In our Destiny 2 Lightfall review, office Destiny nerd Austin argues that "there is no redeeming this campaign," and that the upcoming raid "had better be a banger" to help redeem the expansion. It's been a shaky launch for Lightfall, as the initial responses to the campaign have not been kind. March 3, 2023īeyond that, we haven't gotten much concrete detail on what to expect from the raid, as Bungie has not provided any more information on its content, story, or rewards – although there does appear to have been a Root of Nightmares leak, so be careful on social media if you don't want to surprises spoiled. Additionally, the legendary shard cost for all Trials, Iron Banner, Crucible, and Adept weapons is getting reduced, so players will have an easier time focusing their engrams.The Root of Nightmares raid's contest mode will feature a 1780 Power cap for all encounters.You have one week to prepare. Starting at the end of January, players will rank up on Iron Banner 40 percent faster, and Iron Banner will be available three times per season instead of just two, making it easier to complete Iron Banner-specific triumphs. There are also other major grind reductions on the way. This change puts everyone on the same playing field and removes one of the biggest hurdles in the game. The old way was a huge deterrent to new players because they weren’t able to create meta builds without the right mods, and there wasn’t a deterministic way to get the mods they needed. You no longer need to check Ada and Banshee’s mod supply every day to find the mods you're missing - you have them all. This past week, every normal, non-raid/adept mod was permanently unlocked for all players. There are other ways Bungie is lowering Destiny 2’s barrier to entry too. If you do all of the normal seasonal content, you can access Grandmaster Nightfalls in Lightfall. No more grinding bounties on the moon to get 40 extra power levels. You get one level of Artifact power for every ten levels you complete on the battle pass, so ten levels, and the last five will come from the XP boosts you get from weekly challenges, which are things you’ll need to be doing anyway, presumably, for the seasonal activity rewards they offer. Any levels after that won’t make you any stronger, so at that point it’s just going to come down to build strategy and raw skill - which is exactly what it always should have been.Īll you have to do to get those 15 levels is complete the battle pass and knock out some of your seasonal challenges. Once you reach the season power cap you can start making Grandmaster attempts, and you only need to increase your 15 levels up to 1,595 in order to reach maximum effectiveness in the activity. This means players will no longer need to grind Artifact levels in order to be Grandmaster ready. The overall power level of Grandmasters is also being reduced by ten levels down to 1,620. Starting in Lightfall, the power level requirement for Grandmasters is being reduced by 25 levels to 1,580, Lightfall’s powerful cap. Thankfully, the first This Week At Bungie of the year answered my prayers. Related: A Destiny 2 Monthly Subscription Might Be Better At This Point
