Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost 2025: A Slasher vs. Spectre Showdown
Destiny 2 players are gearing up for a spooky choice in the upcoming Festival of the Lost 2025 event. Bungie has unveiled two competing armor sets, "Slashers" and "Spectres," each inspired by iconic horror figures, and is letting the community decide which set makes the cut.
The "Slashers" set channels classic horror villains, with Titan armor evoking Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th), Hunter armor channeling Ghostface (Scream), and Warlocks donning a menacing Scarecrow design. Conversely, the "Spectres" set offers a different flavor of fright, transforming Titans into the Babadook, Hunters into La Llorona, and Warlocks into the enigmatic Slenderman.
This community vote adds a thrilling element to the anticipation for Festival of the Lost, but the excitement is tempered by ongoing concerns within the Destiny 2 community. Episode Revenant, the current season, has faced criticism due to a significant number of bugs and glitches, impacting gameplay and player satisfaction. The prevalence of these issues, coupled with a reported decline in player engagement, has led to frustration among the player base. Many feel the focus on a Halloween event ten months out overshadows the need to address the game's current problems.
While the new armor sets offer a welcome distraction, the underlying issues remain a significant point of discussion. The community awaits Bungie's response and a path towards resolving the ongoing challenges facing Destiny 2.
