In addition, Bungie provides the game with regular new content, the most recent being Destiny 2's Lightfall expansion, which launched in February.

Destiny 2 player and Reddit user Xynopit recently discovered a very useful trick involving the Lumina hand cannon and Destiny 2's Threadrunner Hunter's Strand rope dart ability. They recorded themselves pulling it off and uploaded the clip to the Destiny 2 Subreddit under the title «The Lumina Skate.

The dart latches onto the bullet, which drags the player through the air at high speed. Bungie presumably did not intend for players to be able to do this, but it seems quite useful nonetheless. The Destiny 2 player explained precisely how they pulled it off further down the thread, saying that players need to stand still, fire a Noble Round
