The hand gestures with Warlock are legitimately some of the coolest animations I've ever seen on Warlock.

@Torun Smok they are called intermissions much more annoying

Everyone talking about Warlock but can we appreciate the Gracefulness of the Hunter here Float like a butterfly..Sting like a beetle..

just like the solar flick? you'll get bored in a month trust

And the sfx makes it better

Loving all the animations for the abilities

Ótimo demais

Nice

Nice...

The new supers for some reason remind me of the Fates of Greek mythology. Warlock- Clotho- The Weaver- The Spindle- Weaves the multiple threads of fate into the desired shape of a persons choices and actions Hunter- Lachesis- The Allotter- The Measuring Rod- Measures the length of each single thread of fate to determine a persons destiny Titan- Atropos- The Inevitable- The Shears- Cuts each and every thread of fate, ending that thread permanently

You’re right that’s why they refer to as a River of souls. Like the River Styx

Oh if only.

Bro thinking too hard

What an amazing observation and comparison! Well done.

@David Phillips incest galore and Zeus with his infinite sex drive is the best way to oversimplify it

Finally in the Crucible I can say out loud, "This must be the work of an enemy Strand!"

Excellent use of the violin to add to the strand-filled atmosphere. I hope this carries through to the expansion's soundtrack!

ok

ok

@Jacob Some people just lie and don't like Bungie pulling out their "precious" gear, the latest content Bungie pulled out of the game, it returned a lot of it with IMPROVEMENTS, Mars was an optimization JOKE and broke the game, it came back better and better done, that's life.

I'm only Ben with destiny 2 for 1 years I'm super hyped but I heard lot of people saying they are putting 7 years of old content back to Rasputin and making people like him Bungie dose have past of always taking years just to reveal a character that has Ben teased for years like zevo arith

Being told Strand is a Darkness subclass, i get the impression that unlike Stasis, which felt more "evil" and we were fighting fire with fire using it, Strand seems more "good". We're told that we're manipulating the weave of the universe or something to that phrasing, and as such, we're simply using the opposite side of the coin rather than relying on a more malevolent force to do battle. THIS would be the type of Darkness Ikora and Zavala would be more inclined to allow guardians to use.

@Domagoj Galekovic remember when we thought the second darkness subclass would be poison or soulfire? then bungie pulls stand out of their ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I wouldn’t say its resonance energy, maybe antimatter, because its supposed to be the opposite of solar light,

@Connor Tobin Honestly, I love your interpretation. It's a LOT more interesting than most others I've seen.

@Connor Tobin Great analysis. If we’re comparing Light subclasses to Darkness subclasses one-to-one, I feel like: Arc is to Strand Void is to Stasis Solar is to ??? The way you described them make them line up in that way quite nicely. And even though from a gameplay standpoint alone Arc is considered the weakest, I have a feeling Strand will be quite different. We just need to wait and see how the new supers take on bosses. Because right now it seems that Strand like Arc will be phenomenal at add clear, but it’s unknown if it will challenge other Light supers for boss DPS.

@Domagoj Galekovic You could take the colors of the ligh subclass and invert them. You will get the colors of the two darkness subclass that we have

@Lyg Knowing Bungie, it's not reading too much into it. Catch up on some lore, see how deep it goes actually.

Finally, the second Strand-type game

@The Trashman ah ty

@Weird And Creepy Spider-man?

@Luis Mario omg 😭😂

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yoooooooo. YOOOOOOOOOOOO

It makes sense that Osiris, the person who waves his hands around more than he talks, is the one to guide us through our journey with Strand. He probably accidentally discovered it when getting into an argument with Ikora

I think he might be more onnected to the darkness now that he drank Nearecs remains

@handsome Jack ahhh zavala just jealous

That would make sense in way but still see commander Zavel getting pissed with the guardians using a new darkness subclass

Bot

Ok, I must admit, at first I was leaning into going Berserker, mainly because a friend of mine is already doing Warlock, but now the thought of having a bunch of strand minions is starting to lure me into being a Broodweaver

You mean you don't want to play Fists of Havoc 4.0?

@ItsInstinct _ so useless in boss fights? lmfao

@Jandro Titan always gets screwed, I only have a Titan.

Titan got screwed.

They really went in with the warlock hard motions, that’s dope. Now I’m more interested than ever where the power originates from, like if it’s another darkness power or something new all together 🔥

They've explained it's both already though. It's a lower that does come the darkness (and seems to be the parallel to void as stasis is that to solar) but it's all new and we are the first ones to discover and use it

The hand motions for warlock I love them so much I wish we can get a lot of spell weaving stuff like that

I hope we unlock strand early on in the campaign. Instead of the suped up stasis points in beyond light (while cool it was too short considering each boss was low health each time) we get strand at the start and it slowly gets bigger as we explore and complete the campaign. That way we can try the subclass and remake it more powerful as we go on. Very excited for this trailer

This comment didnt age Well, after playing the campaign

that's exactly what devs said

I am loving all the animations for the abilities. Those Warlock hands look simply incredible! And that Hunter super, as a Hunter main, I'm thrilled!! Titan looks so good too. I can't wait to test everything out. I think the soundtrack gives even more of the "dancer" vibe to the abilities in the trailer!

It's cool and all to have yet another lunge and punch ability for titans, but I think I'd trade it for some sort of stomp or slam that ensnares or SOMETHING new. I hope there's something that makes this better/different than the current stasis titan because those really need some love.

@El Phantasmogoro dude what are you talking about Bungie literally has an article talking about the aspect with good detail. One aspect is just kepris horn that’s it and the other aspects just like bastion from void but instead of casting your barricade to get damage reduction your destroy a tangle. Like wdym we I’m making assumptions they’ve literally told us.

@Nicholas Evans you're so underwhelmed by something you've never really seen and totally haven't used. Again: Destiny fans hate Destiny and it's insane.

@El Phantasmogoro I mean I’d rather not just get an underwhelming exotic and bastion as aspects.

@Chris T. lol ok dude.

@Tetra in what ways?

Super excited to see what the community is able to pull off with the grappling hook

I have Yondu-type vibes with the seeking projectiles. So hyped to try this out and see what builds I can make with the new buildcrafting changes

The Hunters with the rope darts are going to be so fun to use, the animation look dope as hell

I honestly don't think I've EVER been so excited for a new dlc. This needs to hurry up, cause I'm sure as hell ready!!!

Warlocks are so freaking cool man. Those animations alone make it worth playing the class

Warlock master race

It’s a small detail, but the sound team in this game is unmatched even for trailers. In a showcase of the thread-like subclass, the music is almost entirely string instruments.

Can anyone please tell me if this background music is out or not..?

The art in general is top notch. No matter your opinion on the game as a whole, you gotta give props to the artists working at bungie.

oh damn you're right. That's pretty cool

Yeah okay...after a week of the seasonal activity, you'll be listening to a podcast just to get through the RNG grind for drops.

@MayorOfBlugSnax Indeed was not lost on me, very nicely done!

I really like Warlock's reality bending gesture, and I also like that Hunter's melee can be reused like Titan Hammer

Oh this is gonna be fun as hell, can't wait to use these new powers!

Definitely hype, but man we need a new enemy type

I really like Warlock's reality bending hand gestures, I also like Hunter's melee being reusable like a Titan hammer

@hei vain actually, it kind of does, if we talk about the composition of a spear, it really is a knife on a stick (a Kunai could be made into a spear from what I've read), if you were to take or in this case break the stick all you'd be left with is the short blade, which would practically be a knife

@F0XHunter Lol of course it has sharp edges, that doesn't make it a knife. The blade of a spear has sharp edges but breaking the shaft doesn't suddenly make it a knife.

@hei vain maybe it is, however look at 1:25-1:26, looks like the "dart" has sharp edges, it could definitely be classified as a knife

@F0XHunter It is literally the same weapon. Just pause the trailer at around 50 seconds, you can see the aforementioned lack of a ringed pommel and the rope following the dart. The melee is the same rope dart as the super.

@hei vain that's the super, the throwable looks like a kunai though, and also, although its primary function wasn't that of a dart it was capable of being used like one. Also look at 1:25-1:26, looks like the "dart" has sharp edges, it could definitely be classified as a knife

I like the way the abilities were activated with the gestures and stuff.

I'm glad I finally get to play a summoner. Really looking forward to spawning threadlings with finishers while running felwinter's helm to give them extra damage

As a Warlock-Hunter dual main, I was ready to start Lightfall with my Hunter because of how much I've liked the class in 3.0... And then they had to give the Warlcok those crazy and stylish hand movements.

I like the strand titan, barricades launching strand out is cool. I know the complaint is that its “samey” but imagine they made a strand bubble class but the you can fire through the bubble and it turns your bullets and projectiles into tracking strand. And to stop it being too op enemy’s can shoot through the bubble at you aswell but at massively reduced damage.

Well that was... something. Not a lot shown here we didn't already know but I'm still hesitant about Titan super, just looks like every other "Titan smash with fist brrrr" except green. Hopefully it feels better to use and there's more to it!

There almost certainly isn’t.

@AJAX Don Queso precisely why some of these newbies dont understand that at high end content, you are encouraged to stay away from danger. not running in a straight line to get deleted by 5 ads. thats also the reason why thundercrash was situational. it cannot be used in most oryx encounter for example. as it requires you to stand far away amd be on an aura.

@Steffano Cornejo lazy? i probably have more play hours than you. been playing since d1 beta. the annoying thing with d2 seasonal stuff was its a meaningless chase. making builds that got nerfed the very next season. farming armors and then negated the very next season. farming guns, the same thing. look me up on D2 with the same as my youtube username. i can assure you im not new. problem was simply i cant take the bs that was oh titans have inertia override to make pushes in pvp. lets delete that from the game. oh titans are actually using melting point in raids as a weaken before dps. nope vant have that. lets delete that from the game. and you wonder why people like me left the game. bungie is purposely funneling titans to be the basic of basic playstyle of "herp di derp i wanna punch things ahahahah". do that in a GM and see what happens.

My thoughts exactly. Don't get me wrong, punching things is an ingtegral part of being a titan, and I love it. But it makes a lot of content a lot harder when Bungie encourages you to stay well away from bosses, mini-bosses, and yellow bars. Everything kills you quickly from close up, and everything gets a stomp/pushback mechanic

I am blown away by this! Looks in freaking sane. Massive thumbs up!

Okay. This trailer had me giggling. At first I was a bit underwhelmed with Hunters (Hunter main on PC), but after seeing it, I feel like it’s gonna be more OP than the other 2. Crap ton of enemies being affected in a shorter time frame. BUT WARLOCKS! OMG! Those creatures swimming in the ground. I was like “YOOOOOO!” I can’t wait for Lightfall now.

The little lightfall motif at the end is so good

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Me likey, me likey, very much. Loving the look and apparent effectiveness of Strand, however it's going to difficult to step away from my love of Void, but given it's going to be needed to traverse Neomuna, or at the very least be required for access to certain areas, I will probably embrace it and explore Strands full potential.

I would love a defined "melee" weapon aside from just big spike fist. We already have FISTS of Havoc, Sentinal (Melee but with shield, so it passes) and Freeze Punch. I really loved throwing the shield on Void subclass, or Throwing hammers in Solar. Maybe just some sort of defined weapon for strand, would just make the subclass feel better to play and have more character to it like the Hunter or Warlock subclass does. Even if it was dual swords I think that would give a good feeling. Something to give this subclass an identity aside from Green. Just as an example, we look at hunter, who has Gun, Bow, Staff, Daggers, Scythe and now a grapple glaive thing. Why is Titan Melee, Shield, Hammer, Melee, and now again Melee? Maybe a polearm? Or how about some World of Warcraft Warglaive style weapons? Give the Melee Class an IDENTITY for each melee spec, instead of just changing the colors :)

Those strand animation looks excellent and wonderful in first person, we need more of this personal power display.

Excited for this new release. Finally coming back to this game after a few years. Really wish I could play this on my STEAM DECK though!

I swear it is really hard to stop playing this. It's been ten years! "Eye's up, Guardian!"

Ah love the hunter bolos, a perfect weapon to bring into the game. Hopefully it slows or cripples movement speed like the real life weapon.

Holy crap did you see that part where the titan punched things!? They are really pushing the boundary on the titan archetype with Strand, and I'm totally here for it. So excited to see how well it does is endgame encounters, especially when you have to hold a plate and the boss is 50+ meters away! Can't wait.

I feel the same way

@Limitable Space exactly thank you!!

Titan also throw a Bolo at the enemy, melee ability?

Why are people complaining about bersker think of the positives @Raikoh067

Currently the strongest class in the game You have barely a right to complain when your toolkit is already the strongest

I like that the music in this trailer is mostly string instruments. And with Strand’s green color mixed with the music, it reminds me of the Continental shootout from John Wick 3

@Clouds I hope they have more strings for the official ost

@Clouds Ah, a person of culture

@Tadej Lapuh I think this is Bungie’s own soundtrack. John Wick scene was Four Seasons: Winter by Vivaldi

Anyone know the music for this?

i was thinking of the continental shootout too lol

I'm almost tempted to pick up Warlock and Hunter for this, these subclasses look dope but I'm not sure if I can be arsed to grind out two more characters.

My favorite part of Strand is the death physics... the enemies die like they are being wound up onto a spool of threads.

I'll be honest, the Berserker Titan does look cool, but I'm still rather iffy on it. It's looking like it's going to be like the Behemoth Titan, heavy emphasis on close quarters, just with some ranged capabilities this time

Looks awesome, hopefully it's not unlocked the same way stasis was, grinding with each character for ages 🤞🏻

Yeah the d1super unlock system was better

Idk if I’m mistaken but I believe the titan melee ability was also shown at 0:39 when the titan dashes between entangled enemies. I believe this is the case because for a split second after killing the third enemy he stops glowing green then seems to perform the super animation for the calling card. This either means the titan has 3 melee charges or more likely it refreshes on either killing or hitting entangled enemies, this seems like it could actually be pretty fun especially with the quick lunge it has.

@Chris G ah yeah 3 charges makes sense, I could definitely see some synergy possibilities that will allow you to get melee ability energy back pretty quick if there is something where you get energy back on kills (maybe entangled enemies) probably could be like a fragment or something

@MyNameIsNotPa He clicks his fingers like his solar melee.

@Chris G  They released a blog post with details on strand aspects, fragments, and abilities. Titans melee is called frenzied blade and does have 3 charges that can be chained together.

in a leak awhile back where a bungie dev was sharing some animations on thier artstation, it had a titan with 3 melee charges and a very strand-y green look to the subclass icons. dont take this as confirmation, but I wouldnt be surprised if this is how it goes

You know what else had a quick lunge....shiver strike. Remember what they did. Never forget.

Really digging the Vivaldi's Winter vibes.

The warlock and hunter strand kits look really interesting! Once again bungie makes a titan super that is just punching something, but green this time. Very sad, hopefully there is some part of the kit they didn't show that will be cool.

makes me want to get back into it, but imma be patient n wait for a bit after it comes out.

I like how Osiris is just causally looking at the traveler slowing getting suppressed.

I’m hoping the Hunter class is viable in PvP and not absolutely broken so it doesn’t get nerfed to where no one uses it

I came just in time to playing Destiny 2 huh?

Yessir

Isnt it the same for you every season? Just team killing your friends for content? (No offense)

Gg Macro is now sucked into the Destiny 2 rabbit hole with us.

welcome to the destiny community :)) BUCKLE UP

you still haven't said sorry for saying shadowkeep was better than forsaken btw

Looks just amazing. Something fresh finally

The editing, cinematography, music and graphics are outstanding. Y'all bring the freakin' hype

Honestly the more mobility I get in d2 the better. I'm not playing this but the trailer was fire

Finally, a strand-type build.

No other game has ever made me feel this level of excited just to hear another outstanding piece of their soundtracks! Phenomenal job as ever, Bungie!

@Tracyn Valus Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised Bungie has decided to go for Audiomachine because their music honestly slaps

The song is called the afflicted by audiomachine ^^

Architect actually looks kinda fun. Once I eventually buy lightfall I might actually use it over void.

They could have a different Titan super for strand that is like Salvador from borderlands 2, were you can use two weapons at once. Instead of equipping another gun though you would make a 'strand' version of the current gun you're holding In the left hand of your character while you wield your normal gun. Edit: make this 'strand gun' do like 40% less damage or even less because it would be way to op.

We've stranded on Neptune and got green silly strings as a new Subclass, I love it.

Honestly I’m just excited to finally have a subclass to match my green glowstick fashion

Same

Hell yeah, green is my favorite color

Veist’s armor sales gonna be bigger than their weapon sales next season.

Gambit Jadestone Gang!!

Fashion is the one and only true stat

I like the strings in the soundtrack. Very fun motif for the pocket string subclass.

Finally, a strand-type class.

Warlock strand looks insane

I love roaming punch supers. They are super fun and original!

Great work bro. The storyline will be very interesting. Thanks for sharing with us.

The warlock’s attacks and movement of hands makes me think of them as a summoning battle monk!💛

@Travis Tirey it seems to be the most underrated build I barely see people run it

@Diasilveus Probably works with the necro gauntlets which is gonna be fun.

Wonder if it works with striga

It looked like we can eat our grenade to buff the gun somehow with strand. After they shot the vex in a crit kill they did an aoe strand tangle to the others around it.

the music is the best thing i took from this trailer. im very excited for it

I’m a stasis fanboy but ngl that hunter dodge sequence with strand got me rock solid

Man almost makes me want to be a warlock

Best trailer for light fall yet!!! The music was hype and visuals were sick. All I ask Bungie is please don’t shirt us on weapons and exotics please 🙏

Bungie has been so incredibly on point with their music lately bruh this slaps

Whoever at bungo came up with using violin music instead of synthwave deserves the entire communities love and affection

PREACH!

@Linksays violin-synthwave sounds crazy. Crazy enough for Bungie to make it sound amazing, that is!

Yes my king, preach!

Imagine if we get a combination of both synth and violins for the OST. Now that would be sick, and I could actually imagine the team pulling it off.

I can already see guardians using strand to make instruments.

About time we're getting a 2nd strand-type game

still don’t know how I feel about this expansion but I’ll try it out when it releases

as an amatour music producer i really love this soundtrack 👌

Me, tries it - immediately re-equips Thundercrash 😆 I cant help it it's just so fun

This is what I've been waiting for, finally I can watch it

I don’t care if it’s good or not, I still absolutely love how it’s gonna look with my Hunter.

@Zap The Sheep I mean yes, it's definitely not a DPS super from the looks of it, so boss encounters aren't going to be the best scenario, and with all the melee based abilities, GMs won't be their home either, but it looks really smooth and fun to play. Maybe we'll be able to make a good ad clear build out of this with assassin's cowl for example.

@ScottishWraith We are all Lloyds.

nerf hunter strand subclass

Frankly, the super looks like the same animations as the original arcstrider. I don't have high hopes for its usage.

Our Guardians are literally wielding the Matrix at this point lmaoo I love it.

Finally good warlock footage and it looks amazing

Excited to return to warlock after a year maining titan. Strand for titans seems like a green version of light abilities, where the warlock abilities are a bit more creative, or at least look more fun to me.

Warlock is my main, the Strand Warlock will have the same melee as solar where he snaps his finger, his rift for Strand will be the same as arc but instead of the round arc balls zapping enemies it will be the Strand fish killing enemies. He is able to get high in the air like Solar which is really nice.

Grapple is going to be amazing thank god they made it for all three classes

Enjoy play testing it for Bungo for a few seasons, while they fix the bugs.

OKAY THAT give me a good dose of shivers cant wait to trow green everywhere

Super hyped up for this, and incredibly happy to see the Warlock getting so much love in these trailers: makes perfect sense given the whole "opening your third eye" thing

Makes sense. We warlock mains can't win in the class competitions and the crayon eaters just punch through the game

Looks pretty cool and I'm definitely going to play but I can't remember the last time I was genuinely hyped for anything new in Destiny

The Traveler is 100% going to be defeated, we won't lose our light but the Traveler will do something that will make us keep our gifts...the quote "When light falls, use strand" it's quite on the nose and ngl it makes me sad. Like what will the last city look like after this? It's going to be a hell of a time experiencing.

I hope they have unique casting sounds! Everyone despises stasis but the detail that went into that subclass is immaculate to this day.

Those warlock hand signs, It actually looks like you're castkng spells, so cool.

Not crazy about the green color scheme, but I had been hoping for a psychic-themed subclass. IMO, there was plenty of stuff in the lore insinuating it could be a darkness power like the egregore and the nightmares, for example. That said, it does kinda feel like they went a little out of their way to defy expectations and throw a curveball at us. Especially when there was so much already in the game pointing at a poison subclass instead. And I'm not just talking about exotics. Isn't there also a darkness artifact sealed in the Moon pvp map that had a corruption effect in the lore?

We happened to be able to build poison in weapons, it didn't mean we were going to inherit it as a subclass. The egregore while being a manifestation on darkness it was merely an environmental effect. Strand is perfectly fine as it (aesthetically at least) stands parallel to the resonance powers Rhulk used during Vow and remains as an alteration of the physical world rather than the more spontaneous creation-like light powers as said in the original reveal. About the anomaly, while it has a corrupting effect, it is purely psychological. The scientists that long spent around it didn't get "poison" corrupted, they just went crazy

Warlock minion swarm will be fun here. Also loving the idea of the Rope Dart for hunters. Fits in super well and can do wonders.

@A2T4R Because there is nothing to say about striker clone 8292927393838373838

@A2T4R Titan actually looks cool to me. I play warlock and my friends play hunters, hence a bit of favor there to those classes.

@A2T4R i mean titam essentially just got the predator wrist blades

What about Titan? Nothing

@Origins5 bro its gonna make garden so easy

Ahhh yes “when LIGHT falls” wonderful:) another end of season activity meaning the traveller gets fondled.

Bro this looks so cool. All classes look really good, and truely bring in unique ways to play. IMO favorite is hunter cause like, imagine just hitting a strand dive on a group of enemies and literally tangle them in between reality, then hit them with a knife, kill them all, and then grapple out.

how does strand titan bring in unique ways to play, it has a barricade just like the other subclasses and its super is a roaming punch for the 4th time

I said to my clan, "I get more BUDDIES to add to my minion army." Warlock for life. Threadlings about to become my new children.

Now that we have a movement type ability on a subclass it be so cool to see that in other subclasses. I guess arcs got one to with the speed buff, but solar void an stasis could get some to. Imagine riding a stasis Ice wave like Frozone. That be freaking sick.

I hope all the classes get a second super for strand and stasis throughout the year

Not gonna happen, too much effort.

@Sean Johnson wow

@theawesomesausage well since stasis is alot newer than arc i dont think they needed to rush for a new stasis super. yes i agree stasis will need some work but i dont think a new super is necessary

Makes you wonder what will they actually do this year, as they probably spent Year 5 making the Light 3.0 ready

@theawesomesausage Because Light subclasses were getting revamped, dude.

was kinda burned out on the game BUT THIS……this will get me playing (for a couple weeks)

Hot Dayum, mind blowing 😱😱! Let’s hope the Strand Power Subclasses doesn’t break the Crucible

Warlock look amazing for PVE as always

Trailers always look so killer but then the real play 50/50 as always we'll just have to wait and see...

I’m so ready for this!! 😆
