Destiny 2 Making Major Changes to Exotic Gear Focusing appeared on gamerant.com by Game Rant.
Highlights
- Bungie announces reduced costs for focusing exotic engrams with Rahool in Destiny 2, making it more accessible for all players.
- Bungie plans to update the costs of focusing exotic engrams in response to player feedback and playtime patterns, with different tiers requiring varying amounts of Glimmer, Enhancement Prisms, or Ascendant Shards.
- Season 23 of Destiny 2 will see major changes, including the removal of Legendary Shards, which raises questions about how certain in-game features will be adjusted.
In its latest weekly blog, Bungie announces a reduction in costs needed to focus exotic engrams with Rahool inside of Destiny 2. As a live service title, Bungie has ensured that the popular online shooter Destiny 2 continues to change and evolve beyond the typical cadence of expansions and seasonal content. New tweaks and changes are arriving all the time, with bigger sandbox updates typically reserved for every few months alongside a new season of a big mid-season update.
In fact, Bungie is already planning major changes for Season 23 by removing even more currencies. While players have already seen various currencies and resources removed in seasons past, the latest announcement was a surprising one for longtime players in that Legendary Shards were set to be removed entirely by the start of The Final Shape expansion. Considering this currency is used in so many aspects inside of Destiny 2, there were plenty of questions regarding how Bungie intended to adjust things like buying gear from Xur, pulling gear from vendors like the Monument to Lost Lights, and more.
This week’s “The Week In Destiny” shed more light on this update process with the Cryptarch known as Rahool. In terms of being able to focus exotic engrams with the Tower Vendor, Bungie is adjusting the cost to ensure that acquiring the gear is both fair and achievable for both hardcore players as well as those who may not play quite as much. Initially modeling the prices after Destiny 2‘s Monument to Lost Lights to try and prevent a flood of exotics taking over, the studio has recently seen that most players weren’t actually earning enough Ascendant Shards each week to really interact with this mechanic.
As such, Bungie is planning to update the costs starting with the October 17 weekly reset. To focus an exotic engram to Tier 1, which grants a random exotic from a specific expansion, the updated cost will be 30,000 Glimmer and 10 Enhancement Prisms. Tier 2 focusing, which allows Destiny 2 players to roll for a semi-targeted exotic item, will instead cost players 60,000 Glimmer and 2 Ascendant Shards.
In addition to Rahool, the Gunsmith is also getting a few additional tweaks to the weapons on offer each day. While these changes are set to go live when Season 23 launches later this year, players will be seeing a selection of specific Foundry Weapons that rotate at Banshee-44 each day. Season 23 will be adding Suros, Hakke, Veist, and Omolon weapons from Seasons 16-19, with two foundries on offer each day. With each new season, new gear will be added ensuring that the weapons are always from at least four seasonal releases in the past.
Destiny 2 is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
