![]() ![]() “I have tried to clear this public event seven times and each time I have watched the timer tick down to nothing and we fail because people are not breaking the bosses shields or even trying to go for the minotaurs and it’s very frustrating,” wrote one player on the Destiny subreddit. Other players just wish the randos around them knew what they were doing. That seems to at least in part be due to the massive amount of enemies spawning during a Supernumerary Blitz and the fact that so many players are now using the new Strand subclasses, whose ultimates have also been known to occasionally crash the game. Then there’s the issue of the event being so intense it actually appears to have crashed some players’ games.

If you’re not in the Vex Incursion Zone, there’s nothing to alert you to a Supernumerary Blitz getting underway if you aren’t constantly checking. The bigger issue is that it never quite feels like a traditional MMO-style world boss event because Neomuna instances rarely have more than half a dozen players spread out across multiple zones. It’s a guaranteed Exotic gear drop, so I get that it shouldn’t be happening all the time (though a daily or weekly limit on Supernumerary Blitz chests would also get around that). I just spent close to two hours in Neomuna and didn’t spot one. Bungie increased the spawn rate of the event in a patch last week, but it still seems to be pretty infrequent. Unfortunately, no one seems to be able to find or finish it.Īccording to the Warmind Destiny analytics site, less than 1 per cent of all players have currently earned the triumph for completing a Supernumerary Blitz event. It’s actually a really cool idea, and something Destiny 2 needs way more of. Then you can get to work chipping away at their spongey health meters, with just 10 minutes to destroy them all. Like the Vex phase of Terminal Overload, Neomuna’s main public activity, you need to kill glowing Minotaurs, grab the trace rifles they leave behind, and fire them on the giant Minotaurs to break their shields. It consists of six shielded Gatekeeper-size Minotaurs appearing on the map surrounded by an army of smaller Vex. When it occurs, Supernumerary Blitz looks like any other run-of-the-mill public event unless you toggle over the map marker. ![]() In roughly 50 hours with the expansion I’ve only encountered one twice, and both times hardly any other players were around to help out. The major difference, however, is that while Blizzard’s action-RPG does a lot to telegraph the event and load it up with players, there’s very little fanfare around Destiny 2’s Supernumerary Blitz boss fight. He likens it to an MMO-style world boss, which coming off the recent Diablo IV beta feels especially appropriate. ![]()
