Maxroll Destiny 2 Branch Update: Revenant

Revenant

Last Updated:October 7, 2024

Welcome Guardians, we at Maxroll are here to reveal our Branch's update for Destiny 2's second Episode: Revenant. This major release is shaking up the sandbox with major changes to many pieces of Exotic Armor and Weapons, as well as a Stasis themed Artifact. We're making sure that all of our Build Guides are getting updated to work with this new Artifact, and we've got plenty more done than just that:

Here's a word from the Maxroll Destiny 2 Branch Team Leader, Byrdman:

“Hey Guardians! The Maxroll Destiny 2 team and I are extremely stoked for Episode 2: Revenant just like all of you. This episode is an exciting time for builds with the new sandbox changes and adjustments to ones we currently have. Expect a few new Stasis builds to take advantage of the new artifact and exotics added in. In addition we’ll be getting godrolls for all the new weapons on the site plus working our way through previous seasons. This will give you an idea of what rolls to craft and attune for when running the new activities. Personally I just want to say thank you to everyone for their support with the launch of this new branch! The team and I have been working hard to get the best builds and resources your way to make Destiny 2 an easier time no matter what experience you have. Get excited for everything new on our end and see you star-side, Guardians!” - Byrdman

Build Guides

Maxroll is committed to updating every single Build Guide to feature Revenant's Seasonal Artifact, we expect this to be done shortly after the Episode's release. This is going to cause some minor Gear or Subclass-kit changes revolving around the Artifact for some Builds, increasing their effectiveness.

We're adding new Variants to some Builds, while others are getting completely overhauled. We felt that some of our offerings weren't working as well as we'd have liked, so we're correcting our mistakes and delivering you all a suite of significantly stronger Builds. We hope you'll enjoy them as much as we've enjoyed making them. More of these are to come!

All of the following Builds have already been updated or will be updated over the next few days, and we're also sharing a sneak peak into brand new Build Guides which you can expect to see over the next few weeks.

Getting Started & Resource Guide Updates

Destiny 2 is a highly complex game with many moving parts, it can be hard to really understand what's going on with any one of the game's many systems. With that in mind, it's important for us to make sure that our Getting Started and Resource Guides are helpful and easy to use. Some of them haven't been, and we've been working tirelessly to overhaul many of these Guides. Even more updates are to come later!

Overhauled Guides

  • Elemental Mechanics: Exhaustively rewritten to detail over 30 Elemental Buffs, Debuffs, and Pickups.

"Very well written as a primer for beginner-to-average players..." - MossyMax, community scientist.

  • Stats Guide: Truly learn about each of the game's 6 Stats and how you should build into them, whether you're a Hunter, Warlock, or Titan.
  • Class and Subclass Overview coming soon!
  • First Steps In Destiny 2 coming soon!

Back to hunting Vampire-Scorn!

We hope you take advantage of our Maxroll Destiny 2 Revenant Branch Update and enjoy the new Episode releasing on the 8th! We'll be monitoring the game and updating our builds as required for those all but guaranteed Patches and Hotfixes. Also, stay tuned for upcoming God Roll Guides - they're coming and we mean it this time! We wish you and your RNG well, Guardian!
