Summary

  • Bungie announces changes to help make the Prismatic armor in Destiny 2 easier to farm with better drop rates, chest spawns, and weekly challenge.
  • For completing the weekly challenge, the first completion will offer a second class item and can be completed again on alternate characters.
  • Bungie has also acknowledged feedback for making class item exotics available to earn through more activities, but for now, Dual Destiny and the Pale Heart are it.

Bungie reveals plans for how it is making farming the Prismatic exotic class armor in Destiny 2 easier, with increased drop rates, better chest spawn rates, and a new weekly challenge. The Final Shape has been well received by the Destiny 2 community, effectively finding a way to bring closure to the game's lengthy 10-year storyline regarding the light and darkness. Even with the satisfying conclusion, players had no shortage of additional content to check out with the expansion, farming for new gear, resources, and weapons to make their Guardian even stronger.

One of the most divisive additions to Destiny 2 was the exotic mission called Dual Destiny. The mission broke conventions by being a duo mission only, pushing players to communicate as they traverse both combat and puzzle situations, ultimately leading to the game's first ever exotic classic item. The fanbase seemed to be divided as some absolutely loved how unique and interesting the mission was, while others were not thrilled that the unique prismatic exotic was locked behind a non-matchmaking activity for only 2 players. However, once the mission was completed, players could have a chance to farm the item from Pale Heart chests, though with so many unique possibilities, players have found it difficult to hunt for specific rolls.

Destiny 2 Releases New Update

Alongside the Act 2 arrival for Episode Echoes, Bungie releases a new Destiny 2 update addressing a number of bugs and gameplay issues.

Following the feedback from players over all of the possible perk rolls for Destiny 2's exotic class armor, Bungie announced a few changes coming in early August to make farming slightly easier. While Dual Destiny is still a requirement for unlocking Pale Heart farming, Bungie is making the item a little easier to loot by increasing drop changes from opening Overthrow chests, with higher tiered chests further adding to the odds as well as Lost Sector and co-op missions. In addition, Bungie is reducing random Pale Heart chests to encourage Overthrow participation, so players should seek out the daily Overthrow location to maximize their odds.

Destiny 2 Adds a New Weekly Challenge

Alongside chest drop rates being changed, Bungie also announced a weekly challenge being added to the Dual Destiny mission. Seemingly taking a page out of the popular Destiny 2 exotic duplication method, Bungie is giving players a chance to earn 2 exotic class items per week for the first completion of the mission, per character. While it may not be as rewarding as the duplication glitch, at the very least, players will be getting an easy way to score two class items at the same time per week, per character.

Until then, players continue to progress through Episode: Echoes, which is currently in its second act. While the timegated element of this first Episodic content has left many fans frustrated, the activities and rewards on offer have been generally well received including a new and popular rocket sidearm in Destiny 2 called Aberrant Action. Lost Signal, a stasis infused area of denial grenade launcher has also proven to be a fan favorite option, taking inspiration from the exotic Witherhoard.
