Is Destiny 2 Free to Play or Free to Try? Thank you for watching

[@PickleLife05]

Free to try, crazy space magic missions and fun content is locked behind a pay wall

[@KOFB_CREEPER]

I say free to try, they try to get you into the flow of the game as much as possible then once you're invested you’re free to buy the expansions

No its not free its boreing honestly

[@Loderyod]

@@KOFB_CREEPER it really is a free to try/start, not free to play, but because there is no "free to start" games on the market calling it like that would put them in a marketing disadvantage

[@Regexion]

I hate that they removed so much content from the game. I started playing at the very end of Witch Queen, so I can never experience those free expansions. The way seasons work is also annoying. Every past expansion is an incomplete product for new players because they already missed out on a substantial amount of content. Meanwhile in World of Warcraft you can play through every past expansion and they're free.

[@thelrproject257]

They need to make every expansion over 2 years old F2P honestly no need to charge for shit that’s barely relevant gameplay wise but important to the story like it will help populate all the older dead playlists they had like the strike style BL boss fights

The New Light Experience is the experience of all time.

[@awesomeguy9513]

I wonder if shadow keep should be made free and turned into the new light experience, it’s what 4 years old now. You start out on the cosmodrome make it to the tower then X NPC tells you there’s a disturbance on the moon go meet Eris, once you meet Eris the campaign starts and there could be new dialogue added to help explain the pyramid ships and the light vs dark conflict. Having a campaign would be good for new people it gives them a story to latch onto and follow to show/explain destiny’s light vs dark sage cause currently it can be very confusing story wise for new people.

[@Loderyod]

They really should make it free, not like it's bringing them much income right now 😂

Now that I see it all in one video I realize that is more than I expected, it's a lot of different type of content that can help you understand if you like the game and if you are willing to buy the dlc to access even more content. I know that from the perspective of a "veteran" this could seem a quite small content pool, but think with the mind of a new player that has never played d2, you have so much different content that you could get lost not knowing what to do

[@OhSolinuM]

after watching this video thats exactly what i was thinking. but is it all replayble free of cost? cause i dont mind that. i dont mind i have to replay the same thing over and over again if eventually the loot become way better.

[@giovy4963]

@@OhSolinuM yeah, everything can be played over and over to grind weapons with better perks and armour with higher stats. I bought every dlc and i still almost only play PVP and for that you don't have to buy any dlc. You also have 2 great raids that you can play over and over with your friends and if that doesn't sound so good seeing the total number of raids available just think that some of us played destiny 1 for years with only a total of 4 raids available (and i think that those 2 that have been remastered in destiny 2 are the best one, the is another one that players really like but for me those 2 are the best) Still, if you ever feels like you are getting bored in free destiny 2 the are some old dlcs that are now around 10/15€ and they both add a new raid, a new dungeon, a new planet and new activities on those planets

This was a great guide! As someone who is very new to the game (well, technically relatively new, since I've been playing for about a month and a half now already), this was a fantastic resource that I actually needed!

Now I know what all to explore, the dungeon, the blind well, Dares of Eternity and other little things. Thanks a lot! This was very helpful!

I really hope Bungie brings back past expansions including the Red War campaign. If Bungie is so worried about how much space it takes up in our consoles or PC, they should make them downloadable instead of all together, unless the player wishes to have all of them. It'd be a real shame if they don't bring it back after The Final Shape.

Nope; 2 raids, 1 dungeon, all of the rituals (which after 7 damn years I can’t fathom going into strikes), dares (but not full access in the treasure hold), a shitty new light campaign, and a fistful of campaign missions, oh also patrol zones but again boring as piss after like a week or two. Forsakens remaining content needs to be free, and 30th anniversary should’ve been free from the get go with a pack selling only the cosmetics.

Personally if you only have like 2-3 friends that you would play with regularly, I think that a good change for most people even solos would be to make more Dungeons f2p as time goes on. It's really sad when I'm hyped to show someone the game but we can't do all these really fun activities that instantly come to mind and it is a bit of a bummer. We used to at least have things like The Leviathan (old version) idk it just feels very hollow when I'm actually trying to figure out stuff to do with anyone that doesn't own the same expansions and seasons as me.

[@carsonhunt4642]

Exactly , basically just end up doing strikes on repeat, gets boring quick and doesn’t keep new players wanting to come back. Bungie could also quit being stingy and start reducing prices quicker for older dlc. Ever since cross play and digitalization of games , prices for games/dlc have shot through the roof even on decade old games unfortunately. Games that used to be $1-5 at GameStop now are back to $30-50 in ms store, and even old dlc that used to go on sale now gets sold for premium prices even when there’s no players left playing them to get matches etc

[@SaturNo_O017]

D2 with the campaigns is a 10/10 experience thats even better with friends, I just wish you didn't need PS plus/ Xbox gold to play it, aswell as adding a subscription service to get all dlc for a certain amount of time

[@arbington]

Actually not sure about PS Plus, but you don’t need Xbox Live Gold. Microsoft made it so any game which is free is totally free, you don’t have to pay for the subscription service to access the multiplayer. Good change, did it a year or so back. If Sony hasn’t done the same they need to get with the times, between this and their lack of support for cross-play and console modding I’ve found myself increasingly on Microsoft’s side and I never used to give a damn about the console wars. That said, even on Xbox you still have to buy an expansion or two if you actually want anything substantial to do in the game. My idea to fix that wouldn’t really be that hard. Already Bungie sometimes gives the community free access to expansion content for a month, usually before the next big release or before something gets vaulted. I think they just need to do that more often, it would be easy since they’re already infrequently doing it. Rather than maybe twice a year, just make it so one of the older expansions is always freely accessible for like a month and it just rotates which one.

[@Rosepetal-uo4yn]

​@arbington you can't do anything in dlc including current expansion .so you do need xbox gold to play anything current in the game

[@arbington]

Right but not to access the game itself. Without Gold, you can play Crucible, Dares, Gambit, and run public events on the few planets available to you. And the stupid New Light campaign. Not much, but not nothing either. You also don’t need Gold to play any of the expansions, you just have to buy the expansions themselves. But you don’t need Gold to play Destiny 2 at all.

[@arbington]

You probably ought to take that up with customer service then. They’ve had this policy since April, 2021. Free-to-play games don’t require Gold to access their multiplayer functionalities. Shouldn’t anyway. I just read they even added like fifty other games to the exemption list that aren’t even all free-to-play last month. It should’ve worked for you. That said, Destiny 2 itself can be really buggy sometimes especially when it comes to the licensing on the DLC. I know for example I’ve had to jump through hoops to get it to recognize content sharing when one DLC I own on another account on my Xbox suddenly won’t register on my main account. Bungie even claims the game doesn’t support content sharing so they don’t have to fix it, but it does, it just doesn’t always work right. I could easily see it being some other issue beyond just Microsoft and your Ultimate subscription. Unfortunately Destiny be like that sometimes.

[@Sweeper575]

This is important for new lights who want new weapons from the season when you do the free season activity where you save holiday you can get make a new charater do first mission in light fall you do the free activity if you do it again you still get the reward and it increase your reputation on war table for more loot so take advantage of this at the start of every season

[@Sweeper575]

I've played this game for, what, 3-4 years as a f2p player? I started when shadowkeep just dropped, but that's besides the point. 4 years of this game without paying a dime; it just goes to show how much Destiny has to offer. Granted, I did play on and off, but I kept coming back. There was always things to do, perhaps there was more back in the day like the whisper or the outbreak missions, but there's still plenty of content today as shown in the video. Even til today, after I've purchased some of the expansions, there are still so many things I haven't done. For those new lights out there, don't be mislead by the introduction quest. It sucks and it does a horrible job at showing people what this game has to offer, so stick with it for a little more past that and your time will be well compensated.

[@jackwellington9863]

Destiny 2 is advertised as a looter shooter first and foremost so I deffinitely think to get the full experience or at least a majority of it you need to buy the expansions since planet specific armors are locked behind bounty vendors who are then locked behind DLCs like beyond light, shadow keep and most recently lightfall. The same thing also applies to exotic weapons with some great choices like malfeasence (don't judge i'm ashamed as it is) or le monarque which have been vaulted because their exotic quests have been closed off for one reason or another being locked behind forsaken, a DLC which has been majorly vaulted already or Hawkmoon and DMT which by all means is basically like any other weapon we can get our hands on except with an exotic perk which is then locked behind beyond light. If destiny 2 still had the year 1 campaigns and activities like the red war and other stuff pre vault i'd say it would be great as a free to play game allowing enough marketing to show the highs and lows of the game and letting new players try enough so that they know what they're going to invest in because let's be honest no one's gonna dishout 60 dollars on an expansion or almost a 100 hundred dollars for seasonal content and DLC that's barely of a tripple A status unless it's your livelihood. But with how little content there is of destiny 2 for free to play players I think it would be better to go back to being a paid game with a 20-ish dollar game tag with destination vendors and vaulted exotics all unlocked pre-purchasing the DLC to get a better idea of what sort of DLC you're buying into. Also it could then decrease the price of the DLC's to where people wouldn't have to wonder if they have to sell an arm or wether it'd be worth it. Additionally every 2-3 years they can just let the oldest expansion be free to play for a set time like how most games have a time trial where you can try it out till the end of the timer and if you like it you can buy it.

As a f2p player since forsaken. The only thing you can do after finishing the tutroial stage are the following: - strikes -crucible except for trials -gambit -do your daily bounties to get seasonal exotic gun -legendary raids (vog and kings fall. back then you can access several raids but sadly they content vault them) -sometimes there are bugs that makes for free like dmt and hawkmoon for everyone. Just hope this thing happens again. - dares of eternity (back then they made 30th aniversary pact for free for epic games) But what sucks now is that you cannot get free weekly pinacel loot in the standard strike since some of them requires strand or stasis to use. unlike back then they also consider f2p by putting void solar or arc paired with stasis and strand

[@gengarghast]

Gonna be real, Gambit only having four maps is nice. It keeps things simple so you don't have to memorize too many map layouts, and besides- You're not fighting against other players for like 80% of the time, so most of the time the simple locations help when you're just picking off grunts to get motes. If you couldn't tell, I'm the one guy who still plays Gambit regularly.

[@Nazasu]

That's honestly quite a lot of stuff f2p players can do. I think it'd be more rewarding for f2p is Bungie made Prophecy and one of the legacy raids a guaranteed pinnacle activity each week so they could get more higher stat gear. Though IIRC the nightfall wont let a f2p player select it for that week if its a strike they don't own the expansion for, which is a bummer. From what I've gathered and experienced, it's pretty hard for a f2p player to get a solid group together to run F2P only content. If only they had story content that was f2p and totally didn't just vault it... That'd never happen... Right? Anyways, great video! Was a fun and educational watch.

I returned recently to Destiny 2. I payed for the game on release, didn't even know it ever went FTP until recently returning. Frankly, I am super pissed about it. All of my gear I worked for last time I played (besides exotics) is useless, I can't upgrade it to the current light level. 3 of my favorite outfits and all of the God rolls I had from back in the day are gone, and some of that stuff is completely useless to get back now. I can't play the original Red War campaign and it's not like I was refunded or given anything on my account for the money I spent on release. I am left in the exact same place as a free to play gamer despite that I've put money into the game. The one thing I hated about Destiny 1 and 2 is how much of a money grab they are from Bungie, and they've lost a lot of my respect for it, but now I'm really against supporting their marketing tactics. Hell, as much fun as I'm having in the PvP again, I'm not even sure I want to play the game at all.

[@DimetridongamesReborn]

okay most of these things arent actually free on playstation

[@lexmen1089]

If you were lucky to get the 30th Anniversary pack that Bungo gave away when Destiny 2 went available to Epic Games users. You got yourself sorted out in alot of content, since in lightfall alot of good weapons are world drops (f2p), or became available from past seasons. (not really sure of that one, prob DMT and Hawkmoon are locked to Beyond Light owners.)

[@nick5197]

well if you're on ps4, basically nothing as you have to pay for seasons, expansions, gambit/vanguard/crucible/do free raids/activities with other players, and that leaves you with basically nothing at all to do.

[@foist101]

Shadowkeep was such an incredible time to invite friends to play the game for free,

[@TheBucketDealer]

Having every big event no longer locked behind paywalls is so relieving to me. Im gonna give D2 F2P Another shot now that ive watched an hour's worth of youtube to understand whats going on.

[@cbgray]

I’m glad to have you playing I posted a free to play video of all the exotics today too!

[@danielsteel8551]

The free to play isn’t bad but if you competitive you would probably by it because of Trials

[@snipeyboi5934]

I really feel that what is needed for the new light experience is some sort of Campaign to help guide the player. The campaign, be it Shadow Keep made free (Lets be honest it's like four years old now I feel they could make it free and not lose much) or if they can, even bring back the Red War and bump up it's difficulty a bit and make some changes to help create a new experience. A Campaign is a perfect way to teach new players the ropes, mechanics and story if done well. It also has the benefit of levelling up the player so they can later do the harder content like Raids and Dungeons. Lastly I feel while the ability to play the first mission of all the current campaigns is good, but it isn't able to show the new player what it's like to experience a full Bungie campaign, it currently doesn't show the new player what they can be like, and if they are worth their time and money.

[@andrewpineappl4599]

Honestly I felt that Lightfall's first mission is really good giving players a taste of what is in the campaign. It shows a "new" enemy faction, it shows the new enemy type tormenters, and it even makes you use strand for a little bit.

[@jabbathehutt2774]

I miss red war.

[@alexandervowles3518]

Idk why they don't just have selectable downloads for past content...

[@jerbyjerboa]

i loved the red war campaign

[@Wall_Candy]

As much as the playlists activities are lacking in fresh and engaging updates/changes, this is alot of content for someone to do and try out a game. I can’t think of any other game with this much stuff aside from warfram

[@miraboreas5103]

Final fantasy 14

[@thequestbro]

Wrath of the Machine Reprise is coming, I feel it in my plums.

[@5hane9ro]

I'd say it's possible to have a good time as a free player but bungie made it difficult. Easiest thing they could do is make shadowkeep free so free players have an actual chunk of content to get them hooked

[@LordLemoncake]

I played Desteny 2 free to play for about a year, almost one and a half year ago, on my super old pc with win 7, then an update came and i could not run the game anymore until yesterday, when i finally bought a new pc and reinstalled the game again. When i played the game i explored all my options as a free to play player, i knew what is the content i cant play, but i played the game anyway because this game managed to build such a good gunplay that i could not get bored of trying out different guns and i love the lore and the sci fi/ horror environment. Maybe this time i will spend some money on the game, but if i dont, i know i will still enjoy the time i spend shooting aliens in it and have fun with the community events. Free to play is enjoyable if you focus on achievable goals instead of what you cant do in the game.

[@sneakyweazel4566]

Also to add, a week before The Final Shape comes out you will be able to play Lightfall for free (if the trend continues)

[@jakkufurosto]

basically: - If you're not a PS gamer: Gambit, crucible, strike, nightfall, some raids, dares of eternity (extremely recommended), and destination activities - If you're a PS gamer: everything above except for gambit, crucible, strikes and nightfall

[@Quantum-0-9]

As a ps4 player, none of these are free for me, besides the game itself and lightfalls first mission, but all the others cost money, this is why im getting a PC

[@doctorpanther360]

Btw on PlayStation u can’t do any crucible or gambit cuz it requires PlayStation plus and you can only do onslaught and the patrols on the other planets u can do quests and stuff but a lot of them u can’t do without PlayStation plus AND you can’t be in a fireteam without PlayStation plus

[@davidlz830]

Yea playstation sucks ass, I found out the hard way

[@doctorpanther360]

@@davidlz830 they only suck if they own the game I’ve been thinking of going to pc which i habe a question when it comes to toning s like steam is there like a subscription that you gotta pay for or is steam free to use ( Sirry if it’s a dumb question)

[@rodrigogomes8306]

If ur on ps4 and don't have Playstation plus u cant play strikes, crucible, gambit nor battlegrounds. Only dares of eternity, blindwell on the dreaming city and altairs of sorrow

[@autotec-20]

I zoned out and started crying when he mentioned the farm. I miss the original farm.

[@mackenziewood1155]

Iv played destiny 2 for free for years now n it Really boring now iv done everything it pay to win

[@mackenziewood1155]

All so makes me not wanna play as ever good weapon u need dlc or something it's annoying just wish I could do more

[@kombat4790]

Yeah it’s basically pay to play

[@brycegibson6798]

That fit at the beginning was tuff bro

[@morganpriest7726]

A more comprehensive list of the FTP content: 1. Vault of glass and kings fall, arguably amoung the best in the game. 2. The prophecy dungeon, not a whole lot of good loot here bits it’s pretty fun. 3. Crafting, mostly world drop stuff 4. Legend/master lost sectors 5. The first mission in the witch queen, shadow keep, beyond light, and lightfall campaigns 6. All of the crucible 7. Basic access to all current locations 8. Vanguard ops playlist and (if it’s not a dlc strike that week) nightfalls and grandmasters 9. Gambit, lmao 10. Any world drop exotic This is all of the important stuff I can think of.

[@cbgray]

update this to say not trials for crucible as thats the most important one. As well as master versions of the raids and definitely add xur. Outside of that I'd say pretty accurate.

[@FauxReal.]

Destiny 2 has one of the New player experiences ever made

[@IstyManame]

I hate that i can't play the entire storyline even if i pay for every DLC available

[@dafulegend5905]

I’ll make a list. Assuming you take advantage of everything at your disposal to get free content… 1. New Light Quest 2. Open World 3. Strikes Playlist 4. Gambit Playlist 5. Crucible Playlist 6. (Occasionally) Nightfall Playlist 7. Dares of Eternity 8. Adept/Regular/Master Lost Sectors 9. First mission of paid DLCs (I think) 10. Prophecy Dungeon 11. Vault of Glass (Including Master version) 12. Kings Fall (Including Master version) If Epic games: 10. Grasp of Avarice Dungeon That should be a good 100+ hours of content for free. To be honest, doing all of these will give you a good enough taste of Destiny, and whether or not you want to buy it. The main issue for me is that the new light quest is reaaallly not great.

[@daavvidd]

I’ve been f2p since beyond light and it’s pretty good tbh

[@y4ssir118]

Can you make video what shuld ibuy first from the add on

[@Mikoto_Suou]

I think I would've preferred any other map that got taken from us other then citadel. The way that map plays is so bad and I can't believe that's the one map they picked to bring back

[@yahsoonstanert7041]

i think the free stuff is worth it cause you still gota do some grinding but also cause the games not really all about the event, its also about the community.

[@beetle4799]

This game seems so damn empty without money or guidance The content here is fairly vast and just needs to be pointed out for people to do. I've seen so many new people give up since they find there's not much to do because the fun is all behind a pay wall or just be shrouded by other things.

[@frostbitefade424]

I agree, i put in 50 hours into it as a completely free player, and i feel like i have nothing to do as everything is locked behind a paywall

[@firstarmyspider]

thank you so much. i couldn't remember at all what was free or not after spending money and doing everything.

[@Foorevermore]

TLDR basically you get access to all the content no one does more than once a week. Play something else and get rewarded for your time. Because after you have those rewards, you have nothing more to test the capabilities of any builds you aquire.

[@arturodaviddiaz4224]

Man... I can't help but feel this is Destiny 1 2.0: Now with more content that you can and can't access to! I'm having deja vu of buying all the dlc again just to enjoy the game only to be dead/unsupported in 10 months... It really doesn't call me to come back anymore...

[@chumi269]

I have been a f2p player for like 6 months, and im gonna be honest, i think i did 10% of the activities in this video. omg.

[@2Frostyyy]

Can you reach Soft cap and hard cap power as a F2P player?

[@yourmothersson69]

This video has been amazing, as the only thing ive bout is the season pass, so thanks bro!

[@PureCapsaicin]

Apparently the entire legendary collection that I spent my hard earned money on, should’ve been free from the beginning if they ever planned to do this shit I am irritated as fuck. Not to mention if I want to switch platforms I have to buy it all again

[@raymondshoults1340]

This game is fun but when u don't know what the hell your doing cause every time i go to do a main mission I get hit with a pay-me-first screen and now that I've seen every mission do that I've realized it's a buy to win game.

[@w0wdonger896]

Correction, you can't get more loadouts through ranks anymore because the triumph got moved to rank 8

[@cbgray]

It was recorded before unfortunately

[@Raiqun1623]

Destiny 1 literally made me fail school... I played d1 when i was supposed to be doing work..

[@invertcolors725]

I have all the DLC but somehow you still got me to watch the whole video 💀

[@kaizen_555]

actually a good amount to play as for free to play pretty much most of the cool looking armor are obtainable too for f2p
