WithDestiny 2’sThe Witch Queen, Bungie changed many existing systems within the game, improved others, and added new functionalities for players to try out. This includes immediately noticeable game features, such as the introduction of the weapon crafting system and the option toswitch from Normal to Legendary campaign missions, and vice versa. However, Bungie’s improvements toDestiny 2are not limited to these functions, and a great example comes from the currently available accessibility options, such as different colorblind modes.
In fact, this has been an important matter to Bungie for a long time, and last September, the Bellevue-based company introduced the Accessibility at Bungie Inclusion Club. The developers also shared plans forDestiny 2weapons to fire full auto with a simple option, which is something that will be released sometime afterSeason of the Risen. Still, there is now an in-game mod that players can slot on their weapons to achieve just that, which is called Full Auto Retrofit, and it makes weapons it works continuously fire while holding the trigger.

The quest for improved accessibility and for making a game where anyone can play is not easy, however. Activities like Raids can be especially challenging for players with disabilities depending on the Raid’s own mechanics, with things like callouts or sound cues that may be difficult to tackle. However, aDestiny 2fan posted on Reddit the story of how they and their differently-abled fireteam managed to complete Vow of the Disciple by having visual cues pop up on Discord via a bot, allowing deaf teammates to efficiently complete the encounters.
The Redditor, called -Savathun-, stated that the fireteam comprised of them (a player without disabilities), four players with auditory disabilities, and a player with one arm. For the latter, -Savathun- made a special controller with a 3D printer, which allowed the player to outperform everybody else on the run. Still,Vow of the Disciplewas not the first Raid -Savathun- and theirDestiny 2team completed, but according to them, it was the most complex, second only to the Last Wish Raid fromForsaken.
Destiny 2is becoming more and more a game that is meant to be played the way gamers want, both in terms of the available and upcoming accessibility options, and gameplay features themselves. A great example of the latter is that aDestiny 2player turned a Throne World weapon into an improved version of Hush, a sunset bow that was praised for how consistently it was in firing precision shots from the hip. Hopefully, the future holds even more options that allow all players to enjoyDestiny 2, regardless of their disabilities.
Destiny 2is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
