Destiny 2 has an amazing endgame full of challenging activities like raids, dungeons, master lost sectors and grandmaster nightfalls. But getting into these activities as a fresh or even experienced player can be a bit daunting.
In this video I interviewed my buddy EK who has helped more Guardians complete their first GrandMaster Nightfall than probably anyone else on earth. We talk about how to get started with Destiny's endgame, what armor and weapons to work towards to make powerful builds, what subclasses don't get as much attention as they should, and much more.

I liked that bow build
Already have.
Could you post the exact hunter build he mentioned where he was invis for 40+ seconds?

i have over 20k plus hours

That new player warlock on the thumbnail must have been doing the legendary shard farm, they have over 15k shards at 1363
Or it could be a returning player as a warlock
its literally the same player with different gear; same triumph score for example

@@catra1 both of us could be right
With specific regards to Invis, it's not that the AI knows you're there (they do - all of them do), it's that they're programmed to continue firing at your last visible location. You will update the enemy AI if you use your jump ability (not the base jump) because it makes a noise and draws the AI attention, causing them to shoot at where you made that sound. This is what trips up most players who aren't familiar with Invis and its mechanics against the AI. You can actually "sneak" past enemies who haven't been alerted to your presence and aren't in LoS of your character model even without Invis as long as you don't use a jump ability or initiate a sprint in their aggro range because of how the AI works and what triggers a location update.
This is really really helpful!
A lot of endgame proficiency revolves around knowing how enemies act and the timing of their attacks/defensive/healing.
I remember learning that when a servitor starts spinning, that means it is ready to teleport when you shoot a rocket or something at it, my mind was blown. 400 hours in shooting and missing servitors and I never noticed that pattern lmao
What makes EK so enjoyable to me is how thorough he is when he goes and explains things. He isn't just telling you what he's doing, but why he's doing it and the benefits of it vs other methods. That really makes a difference and has been extremely helpful for me as I continue to try and get better at GM's.
It reminds me of a RL pro player SquishyMuffinz he commentates his own game and tells you why he does it. Its a good way to teach people.
Very interesting and enlightening conversation as a returning player I think a lot of this will help me get back to the end game after about a year off destiny 2
Out of all your videos, this interview show and tell format is my favorite type. They're so valuable. Just listened to your excellent SMG episode on the Massive Breakdowns pod, too. I hope Kyt Kucha has you back again sometime
EK is a seriously great dude. Used to keep his streams up on my secondary monitor when I was working night shifts. He's such a wealth of Destiny knowledge.
This was the most helpful and insightful destiny video I’ve ever watched since playing the game! Thank you guys for making this and please do more like this in the future.
Fantastic video Patty! Love to finally see some high-end PvE content, I've been getting way more into that. And I LOVE that you got EK on here! He's the best!
These interviews are my favorite! I've been waiting.. Thank you!
As someone who’s been through both the clan and the lfg bender. This man is SCREAMING the words I’ve always said but everyone screamed at me for. I actually used to solo every night fall back in D1 because well the first bit. And I learned the same sort of mindset he has. “No one thing is the best, it changes constantly and you must be able to adapt and work as a team”
That's mostly because, generally speaking, the "one loadout to rule them all" mentality comes from people who think they're better than they actually are and don't realize they're being carried by the adaptable player who understands what actually works best in a given situation. These "one size" players are also the ones you find trying to speedrun standard Strikes/Matchmade Nightfalls and dying 60% of the way into a run without having killed anything non-essential.
What they should be doing is running Dungeons solo to start learning how to run GMs and Raids properly, but they won't.
Ive learned that in any game like this, if you have above 60 iq, its probably best to trust yourself and use metas as a guideline. I played ESO for a few months, and not even 2 weeks into the game, i was teaching people that had played since launch extremely common sense brain dead stuff. I think it has to do with how easy mmp/RPG games are these days.
In ESO you can do almost all the content in the game with NO tanks or healers, just DPS and youll do them faster. But these kids literally sit in que for 30+ minutes for a 5-20 minute dungeon waiting for a tank or healer, EVERY TIME LOL.
Blows my mind how people cant think for themselves. I was absolutely murdered on their reddit for mentioning this... but of course no explanations to why i was wrong, just downvotes
For those who are wondering..all you need are friends to play with so you could participate in endgame stuff..as a solo player it's takes longer to get stuff then someone who got friends to play with
Yep. Being a solo player is tough
@@ThatGuyAlon that's a choice. There's plenty of places within the community that are willing to help/run stuff with peopke
@@tripatomz3441 yeah you’re right lol
So happy to hear Inmost Light recommended! It works in any class, and it's pretty insane when you can throw a Duskfield every 4-5 seconds. In Void it's constant Vortex grenades and shield tosses.
EK is so knowledgeable I’ve learned a lot about GMs and solo player strats from his content. Awesome video!
RUN MONTE CARLO WITH SUNBREAKERS
@@joshuamercado1295 bet
Great knowledge! Thank you both for taking the time to share your wisdom.
I did enjoy this chat immensely. Till today, even though I watched EK twice or thrice, this is the first time I came to know that he has over 4000 GM clears. Wow! Subbed immediately and followed on Twitch too. Thanks PC.
Ekuegan has such a great attitude and mindset, learnt a lot from this, so thanks for sharing.
Assassins cowl and path of burning steps are probably my most used exotics. Nice to hear them get some love.
Man these make my heart happy. Good stuff bro.
Very well done, AND insightful video. EK is a boss!
Wicked awesome discussion and insights - big fan of both of you - thanks!
Thanks buddy this vid was great, brilliant questions and even better answers, thanks a lot I'm certainly gonna follow that guy
Shout out to EK. Been following him for a while. Got a lot of good stuff from his expertise
The fact u interview led the homie was super dope Patty! I truly appreciate it bc I been following EK for a long while! He’s super dope and insightful w his knowledge! I urge u all to follow his YT channel!
Appreciate this!
Dope seeing content creators helping each other out!
This definitely helped me, I was playing D2 non-stop from launch until 2 months after forsaken dropped, i started again about 3 days before the current solstice event and started a fresh account so with all the added and deleted content it felt like Destiny 3 to me. This got me back on track and I now am 1563 with a handful of exotics.
Last thing I remembered was the Orpheus rig being a super spammer's wet dream.. sucks that that got nerfed into the ground
I love how people speak about divinity like it's in everyone's toolbox. Specially when talking about people who've struggled to get into end game content. Considering, 1) how hard it is for solo players to even find a GoS raid to begin with, and 2) with the stigma that revolves around how much of a pain a div run is, best of luck getting a divinity without a dedicated raid team willing to spend 2-3 hours in GoS.
div is not hard if u have a team w more than 2 brain cells just watch a TH-cam video like it shouldn’t take that long
If you need div, this week of September is a great week to try and get it because this week it is a featured raid
@@charlez1174 I'm guessing you've never done a div run.
@@Optprime76 I have divinity, but most solo players will not have it, and will be extremely unlikely to get it, or for that matter even know the quest exists.
I've been watching EK for quite a while, he's given me some good insights. After 4000+ GMs it would seem he should be one of the go-to folks if you want to play that end game stuff (as I always do every season). He also streams on Twitch so I watch him there, especially when GMs drop for the season. Get some good tips and pointers. In his GM YT vids as well.
Gotta admit, for a PvP player like PattyCakes to feature a PvE guy I was a bit puzzled but it was a great chat with EK and much appreciated that you made this video :)
I’m fairly new this has been the most helpful video I’ve seen yet
this was a solid video with a lot of great info. thanks guys :D
Great content ! Learned a lot. Thank you.
This was great !
Good discussion. Learned some new tips. Thanks!
EK is such a nice guy man, helps Hundreds of players in the community, this guy knows it all
Why TH-cam never recommended Ekuegan to me is beyond my understanding but I'm subbing right now. Great video, thanks Patty
Great interview!
what an AMAZING video for new players - im not new at all but this is important for the health of the game. GJ bro - i def Subbed
Great video, it’s like a destiny podcast.☃️❄️🌨 my snowman stasis build.
i listen through this whole thing good video
A smile came across my face when he said Frost-335's I absolutely love those boots.
Only like 50 hrs into the game and i just cant put it down got really lucky on what exotics i got, and loving the grind for a good titan build. Already reset my crucible rank a time or two, and this advice was really helpful. Thanks
I main hunter for everything. I've always just been using omno for gms raids etc... But hearing EK talk about Aeons I'm definitely going to start using them more I think. Will be much more beneficial to my team imo.
This is awesome coming from someone who has never played destiny 2, trying to figure out where to start is hard lmao can’t wait to learn this game though I love big learning curves
Definitely never stop learning metas change season to season im excited for the future
Great Vid!!!!
"i don´t see many titans running around with Hoil" YES! This is such an amazing exotic for literaly anything. You can spam your abilities without any requirements besides timing your spam well. You have constant barricades, constant melees, constant grenadespam, it makes getting through GMs till endboss so much eaisier.
You do now lol
things like this are why I love Destiny. I've played this game since day one and EK's unique perspective let same learn more about the game I love so much.
Interesting to hear this guys point of view, saw another video on youtube not so long ago ranking exotics and Arbalest as well as Aeons were ranked worst in slot.
I played destiny one. Just got destiny 2 thanks for the tips
Last season was the first season I attempted gm's. I loved them and look forward to October 4th to run them again. Last season with solar ignition made them fairly easy, so this season will be interesting to see what strategies work best.
Just started a character yesterday and i had so much fun, great game and story.
We need more stuff like this... 👍
thanks for the insight
I quit Destiny when Destiny 2 first came out. I just started playing D2 the other day and I like where they went with it. I had no idea there was a GM in the game. This is a great vid so far. It's going to take me a while to get through it lol. Many thanks for the both of you sharing this content.
Cool, I started to follow EK a couple of weeks ago with his vid about movement and knowing the enemies and chow they shoot. Now here we are with a great combination vid, I love it! Plus I managed to do all GMs solo this season - coincidence on the timing? I think not!
Edit: btw, I really hat to laugh when EK said, that most people chose an invis Hunter to solo stuff. Well, guess what I’ve been using.
What's the vid called?
big up Ek, i soloed proving grounds using HOIL with skyburners and solar titan, took me an hour but it was the most adrenaline filled thing ive ever done in this game, lotta fun but im definitely not doing it again
Not me with 4k+ hours, multiple Day 1 completions, flawless raids and solo/flawless dungeon clears
*clicks on video*
how much time do you invest in destiny daily/ weekly?
@@theelit3170 Depends on when I can sneak away from work. I work from 0500-1700 (sometimes I work late or early) Mon-Fri with the occasional 24 hour duty even on weekends. But I get home and spend 1-3 hours with wife and kid and then I play till about 2300-0100 at night and then on nights I don't work the next day, I'm up around 0300-0500
Two legends.
Just started playing and this was a great video! gonna buy the witch queen expansion soon.
The thumbnail has the upgraded warlock on arc with tier 4 resilience 💀
You know this all feels really overwhelming like love the info and yet it seems like such a scary prospect to complete grandmaster. But i am going to do it (for the there is no try- yoda), and I'll update the message when I finally complete a grandmaster nightfall.
EK is the dude.
This is a great post. I am a Day 1 (which means nothing) but really appreciate the thought and information you provide. This is so good for solo players that are intimidated by the end game content. I myself am trying to push into this content, because with the right group it would be really fun. Amazing post! Thank you both for all of your information. Destiny is a very complicated game, but it can be easier/more enjoyable with some simple tactics. Thank you again so much!!
That hunter gameplay made me proud I feel like I'm on the right path. What is that power weapon it looks fun as heck?
I really liked this it was motivating
Eukagan is very underrated I'm happy he is being recognised by other youtubers
I think you should have ek on more. I liked the style of this video and his insight was very useful.
Might sound a little strange but I really like running Radiant Dance Machines. I use gamblers dodge and throw a bunch of melees either for the scorch ignites or turning my whole team invisible. I find it pretty fun in lowerish content like dungeons. I probably would run frostee or aeon in a gm type scenario.
try it with grim harvest revenant and the fragment that gives you an over shield when you pick up shards, so fun to play
For GMs I run max resilience with max intellect as a bubble titan. Along with crest of alpha lupi. Creating tons of orbs for my allies and allowing myself to get constant health boosts with the chest piece!
Wish I could like this more than once!
Questions you asked was amazing bro I usually troll in comments but this vid was good.
Recently for GMs I've been running Helm of S14 and the Edge of Action. It allows me to defend my Aeon team mate by throwing the glaive shield over whatever champion they're finishing. And it benefits only from, well, the unstoppable glaive.
edge of action is my new baby, ever since they added an over shield to its base bubble, it makes for easy free rezzes and on top of that glaives are phenomenal in end game
Just started completing solo lost sector's, for the first time im hype ^.^
Something I highly recommend for this type of content is to do the same kind of "meaningful" summary of what your guest talked about after they leave.
The biggest TH-camr that comes to mind that does this is Anthony Padilla, if you've seen any of his interviews on his channel.
I think it could add a great sorta -- book binding finale to encapsulate the interview.
Obviously I always love the content, just figured I'd pass along this idea since I was almost expecting it at the end of the video.
Thanks I’ll check him out
i only ever use Heart of The Inmost Light on my solar titan, goes great with this weeks strike modifiers
I think a stasis exotic overload bow would be dope
I was farming proving grounds on master where me and a friend of mine were both running consecration titans with heart of inmost light.
Super informative and helpful being a new guy to the game. Just had guys in a raid talk mad shit cause I was 100k less damage than what they did to the boss😂 going to switch to void hunter to give it a try
Haven’t played destiny 2 in 2 years so I just started the witch queen. Been playing the campaign on legendary and it’s a pain In the ass but I’m getting thru it
Aye I love EK
Gd really interesting watch.
Good content, 👍 new subscriber here
I just watched your last two videos and I”m so happy to see you highlight other great creators in the community! I always like when my fav creators show off other people! I think it’s some of the love the community needs right now :)
Oh my lord, all the fully upgraded exotics! That would be awesome to have haha!
Well even though I love playing endgame this kinda helped set in stone what I have learned all these years. I dont have time to play the game very intensively but I know my way around. Sometimes I need time to figure stuff out and of course I get blamed but that's part of it.
Also the Foetracer stuff blew my mind, I always thought it only worked for non bosses. But im not a hunter main so im probs not gonna use that info
Ekuegan: "a lot of people are asking for bows to have an intrinsic perk"
Le Monarque: "I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move"
could you make a guide on FTP endgame? i think a lot of people would appreciate it
never clicked so fast
Im brand new to destiny 2 and I didn't realize just how lucky ive gotten with my exotic drops, I gor arbalest as one of my first
Ek is the Gm goat
1st thing I'd say for the thing I notice newish players do.
Situational/spacial awareness and positioning
back when I spent 48 hours farming disgraced for pali and never got a good one. I used blinding nades Gemini jester and invis. its a great way to combat small dense melee heavy rooms. IE thraws and the fallen marauders.
Worst part about destiny for me is going from always having a good team that enjoys playing it and learning raids to having 1 or 2 guys become toxic because they were online 24/7 constantly grinding for the newest weapons and showing off then slowly abandoning each other for lfg groups and losing all the fun of what games are supposed to be leading to the whole group not playing it anymore. I finally came back after 8 months to see noone else even considering coming back so its now just repetitive tasks alone since lfg just doesnt work anymore for average players. so seeing how ek handles the team strategy and talking about solo players like myself coming in loaded for all the champions really hits home and im glad theres someone like him in the community that doesnt get caught up in being the top pvp or first solo raid etc all the time he just genuinly enjoys helping the community is awesome
Could also use swift charge if your using a pulse on instead of the finisher but, like aeons it won’t drop for you
I’m not sure on how good it is but chain of command is a monster for shield breaks and it doesn’t take a ton of shots to break it with adaptive munitions
My advice to any new group (which was touched on in the video) is run a void hunter with omni. great debuffs, godd super, and the best person to rez in bad situation in the game. If your omni hunter lives you will clear the GM 95% of the time. The other thing my fireteam learned was COMMUNICATION is key. It leads to trust and better success.
Season 15 is when I finally got into the endgame pve of destiny after what 4-5 years of playing the game? And part of that was that I had the time to power grind because of the long season I was high enough on my warlock, hunter, and titan to do gms, it was awesome, but I feel like I just don’t have the time to grind all those levels out on all my classes like that,
Dodge is still gonna be reliable luckily, we can still get our cover
This is one seriously cool guy 😎
