The release of Destiny 2’s Heresy Act III is just around the corner, set to introduce exciting new content in the concluding chapter of “The Final Shape.”In anticipation of this eagerly awaited addition, numerous rumors swirl regarding future developments within the game. In the meantime, players have a mere 48 hours to engage in various in-game activities and achieve objectives that will provide substantial benefits upon the arrival of the new Act.
Heresy Act III promises significant enhancements, including the introduction of five new Artifact perks and the final 50 tiers of the season pass. As with any new season or act, accumulating experience points (EXP) is crucial. This guide outlines optimal strategies for gearing up for Heresy Act III, helping you to maximize your EXP before the conclusion of Act II on April 1, 2025.
Preparation Guide for Destiny 2 Heresy Act III
1) Accumulate Seasonal Challenges
Destiny 2 consistently offers a wealth of Seasonal Challenges across its episodes. Even if you are a seasoned player, it’s likely that several challenges remain incomplete in your Quest tab. This section aims to assist both dedicated and casual players. Begin by accessing the “Seasonal Challenges”section under your Quest tab, and review the challenges from Week 1 up to the current week.
Your goal should be to complete these challenges without redeeming them just yet. By holding off on redemption until Act III releases, you can enjoy a surge in your season pass points, Artifact bonuses, and Artifact unlocks, thereby reaping greater rewards.
2) Collect Metastasized Essentia
Another important collectible in Destiny 2 is the Metastasized Essentia, which can be found scattered throughout The Nether. These distinct, dark spheres are characterized by their Taken texture and spike-like protrusions. Gathering a sufficient quantity of these collectibles allows players to trade for Essence of Desire, reissued weapons, and, crucially, Slab reputation points.
As Heresy Act III is expected to introduce additional ranks in the Ambition path, preserving a stash of Metastasized Essentia will be advantageous. Players can then deposit these items for free reputation points immediately following the Act’s launch.
Utilizing the Wombo Detector Ghost mod is highly recommended, as it helps to reveal the location of each Essentia from a distance, making them much easier to locate throughout The Nether.
Though the upcoming Act III is not projected to be a significant patch, the volume of tasks ahead is considerable, providing players with less than 48 hours to complete them before the new content unfolds.
