Destiny 2: Saint-14 Now Present In Tower
Finally time to deliver those cookies.
Those of you playing through the Destiny 2 Winter event may have found yourself caught up on a bit of a hitch: The Lavender Ribbon Cookies that you bake up have instructions to deliver to Saint-14 in the tower hanger. The problem? When you get to the tower hanger, Saint-14 is nowhere to be found!
Saint-14 is the latest character reintroduced to Destiny 2 thanks to the Season of Dawn event. This season’s activities are centered around finding and saving Saint-14 after he went missing and was presumed dead in the Infinite Forest. Thankfully Guardians have managed to canonically save Saint-14 and at the end of his raid players are told to meet up with him back at the Tower. Until today he has not arrived.
Thankfully you can now deliver your cookies to Saint-14 and take part in a number of quests in return for goodies. Saint-14 can be found in the hanger behind Amanda Holliday. All players should see a notification upon login that Saint-14 is now present in the Tower.
Best Buy Thanks Fortnite For Boosted Holiday Sales
Fortnite: It didn’t just save Epic Games, it evidently also gave Best Buy quite the boost this holiday season.
The Wall Street Journal published an article on Thursday noting that Best Buy Co. gave credit to the insanely popular Battle Royale game for boosting its own holiday sales in 2018. How so? According to the company’s sales charts, the popularity of Fortnite spurred a surge in purchases of headphones and other game accessories.
Best Buy is so sure that Fortnite is behind this surge in purchases that CFO Corie Barry called the game a “phenomenon” that “lifted all boats in gaming.” Strong sales in gaming, wearables, appliances, and smart-home products helped to outweigh a hit to mobile phone spending.
