Destiny 2’s massive spooky occasion is simply across the nook, and Bungie lastly teased the brand new mech-inspired armor gamers shall be chasing. Some folks get Ultraman vibes. Others see Power Rangers. But I’m getting a giant dose of Gundam, and I’m tremendous pumped about it.

Festival of the Lost goes dwell on October 18, and whereas Bungie hasn’t revealed the total particulars on how this 12 months’s model will work, it historically revolves round sporting masks, taking pictures haunted enemies, and gathering the house sweet that falls out to commerce in for festive goodies. Last 12 months’s theme was dinosaurs, and it was…effective! This 12 months, gamers voted for both mechs or monsters, and naturally mechs gained (monsters, in the meantime, misplaced for the second 12 months in a row).
The Gundam-ass armor shall be obtainable all through Festival of the Lost. Hunters look cool, however the mech-theme clearly performs greatest with the cumbersome Titan aesthetic, so I shall be dusting mine off after a pair seasons in storage. The occasion can even add a sniper rifle with a brand new origin perk known as Search Party that buff’s intention and motion velocity if you’re solo. There’s even a brand new Rhulk masks so everybody can gown up as their favourite Witness Disciple.

In the meantime, Bungie additionally introduced some massive and small adjustments coming to the remainder of Destiny 2. Next week’s mid-season replace will re-balance a bunch of weapons, together with buffs to auto rifles and a few very minor nerfs to some different weapons like scout rifles. The Rangefinder perk can be getting tweaked and can see 20 % much less bonus aim-assist at lengthy distances, whereas highly effective exotics Jade Rabbit and No Time To Explain see their aim-assist diminished as effectively.

More importantly, Bungie revealed a giant rework of its forex financial system that can are available in Season 19. Planetary Materials are going away and heroic public occasions would be the new hotspot for farming Glimmer. The thought is to cut back among the noise on the stock display and make Destiny 2 extra approachable for newcomers. While it’s the proper transfer, I nonetheless assume a a lot deeper overhaul is required. Glimmer can be fairly ineffective at this level.
Yes, it’s required for sure gear upgrades and can even purchase further bounties to farm XP faster, nevertheless it principally feels fully tangential to the remainder of the expertise, not like Legendary Shards that are presently being depleted at alarming charges due to the costly seasonal Umbral Engram focusing loop. Lightfall, and no matter different massive adjustments it brings to Destiny 2, can’t come quickly sufficient. For now, it’s virtually Gundam time.
