Bungie announces challenges for King's Fall raid in 'Destiny: The Taken King'

One of the highlights of Bungie’s online shooter, “Destiny,” are the raids that challenge players and pushes them to their limits with some tough enemies to defeat. These raids do not only provide a challenge to the players but it also rewards them with some amazing loot. As such, the price to pay for these loot is the difficulty of the raid but it seems that the developer is looking to provide players with even more challenges in the future.

Bungie is looking to turn up the competition of “Destiny” with the addition of a new feature in raids: a challenge mode. The developer announced today that starting next month; raid bosses will become significantly more difficult. Week after week, one of the four King’s Fall bosses will have a specific challenge for players.

The challenge will appear next to a skull when players select a raid; pretty much like the Nightfall strike modifier. These challenges are available on both hard and normal versions of the raid. Players who take up the challenge will of course be rewarded at the end of the match said Bungie.

For those unfamiliar with the King’s Fall, it is the raid which first appeared in “Destiny: The Taken King.” It pits players into a total of four different battles against bosses. The bosses are Warpriest, Golgoroth, the Daughters of Oryx and Oryx. Bungie then made these boss fights tougher with the addition of the hard mode a week later.

Bungie is yet to detail what the challenges could be but seeing that the hard version of King’s Fall is significantly difficult, players should expect a big challenge in front of them. However, the developer does tease that the challenge requires players to defeat a boss in a very specific manner.

Bungie is yet to say exactly when the challenges will drop but it does not that it will come early in December. The challenges could come along with the update in December featuring new exotics. Gamespot reports that these exotics include and array of weapons most of which are Year One items which have been upgraded.
