i subscribed awesome video

Adding onto the finisher one. Some finishers have set element damage types, some do kinetic. Most will follow whatever subclass you have equipped.

The ghost swap for eager edge is awesome ima be using that more often now

Definitely didn’t know about the armor piercing rounds allowing you to shoot through teammates

This is absolutely nuts. I'm a year 1 plebe, and I think I only knew about 15% of this. *SAVED*

this vieo is cwazy useful! i went from brave 2 to fabled 3 in vanguard!

Knew everything, but the ship shader interaction. I have not changed my ship since I got the wisper of the worm ship. Some great tips, but "ludicrous" for some buildcrafting or dim usage seems a bit exaggerated. Still a great video. Some useful suggestions for a 2nd part: - Interaction between Boots of the Assembler + Lumina & Necrotic Grip with Osteo & Thron - Snap Skating (for pvp) - Stasis crystal do shatter damage based on the creation source (eg. grenade damage) - Checking vendors like Xur in Dim - Kinetic weapons does more damage than stasis and strand weapons - Rocket launcher frame damage (not useful, but fun): - dance party key - reroll masterwork on old weapons - set light level stuff like deep dive are not affected by sunsetting, so you can still bring sunset stuff with no issues - some sunset weapons have elements which they cant get anymore

Super helpful. Wow. Nice.

The fact I’ve been playing destiny since dark below and didn’t realize the square / triangle changes it it’s a minor / a major is crazy

Great vid

Powerful attraction also picks up notes in GoS and the tributes in PsiOps::Moon

The impact casing one is such a relief. If you missed it: increases only the impact damage by 10%, resulting in an overall 2% total damage increase. Now I'm not stressing about getting it on my envious BnS Cold Comfort (if it ever actually drops).

44: Cerberus being the notable exception as it does *increasing* damage at mid range, then drops off at long range 46: That explains why I have a 31 Resilience on my Geomags. I didn't think any stat went above 30 and it threw me off.

For ammo finder mods, its something like 5% progress for exotic primary, 1.3% for special and like 1% for heavy. Keep in mind only weapon kills progress the ammo finder meter to 100%. 1/2/3 ammo finder mods gives you 33%/66%/100% of a normal heavy drop

7:24 the combination blow melee on hunter works the same, but you need to get 1 kill with the melee and then you can make orb infinitely while the perk is on

the last bit about minor major and boss you should have mentioned that Vorpal weapon DOES boost damage to champions despite them being majors. So the best passive damage boost to champs you can get is major spec and vorpal weapon.

I lost track a little bit (side effect of not writing things down lol oops) but I got somewhere around 49-50 with bonus points! Props for having more than one thing I didn't know! Shame on me for most of them being like before the halfway mark T_T

Honestly I knew everything except the gambit mote pick with class ability. Kind of shocked the only thing I didn't know was related to gambit LOL.

Got all except the gambit one and the ship one, very proud of myself.

Idk if you mentioned it in an early video, I haven’t seen them all but there is a sword of crota combo (or any hive sword) light light heavy. Not only it does more damge than heavy heavy heavy. It also uses less ammo. Try it yourself in the crota raid or in the moon in the wave activity lol I forgot the name. It has its own animation as well.

Got all of these right except for the ship shader one since I never change my shaders while in a group. Surprised you didn't mention as a bonus question that targets affected by Witherhoard are considered Taken enemies (which lets Malfeasance do more damage to them).

Pushing forward on the joy stick gives you slightly better turning and handling on your sparrow.

3:54 this Radiant effect can be frustrating if you're not used to it, so start swapping to your heavy weapon to avoid using a gun that's already benefiting from another mod like Overload or Unstop. Get Radiant, use Power weapon, melt champ.

I haven't watched all the way through but you can also blind threshers with disorienting grenade launchers

7:30 it also does if you have roaring flames and killing with your melee

I got about 53 of them right. 1 thing I didnt know was the Powerful Attraction mod. Now THAT is a game changer! WOW!

Thanks, I played D1 and dropped D2 warly but nack now with wife and this helps.

For the offensive bulwark one, it also works for roaring flames, so instead of accidentally throwing your hammer off a cliff at x1 roaring flames cuz uncharged melee instead

AL-GO-RI-TH-Mmmmmm Great content!

Oh shit lmao. I didn't know the hold thing and i been playin since release lmao

Legend of acrius note is fun 🤣

love the vid nice nice

Arc souls will also shoot oracles and other similar objects and if it breaks it out of order it wipes you. Ally AI NPC will shoot your stasis crystals.

Being under tier 3 on any stat gives you a penalty to your cooldown, so a jump from 2 to 3 is going from 90% to 100% original cooldown, and everything after tier 3 is a bonus

Mijago and his D2 armor picker ... absolute legend!

What about weapon surge mods? Running triple weapon surge mod ne good? Is there a graph on this? Awesome video btw 😆👍

Things may have changed, but at one point, about a year ago, handling also reduced flinch. There was a few videos which compared the same gun with different handling stats and it did effect the amount of flinch when shot.

Could you make a class related type quiz video ?

3:35 And Taken Acolyte bubbles.

@1:52 - I know that cat was tilted!

ammo brick dropped by warlock's exotic for trace rifle is most shining effects

2:19 Holding the joystick forward does nothing speed wise, but when the stick is pressed towards the edge it is much easier to do precise left/right adjustments. So it's doing at least something beneficial.

anti-barrier also shoots through knight shields that they put up after being damaged

I missed 6 overall which puts me squarely 1 point away from rank 11. Funnily enough that is exactly how my current guardian rank is because I don’t want to spend hours on a dungeon lol.

Holding forward on your sparrow will actually cause you to fly less far in a jump as opposed to just holding boost when jumping

moving forword on my controller makes my sparrow travel at a decent pace

Extra bonus point for 39 because arc buddy also targets moths

I didnt know about the quickswap on swords and the sparrow boost one. Tough i gained a bonus for knowing about prioritizing dex on lower handling weapons . Never noticed the ship shader one either So final score 48/50

well considering i had all right before ridiculous, io was level 11 before i got to the stuff that is hard. There is something i do want to point out to you. You forgot weapon perk Thresh gives you bonus super energy for kills. there is also the Big Ones mod that works on all major and boss spec enemies.

You can also dodge at the last second to prevent fall damage

Lucky me I just got onto pc gaming and already did the DIM homepage in steam lol. My friend however is barely past a new light so far.

37 also works for memento mori on ace of spades

The bomber one at the start, warlocks benefit from it the most with 25% gain at 2x and I think 15% at 1x the other classes get less from it compared to warlock

The sling / dexterety on sword does matter u can attack earlier in animation

Fucking insanely good video I’m late, but this is top tier thank you castle

i for one thought vorpal was a 15% damage buff on primaries, 10% on specials and 5% on heavy

1. I knew, for Hunter you can also hold down jump to jump higher 2. I knew 3. I knew, there was someone who got "i made this for you" from this 4. I knew 5. I knew 6. I knew 7. I knew 8. I knew 9.

I knew, I think it was the old version where you had to throw them all as quickly as possible 22. I knew, for the first 1-2 weeks or so of shadowkeep these where world drops, then it got changed 23. I knew 24. I knew, also works with a blinding GL ect, but didn't work before Lightfall if I remember correctly 25. I knew, but can't use it because console 26. I knew, also works on Arc Titan 27. I knew, Revision Zero sniper mode also gets +20% which is nice 28. I knew 29. I knew B3: I knew 30. I knew 31. I knew 32. I knew 33. I knew, I would like to use it on Titan, but console 34. I knew 35. I knew, in Beyond Light champion kills with stasis for aspect was annoying, with finisher it worked nicely 36. I knew 37. I knew 38. I knew B4: I knew 39. I knew, only with Catalyst 40. I knew 41. I knew 42. I knew 43. I knew 44. I knew 45. I knew B5: I knew 46. I knew 47. I knew 48. I knew 49. I knew 50. I knew didn't think I knew all 55 😅
