Destiny 2: Lightfall is coming out very soon, and amidst all the excitement over its release, veteran Destiny players have suggested that the all-new Strand abilities may cause some confusion and resentment between players upon launch. Notably, the new green set of abilities is all about communicating interconnectedness, mobility, and synergy.

Destiny 2's thrilling arrival of the Witness marks one of the biggest, most notable events in franchise history, with the finale of the Light and Dark saga finally kicking off.
