Destiny 2 Developer Insight Video Elaborates on the Creation of Strand
Bungie has given Destiny 2 players a unique behind-the-scenes look into how the studio created the brand-new Strand subclass through a Developer Insight video. The second Darkness-based elemental subclass to be introduced to Destiny 2, Strand is one of the prime features of Lightfall and is based on manipulating enemies and the environment to give players an edge.
Destiny 2 is a diverse game, and this is reflected in the unique flavors each of the elemental subclasses bring to the game through visual and audio cues and other minute details. Players can easily identify the Light subclass abilities at a glance or by hearing, as Solar abilities visibly burn away enemies and Arc abilities produce a distinctly audible crackle when disintegrating combatants. While the Light-based subclasses are much simpler and elemental in design and functionality, Darkness subclasses in Destiny 2 feature a substantial shift from the standard design pattern.
