It won’t be long before the new Lightfall DLC launches in Destiny 2. The Guardians already know a great deal about what awaits them there. With the multitude of information and details, however, it is easy to lose track. MeinMMO therefore summarizes everything important for you in a compact way.
What awaits the Guardians in Destiny 2 starting February 28th? It’s the last exciting days before the new DLC “Lightfall”. Once there, the keepers of Destiny 2 will not only have to prevent their end, but also the apocalypse. So, as players embark on their journey to Neptune, some new things await them there.
However, other changes that are less obvious are also coming into play, such as adjustments to buildcrafting or engrams. That’s why we inform you in this article about everything that’s new in Destiny 2: Lightfall.

New campaign for the Light and Darkness saga
A new campaign for the current story of the light and darkness saga awaits in Lightfall as well. The Destiny 2 Guardians are currently nearing their end and the next apocalypse is about to break out.
What is the Lightfall campaign and Season 20 about? Calus has finally achieved his goal and looked into the void for the witness to hear him. Now he’s his new student, sort of an empowered henchman, and lets himself be delegated around.
He also flew to Neptune in his new ship on his behalf, because there seems to be something important there. For both the Witness and the Guardians.
This brings the Season of Resistance: But not only in Neomuna will there be a big battle. The Shadow Legion of Calus, his new troops, are also attacking the last city in Season 20 at the same time. And the Guardians must resist in the European Dead Zone.
The new subclass “Strand”
In Lightfall and thus in Season 20, the new subclass also starts. With the end of the universe approaching, it seems the Guardians are left with nothing but themselves and the new Strand damage type.
In this video, Bungie shows its Guardians what’s possible with Strang from Lightfall:

Earn strand fragments and aspects: In Lightfall and Season 20, there are additional Aspects and Fragments that Guardians can collect after the campaign ends. Activation will be much easier here than in the DLC “Beyond Light” with the last new subclass Stasis.
We have listed all new strand aspects and fragments for you here:

A new destination on Neptune
As already mentioned, in Lightfall and Season 20 the Guardians have to go to Neptune. There you can discover a futuristic city that hides a secret.
Bungie teased these Neomuna locations in advance in the ViDoc:

By the way, Neomuna has been around for hundreds of years. It branched off from Earth during the sinking, cutting off all communications. So the residents there have been living secretly and safely on Neptune for quite some time.
Between these skyscrapers, players can not only let off steam with Strang. Two of Neomuna’s protectors also await them there, to be given a hand in the technologically advanced city.
These NPCs are the Protectors of Neomuna and are known as Cloudwalkers or Curruli:
New Enemies
While changed by the Witness, Calus and his Shadow Legion still remain Cabal. So opponents that players in Destiny 2 know exactly what to do with.
The tormentors, on the other hand, are a bit meaner and their name seems to be program. You could already see her in action in a few clips of the Lightfall trailers and her scythe is quite impressive.
Lightfall weapons and gear from Season 20
In Destiny 2: Lightfall, the Guardians are challenged by a new force unparalleled in recorded history. So the big question is: how do you oppose such a force? Of course, futuristic weapons and new perks.
With Lightfall, Curruli weapons come into play:
One of these Curruli weapons has already been extensively tested by pre-orderers of Lightfall. The Quicksilver Rush Exotic 720 Auto Rifle. It has an integrated rocket launcher and can transform into a grenade launcher. In Season 20, the weapon will also receive a catalyst.
In addition to the “Quicksilver Storm” rifle, these exotics also await you:

This is the ritual weapon from Season 20: The glaive named “Ecliptic Cleaver” is associated with the Void element, comes from the Dreaming City and brings new perks. Including “Recharging Aegis” and “Destabilizing Missiles”.
Of course, Season of the Resistance will also have Legendary Weapons for you to play. They might even look familiar to some guardians, because Bungie took them from an old DLC. MeinMMO has already made the before and after comparison for you.
Guardians who paid close attention, like our Destiny writer Christos, were even able to spot a really popular D1 weapon in the Lightfall trailers:

This fashion is trending in Season 20: The chic armor from Season 20 and Lightfall should not go unmentioned. With them you can either equip yourself with ammunition to the teeth or you can simply dance a dignified flamenco. The matching emote for it “Flamenco Dance” is also coming in Season 20.
