Destiny 2
About Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is Bungie's free-to-play online shooter-RPG set in a science-fiction/fantasy hybrid universe. Players become Guardians, immortal warriors protecting humanity's last city against dark, cosmic forces. Choosing from the Titan, Hunter, or Warlock classes, players move between single-player/co-op story campaigns, challenging 6-player group activities called Raids, and a competitive PvP mode called the Crucible. The game's expansions (Forsaken, Beyond Light, The Witch Queen, Lightfall, The Final Shape) have built a continuously evolving, changing story universe over the years, and its weapon and armor loot-hunting loop constantly upgrading player equipment has made it one of the most beloved examples of the 'looter shooter' genre.

How can I get more FPS in Destiny 2?
In fast competitive shooters like this, favour frame rate over looks: use low shadow and effects quality, keep textures moderate, and cap FPS slightly below your monitor's refresh rate for steadier frame times. Destiny 2 recommends 8 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
