Destiny 2 is finally here in the form of an explosive open beta, which now available on Xbox and PS4. If you’ve pre-ordered the game you can jump into the beta now, otherwise you’ll have to wait until 3am AEST, or alternatively use this trick to download it early without pre-ordering on PS4.
From what we can tell about the experience, it’s much of the same with some subtle as well as a number of potent changes that mix things up a bit.
In this guide we’ll take a look at the Warlock class, specifically the Voidwalker subclass.
Voidwalker Guide: All Super, Abilities, and Grenades
The Voidwalker focuses on manipulation and use of Void energy. This subclass is a particularly offensive class, although it’s not quite as effective defensively.
Abilities
There are two currently known Warlock class skills in Destiny 2:
