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.

Read more the Enhanced Weapon Crafting for more details.

Season 20 Ritual Weapon

A new Void Glaive called, Ecliptic Distaff is coming to Destiny 2 in Season 20. It will come with brand new perks: Replenishing Aegis and Destabilizing Rounds. Here’s a look a the ornaments for this weapon: 


Destiny x Steelseries

A new Limited Edition Destiny 2: Lightfall collection from SteelSeries is available now for a limited-time!

Here’s what is available:

All purchases include the exclusive in-game cosmetics: the Viral Celebration emote and Luminescent Precision emblem, these items were specially designed for the Destiny x SteelSeries collab.

NOTE: The Kontrol Freek Thumbsticks may only include the emblem, I am working on confirming this


TWAB Highlights

Character Boost Change

Once Lightfall launches, players will see one of two types of boosts on their character screen depending on their progress:  

  1. Lightfall Character Boost
    1. Appears when you hit soft cap with one character but have not completed Lightfall 
    2. This boost provides the selected character with a set of high Power level gear 
    3. This boost does not skip the campaign 
  2. Lightfall Campaign Skip Boost
    1. Appears when you complete Lightfall 
    2. Skips the Lightfall campaign for your selected character and unlocks Strand 
    3. This only includes a set of high Power level gear if your main character has hit the Soft Cap 

If you haven’t reached the Soft Cap or completed the Lightfall campaign, neither Character Boost will be available.

NOTE:

  • The Lightfall Campaign Skip Boost does unlock Strand.
  • Players will not receive rewards that are normally earned through playing the campaign when using the Lightfall Campaign Skip Boost.
  • Skipping the campaign will not count as completing Legendary mode or any post-campaign missions.
  • Triumphs will still require mission completion.

Lightfall 24-hour Downtime

Destiny 2 will be OFFLINE for 24 hours for Lightfall preparation.

OFFLINE: February 27 at 9 AM PST (5 PM UTC)

  • Ongoing activities will end. 
  • Players will be returned to the title screen. 
  • Pre-loading for Lightfall on all platforms will become available. 

ONLINE: February 28 at 9 AM PST (5 PM UTC)

  • Players will be able to log back in once downtime concludes at 9 AM PST (-8 UTC), February 28. 

Bungie Rewards Deadline

Players will not be able to claim or purchase Bungie Rewards during the 24-hour downtime for Lightfall’s launch. Any expiring rewards for Season 19 and The Witch Queen must be claimed before downtime starts at 9 AM PST on February 27, 2023.

Playstation Pre-Load

“PS4 players, and PS5 players using the PS4 version of Destiny 2, who are looking to pre-load Lightfall should make sure that they have about ~80 GB of free space for an additional install package to be downloaded on top of the existing Destiny 2 ones. The old packages will be removed once Lightfall launches, but during the 24-hour downtime, both versions will need to be in storage for the pre-load to succeed.” 

Bungie Marketing Emails

If you are experiencing any issues with getting Bungie marketing emails, follow the steps in Bungie’s Troubleshooting Marketing Email issues help article.

“If these steps do not resolve the issues, players should submit a help request using the contact form linked in the article. This form is only dedicated to opting players into receiving Bungie’s marketing emails.” 

Destiny Content Vault Update

Activities include:

  • Ketchcrash
  • Expeditions
  • Hideouts

Information below is from the following articles: TWAB Enhancing Weapon Crafting

Craftable in Season 20

  • Seasonal weapons. 
  • Neomuna weapons. 
  • Base raid weapons 
  • Plus, a handful of other weapons that don't have direct comparisons to TWQ sources. 

Craftable in Season 21 and beyond

  • Seasonal weapons.
  • Raid reprise weapons. 

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.
