Destiny 2: Forsaken Pack serves as a content expansion for the free-to-play action-adventure first-person shooter Destiny 2 on PC. It centers on collecting and mastering Exotic weapons while tackling high-difficulty cooperative activities set in the Dreaming City.
Gameplay
Players engage in a looter shooter loop that emphasizes weapon acquisition and customization. The pack adds twenty Exotic weapons, including the Trinity Ghoul bow that unleashes lightning arcs against groups of enemies and the Ace of Spades hand cannon that applies burning effects to targets. These weapons integrate into existing loadouts for both ranged combat and close-quarters encounters. Forsaken Ciphers allow account-wide unlocks of three selected Exotics from the pack at the Tower's Exotic Archive, excluding raid and dungeon rewards. Progression involves repeated runs of activities to refine builds and obtain specific drops such as the Wish Ender Exotic bow from dungeon completion.
Game Modes
The expansion introduces two signature cooperative challenges. Shattered Throne functions as a three-player dungeon where teams navigate Taken-infested depths, confront Dûl Incaru the Eternal Return, and secure rewards including the Wish Ender bow. Last Wish operates as a six-player raid that requires coordinated mechanics to defeat Riven of a Thousand Voices and pursue the One Thousand Voices Exotic fusion rifle. These modes demand precise positioning, role assignment, and communication among participants.
Key Features and Mechanics
Core systems revolve around Exotic weapon mastery and activity-specific encounters. The pack supplies immediate access to select gear via ciphers while the dungeon and raid deliver unique boss fights and loot tables. No additional story campaigns or patrol zones from the original release remain available outside these focused activities.
Is It Worth Playing?
Steam user reviews for the Forsaken Pack rate it as Mixed. The content appeals primarily to players seeking the Shattered Throne dungeon and Last Wish raid along with their associated Exotic rewards. Those already invested in Destiny 2's cooperative endgame will find value in the additional challenges and weapon options. Newer players may prefer starting with the base game and current seasonal offerings before considering this older pack. Ongoing updates to Destiny 2 continue to support the included raid and dungeon activities.
