What is Onslaught in Destiny 2?
Onslaught is a horde-style PvE mode coming to Destiny 2 in Into The Light. Taking place in the Last City, Guardians will need to work together to fend off waves of enemies, collecting scrap and building defenses to assist them along the way.
The mode will take place on the Midtown PvP map with new decorations. Players will occasionally need to invade a Pyramid ship to defeat a boss every 10 waves or so in order to progress.
The playlist version of Onslaught will only feature 10 waves total, whereas the harder Challenge mode will have 5 sets of 10 waves, with players needing to move around to 3 different locations across the map throughout.
You can play with up to 2 other Guardians in Onslaught for a total of 3.
This can be done through a fireteam or through matchmaking, meaning solo players will still be able to hop into the mode and try their hand at it.
Challenge mode on Normal difficulty will also be available for matchmaking, but the higher difficulty Legend mode may require a premade fireteam for better coordination.
