Destiny House of Wolves

Destiny’s House of Wolves expansion is now available to one and all. After the new expansion dropped, all weekly and daily activities returned to the director, allowing players opportunities at new strikes.

The Nightfall strike should interest players the most. This is a House of Wolves-exclusive strike called the Shadow Thief and sees Guardians heading to Venus to deal with Taniks the Scarred. Among the modifiers you can expect are Epic, Nightfall, Arc Burn, Juggler and the new Brawler which greatly increases Guardian melee damage. Of course, since everything is capable of murdering you with Arc damage, you’ll need to proceed with caution.

Those who don’t own the expansion need not worry – Bungie has de-coupled the Weekly Heroic and Nightfall activities. The Weekly Heroic will take you to Winter’s Run to hunt down the Archon Priest with Heroic and Juggler modifiers in full effect. So don’t worry about not being able to earn your usual Strange Coins for the week.

Destiny’s House of Wolves is now available for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4. Have you had a chance to hunt some Wolves? Let us know in the comments below.
