A: Each tier that you increase your weapon will grant a small buff to a single stat, chosen randomly when the item drops. Beyond that, at Tier 5 you gain access to a kill tracker. At Tier 10, your multi-kills will generate orbs of light.

- Darkness in the light, the most difficult quest step of all time. (solo) So you want the Malfeasance hand cannon, sure get the first step from a specific boss in a game mode nobody wants to play, yeah kill some taken bosses and stuff.
Quest has a system built in for handling light and darkness in your game.
A Dark Room
The first step is to go to the features tab of the game object and tick the box “Lightness and darkness…” (actually this is optional; it just turns the editor features on, your game will run the same either way).
Darkness in the Light - Dark Weapon Core (Destiny 2) Annex, The Tower, The Last City, Earth The Drifter: I finally have an answer for the Man with the Golden Gun. And it's something you and me built together. 240 quotes have been tagged as light-and-darkness: Roy T. Bennett: ‘Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone’s life. Be the light that h.
By default rooms are lit. We will create a dark room, called “darkroom”. Create the room as normal, make exits to and from it, and give is a description. Now go to the Light/Dark tab, and tick the “Room is initially dark” checkbox.
Try the game, and you will find two things. The first is that there is no default dark room description; it is just blank. The second is that you are trapped in the dark room - there is no way to use the exit if it is too dark to see it!
A Light from the Door
Go to the exit from this room, and on the Options tab, tick the “This object is a light source” box. In the dropdown box that appears, set it to be weak. Now the player will see and be able to use this exit, even if the room is dark - there is a faint light coming from the other room, enough to show you the way out.
Go back to the Light/Dark tab of the room, and add a description to display when dark. Perhaps: “It is dark, but you can just make out an exit to the west.” Now when you play the game the room is still dark, but the exit is useable, and the player will not be trapped here.
Weak and Strong
Quest has three levels of light for objects. None at all, weak and strong. A strong light will illuminate the whole room. A weak source only illuminates itself. The exit was a weak light source, so it could be seen in the dark room but nothing else could. What we need is a strong light source.
Implementing a Torch
Create a new object, called “torch”. On the Inventory tab tick it so it can be taken. On the Features tab, tick Lightness and Darkness. Then on the Light/Dark tab, tick it as a light source and set it to be Strong.
Now go in-game. With the torch in hand, your darkroom will be illuminated.
A Note about Containers
Quest has a sophisticated container system. If the player puts the torch in a container that is flagged as transparent, the torch will still illuminate the room.
Implementing a Light Switch
Create an object, lightswitch, inside the dark room. On the Features tab, make it switchable. On the Switchable tab, also make it Switchable, and fill in the message boxes. Then in the script to run when turned on, put in this (not sure what to do with code? See here):
For the other script, you need this:
The Corrupted Mission D2
Very simple, they just alter the “dark” attribute of your dark room.
If you try it out, you will find the light switch now controls the darkness of the room (you will need the torch to find the switch, but then leave the torch elsewhere to confirm the room is now lit). You could, of course, set the switch to be a weak light source, so it can be found in the dark.
Implementing a Switchable Torch
We should be able to turn the torch off, to save the battery. Pretty similar to before - on the torch object, first set it to not be a light source, as it is initially turned off (but keep it as a Strong light source!), then go to the Features tab, and make it switchable. On the Switchable tab, make it Switchable (the default messages are good enough). Then in the script to run when turned on, put in this:
For the other script, you need this:
A Torch that Fails
No torch lasts forever; let us put a limit on this one. First create a new attribute for the torch, called “battery”. If working offline, you can do that by going to the Attributes tab to create it, and Set it to be an integer, with a value of 5 (we want a small number whilst we are playing around; for your game you will want it much higher). If using the web version, you have no Attributes tab, so go to the Script tab of the game object, and add this code:
We now need a turn script. We could do this two ways: have the turn script enabled and disabled when the torch is turned on and off, or have it running all the time, but only use the battery when turned on. I am going to do the former.
Create a turn script, and make sure it is under the Object object (i.e., it is vertically aligned with your rooms, not the stuff in the rooms). Give the turn script a name, torchturnscript, and paste in this code:
Darkness In The Light Quest Destiny 2
The first line reduces the life of the battery. If it gets to zero the rest of the script kicks in (I am checking for less than one rather than zero in case something odd happens, and it jumps to -1; I still want the torch to the fail then). Once the battery fails, we need the torch to be switched off, to not be a light source and for this turn script to stop. We also need a message to the player.
The last line sets a special attribute that (as of version 5.7) Quest will check before switching the object on; if the attribute is a string, the string is displayed, rather than turning on the item.
Now we need to go back to the torch, and the scripts on the Switchable tab. The turn off script now looks like this, as we now want to turn off the turn script when the torch is off:
The turn on script is more complicated, as we have to test if the battery is dead.
If the battery is good, the torch becomes a light source, and the turn script goes on.
If the battery is dead, we need to turn the torch off again, and give a message. The turning on message will fire every time, that is just how Quest works, so the fail message needs to be crafted around that.
Want to recharge or replace the battery? Here is the code:
Is it dark?
If you want to know if it is dark in the current room, use the CheckDarkness function. This will return true if the room is dark and there is no strong light source in it, and false otherwise. For example, for a SEARCH command, the code might look like this:
Descriptions: scripts vs text
If you use text for a room or object description, Quest will check if it is dark first, and only give the description if there is light to see the object.
If you have set the room description to be a script, then Quest will again check if it is dark, and will only run the script if the room is illuminated.
For objects, however, the Quest will run the script, whatever the illumination. Note that this is only an issue when they are in the inventory - objects in the room are not reachable if the player cannot see them. Yo may want to check in each script, then, whether there is enough light to see the object. On the other hand, you might reason that since the player has picked the object up, it is reasonable to assume she can remember what it looks like or can feel it, and so it does not matter. Or you could give different descriptions depending on the lighting.
To get you started, this script will check if it is dark, and if it is, give the standard response; otherwise if gives the proper descriotion.
Destiny 2 In the Face of Darkness is a new quest added to the game in the Season of Arrival. In the Face of Darkness basically serves as an introduction to all the new mechanics that have been added, and it’s not overly complicated to complete. Unfortunately, there are some bugs that are making life hell for Guardians. That being the case, in our In the Face of Darkness Destiny 2 – Quest Progression Bugged guide, we’re going to show you how to complete the quest, and what you can do with the bugs.
How to Start In the Face of Darkness Quest in Destiny 2?
To start the In the Face of Darkness quest in Destiny 2, you first have to complete the A Shadow Overhead mission. At that point, the Face of Darkness should pop up in your quest list. The first step is pretty easy, all you have to do is head back to the Tower and talk to the Drifter. He’s going to give you the Seed of Silver Wings, and tell you to take it to an “invasion site on Io or Titan and complete the Contact public event.”
Long story short, all you have to do is go and complete the Contact event, either on Io or on Titan. At the time of writing, it’s on Io, but you’ll have to check where it is for yourself. After you do that, go back and talk with the Drifter again. He’ll tell you use the Umbral Decoder to decrypt the Umbral Engram. You can read more info on that in our Where to Decrypt Umbral Engrams, but basically, just use the small, furnace-like machine just below and to the left of the Drifter.
Taken Their Energy Destiny 2 Face of Darkness Quest Step Bug
To complete the Taken Their Energy step of In the Face of Darkness in Destiny 2, you have to complete either a Playlist strike, a Crucible match, or a Gambit match. That seems simple enough, but unfortunately, there seems to be a bug undercutting the experience. Apparently, what’s going on is, the game just doesn’t register you completing one of these activities. Sometimes, members of the same fireteam will get the next step, while others don’t.
There’s a chance that doing Control or Gambit Prime is going to help with this, but there’s no guarantee. Maybe it’s some sort of server issue, or whatever it is, there doesn’t seem to be any exact fix for it. All you can do is keep playing these events (if you’re doing The Bank Job parallel with this, you kinda have to anyway), and hope that the game eventually gives you what you need. Once it does, go back, talk to the Drifter, and you’ll get the Drifter’s Secret Stockpile.
How to Use Prismatic Recaster in Face of Darkness in Destiny 2?
Once you get the Drifter’s Secret Stockpile, go to the Prismatic Recaster. That’s the large, oven-like structure to the left of where the drifter is standing. Interact with it, and then dump all 500 Twisted Energy. Once that’s done, click on the Gifts of Light and Dark tab, and unlock Umbral Enhancement I. After that, go into Umbral Focusing, and choose whatever Umbral Engram tickles your fancy. With those in your pocket, head back to the Umbral Decoder to open them. You’ll get some cool stuff, and progress the quest. Go back and talk to the Drifter to get the next step.
In the Face of Darkness Quest Bug – Can’t Start Means to an End
Another bug that plagues the In the Face of Darkness quest is that people can’t start the adjoining Means to an End mission. Basically, the quest just doesn’t appear in the Prismatic Recaster. This is a huge problem, especially since this is a weekly activity, meaning that it goes in and out. So, it could potentially mess up your progress, not just this week, but the next, as well.
Darkness In The Light Quest Steps
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any way for you to fix this bug on your own, barring maybe restarting the game and seeing what happens. On the brighter side, Bungie is aware of the problem, and are working on fixing it. By the time you read this, the issue might even be solved already. One can hope.
