Lightfall and the Year Ahead
Game Director, Joe Blackburn released a State of the Game article yesterday giving us insight on what is planned and what to expect with the release of Lightfall and beyond.
Here are some highlights from this article.
SEASONAL CHANGES:
- Glimmer and a seasonal engram will be used to focus an engram instead of Umbrals and Umbrals energies.
- Seasonal engrams will be tracked on seasonal vendors.
- Keys will drop from seasonal activities.
- Keys will be replacing seasonal currency to unlock rewards from the chest at the end of a seasonal activity.
- Keys grant better rewards.
- Keys are not guaranteed to drop every time.
- Less vendor upgrades, but more potent individual upgrades.
WEAPON CRAFTING
- Earn more powerful weapon from long-term sources.
- More non-crafted weapons and raid adepts can be enhanced. This is planned to launch in Season of the Deep (S21).
- Deepsight will only be on locked weapons (if a pattern progress is needed).
- Deepsight Resonance only drops on craftable weapons after Lightfall launches.
- Unlock Deepsight on any craftable locked weapon pattern (expected to arrive with Season of the Deep).
- Resonant and Harmonic Alloys are being removed in a later season.
“Three new features are coming later in the year:
- Weapon enhancing: upgrade an Adept Lightfall raid weapon with enhanced traits, level, and a memento socket. Coming a few weeks after the Lightfall master raid release.
- Deepsight activation: it’s going to be possible to apply Deepsight to a weapon. Coming in Season 21.
- Weapon level boosting: leveling up a weapon will not require equipping it. Coming after Season 21.
- You will still be able to level up crafted weapons the current way if you like.”
CHALLENGE AND DIFFICULTY
- The difficulty knob (baseline damage) is being increased for Vanguard Ops.
- The Battlegrounds playlist in Season of Defiance will use same difficulty setting as Season of the Seraph.
- Damage resistance granted by resilience has been adjusted to 30% damage resistance for Tier 10 resilience.
- Bungie plans to rein in unintentional Power creep.
- The power and difficulty for Neomuna free roam and Vanguard Ops will be similar.
- No power increase in Season 21.
CRUCIBLE
- Countdown returns in Season 20 with a new game mode called Countdown Rush.
- “Players must detonate/defuse both bombs on the map before the round ends.”
- New Crucible Labs mode called Checkmate Control.
- “Weapon damage, ability uptime, and ammo are all adjusted”
- Meltdown returns in Season of the Deep (Season 21).
- New Vex Network map in Season 22.
- Citadel map returns in the last Season before The Final Shape.
- Lobby balancing is planned.
- Improvements to Trials of Osiris rewards and matchmaking structure.
- Plans to improve Competitive Crucible rank up speed.
EXOTIC MISSION ROTATOR
- A new Exotic Mission rotator is coming in Season 22, which will feature Presage, Vox Obscura, and Operation: Seraph’s Shield.
- Bungie hopes to bring back some classic exotic missions in the future.
STRIKES
- Lake of Shadows and Arms Dealer strikes have been refreshed.
- The combat engagement level for these strikes is being updated to be more similar to Lightblade and Proving Grounds.
- Exodus Crash and The Inverted Spire presence will be dramatically reduced in Vanguard Ops, and completely removed from the Nightfall playlist.

COMMEDATIONS AND MORE

The following changes have been made.

- Decreased the overall Power level of Grandmaster activities by 10 to 1620.
- The current Power difference of -25 (all enemies are at least 25 Power above you) is still in effect.

Raid FAQs
- As of Season 22, Crota's End raid is the Pinnacle raid. Which means it drops Pinnacle rewards for each completed encounter every week per character.
- All other raids grant Legendary Gear. All raids continue to drop their exclusive rewards (such as any raid exotics or Timelost weapons).
- Adept weapons for the Vow of the Disciple Master Challenge work on a knockout system and can only be obtained from the weekly Master challenge. After collecting all Adept raid weapons, randomly rolled versions will drop.
With Lightfall and Season 20, Raids now have the following added to modifiers:
- One Overcharged weapon.
- Two Surges.
- No Threat modifier.

Here's a look at crafting changes coming:
- No more Deepsight Attunement objectives
- "If you obtain a Deepsight weapon and just want the pattern progress, you can dismantle it. If you want pattern progress and also want to keep the Deepsight weapon, you will also have the option to immediately obtain the pattern without dismantling the weapon."
- Only locked weapon patterns will drop with Deepsight.
- "When a Deepsight weapon drops after the release of Lightfall, it will signify a reward you will want to engage with immediately, rather than an afterthought you might toss into the vault for later. Deepsight will operate like a checklist – every red border weapon that drops will be pattern progress that can be earned."
- Resonant and Harmonic Alloys will be removed in upcoming seasons.
- Enhance Adept Lightfall raid weapons starting a few weeks after master difficulty for the Lightfall raid releases.
- Activate Deepsight on any craftable weapon pattern (coming in Season 21).
- Leveling a weapon will not require equipping it (coming after Season 21).
- Level crafted weapons the current if preferred.
