| TAKE THE STEAM SILVER STORE DOWN. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 11:05 AM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/MnKkyLx You're able to multiply silver purchases for the price of one. I performed one transaction already for 2 and got it for 59.99. I will not be performing this screenshot transaction or any future ones. PLEASE UPVOTE FOR NOTICE .

| [SPOILER] I said I would do it, so... I jumped the Hellmouth. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 12:32 PM PDT I have wanted to jump the Hellmouth for some time now, and when I saw the Hellmouth was a part of the map for Shadowkeep, I knew what had to be done. Not nearly as much practice as I thought it would take, but I was cutting it very close until this final attempt, and even then I made it by a few feet. Possibly the First Hellmouth Jump of D2 Can't wait for someone to do it Sparrow only though. :) Not completely sure if 'The Hellmouth' or the video contains any spoilers, but I'll mark it as such out of courtesy. EDIT: Moon's Closed. EDIT2: To the guardian who gave me gold: I legit don't know what to do with this. I'm a Titan, can I eat it? EDIT3: Platinum AND front page? Am I dreaming? I thought us Titans just go into a state of punching anything close to regain our stamina. submitted by /u/chese780 [link] [comments] |
| Not a spoiler: Subtitles have been turned off Posted: 01 Oct 2019 01:15 PM PDT Something in the update reset the subtitle to a default of off. If subtitles are your thing (as they are for me) you can just re-enable them from the configuration menu, but you might want to do it before you go to cut scenes. Platform: Playstation, XBox and PC Remember your spoiler tags Guardians and happy hunting! EDIT: Added additional platforms affected, thanks for sounding off :) submitted by /u/SlipperMisfit [link] [comments] |
| Can we get an F in chat for all the poor, poor guardians who are "sick" today and can't go to work? Posted: 01 Oct 2019 06:23 AM PDT There's so many guardians today who seem to be *ahem* sick and can't go to the office today boss, sorry. What a shame! submitted by /u/we11ington [link] [comments] |
| Solstice Armor should have become an ornament, period. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 07:34 PM PDT Getting it as armor instead of an ornament means we can only look that way with that set, no versatile stats while remaining in this great style. Ornaments are a wonderful addition and having the hard earned solstice armor as an ornament would be way better the the optimacy set! Lol. submitted by /u/Olgrateful-IW [link] [comments] |

| You can level to the soft cap, just with literally any tokens you have. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 11:10 AM PDT If you didn't know already, you can spend all of your tokens, crucible, vanguard, even the old leviathan tokens to level up, you always get a +1/+2/+3 item above your current max PL. I just made it to 800, with crucible tokens. DONT waste the real powerful reward for the soft cap! edit: THE SOFT CAP IS 900, so vendors drop until you reached 900. Edit2: gunsmith materials are working, too Edit3: you also unlock all of new mods! Edit4: planetary vendors work with planetary metarials aswell! Edit5: it takes around 3000 token for 50 power level Edit6: for everyone who says it's a stupid advice to burn thru tokens: You don't need tokens since there are no new drops anyways, just year one and two gear You get new mods and you need these ASAP anyways You DONT want to complete missions/milestone/pinnacle/story quests before you are 900 Also moon story starts at 760, so why would u put urself in a disadvantage? There is no reason to hold on to tokens until destiny 3 comes, especially not leviathan tokens, THIS right now is the best moment to use them. submitted by /u/LynaaBnS [link] [comments] |
| Destiny 2 Update 2.6.0.1 Posted: 01 Oct 2019 09:31 AM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/48198
Systems Combat Systems Finishers - Finisher System added. Press the finisher button to finish critically wounded combatants.
PvE Damage Numbers Display Goal: To provide players with useful and legible feedback for damage dealt to enemy combatants across many years of Power progression. - Displayed damage numbers for damage dealt to non-Guardian enemy combatants are crunched
- Damage dealt is displayed using fewer digits to enhance readability of damage output
- Occurrences of displayed damage getting capped at 999,999 should be significantly reduced or eliminated
- The exponential curve used to calculate damage numbers for display is replaced with a new linear curve that is built to last for many years
- As players grow in Power, displayed damage numbers increase at a much more measured pace than previously
- This is a UI update only; player damage output, whether measured as hits to kill, time to kill, or DPS, remains unchanged by this update
PvE Difficulty Tuning Goals: Widen the sweet spot where fighting higher-level combatants provides a fun, challenging, and rewarding combat experience for a more enjoyable Power climb. Also, allow players looking for even greater challenges to confront much higher-level enemies. - Combatants that are 10–40 levels higher take less time to kill and deal less damage
- Higher-level combatants continue to increase in difficulty up to 100 Power levels above the player
- When enemies are 100 Power levels or higher above the player, they are immune to damage
- Nameplate icons on higher-level combatants have been updated to reflect these changes
- These changes affect only higher-level combatants; the at-level or over-level experience remains unchanged
Sandbox Abilities Buffs Nightstalker Way of the Pathfinder (Bottom) Goal: We want to lean into the fantasy of a speedy disruptor. Pathfinders need more tools to scout the battlefield and a skill based way to engage with that gameplay more often. We should reward this scouting and battlefield control gameplay, executed well, with more opportunities to do the same. At the same time shadow shot needed some quality of life improvements for long standing frustrations. Vanish: Smoke bomb grants invisibility to allies Provision: Killing tethered enemies creates super orbs and increases agility, armor, and recovery for allies Moebius Quiver: Fire super multiple times and deals massive damage to tethered targets Shadowshot Super (Top and Bottom path) Damage increased from 150 > 250 Improved tether accuracy near obstacles Suppress on hit is more consistent Sentinel Code of the Protector (Top) Goal: This path is the main support role for Titans and focuses heavily on melee kills while staying near allies. We want to focus more heavily on buffing allies so that players care about the timing of their buff usage. With a loop which allows players to get their melee energy back more quickly this will be a more engaging path to play. Additionally, Ward of Dawn is currently not up to snuff, and needs a buff that ties in to the fantasy of buffing allies. Defensive Strike: Melee ability that creates an overshield for nearby allies Rallying Force: Melee kills heal nearby allies - Heal buffed from 10 health and 10 shields to 10 health and 20 shields (50% increase)
Ward of Dawn: Alternate super that creates a shield bubble - Increase ward health versus supers
- Most supers will require the whole thing to be dumped on the ward to destroy it but will (usually) not kill the players inside
- Ward grants weapons of light buff when passing through it (35% weapon damage for 15 seconds)
- Grants an additional super orb (3)
- Auto-generated orbs now grant the same amount of super energy as regular super orbs (previously the orbs gave less super energy on par with masterwork orbs)
Sentinel Code of the Aggressor (Bottom) Shield Bash: Shoulder charge that disorients nearby enemies - Now suppresses the target hit and any enemy within 2 meters (have to be basically right next to them)
Voidwalker Attunement of Hunger (Bottom) Vortex: Nova Bomb leaves behind a damaging AoE pool - Initial explosion damage increased 15%
- Lingering damage increased 15%
Dawnblade Attunement of Grace Well of Radiance: Alternate super that creates a healing/buffing field for allies Nerfs Nightstalker Way of the Trapper (Top) Shadowshot: Fires an arrow that damages enemies and debuffs enemies nearby Nightstalker Way of the Wraith (Middle) Flawless Execution: Headshot kills while crouched grant invisibility and truesight - Truesight now lasts 3 seconds (down from 9)
Shattering Strike: After performing a Flawless Execution, your melee attacks have a longer lunge range and weaken enemies - Advanced warning: When we made the change to Flawless Execution this also unintentionally nerfed this ability to only last 3 seconds (it was directly tied to the truesight). We have prepared a fix for the 4.6.1 patch to restore the weaken and lunge range increase to last the entire 9 seconds regardless of truesight and invisibility status.
Instant Reloading Goal: In the beginning, Lunafactions and Rally Barricade did exist, but they were clunky to use. They still had dramatic impact on gameplay even in that state, but eventually we decided to make their effects easier to handle. The problems they introduced always existed in the game, but over time these have become magnified due to new abilities, perks, and weapons introduced into the Destiny 2 sandbox. The impact of something that takes all reloading out of the equation means that other perks or effects like the Hunter's Marksman Dodge or the Sealed Ahamkara's Grasps can simply fall to the wayside – Even swords take a hit in comparison, being one of the few weapons that naturally never needs to reload. Reloading is one of those mechanics that are simple, but have wide ranging consequences. Because the effect on gameplay of removing reloading is inversely proportional to the size of your weapon's magazine and how slow your general reload animations are, weapons like Rocket Launchers and Shotguns can benefit greatly compared to other weapons. This, alongside the increase in general access to damage bonus effects like Well of Radiance left us with the decision to remove this effect from these two sources, as they were causing things to quickly snowball out of control. Titan Rally Barricade - This ability now provides a large increase to reload speed for the duration of the effect
- This ability no longer automatically reloads your weapons from reserves
Warlock Rift/Well of Radiance - Lunafaction Boots now provides a large increase to reload speed for the duration of Well of Radiance
- This exotic no longer automatically reloads your weapons from reserves
Super Energy Regeneration Goal: These changes will reduce the speed with which players are able to earn their super which supports difficulty and reduces the current ability to trivialize certain content through excessively chaining supers. Systemically, we want to reduce base sources of supers on a large macro scale without diminishing the feeling that your actions are gaining you a worthwhile energy boost. By reducing the speed at which you gain super we can make mods and perks feel more worthwhile. We still want it to feel like you can make meaningful progress not only through normal play but by augmenting super energy through teamwork, class choices, gear, and skillful play. New Energy Granted by Super Orbs: - Super Orb: 7.143% (50% reduction)
- Masterwork Orb: 2.5% (50% reduction)
Kills: (25% reduction) - Minor: 0.6%
- Elite: 0.96%
- Mini-boss: 1.8%
- Boss: 3%
- Player: 3%
Assists: (25% reduction) - Minor: 0.3%
- Elite: 0.48%
- Mini-boss: 0.9%
- Boss: 1.5%
- Player: 1.5%
Damage Multipliers Goal: At Destiny 2 launch, damage buffs were fairly sparse – There was Empowering Rift for a small increase, and you could combine it with a weakening effect such as Hammer Strike, but very little else. As time has gone on, we introduced Well of Radiance, Weapons of Light, Guiding Flame, Frontal Assault, etc, and combining these effects has resulted in player damage output far beyond what was previously available. Even with just a small amount of them, a player can go from 1x damage to 3x and beyond, causing there to be an extremely large gap between standard player output and theoretical output. By preventing the larger effects from stacking, we are able to keep each of them around without having to do something in response like raise boss health to compensate for these tactics, as well as create more of them. As an example, Lumina would not have been created in world where the damage bonus effect of Noble Rounds stacked with other damage effects, and these changes are simply an extension along those same lines. While the weakening effects never stacked, we also took a look at them and adjusted their values as many of our more powerful units would simply evaporate when touched by one of them, but we compensated for that in other ways, such as either extending the duration of the effect or in the case of Shadowshot, making it affect power weapons. Player Damage Buffs Enemy Debuffs (Weakened) Reduced Super Damage Resistance Goal: Since the launch of Destiny 2 we have slowly introduced buffs to supers, especially roaming supers. While we believe supers should be powerful they should not be mindless. We want supers to be more risky in both PvE and PvP. We want players to think about positioning and timing more. Not so long ago we experimented with Spectral Blades by lowering the damage resistance substantially. These changes were generally well received and improved the experience of the super for both the person running it and the person who was running from it. In PvE players shouldn't feel like their super makes them invulnerable and casting one should call for situational strategic thinking. In PvP players need to feel like they can challenge a super and that with skillful play there's a chance they can beat it. - Super Damage Resistance removed from masterwork armor
- Inherent Super Damage Resistance lowered by category (see below)
Low- 54% → 49% - Nova Warp
- Thunder Crash
- Blade Barrage
- Nova Bomb
- Well of Radiance
Medium - 56% → 51% High - 60% → 53% - Fist of Havok
- Burning Maul
- Sentinel Shield
- Arc Staff
- Arc Lightning
- Shadowshot
Other (unchanged) - Spectral Blades - 52% / 54.4%
- Golden Gun - 0%
- Chaos Reach - 40%
Ability and Armor General Fixes - Fixed an issue where abilities that dealt lingering damage were dealing higher damage than intended at higher framerates
- This includes abilities such as Nova Bomb, Vortex Grenades, Solar Grenades, Smoke Bombs, Fan of Knives, and Sun Spots
- Fixed an issue where the Hunter's Tempest Strike melee ability couldn't be performed if the Sprint button/key was set to Hold
- Fixed an issue where the increased sustain damage perk of the Stormtrance super would break if a player swapped their sub-class to Chaos Reach and then back to Stormtrance within an activity
- Fixed an issue where the Liar's Handshake perk Cross Counter was intermittently failing to activate and trigger healing
- Sealed Ahamkara Grasps perk Nightmare Fuel will now correctly reload weapons when used in tandem with Knife Trick and the Tractor Cannon
- A Titan's Burning Maul line attack will no longer be blocked and detonate early if they have Telesto projectiles attached to them
- Borealis and Hardlight now match the Prism modifier when changing elements on reload, rotating through Void > Arc > Solar
- The Hunter's Combination Blow ability buff will now correctly be removed when switching sub-classes while the buff is active
- The Phoenix Protocol Hearth perk will no longer award bonus super energy on kills and assists to Warlocks inside a Well of Radiance who do not also have the Well of Radiance (Attunement of Grace) sub-class equipped
- The Enhanced Momentum Transfer perk now displays the correct icon
- The Mad Warden will no longer get frozen in time when destroyed by a Hunter's Golden Gun
Fixed an issue where Warlocks couldn't perform their Well of Radiance super during the reload animation for breach loaded Grenade Launchers - If interrupted, the reload animation will complete after the super is cast
Fixed an issue where allied Golden Gun projectiles weren't going through Banner Shields Fixed an issue where the Queen's Wrath perk for the exotic Wish-Ender bow wasn't correctly highlighting players if their shield was depleted The Warlock's Arc subclass ability 'Pulsewave' buff will no longer clear the Quickdraw perk bonus granted from a weapon upon its expiration The Warlock's 'Alchemical Etchings' perk buffs from Lunafaction Boots will now correctly be removed if/when their Well of Radiance is destroyed Khepri's Sting will no longer consume the owner's melee ability energy charge when hit by a friendly Hunter's smoke bomb Weapon Changes Weapon mods are now treated as reusable unlocks instead of consumables. Any mods you have in your inventory will be converted to unlocks - This gives players the opportunity to play with different mods more frequently
- If the only copy of a mod you have is already in a gun, you will need to reacquire one to unlock it
Minor enemies (Rank-and-File) no longer take more precision damage than other enemies - These enemies previously took twice as much damage to their precision hit locations than enemies of higher ranks
- You will still deal precision damage, but this is now entirely dependent on the weapon, as it is for higher ranked enemies
The amount of time allowed between kills to generate a masterwork orb has been reworked per archetype: - 2.5 seconds for shotguns, hand cannons, scout rifles, machine guns, and pulse rifles
- 3 seconds for auto rifles and trace rifles
- 4 seconds for bows, fusion rifles, rocket launchers, and grenade launchers
- 5 seconds for sniper rifles, linear fusion rifles, sidearms, submachine guns, and swords
Auto Rifles - PvE damage increased between +30% and +25% depending on combatant rank
Bows - PvE damage increased by +31% against minor enemies, and +26% against major enemies
- Fixed an issue where bow draw times were displayed incorrectly in the inspection screen
Hand Cannons - PvE damage against minor enemies increased by 30%
- Lightweight and Adaptive hand cannons use a new firing animation while aiming down sights
- This change was made to increase weapon accuracy when firing these weapons as fast as possible
- Ex: Currently, players can shoot faster than the recoil animation of 140/150 archetypes – so while the Hand Cannon looks to have fully reset from recoil, the following projectile will be shot as if the weapon was still in a recoiled state
- Reduced the effect the range stat has on damage range falloff (effective range) for this weapon archetype
Machine Guns - PvE damage against minor enemies increased by 25%
- Increased the effects of damage range falloff on this weapon archetype
Pulse Rifles - PvE damage against minor enemies increased by 28%
- Increased the effects of damage range falloff on this weapon archetype
- Archetype specific damage changes (impacts both PvE and PvP gameplay)
- Rapid-Fire Pulse Rifles now deal 14/23.8 base/precision damage (Previously 13/21.4)

Scout Rifles - PvE damage increased between +36% and +18% depending on combatant rank
Sidearms - PvE damage increased to minor and major combatants by 16%
Sniper Rifles - PvE damage increased by +47% against minor enemies, +20% for others
- Exotic sniper rifle perk damage bonuses have been modified to compensate for this change and they will not receive the full benefits as a result
Submachineguns - PvE damage increased by 22.5% against minor/major combatants
- Aggressive Frame
- Removed the intrinsic effect of "Deals bonus damage at close range."
- This bonus was 10%, but was unintentionally always active
- The bonus damage has been moved to the base damage for 750 RPM Submachineguns, resulting in no damage change
- As a result, Tarrabah and The Huckleberry gain 10% damage in both PvE and PvP
Exotics Sweet Business - Increased magazine size from 100 to 150.
- Increased PvE damage by 15%.
- High Caliber rounds have been replaced with Armor Piercing rounds.
- Damage changed to 15/21.2 base/precision (Previously 13.21/21.14)
- This weapon no longer requires you to be firing when you pick up ammo to have it automatically reload.
Graviton Lance - PvE damage increased by 30%
Sunshot - Increased magazine size to 12
Vigilance Wing - PvE damage increased by 25%
Crimson - Damage changed to 19/30.5 base/precision (Previously 13.76/24.75)
- Fixed an issue that was causing this weapon to deal higher flinch than intended
Merciless - Fixed the missing aim assist stat for this weapon
Ace of Spades - Memento Mori's damage bonus is now affected by range falloff
Lumina - Noble Rounds should apply their buff to allies more reliably now
The Colony - "Serve the Colony" now functions as Auto Loading Holster does
Perks Subsistence - Reduced the impact of this perk on total reserves
Ricochet Rounds - Removed the hidden bonus to damage falloff
Swashbuckler - Perk now activates when getting a kill with Ball Lightning
Grave Robber - Perk now activates when getting a kill with ranged melee abilities (ie: Ball Lightning, Explosive Knife)
One-Two Punch - Reduced the effectiveness of stacking One-Two Punch and Cross Counter (Liar's Handshake)
- Ex: Players won't be able to defeat Riven in less than three seconds after *Shadowkeep *launches using the combo of One-Two Punch and Liar's Handshake, but we know many of you will try other builds… and potentially even succeed.
Weapon General Fixes - Fixed an issue where AI combatants in Gambit based activities were using PvP values instead of PvE values
- Fixed an issue on Jade Rabbit where parts of the ornament were appearing on the original weapon art
- Fixed an issue where masterworked weapons would sometimes spawn a large amount of orbs off a single kill
- Fixed an issue where killing Vex Harpies with precision damage from Outbreak Perfected wasn't spawning Nanites as expected
- Added missing Thunderlord Killfeed and Obituary icons
- Infusing Thunderlord now correctly requires a destination material (EDZ Dusklight Shards)
Player Identity Systems Triumph Steps Seasonal Artifact Each season there will a new pursuit, the seasonal artifact - For Season of the Undying it is The Gate Lords Eye
At the end of the season the artifact will go away, and be replaced by a new artifact The seasonal artifact has two progressions: - Artifact Power:
- Gain an uncapped bonus to your power by earning XP. Each point of power takes more XP to earn than the last
- Artifact Mods
- Earn up to 12 points by gaining XP
- Spend points to unlock seasonal mods for Armor 2.0
Armor Changes Character Stats - Discipline, Intellect, and Strength stats return from the original Destiny game
- Your Discipline determines your grenade recharge rate
- Your Intellect determines you super recharge rate
- Your Strength determines your melee ability recharge rate
- All stats now go from 0 to 100
- For Discipline, Intellect, and Strength, a stat of 30 is the equivalent recharge rate to the pre-Shadowkeep recharge rate with no mods affecting that recharge rate applied
- A stat of 100 is the equivalent of having 5 of the appropriate recharge rate-affecting mod applied
- Each piece of armor now provides you with contributions to each of your six stats
- Armor that drops in the world, from engrams, and activity rewards have randomized stats
Armor 2.0 - All exotic and legendary armor will drop to use the new armor system
- Armor 2.0 versions of exotic armor pieces can be pulled from your Collection provided you have collected that exotic
All Armor 2.0 armor pieces have an energy type (Arc, Solar, Void) and an energy capacity - Energy capacity can be upgraded by spending currencies and materials, to a maximum of 10
- Armor with 10 energy is considered to be masterworked and provides a +2 bonus to all six character stats
All armor mods have an energy cost and an energy type (Arc, Solar, Void, or Any) - Arc, Solar, and Void mods can only be socketed into armor of the matching energy type; mods with an Any energy cost can be socketed into any armor
Each piece of armor comes with multiple armor mod sockets, into which your mods can be applied A socketed armor mod occupies an amount of the armor's energy capacity equal to the mod's energy cost; you must have enough armor energy available to be able to socket a mod Armor mods are no longer consumable, and are instead unlocked and resuable across all applicable armor pieces once acquired Armor mods can be acquired from gunsmith packages, direct purchase from the gunsmith, world engrams, and pinnacle activity engrams Armor 2.0 mods and pre-Armor 2.0 armor perks do not stack Masterworks - Fully masterworked armor no longer provide bonus damage reduction when using your super
Exotics Ttian - Actium War Rig

Economy Armor Masterworking Costs - Masterworking Armor costs and levels have been updated to include two new materials: Enhancement Prisms and Ascendant Shards
Both these materials can be obtained via the following sources: - Nightfall: The Ordeal rewards
- Purchased from the Gunsmith for a rotating variety of currency and resources
- Other special reward sources such as the Season Pass
Enhancement Prisms and Ascendant Shards are capped at 50 and 10 respectively to limit hoarding, and to keep players unfamiliar with this system from sinking all their resources into a single item Infusion Material Costs - Infusion between two items of any rarity now requires only a single material to complete: Upgrade Modules
Upgrade Modules can be obtained via the following sources: - Each of the Gunsmith Weekly Bounties award one Upgrade Module per week
- Purchased from the Gunsmith for a rotating variety of currency and resources
- Season of Undying free track Season Pass rank rewards
Upgrade Modules are capped at 25 to limit hoarding, and to keep players unfamiliar with this system from sinking all their resources into a single item Discarding an Enhancement Core no longer deletes the entire stack Bright DustBright Dust is now earned by completing Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard weekly and repeatable bounties - We chose to grant all of Bright Dust from ritual weekly bounties rather than spreading it out across the weekly and daily bounties so players could more easily earn Bright Dust without having to make sure they complete every single daily
- Players will be able to do the repeatable bounties as many times as they like
- Any Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard completed bounties need to be turned in before maintenance begins on 9/30 as these changes will reset them; other bounties—Gunsmith, clan, Eververse, etc.—can still be claimed after Oct 1
Eververse items no longer dismantle into Bright Dust, and instead grant legendary shards and glimmer New Eververse items for Season of the Undying will become available for Bright Dust two weeks into the Season Eververse items no longer require Bright Dust to reacquire them(or re-roll perks) from Collections; instead, they cost the same materials that reward items of the same type/rarity use Fireteam Medallions have been removed from the store, deprecated into Fizzled Fireteam Medallions, and can now be dismantled into Bright Dust to recover their purchase price (50 Bright Dust) Gleaming Boon of the Vanguard price has been lowered to 150 Bright Dust Gleaming Boon of the Crucible price has been lowered to 500 Bright Dust Eververse - The Season 7 Best of Year One Engram has been retired, and in its place, players can now obtain the new Season 8 Nostalgic Engram

The Season 8 Nostalgic Engram is no longer earned at level up - Instead, the Bright Engram is now included in the free rewards of the Season Pass that are visible before level 100; it's also awarded every 5 levels after level 100
The Eververse storefront is now available via the Director Eververse bounties (standard and IGR versions) have been deprecated; any remaining bounty notes can be broken down into Bright Dust - You can still complete and turn in any outstanding Eververse bounties until they expire
Glimmer Spider's Exchange Xûr - Xûr's inventory pool and Fated Engram now include world-drop Exotics from Year 2
Universal Ornaments Select armor sets now function as Universal Ornaments. Once unlocked, these ornaments can be used to change the appearance of any Legendary Armor 2.0 item. Note armor items that correspond to converted Universal Ornaments have not been removed from player inventories; already owned armor items still exist in their current state. - All previously purchased Eververse armor pieces will unlock a corresponding Universal Ornament of the same appearance and slot on all Armor 2.0 items
- Past Eververse sets have been converted to Universal Ornaments, and will be available in Silver bundles via the Eververse archive
- Pricing for these bundles will be reduced for each piece in the bundled set already owned on the account
- Seasons 1 and 3 sets will be available when Shadowkeep launches - additional seasonal sets will be added at later dates
Gunsmith Rewards Power and Progression - All non-powerful rewards now drop 3 to 0 points below your highest equippable Power level, up from 15 to 20 below
Year 2 powerful reward sources have changed to Legendary rewards - These sources no longer have a chance to drop a random Exotic instead of the Legendary gear
Bonus Exotics that drop from Nightfall: The Ordeal will drop at the character's highest equippable Power level Under- and over-leveling activities no longer adjust how much Power is received from the rewards Experience no longer fuels a player's character level, which has been changed to be level 50 for all characters - Experience instead progresses the Season Pass, Seasonal Artifact mod, and Power progressions, as well as the unlocking of destinations for new characters
- Experience rewards have been rebalanced with the introduction of the Season Pass and Seasonal Artifact progressions
The Power granted from the Seasonal Artifact is additive with the Power of the player's equippable gear, but does not increase the Power of gear drops All existing gear has had its Power increased to a minimum of 750; new characters will begin Destiny 2 at Power 750 as well The Power bands for Season 8 are as follows - Floor: 750
- Soft Cap: 900
- All drops up to this point will be upgrades to the most powerful item in your inventory or vault
- Beyond this point, only powerful and pinnacle rewards will increase a player's Power
- Powerful Cap: 950
- All non-powerful/pinnacle rewards are capped at 950
- Pinnacle rewards are the only way to raise Power above this point
- Powerful rewards are equivalent to the character's highest-equippable Power beyond this point
- Pinnacle Cap: 960
- This is the highest Power at which gear drops; also known as the "hard cap"
- The Seasonal Artifact bonus Power allows characters to attain values above this level
Prime Engrams - Prime Engrams now gain charges more quickly, drop more frequently, and have a higher maximum charge cap (nine charges, up from six during Year 2)
- The Power gains have been rebalanced for the increased frequency, providing +3 Power, down from a range of +4 to +7

| WARNING: Don't Claim Your Gate Lord's Eye in a Nightfall (or other gear-locked activity)! Posted: 01 Oct 2019 08:42 PM PDT Got to rank 7 and claimed my Seasonal Artifact while I was in a Nightfall and it hasn't been properly added to my character. Looks like I'm locked out of the artifact until this is patched. Image Attached submitted by /u/BunnyBot5000 [link] [comments] |

| Destiny 2 Fanart. Season of the Undying Posted: 01 Oct 2019 05:55 AM PDT I want to congratulate all Destiny fans on the release of the Shadowkeep add-on and present you my illustration on the new Season of the Undying Be brave, Guardians and good luck to you in the vastness of the moon.
https://twitter.com/enkirnd/status/1178917290550714369?s=20 (low res FullHD) https://imgur.com/a/YPxvRdi (high res ~4K) UPD: W-O-W This is just unbelievable. Thanks to everyone and everyone personally for such support. This is very very important to me. I was close to throwing an illustration at all and thought it would be my last work. Friends, I will answer everyone, no matter how long it takes. I apologize if I write in the same way - I am not very good with English and it is often difficult for me to correctly formulate my thoughts. But again. Thanks you. UPD2: Yes, you can use this art as a desktop wallpaper or anywhere for personal purposes and I will be very grateful for that. Please, do not use this art for advertising or commercial purposes. Initially, it was drawn for a large Russian community on Destiny and the guys want to have some uniqueness. Hope for understanding. submitted by /u/enki_rnd [link] [comments] |
| Exotic Engrams hoarded at the Postmaster DO convert to Y3 Shadowkeep Exotics Posted: 01 Oct 2019 11:25 AM PDT |
| Go to the Postmaster if you did not receive the mission titled "Shadowkeep" from Eris when you first talk to her. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 11:30 AM PDT |
| If you own Forsaken don't sleep on the fact that you can access 1-2 Last Wish chests per character per week, even if you don't raid. Bungie mentioned that armor from activities like raids will have a chance at highest tier of stat rolls Posted: 01 Oct 2019 05:43 AM PDT |
| The gameplay content in Shadowkeep so far has been amazing but it’s biggest downfall has already been proven to be a lack of a world loot refresh. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 07:07 PM PDT I'm not here to try and give salt out on Launch day of a new DLC. I love this game and I'm having a blast with shadowkeep so far! However my first world drop being another smugglers word is just putting a downer on my hype, I've played about with these guns for the last year and I have no interest in the world, crucible, gambit and vanguard loot at all. I understand that there is new loot with the Raid and the moon quests etc.. but I feel like for a £30 DLC, there should be a major loot refresh for the year ahead? Also only 3 new exotic armour a bit of a bummer.. but oh well! submitted by /u/StephenLightfoot [link] [comments] |
| You can receive the new leveling items (i.e. the Generalist Ghost Shell, Arcadian Jumpship, etc.) by grinding the final part of the Risk/Reward Quest. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 09:18 PM PDT At the end of the Risk/Reward quest, you'll have to return to the Cosmodrome and kill 3 Captains. During this objective, you can repeatedly kill the Walker and loot the chest to receive the Arcadia Jumpship, the Generalist Shell, and the Khvostov (mine dropped at 888 power!). This is an easier and better alternative than deleting characters and starting anew. submitted by /u/Tekkle [link] [comments] |
| So I went to the farm on a whim... Posted: 01 Oct 2019 09:13 PM PDT |
| Whether We Wanted It Or Not.. Posted: 01 Oct 2019 01:38 PM PDT We've stepped into a war with the queue on Destiny 2: So let's get to taking out their servers, one by one. Bungie HQ. From what I can gather, they command the Shadowkeep and New Light servers from a heavily guarded room just outside of Bungie HQ. they're well protected by the Weasel, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this weasel out, and break their grip on the Servers.. submitted by /u/SantaClauzss [link] [comments] |
