Destiny: Rising is an upcoming free-to-play mobile title from NetEase under the Bungie umbrella. It blends high-intensity shooting with RPG and MMO features, unfolding in an alternate timeline set before the original Destiny saga. While it preserves the core gameplay loop, the combat system is where the most significant transformations are anticipated. Beyond the already announced dual-wielding and controller support, participants of this year's closed beta have uncovered even more. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of everything we currently know about combat in Destiny: Rising!
Your Lightbearers Are the Foundation of Victory
Combat in Destiny: Rising starts with the careful selection and development of your Lightbearers. Each hero fulfills a unique battlefield role—tank, damage dealer, or support. Instead of diluting your efforts across too many characters, concentrate on forging a potent core team of three to five. A well-leveled and properly equipped squad provides the versatility to handle everything from solo missions to demanding PvP battles with greater efficiency.
Excel in PvP Battles
PvP gameplay tests your quick reflexes and smart loadout strategy. Effective weapon combos, such as pairing SMGs or landing precise hand cannon shots, are key to success. Staying mobile and unpredictable makes you a harder target to hit. As you learn spawn locations and map layouts, you'll gain the upper hand to control engagements quickly.
