Doubtful, but it opens up to the public on Friday, I believe.

Alternately, preorder on Amazon, and cancel when you get the code. They don't charge until the game ships so you don't have to worry about that.

I have it downloaded the beta and pre-ordered the game through PS4 store. Am I good to play come Tuesday or is there some Bungie account poo poo to deal with?

Players who have pre-ordered digitally will be granted access to the Destiny 2 Beta without needing to redeem codes of any form. The Destiny 2 Beta Client will become available on the PlayStation Store or Xbox Live Marketplace automatically. If players attempt to access the Destiny 2 Beta prior to availability, they will be met with “Destiny Servers Unavailable” error messaging.

search your console's digital storefront for "Destiny 2 Beta" & download

I'd assume the 4 face buttons, so you don't have to take your thumb off your aiming stick.

i think there are two that Sony approved, one was a nacon or something and the other was a Razer Raiju, which I got. i think only the nacon has released in NA, but i had a friend pick up a raiju for me while he was overseas. ironically, they're both pretty much shaped like Xbox controllers, but only the raiju keeps the PlayStation both-sticks-at-the-bottom design.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I mapped jump to a paddle on the Xbox elite controller, which made those jumping puzzles in the raids a cake walk and helps just about everything. I also mapped weapon switch to one, which is rad because you can switch quickly while still aiming and hit faster. Those two seemed the best really. Being able to jump while continuing to look around is just loving amazing.

The mlg pros either do bumper jumper and map those abilities to them or they map rez and jump so you can aim and shoot while reviving and jumping.

Is there any reliable info yet on whether the new trials-like pvp is going to have 3v3? All I can find on google is doofs on reddit complaining. I finally have a good 3-man team put together, and if not I will be sad.

It won't. Luke Smith said 4v4 is across the board, including Trials.

Are they fixing Trials so that normal people can play it or do you still need to 360-no-scope with a XIM3 to have a prayer of getting the good loot?

i don't think that has ever been the case, but i would not count on trials not being huge clusterfucks of meta unless d2 has much better balancing than d1.

Just preordered off the PSN website, yesterday. I got the preorder confirmation, but should I expect a beta key email?

Edit: "2. if you buy from psn store (and xbox store?) you are automatically enrolled"

Guess I am OK.

Yeah you should be able to immediately find and download the beta also on the PSN store.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
New info: Legendaries drop with an 'Intrinsic' perk, which is RNG. Rest of the perks are set but this is one way of making multiple drops of the same gun different.

There's a Weapon Mods section on guns which has a weapon mod slot, an element slot (if it's an elemental primary), and a shader slot. Looks like you can add weapon mods and shaders to your gun. Only 1 weapon mod can be active at a time, but not sure if you can add more than 1 and switch between them like perks. Also not sure if you can change the element for elemental primaries.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.
