The mid-season update is coming next week.

It brings a lot with it including our first experimental PvE mode Vault Breaker and a fresh batch of balance and progression updates.

Let’s get into it.

Experimental PvE Mode: Vault Breaker

Vault Breakers utilize hit-and-run tactics to master the secrets of the Marathon’s Cryo Archive. They travel light and target the Archive’s many vaults in search of valuable loot and deeper access throughout the deck.

Vault Breakers’ strategic deployments challenge the UESC’s jurisdiction aboard the Marathon—applying constant pressure to defend the zone against Runner incursions. They strike during “quiet” moments—while rival crews are focused on Tau Ceti IV—to keep the UESC off guard and to maneuver with more focus, free of the chaos of a contested zone.

When Update 1.1.5 arrives on July 21, the Vault Breaker mode will open its doors and send Runners into Cryo Archive for Marathon’s first experimental PvE mode. You can jump in straight away, whether you’re running Solo, as a Duo, or with a full Trio - and that’s true regardless of your Runner Level.

Vault Breaker offers a roguelite PvE experience inside Cryo Archive, where you’ll take on progressively tougher Vaults across multiple runs. You’ll acquire Vault Data to upgrade your special Sponsored Kit (more details below), or spend that progress on gear in the new Vault Breaker Armory that features weapons, items, and more that you can bring back to your other adventures across Tau Ceti.

Note: All items and gear found in-run are restricted from exfil except event currency and rewards will only be available during the event period, so best to prioritize room for Vault Data and of course, items essential for you to make it to exfil.

Vault Breaker is our very first experimental PvE mode. We're excited for you all to jump in and check it out, and we can't wait to gather up all of your feedback and data as we continue to work towards our full PvE mode, arriving in Season 3.

Vault Breaker begins with Update 1.1.5 on July 21st and runs through August 4th.

Vault Breaker Armory

The update also brings changes to the Armory tab, including a new Vault Breaker Armory option under the Event section.

Each run, you’ll earn Vault Data, a special event currency that can be spent in the Vault Breaker Armory to upgrade the special Sponsored Kit for stronger PvE runs, or to purchase items and gear that can be used outside the event.

There are two tiers of Vault Data to earn:

• Tier 1 Vault Data can be found in Vaults and then needs to be exfilled.
  • Tier One Vault Data is also awarded for killing a UESC Commander, and that reward is granted post-run whether you successfully exfil or not.
• Tier 2 Vault Data can only be earned from consecutive Vaults solved in the same run and then successfully exfilled. You’ll need to manage your time and routes wisely. This will be especially tough for solo Runners.

VB_Armory_1920x1080.jpg

Armory Offers

The Armory features a variety of gear and items, including a daily rotating Deluxe weapon, Cryo Key Templates, Prestige Weapons, and more. It’s worth noting that some pinnacle rewards stock will remain fixed in number throughout the full event.

Here’s a quick look at how the weekly rotation breaks down:

• Weekly Offers
  • Tier 1 Vault Data items will have limited weekly stock, depending on the item, with either 3x or 5x available per week.
  • Tier 2 Vault Data items will include higher-tier rewards with 1x limited stock per week, or players can convert that currency to Tier One at 5x per week.
• Limited Offers
  • Prestige gear will be available and you can grab one of each during the event. Grab them while you can.

Note: Purchases made from the Weekly and Limited Offers apply only to standard Marathon activities. Only Kit Upgrades will alter your loadout in Vault Breaker.

Unique Sponsored Kit & Upgrades

To access Vault Breaker, you’ll need to equip the free special Sponsored Kit found in the Vault Breaker Armory tab under the Events section.

This Sponsored Kit won’t be in its final form when you first grab it. At the start, the kit is at its weakest, offering only one standard weapon along with a small amount of equipment and consumables.

As you earn Vault Data, different upgrade paths will begin to open.

You might want to focus on weapon quality. Others may want more survivability, or they may want to get started with a wider mix of implants and cores. The path is entirely up to you.

And of course, Cradle and Faction upgrades will also be enabled for the event.

Crews and Queues

Looking to test yourself against the dangers of Cryo? We’ve got a Solo queue waiting for you. It’s you against the UESC, and you’re unfortunately on their turf.

Want to bring some backup or learn Cryo alongside your friends? As always, worry not, we’ll have Duos and Trios – both for matchmade and pre-made Crews.

And to commemorate your time aboard the UESC Marathon as you try to break some vaults, there’s unique Codex challenges that will reward you with some cosmetics to show off to your fellow-Runners.

Codex Challenges and Rewards

VB_Codex_Screenshot_1920x1080.jpg

There will be 4 unique Vault Breaker Codex challenges available that award cosmetics:

• Profile Emblem - Opposition marker
• Profile Background – UESC Command
• Circuit Breaker Weapon Style – UESC Bulwark
• Weapon Charm – USEC Control

Sandbox and Update Highlights

WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT

Howdy, Weapons & Equipment team here, and we're here to highlight a couple of changes coming in the Mid-Season Update. This will not be every change in the update but we wanted to put a few of these in front of you early, perhaps to prepare your vaults just in case.

AN AGENT OF CHAOS RETURNS

Back from the timeout corner, the WSTR is indeed getting buffed - though not quite back to its former glory. Let's dive right in:

• WSTR Combat Shotgun
  • Damage increased from 85 to 100
  • Reduced precision bonus multiplier from 1.05x to 1.0x
  • Increased spread by 20% across all stat tiers
  • Reduced aim assist falloff start at the top end by 30%
  • Retuned stat tiers to compensate
  • Reduced aim assist falloff end at the top end by 12%
  • Retuned stat tiers to compensate
  • Reduced magnetism falloff by ~10%
  • Reduced minimum damage percentage at max falloff from 20% to 10%
  • Retuned damage falloff across all tiers:
  • 2HKO range with a grey WSTR against base shields: 3 meters
  • 2HKO range with a grey WSTR against purple shields: 2 meters
  • 2HKO range with a max invested WSTR against base shields: 7 meters
  • 2HKO range with a max invested WSTR against purple shields: 4 meters

First off we are removing all precision damage bonus multipliers from ballistic shotguns - the Misriah will also inherit this change, leaving Circuit Breaker as the only shotgun to receive a precision damage bonus. We feel that this better matches their identity as burst damage options that are about putting as many pellets on target as possible instead of the head.

While the WSTR is regaining its 2-shot down potential, it's now extremely range limited. Through buildcrafting, it is possible to extend this range just a bit. We are excited to see how this plays out as it is somewhat of a middle ground between the menace that the gun was at launch and where it is today. The WSTR has a deserved reputation for terror, so we will be watching this closely. And of course, the Misriah will receive some much-needed adjustment on the 21st as well. Look forward to the full patch notes for details!

ABOUT THE SPICY HANDGUN

It's safe to say the D54 Battle Pistol made a wild impression in its Tau Ceti IV debut. We're happy that people are enjoying the gun's feel and identity, but we are also aware that maybe it's a tad out of band. Here's the Mid-Season Update balance changes for the Battle Pistol:

• D54 Battle Pistol
  • Reduced precision bonus multiplier from 1.5x to 1.38x
  • Reduced damage falloff range minimum and maximum across all stat tiers by 10%
  • Maximum 100 Range stat damage falloff minimum goes from 38 meters to 34 meters.
  • Maximum 100 Range stat damage falloff maximum goes from 72 meters to 64 meters.

This seems like a small series of changes but this change means the D54 Battle Pistol requires 3 precision bursts to down a Grey Shield Runner, up from 2 Bursts, and 4 bursts to down a Purple Shield Runner, up from 3 bursts. In our playtesting, we believe that time for the extra burst has had a tangible effect on bringing the Battle Pistol in line with other weapons.

ONE GRENADE FOR EACH HAND

Starting with the Mid-Season Update we are making a dramatic change to how some throwables work prior to infilling to a run. On July 21st, Runners trying to load into a map will find themselves with an error preventing them to launch if they are holding more than the restricted limit of certain equipment in their backpack.

To start, we are limiting Runners to only bring any combination of 2 Bubble Shields, Chem Grenades, EMP Grenades, Flechette Grenades, Frag Grenades, and Heat Grenades. This means you can only bring in 2 Frag Grenades at the start of a run, or maybe 1 Frag Grenade and 1 Bubble Shield. Either way, any items on this list will be limited to a combination of 2. While in a run, any additional grenades on this list that are scavenged are fair game.

This new infil restriction has two purposes: reduce the efficacy of AOE grenade spam and reduce the prevalence of Bubble Shields. We think grenades are in a good place damage-wise, but feedback is clear that spam is still an issue on Cryo and that Bubble Shields are flattening high level combat.

We may change the items on this list or the infil limit number in the future so please give us feedback on how this new system is working out!

IMPLANT ICONOGRAPHY UPDATE

Thanks to your feedback we've continued iterating on the iconography on your Implants. They should be easier to understand at-a-glance, but as always - let us know how you like them! Check them out when the full update hits next week.

In the meantime, here's a quick preview:

VB_Implant_Update_1920x1080.jpg

CRADLE EVOLUTION SYSTEM

Ever since the Cradle arrived you've all been diving in head-first, sacrificing a tremendous number of your exfilled wares to the WEAVEworms. To that end, we've gone ahead and reverted the 25% reduction Cradle progress so you can continue to bolster your buildcrafting. Mid-season also brings the first iteration of the Cradle Evolution system. Upon maxing out your Cradle, you’ll now be able to reset back to zero to earn one additional maximum Energy point and unlock unique cosmetics, including multiple Runner shell styles.

Stay cool out there

We can't wait for you to hop on in and see what we've cooked up.

Vault Breaker, which runs from July 21st through August 4th, is our first foray into an experimental PvE mode, and our ears will be to the ground listening for your feedback that will help us continue to iterate as we continue to evolve PVE into Season 3. Make sure to drop by our Discord, send an @ to our Twitter or Bluesky, and of course be sure and drop by the Reddit.

First up, mid-season will start on July 21 and it will include the following updates.

Introducing Vault Breaker

Marathon's experimental PVE mode: Vault Breaker. Explore Cryo Archive as a crew, duo, or a solo player, taking on a progressively challenging series of vaults. Grow stronger across multiple matches with progression that’s unique to Vault Breaker, and push towards the final vault and the mysterious entity within.

Vault Breaker requires a special Sponsored Kit to queue up, and any gear or items you find stay behind when you exfil. The exception to this is Vault Data. This new currency is found within vaults, and when extracted, can be exchanged for upgrades to your Vault Breaker Sponsored Kits as well as gear that can be used in other modes. This let’s you experience Cryo Archive without flooding the economy with low-risk, high-power Cryo loot.

Cradle Evolution System

Mid-season also brings the first iteration of the Cradle Evolution system. Upon maxing out your Cradle, you’ll now be able to reset back to zero to earn one additional maximum Energy point and unlock unique cosmetics, including multiple Runner shell styles. These cosmetics will be available later in the season, but if you unlock them ahead of time, you’ll automatically receive them once they’re available. With this change, Cradle progression speeds will also be increased.

More to come!

On top of Vault Breaker and the Cradle Evolution system, we have other various other quality-of-life, tuning, and other changes, including the addition of player profile stats. We'll share more details when we get closer to release.

Season 3 Begins September 22

Looking further ahead, Season 3 will begin on September 22 and brings big changes to the early game experience, including a revamp of Perimeter to add major new areas, encounters, and gameplay. Season 3 also introduces a new Runner shell, new weapons and equipment, and lots of other content and surprises.

We’ll share more details about mid-season, including a full rundown on Vault Breakers, and our Season 3 plans as we get closer to their live dates.

This week in Destiny, we’re sharing the newest Community Challenge and its reward emblem, celebrating the release of the Monument of Triumph soundtrack on streaming platforms, and going over the previously shared Update 9.7.0.1 patch notes you may have missed!

• Introducing our next Community Challenge
• Monument of Triumph’s soundtrack is now streaming available...
• The Traveler graces your lock screen with its presence
• Revisiting the patch notes for Update 9.7.0.1

Let’s jump right in!

Community Challenge: Excision, Ergo Sum

We have one more Community Challenge ready for you all, Guardians. It's time to relive the final battle against The Witness one more time. Complete the Excision story mission on Normal or Grandmaster difficulty to add to a community goal of 250,000 total completions. Grandmaster completions will count sevenfold because Bungie number, plus it’s harder! Also, Excision on Grandmaster rewards the Ergo Sum catalyst, a fine prize in its own right that some Guardians may not have obtained yet. So, what better opportunity to earn it than during a time of celebration when new and veteran players are enjoying Monument of Triumph?

If the community goal is met in seven days (sensing a theme here?), all Guardians who have completed Excision at least once during the Community Challenge will receive the Intrepid Pearl emblem. Bungie fans and old-timers will tell you why this one is special. We’ll share updates on the community’s progress on socials during the week.

Intrepid_Pearl_1920x1080.jpg

Here's a complete rundown of the rules and requirements to participate in this Community Challenge. While some of these may be obvious, we want to list all the details to be thorough.

Duration

• Starts: Thursday, June 18 at 11:00 AM PT
• Ends: Thursday, June 25 at 11:00 AM PT

Activity

• Story Mission: Excision
• Difficulty: Normal (+1 completion) or Grandmaster (+7 completions)
• Community Goal: 250,000 total completions

Other Considerations

• Fireteam: Twelve players are recommended.
  • Fireteam members can join mid-activity.
  • Join In Progress clears do count towards the community goal.
  • Only fireteam members who complete the activity will count as having contributed to the community goal and qualify for the emblem.
• Each player who completes the Excision story mission contributes to the community goal, meaning a 12-player Normal difficulty completion counts as 12 completions while 12-player Grandmaster difficulty completion counts as 84 completions.
• Matchmaking is available on Normal Excision but not on Grandmaster Excision, which is available in Fireteam Finder.

As with previous Community Challenges, we will be tracking completions with support from the Analytics Team. Emblems earned during the Community Challenge will be granted no later than 30 days after the challenge ends on June 25.

Good luck, Guardians!

Update 9.7.0.1 Patch Notes

While last week’s patch notes detailed all the ways in which the dev team poured their heart and souls into making Destiny 2 a rewarding place for Guardians to always return to, this week’s Update 9.7.0.1 centered around fixing major bugs and issues that impeded the gameplay experience. We worked to refine as much as we could so you could keep coming back to the game in the best state it could be in.

This week in Destiny, we launched Monument of Triumph, our last live service update for the best game ever made, aka Destiny 2. We hope you had fun and that you could reunite with old friends, whether they are old raid bosses that have been away for far too long or weapons reprised with all the love in the world. There were new friends coming to the party, too. Don't you love surprises?

Pantheon Gauntlet Opens Saturday

You've seen the two activities available at launch and may have noticed a difference between them – other than their unique lineup of bosses. Calus Resplendent features reprised encounters. Meaning they are largely as they originally were, but with changes to modernize the mechanics, and tuning of combat and bosses to fit into the current gameplay meta. Continuing in the musical theme, each encounter in Golgoroth Surpassing is an encore. Each encore combines two previously separate encounters, one with a boss and one without, into a new experience that requires new strategies and coordination to overcome.

This Saturday, a third REDACTED activity will unlock and challenges players to take on the full gauntlet of reprised and encore bosses. To earn the Godsbane title, intrepid fireteams need to complete 11 out of the 12 available triumphs, 3 of which are in this new activity, each rewarding unique emblems. For example, the Total Revolution triumph requires completing the gauntlet with five feats active to earn its emblem.

Pantheon_II_Key_Art_Encore_Reprised_1920x1080.jpg

Knowing that the full gauntlet may be intimidating for some fireteams and to provide a means to focus your gear pursuits, a rotation will begin featuring the Pantheon bosses next Tuesday at reset. One reprised and one encore encounter will be featured each week giving players direct access to that boss and its rewards.

Trials of Osiris Returns on June 12

Trials of Osiris is returning for the very first time after Monument of Triumph and it now works a bit differently. Instead of a map and just one featured weapon, players will be facing each other on three maps each weekend. As for the weapon, all Trials weapons will be dropping every weekend, but you can attune on your Inventory for a higher chance to get the reward you want. Lastly, we have a brand-new Trials of Osiris Armor set available to earn, check it below.

New Player Guide Updated for Monument of Triumph

Whether you are a lapsed player coming back for Monument of Triumph or you are a new player wondering what all the buzz is about, our New Player Guide will come in handy if you get a bit lost in all the systems that make Destiny 2 such a deep, complex, and intriguing game. We've been working on updating so all the many changes coming with Monument of Triumph are covered by it, including one new section that focuses on returning players jumping into the game right as the update goes live.

Zavala.jpg

While we don't cover everything on this guide, we still believe is a good starting point or that it might help you answer some of your questions. Go check it here. Additionally, we also have many articles in our Player Support section of Bungie Help that will also help you if you are stuck or don't understand a specific part of the game. Go here to check it out.

Monument of Triumph FAQ

Our dear friends on the Social Media Team put together a fantastic thread covering a lot of questions both new and returning players may have about Monument of Triumph. You can read it in this thread on Twitter, but also as the last chapter of the aforementioned New Player Guide.

Q) I haven’t played in a while. Are my old weapons and armor still usable?

A) Your previous gear is a great starting point for getting back into Destiny 2. As you continue to play, you will earn new and higher Tiered gear that has increased stats, Armor Set Bonuses, and weapons with additional perks to select. This will help you to push past the limitations of your older gear. Keep anything that you enjoy using but be open to replacing gear as your Power Level grows.
Q) I haven’t played since before The Edge of Fate, what is the best way to level up and increase my power?\

A) Freshly returning Guardians will start at 10 Power, but loot will drop at 300+ Power as a quick catch-up method -- we removed the catch-up chest in favor of natural drops! Pay close attention to the rewards that each activity grants to optimize your Guardian’s Power gain, as various activities and their respective difficulties reward different amounts of gear Power.

Q) Where can I find other people to play with?

A) Check out Fireteam Finder, our in-game LFG (looking for group) tool. You can access it from the roster screen.

Give it a look and let us know what you think!

Revisiting the Update 9.7.0 Patch Notes

Oh, were these long! At a record-breaking 17,000+ words, the Destiny 2 Update 9.7.0 patch notes went live on Tuesday and covered everything the Monument of Triumph update brings to the game. The dev team poured their hearts and their brains to leave the game in the best state possible as we end its active development. While we will have some minor bug fix patches and hotfixes, this update is the last "big one”. So, in case you missed them the other day, here they are so you can give them the proper sendoff.

D2_Zeus_MoT_16x9_COMPRESSED.jpg

Recent Known Issues List

Old Light Emblem

On Tuesday, our first wave of players received their Old Lights emblem. However, the in-game message sharing the location was incorrect: players should look for this emblem in Collections > Flair > Account.

While many players have received this emblem already, there will be more waves for distribution over the next several weeks, so fret not if you qualify and haven’t received it yet.

Additionally, we wanted to reshare how we are determining eligibility for the Old Lights emblem and the Elemental Qi emote (which will appear in Special Deliveries). Players whose Bungie Account and linked platform accounts that logged in and played Destiny 2 at least once during the following time periods will qualify for the emblem and emote:

• ⚪ Destiny 2 Launch: September 6, 2017 - September 3, 2018
• 🪦 Forsaken: September 4, 2018 - September 30, 2019
• 🌕 Shadowkeep: October 1, 2019 - November 9, 2020
• 🧊 Beyond Light: November 10, 2020 - February 21, 2022
• 👑 Witch Queen: February 22, 2022 - February 27, 2023
• ❇️ Lightfall: February 28, 2023 - June 3, 2024
• 🔺 The Final Shape: June 4, 2024 - July 14, 2025
• 👁️ The Year of Prophecy: July 15, 2025 - June 8, 2026

For our Korean Guardians, we are also ensuring that you will qualify for the emblem if you began playing during Shadowkeep.

Pantheon

• Calus can get locked in an animation before teleporting players, causing the encounter to soft-lock.

Sparrow Racing League

• Match completions are not automatically completing orders as expected.

Renegades

• Entering the exit Hawk backwards in Lawless Frontier activities prevents use of gunner turret.

• Players in Operation: Seraph's Shield are being killed when taking the elevator, blocking progress through the activity.
• Players can get soft-locked in Savathun's Spire during the shielded Ogre encounter.
  • This can occur if players clear out all 3 Bells immediately as the destructibles around them spawn. Players are advised to wait a moment before progressing this objective.
• Players can be blocked from progressing Kell's Fall if they are killed during the final boss fight and respawn behind the closed door.
• The Ketchcrash activity can become soft-locked by enemies spawning stuck behind doors.

Abilities

• The Howl of the Storm Titan Aspect is temporarily disabled.
  • This is due to an issue causing it to deal extremely high damage when paired with Golden Gun. This aspect will be re-enabled once a fix is deployed.
• Solar Warlock movement while Heat Rises is active is currently performing worse than intended.
• The On Your Mark aspect description incorrectly states that it applies Cure.
  • Final blows while at ten stacks apply Restoration.

And that will do it for this TWID following the launch of Monument of Triumph! The whole team has been eagerly watching your journeys through Sol as you explore the latest changes and additions we’ve made to Destiny 2. We’re also keeping a close eye on what needs some extra tweaks and still have a few days ahead of us as we check fixes, squash bugs, as prepare to deploy Update 9.7.0.1 next week to address them. This incremental patch is slated to go live Tuesday with patch notes delivered in advance on the day.

As a reminder from our Monument of Triumph announcement article, we will be continuing TWIDs for a few weeks following launch to keep you informed of game news. Once we're through our launch window, our weekly blog entries will be entering a form of hibernation as well. This won't be the end of communications from us by any means; we'll still be keeping in touch with you and sharing community highlights through our website, social media channels, Discord, and other outlets.

Speaking of game news, the Vanguard is receiving reports that Dredgen Bael is attempting to seize a Weapon of Sorrow discovered on the Moon. Go make sure that doesn’t happen, Guardians.

Before we dig into our final slate of patch notes (which is over 17,000 words...), a message from the Destiny 2 Dev Team:

Hey, all. Welcome to our final patch notes article for Destiny 2. Well, that's a bit of a fib. We'll still have a few maintenance patches and smaller hotfixes after today... but this is our final major patch for Destiny 2.

It's been an incredible ride. Thousands of patch notes shipped. A ridiculous amount of bugs squashed (released AND unreleased). Hundreds of typos fixed after publish (our bad...). Countless hours in triage meetings looking to do what's best by our players. Years of overnight shifts in the BNOC (formerly DOC). All for you.

There were a few things that were unrelated... like emails about snacks missing from the studio kitchen or messages to our IT team apologizing for forgetting our passwords for the fifth time in a calendar year, but that's beside the point.

Thank you for showing up with each release. Thank you for kicking down the doors and putting the servers under stress. Thank you for every bug uncovered and reported. Thank you for your patience (even if it was sometimes thin) while we dug into connection issues, crashing bugs, anteaters, weasels, guitars, or other hiccups along the way. Destiny wouldn't be what it is without every single one of you, and we will forever be grateful for your time.

We hope you enjoy Monument of Triumph and we'll see you out there in the wilds.

• Nav Mode

  • Fixed cases where Tracked Content would not display properly in Nav Mode if more than three Triumphs are tracked.

• Any indications of seasonal reset functionality across features have been removed.

• Settings

  • Tank Control Mode can now be changed between Heavy Metal and Classic in the Settings menu under Gameplay. By default, the Heavy Metal mode is selected which allows for rotation to be driven by aim. Classic uses separate controls for rotation.

Gameplay and Investment

Attune Anywhere

• Added the ability for players to attune to specific rewards from a new menu in their Inventory.
  • Attunement will give the selected weapon significantly higher drop chances from that activity’s rewards.
  • This will be available in the Accessories section of the Inventory, above Consumables.
  • Players will be able to freely change their attunement selections at any time.
• For every activity menu available here, players will be able to attune to one weapon from each category.

Destination Rewards

• Updated rewards from pre-The Edge of Fate destinations with new perks, set bonuses, and gear tiers (for non-craftable weapons).
• Tiered weapons and armor now drop from more sources on destinations.
• Public Events are one of the best sources of tiered destination gear:
  • Base completion: Tier 3 rewards (with a chance at Tier 4 or 5)
  • Heroic completion: Tier 4 rewards (with a chance at a Tier 5)
  • During a Distortion, these tiers will be increased by 1 Tier each.
• Updated the following loot pools to avoid dropping weapons after all crafting patterns are unlocked.
  • Throne World
  • The Pale Heart
  • Neomuna
  • Terminal Overload weapons will begin to drop from more sources when all crafting patterns are found.

Armor

Hunter Exotics

Wormhusk Crown

• Reworked effect: Activating class ability grants cure. Solar multikills grant Burning Souls. While active, Solar Ability damage is increased and dodging greatly cures the player and nearby allies.

Shards of Galanor

• Landing most Blade Barrage knives in a volley causes a delayed Solar Explosion and releases Solar Shrapnel.

Relativism

• Spirit of the Wormhusk
• Reworked effect: Multikills grant Burning Souls. While active, dodging greatly cures the player and nearby allies.

Caliban's Hand

• Combo finisher palm blast now gets 1.5x the base Exotic's damage bonus, and reports as critical damage.

Mothkeeper's Wraps

• Reworked effect: Getting kills from any source charges up moth grenades. After generating six charges, convert your grenade into two moth grenades.
  • Red bars = one charge
  • Orange bars = two charges
  • Players, Minibosses, and up = three charges
• All current functionality and synergies of the moth grenades themselves remains the same.
  • Arc moths still Arc blind enemies and Void moths still provide Void Overshield to allies.
  • Arc moths are still considered to be Arc grenades, and will continue to synergize with the same subclass fragments, weapon perks, etc. that they synergized with before.
  • Investing your Grenade stat higher than 100 will still increase moth grenade damage.
• This Exotic is now a conditional grenade override instead of a complete override, meaning it functions more like Gunpowder Gamble.
• Increased the movement speed of Arc moths by roughly 43% and Void moths by roughly 25%.
• Both moths from the same grenade will now attempt to target separate enemies/allies if possible.

Lucky Pants

• Increased Eriana's Vow's maximum damage bonus to 4.5x.

Upon exiting your super, Sunfire Furnace stacks are converted into Super energy.
• Ability regen bonus reduced to 2.5x down from 3.5x.

Pyrogale Gauntlets

• Increased Super Cyclone Scorch per tick.

• Increased Super Cyclone tracking by ~40%.
  • It should be significantly easier to get the projectiles to track to a target at range.

Stoicism

Peregrine Greaves

• Shoulder charge impact damage increase reduced from 400% to 250% against non-Champion, non-miniboss combatants, and reduced from 1000% to 550% against Champions and minibosses.
  • Note: In this update, shoulder charge base damage in PvE has been doubled, so a Titan with Peregrine Greaves equipped will deal more damage after this update, not less.

Severance Enclosure

• Removed "Line of Sight" requirement caused by occlusion cross being too large, added smaller occlusion cross that matches standard AoE effects.
• Removed effect that prevents combatants from being hit by multiple shock waves in a short period of time.

• Updated camera to convey speed and remaining flight time a little better.

No Backup Plans

• Now triggers and benefits from both Shotgun and melee final blows.
• Shotgun or melee final blows now start health regeneration instead of granting a Void Overshield.
• Shotgun or melee final blows extend the timer of any active defensive buffs on you.
  • This includes Void Overshield, Restoration, Amplified, Frost Armor, and Woven Mail.
  • Will partially heal Void Overshield upon activation of this extension if the player has one.
• The damage bonus is now active when you have any of the above noted defensive debuffs.

Cadmus Ridge Lancecap

• Now also can spawn Stasis Lances with rapid Stasis weapon damage and final blows even when not behind their rally barricade.
• Now grants bonus Stasis Lance damage based on your current stacks of Frost Armor.

Point Contact Cannon Brace

• Lightning strike damage now scales further based on how long Thunderclap is charged for, up to 2x.
  • This stacks with the bonus damage from casting while amplified.
• Activating Thunderclap also releases lightning strikes as you start winding up the punch.
• Reworked melee regen from lightning strike kills to compensate for the new wave of bolts on charge up.
  • No longer target tiered. Flat amount has been increased to compensate.
  • Should see larger energy returns on average.

Helm of Saint-14

• Maintained functionality: Weapons of Light continues to persist for the wearer and for allies upon leaving a Ward of Dawn.
• Lost functionality: No longer disorients enemies within the Ward of Dawn or upon blocking with Sentinel Shield.
• New functionality: While Weapons of Light is active, kills or sustained damage grant stacks of The Saint; Void and Kinetic damage sources will also suppress in a radius around the victim.
  • Sustained damage is based on actual damage dealt. The more damage you deal, the quicker it activates.
  • Picking up your Ward of Dawn consumes all stacks of The Saint and then extends Ward's duration based on how many stacks were consumed.

ACD/0 Feedback Fence

Peacekeepers

Blastwave Striders

• Added an expanding wave that freezes enemy combatants and slows enemy players.
• Shrapnel projectiles now have minor tracking toward targets but no longer create a Stasis crystal on impact.
• Reduced the kill requirements for weaker enemies from 13 to 10.
• Reduced the kill requirements for powerful enemies from seven to four.
• The buff bar now displays in segments to more easily track the perk's progress.
• To reduce instances of accidently triggering the blast, the following changes were made:
  • Explosions created by explosive perk kills (ie: Dragonfly, Firefly) no longer trigger the blast.
  • Explosions created by passive explosive perks (ie: Explosive Payload, Explosive Head) still trigger the blast.
  • A small delay has been added after each explosive kill to prevent cases where the blast wave is triggered on the same kill that fills the buff bar to 100% if that
