Destiny 2 adds in Nightfall strike scoring and text chat for PC

After reading through the most recent Destiny 2 patch notes, you can join us in a sigh of relief at the fact that the game has enabled opt-in text chat only for PC players in social spaces and public areas. Clearly adding more to that system (which basically every single PC game with multiplayer has had over the past three decades) would lead to mass hysteria and a breakdown of everything in the MMO. But perhaps we should just be happy that text chat is there now, even if it’s in a limited format.

More relevant for players on all platforms is the addition of strike scoring for Nightfall, the marquee feature for the update. Players will score points for both kills and orb generation, with players who score above a certain threshold enabling an aura and a token bonus. (That’s “bonus to tokens,” not “a bonus that’s just a token bonus.”) Players can also enjoy new Nightfall challenge cards and variants on emblems, so check out the full patch notes before you go storming back into the game with full firepower.
