Destiny 2’s Next Update Raises Power Cap, Tons Of Handy Tweaks

By ESR on 6 decembrie 2019

The Season of Dawn is almost here in Destiny 2, and as is usually the case with a new content season, Bungie is making a bunch of changes and additions to the game with an update that also adds its new activities. We already knew that Dawn would see tweaks to various character subclasses, but now we have a better sense of what else will change when the new season drops on Tuesday, as well.

  • Destiny 2’s Next Update Raises Power Cap, Tons Of Handy Tweaks

    The developer dropped the details in its This Week at Bungie blog post, giving a sense of everything we can expect from the update. First and foremost is the tweak that will affect players as they climb toward the endgame: the Power cap. That’s the overall rating of your character’s strength based on the gear you possess. In the current season, the Season of the Undying, the soft Power cap is 950, which is only accessible by getting weekly “Powerful” gear drops for completing certain activities. The hard Power cap, the highest you can get your gear in Undying, is 960, and it requires you to complete the toughest endgame content, like the Garden of Salvation raid, to receive “Pinnacle” drops. In the Season of Dawn, the soft cap rises to 960, while the hard cap will reach 970.

    Now Playing: Destiny 2: Shadowkeep – Returning To The Moon

    Bungie is also introducing a bunch of useful quality-of-life changes to Destiny 2 alongside the new season, and one major one is a change to how Exotic Engrams work. These are rare, random drops you get as you play the game that give out Exotic weapons and armor, the best and most unique stuff in Destiny 2. Right now, Exotic Engrams give a random Exotic item (not including the ones you need to earn by completing specific quests or activities). Meanwhile, you can buy Fated Engrams from Xur, Destiny 2’s weekend Exotics vendor, which gives you an Exotic you don’t already have for that particular character class.

    In the Season of Dawn, Exotic Engrams and Fated Engrams become the same thing. When you receive an Exotic Engram while playing the game normally, it’ll no longer just dish out a random item–it’ll give you something you don’t already have for that character. Once you have everything available to that specific character class, the engrams will once again drop random Exotic armor. That should make it a lot easier to fill up your collection without a struggle, while still allowing you to try to find the best possible stats for your Exotic armor over time.

    Bungie’s making some changes to bounties with the new season that will make leveling up and earning certain rewards a little easier, too. The Gunsmith will now offer repeatable bounties, and his weekly bounties for completing Crucible, Strike, and Gambit matches will be simplified so that you don’t have to do each activity every week. A bunch of Crucible bounties will have easier-to-fulfill requirements as well.

    There are a lot more little tweaks coming with the Season of Dawn, according to Bungie–including some improvements to the Eververse store that will make the premium currency store more transparent. Check out the full list of changes below.
