 Shallow keep overall I'd give maybe a 7 out of 10, 8 out of 10 out of 8 push. For a standalone DLC though by Bungie it's better than I thought it would be. Still wise it's a little shorter than I expected but overall things to do, play for and replayability factor, I'm kind of enjoying it. Today we talk about the addition that arrives on the 5th of the raid, the Vex Offensive. How's it going guys? My name's DPGeneric and I'd like to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video. If you do enjoy leaving the like really helps out and subscribe if you want to see more Destiny 2 videos. Okay so I'll try and keep this short and sweet. The Vex Offensive is a great addition to the game and it's basically a feature, a new activity that fits the Destiny player down to a T. Destiny for me has always been about grinding for that perfect rolled item. When Shadow keep dropped and the story for me which was literally over in under an hour after this I was left a little speechless. Now I know that the story can take as a chapter 1 and it will develop over the year that's cool and I understand that. What I was disappointed in though was the fact that after completing the story there wasn't really anything else to get my teeth into besides the normal things we had before. It felt like the same grind we've been doing for a year hadn't really changed. Yes farming for those perfect rolled armours is great but that's to me something I've always done when I reach or am near a top level. I hate finding that perfect armor piece and wasting my materials infusing it along with my level so normally I'd hide anything decent I find away in my vault. So yeah hunting for decent armours is something I've always waited to do so without having that Shadow keep after the story felt a little underwhelming. Now the addition of the artifact was a great move as well as the battle pass and it was more or less these that kept me playing but I won't lie to yous. Coming back from Borderlands which is the grindiest most rewarding game I've ever played Destiny too far a little left behind. I get the whole power level chase I've done it I've been doing it for many many years with Destiny. I just hoped with Shadow Keep we would see a fun addition to it in terms of a feature or activity which helped us level up and was fun to play at the same time which was something new. And that guys is where the vex offensive came in. Four days after Shadow Keep a whole three days and 23 hours after people had completed the story campaign we got the addition most included myself felt Shadow Keep needed. An activity a six man match made activity which rewards you crazy good loot which you can farm forever on end. Now this mod does sound familiar to a mod bungee in my opinion ruined and we'll get to that in a second. But the vex offensive literally was players for playing allows them to chase a certain item yet keeping the element of RNG in terms of roles and at the same time is actually fun to play. I saw one reply to Guarth's tweet asking about the activity and one kid replied with it's good but it's repetitive I'm like kid where have you been for the past five years. The thing most Destiny players like is the fact that mods like these are repetitive but rewarding at the same time. Destiny has always been repetitive it's just for the majority of its life it's been repetitive and not really rewarding but repetitive mods are completely fine when they are rewarded by still keeping an element of RNG which is addictive at the same time that's what we like. We like to grind a mod over and over and over it's the element of RNG that random role and that weapon we've been chasing which is addictive that's what we like to play for. So with the vex offensive you can buy weapon frames. Get said amount of kills with weapon type and you're rewarded a role on said weapon you choose and you can repeat this process for as long basically as you keep playing as these frames cast vex mine components which are also rewarded from the vex offensive. So farming for that perfect rolled weapon is something you can do here which is great and to be honest it fits what I felt shallow keep did indeed in the end need. Now going forward I do hopefully add the addition to farm for armor too as well as a certain few weapon archetypes that ain't available here yet. Now the Monadre did start out as being an amazing addition probably the best PvE addition to the franchise. Bungie then did nerf the game mode via taking away an exploit which most players only played the mode for. Bungie claimed it was too rewarding. Problem is the vex offensive is also seriously rewarding because the amount of drops you get people is absolutely crazy. I just seriously hope Bungie do not nerf this activity. Now in saying that people the very foundation of the system in the reward the vex offensive offers is literally the very perfect foundation the Monadre should have been implemented on rewards after every encounter that would have been absolutely great. Now I feel it's a little too late for the Monadre but let's hope they don't make the same mistake again in nerfing a great PvE addition one that rewards the player for playing. So yeah guys the vex offensive is a great addition to the game now on the 19th you also get the vex offensive final assault which I'm hoping brings more challenge more rewards as that would be absolutely incredible. But yeah guys that's just my thoughts on the vex offensive in my opinion it's a great addition it's what Shadowkeep needed for the PvE player. Obviously the raid is amazing too by an activity where we can choose our reward an activity where we can go into there knowing what we're going to get even with the element of RNG with the role it's going to land with that is something I feel the average D2 player seriously appreciates the next hope it don't go away.
