Destiny 2’s big spooky event is conscionable astir the corner, and Bungie finally teased the caller mech-inspired armor players volition beryllium chasing. Some radical get Ultraman vibes. Others spot Power Rangers. But I’m getting a big dose of Gundam, and I’m ace pumped astir it.
Festival of the Lost goes unrecorded connected October 18, and portion Bungie hasn’t revealed the afloat details connected however this year’s mentation volition work, it traditionally revolves astir wearing masks, shooting haunted enemies, and collecting the abstraction candy that falls retired to commercialized successful for festive goodies. Last year’s taxable was dinosaurs, and it was…fine! This year, players voted for either mechs oregon monsters, and people mechs won (monsters, meanwhile, mislaid for the 2nd twelvemonth successful a row).
The Gundam-ass armor volition beryllium disposable passim Festival of the Lost. Hunters look cool, but the mech-theme intelligibly plays champion with the bulky Titan aesthetic, truthful I volition beryllium dusting excavation disconnected aft a mates seasons successful storage. The lawsuit volition besides adhd a sniper rifle with a caller root perk called Search Party that buff’s purpose and question velocity erstwhile you’re solo. There’s adjacent a caller Rhulk disguise truthful everyone tin formal up arsenic their favourite Witness Disciple.
In the meantime, Bungie also announced immoderate large and tiny changes coming to the remainder of Destiny 2. Next week’s mid-season update volition re-balance a clump of weapons, including buffs to car rifles and immoderate precise insignificant nerfs to a fewer different weapons similar scout rifles. The Rangefinder perk is besides getting tweaked and volition spot 20 percent little bonus aim-assist astatine agelong distances, portion almighty exotics Jade Rabbit and No Time To Explain spot their aim-assist reduced arsenic well.
More importantly, Bungie revealed a large rework of its currency system that volition travel successful Season 19. Planetary Materials are going distant and heroic nationalist events volition beryllium the caller hotspot for farming Glimmer. The thought is to trim immoderate of the sound connected the inventory surface and marque Destiny 2 much approachable for newcomers. While it’s the close move, I inactive deliberation a overmuch deeper overhaul is needed. Glimmer is besides beauteous useless astatine this point.
Yes, it’s required for definite cogwheel upgrades and tin besides bargain other bounties to workplace XP quicker, but it fundamentally feels wholly tangential to the remainder of the experience, dissimilar Legendary Shards which are presently being depleted astatine alarming rates acknowledgment to the costly seasonal Umbral Engram focusing loop. Lightfall, and immoderate different large changes it brings to Destiny 2, can’t travel soon enough. For now, it’s astir Gundam time.
