New Strike

Sunless Cell Strike will return to the Destiny community with Heresy's new Act. Initially a part of The Taken King expansion from the first game, it is only natural for this specific mission to return, with Dreadnaught being the current story's primary focus. However, there seem to be a few changes made to the Strike, as teased in the first week of Act II.

Sunless Cell's official return to Destiny is scheduled as a Nightfall Strike. Based on the Act II bug where the mission was temporarily available, it has been known that the final boss will be the new Subjugator from Heresy, replacing the Darkblade. The latter is now present within the Lightblade Strike.

Rite of the Nine

Rite of the Nine is expected to act like a mini-expansion in Heresy Act III, possibly bridging the gap between the current Act and Codename Apollo. Players can participate in more challenging versions of three specific Dungeons - Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher, and Ghosts of the Deep.

Each Dungeon will also have its exclusive weapons returned with new visuals, perk pools, and other tunings.

New unique PvP mode

Destiny 2 is finally bringing in a PvP battle where everyone can ride a mecha or a tank. Bungie is known for releasing a few of these unique takes on the Crucible game modes, such as Team Scorched, Sparrow Control, and Rift.

The game mode is called "Heavy Metal," allowing everyone to only use either a Fallen Brig mecha in one team, and a Cabal tank in the other.
