Power Level and Fireteam Size

One important aspect of the legendary campaign is that activity power is disabled, meaning a player’s power level does not affect the difficulty. This allows players to use older, lower-power weapons from their vault without worrying about infusion.

The difficulty of the campaign scales based on the number of fireteam members. Solo players will face the easiest enemies, while a full fireteam of three will encounter the toughest foes. The sweet spot seems to be a two-person fireteam, which offers a balance between enemy difficulty and the benefits of having a teammate.

Weapon and Ability Recommendations

Several weapons prove particularly useful throughout the legendary campaign:

For abilities, crowd control options like Stasis freezing, blinding grenades, or the Titan’s shackle grenades are invaluable. The Titan’s Prismatic subclass, while considered the weakest overall, shines in the campaign thanks to its crowd-control capabilities.

The final boss fight against the Witness is particularly challenging. Here’s a brief overview:

  1. Damage the Subjugator of the Fluxon boss while avoiding the Witness’s attacks by using cover.
  2. Shoot darkness objects to become Shielded from Darkness, then claim the Shield of Light.
  3. Use the shield’s super to break the Subjugator’s immunity, then block the Witness’s attack in the center of the arena.
  4. Defeat the Subjugator to spawn a light-imbued sword. Use it to destroy statues in the alternate area.
  5. Repeat the process, requiring constant refreshing of Shielded from Darkness.
  6. In the final phase, use a shield to protect the team while moving between light areas and reaching the end of the path.

By following these tips and mastering the unique mechanics of the legendary campaign, Destiny 2 players can overcome the challenges of The Final Shape expansion and reap the rewards that await them.
