TWAB Highlights
Grandmaster Changes
The following changes start next week, January 17.
- Decreased the Power level needed to enter Grandmasters by 25 to 1580 (the powerful cap).
- 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.
“This means you can enter at 1580, but enemies will be 40 Power above you. You can use Artifact Power and/or pinnacle drops to increase effectiveness up to 1595, where you reach maximum effectiveness.”
Iron Banner
Changes start when Iron Banner returns for the final time this Season, January 31.
- Iron Banner Rank earned at the end of matches increased.
- Multipliers from wearing Iron Banner gear and emblem increased.
- Multipliers for completing challenges has been halved (Not sure if this is correct or an error).
Bungie expects these changes to decrease the number of games needed to earn a Rank reset by around 40%.
Starting next Season, Iron Banner will be available three times each Season, and an Iron Banner emblem will be available on the Rewards track (from the first reset for those who don’t already have one).
Mods for Everyone!
All standard armor mods are available and unlocked for everyone! Standard mods refer to everything but raid and artifact mods. Bungie wanted to give everyone a chance to enjoy these mods in their current state for the rest of the Season because big changes are coming to buildcrafting in Lightfall.
NOTE: Players who were granted access to armor mods in yesterday’s patch will not have them appear as unlocked in Collections. They can still use them freely in their armor.
Focusing Weapons and Armor
Starting next week, the cost of focusing weapons and armor will have some changes.
- Focusing costs for all Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, Crucible, and Gambit weapons and armor will be reduced to 25 Legendary Shards (down from 50).
- Adept weapon focus cost will also be reduced to 50 (down from 250).
- The Glimmer cost of focusing regular ritual weapons has been reduced to 5,000 (down from 10,000.)

SAVE YOUR STADIA CHARACTERS
“As of Tuesday, January 10, players are no longer able to access Destiny 2 from the Stadia platform. Destiny 2 players whose main characters are from Stadia should set up Cross Save with another platform so they do not lose access to their characters after the full platform shutdown on January 18, 2023.
Additionally, after January 18, players with Google Stadia as their primary account should not deactivate Cross Save for any reason. Doing so will result in players completely losing access to their characters.”
More info and help: Save Your Stadia Characters article.
Stadia players who encounter issues accessing their characters once they set up Cross Save should see Bungie’s Stadia Cross Save Troubleshooting Guide.
