Update 1.2.3 is the next reasonably big step forward for Destiny 2, and it's set to drop on Tuesday the 17th July. The patch will add bounties to the game -- a system that longtime players may remember from the original Destiny.
Essentially bite-sized objectives, you'll be able to pick bounties up from vendors, although this time, they're going to cost you a chunk of glimmer to acquire. Apparently, this should make players stop and think about which bounties they actually want to take on.
Fortunately, bounties may actually end up being worth your time. Not only will completed bounties grant you experience and faction reputation, but Bungie is also promising "better rewards" for some of them. Oh, and you'll also be able to discover extra bounties during general exploration. All in all, it sounds like Bungie is still trying to give Guardians a good reason to continue coming back to the game. Hopefully this update helps.
We could all sit here and ask why bounties didn't make the cut in the sequel to begin with, but hey, at least the developer's adding something seemingly meaningful.

I haven't got Destiny 2, but I did play Destiny 1 for a while and bounties for me was one of the best things I enjoyed to keep playing.
I didn't know but am shocked they weren't in D2 from the start!
I guess they didn't add them from the start because, lets face it, they were pretty bloody rubbish and were supposed to have been bettered by the "adventures".
Still, good to see them return with a twist.
Nice that they are coming back but need a lot more then that to convince me to come back. I am surprised they haven't announced a complete edition yet with Game + DLC's plus Forsaken expansion.
Better rewards?
I find this game is throwing too many rewards in your face. I wonβt play it until forsaken, since no item in the game feels truly special somehow. So the grind is meaningless to me.
I'm probably going to really enjoy this game when I eventually pick up the final finalised edition for around a tenner in a sale.
@tatsumi I would encourage you to comeback and try it. The EP shotty and the exotic catalyst have made some weapons feel powerful.
After starting The Division I have no reason going back to Destiny. I think it's better in every way.
Yes love me some destiny 2 big fan
Bought this and the expansions for Β£22 last week and have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Regardless of how the game has been received by the diehard fans there's a lot to enjoy about it.
Too late, been playing Warframe for the last 3 months and having a blast, never knew f2p game can be so exciting. Maybe cause I grew up with grinding Diablo 2 π
