Kit and Mike are on the Destiny grind, and the thought...er...struck...them that, due to content vaulting, new players do not have context for many of the characters and scenarios in the Dares of Eternity and Destiny 2's Strike Playlist. After a brief Season of the Lost check-in, it's time to live up to the podcast's namesake and explain who, where, when, and what the hell exactly is going on with the Strikes in Destiny 2 (at a very basic level). Hopefully this is a helpful resource for new players! Timecodes for each strike are provided below. Be brave!
