The latest Destiny 2 blog post has been published on the Bungie site with its most notable feature being a preview of a rather significant update heading into the game sometime next week. A ton of improvements are being made to the emote interface, weapon mods, exotics as well as rewards and incentives. In addition, Crucible PvP will have private matches added in "early 2018".
For now, here's the short list of things you can expect with the next update:
- New systems and rewards to give our most engaged players additional, optional pursuits.
- Better incentives for players who complete challenging Prestige activities.
- Better rewards and replay value for strikes, adventures, and Lost Sectors.
- Private matches for the competitive community (we are targeting early 2018).
- Crucible tuning like adjusted Supremacy scoring and better spawning rules.
- Better incentives for completing Crucible matches (and penalties for quitting competitive games).
- Continued improvements to Iron Banner and Faction Rallies, including uniqueness of rewards.
- Changes to make the mod economy more interesting and impactful.
- Ongoing improvements to Exotics, including adjustments to reduce instances of duplication.
- New ways to spend surplus currency and materials (looking at you Legendary Shards).
- An emote interface that allows players to equip Salty, Spicy Ramen, Six Shooter, and Flip Out all at the same time.
The newsletter also details several key issues that the Player Support team has been tracking down to solve. Many of these are specific to the PC version of the game that arrived earlier this week.
As always, there are a number of fan-created videos and additional information. You can check it all out on the Destiny 2 / Bungie site.
