The Avalanche is not a top-tier machine gun by any stretch of the imagination. Its primary use in Destiny 2 ’s PvE content is dealing with a hoard of minor enemies and should not be a go-to weapon for dealing boss damage or taking out high value targets. However, for players who wish to collect the weapon and must have a god roll for it (either because they like the aesthetic or because they are collectors), they would do well to focus on the following pe

The Avalanche’s second PvP trait should be High-Caliber Rounds. Again, this trait increases the weapon’s range, combining with the SPO-57 Front scope to turn the machine gun into a hard-hitting designated marksman rifle. While this will not make the weapon as useful at long ranges as a sniper rifle, it will make it decent at medium ra

Of all the PS4 and Xbox One AAA titles, perhaps none is more infamous for its load times than Destiny 2 . Booting up the game is a chose on current-gen machines, and then comes loading into the planets and Tower. Considering you have to go to the Tower to collect bounties, missions and decrypt engrams, getting around Destiny 2 is a chore. While we await the proper PS5 version coming December 8, playing the game on PS5 via backwards compatibility actually isn’t so bad. Load times are dramatically lower than on PS4, making getting around less of a chore. It excites us to imagine what next-gen load times look like.

The primary perk on which Guardians should focus for the Avalanche’s Destiny 2 PvE god roll is Auto-Loading Holster. Upon emptying the weapon’s magazine, players can put the Avalanche away and use one of their other weapons to take out enemies while the machine gun is automatically reloaded over time. This allows fans to keep dishing out damage with their other firearms and not have any downtime going through a slow reload animation. Buffs can help reload speed, but reloading becomes unnecessary with Auto-Loading Hols

The Gatekeeper encounter begins in the final arena. Two teleporters are in the arena, one on the left side and one on the right. The right side teleporter leads to a jungle version of the arena, and the left teleporter leads to a desert arena version. One player needs to stand on each teleporter, keeping them active, while one player goes through the left portal and the right portal. Confluxes will need to be defended once more inside the port

Therefore, Guardians need some long-range capabilities while also being formidable at medium and close ranges. For this purpose, both PC and console players will want a Glacioclasm with Hammer-Forged Rifling. Smallbore becomes a bit irrelevant in PvP, as special ammo is not abundant. Players typically only start out with two rounds of energy weapon ammunition in PvP, acquiring more by defeating Guardians who still have special ammo and picking up what they drop, which is not much. Thus, stability is unnecessary, as players will not be volley firing. Range w

Next, High-Caliber Rounds or Extended Mag would be useful for PvE in Destiny 2 . The High-Caliber Rounds trait gives players more range with which to work, improving their damage from further away. However, being a machine gun, the Avalanche can be more useful at medium-to-close ranges, making the Extended Mag trait (which increases magazine size by 30 rounds) beneficial. Either trait is useful for the coveted PvE god r

This means Destiny 2 has an ever-changing meta-game, and players are always trying to find the build that gives them the best edge. There’s nothing wrong with this kind of system, as it still has plenty of allowance for skill and team tactics at its higher levels. Outside of the upper-tier though, Destiny 2 is still very much about sifting through a multitude of build options in order to find an Edge of Fate expansion. It’s a very different game compared to the likes of classic Halo.

Lastly, gamers will want High-Impact Reserves for the gun’s final perk. This roll is one of the most difficult to get for the Avalanche, but it is worth it once obtained. The High-Impact Reserves perk makes rounds at the end of the magazine deal more damage, which is crucial in PvP content. Given the low amount of heavy ammo available in the Crucible, players will almost always be at the end of their magazine with the Avalanche. Thus, High-Impact Reserves guarantees some brutal h

To acquire these weapons, players will need to head to the Lectern of Enchantment on the Moon and purchase a particular Essence for one Phantasmal Core. Specific Essences are required per weapon, and each of them has a specific objective to be completed (along with two other easier tasks). These objectives only need to be completed once, however, as each Essence of the same type purchased afterward will have the objective already marked as completed. Once these objectives are completed return to the Lectern of Enchantment to exchange the Essence for the appropriate wea

Next comes the ammunition, or magazine. Since Hammer-Forged Rifling or Smallbore increase range, for PvE, Guardians will want to maximize their damage output by having to reload less. For this purpose, something like Enhanced Battery is useful for Glacioclasm because it puts more rounds in the magazine. The result is players needing to reload less, and when they do, slotting a Fusion Rifle loader mod or two into their Guardians’ gauntlets can be help
