Bungie’s new State of the Game blog post forDestiny 2outlines various quality-of-life fixes and changes that will be made in Season 22. Starting inDestiny 2Season 22, up to 100 shaders, ornaments, and emotes may be pinned. Pinned cosmetics will be displayed at the top of their respective lists, allowing players to easily choose their favorites upon opening the menu. Moreover, transmat cosmetic items will be considered unlocks per account instead of consumables in Season 22,Stasis Aspects and Fragmentswill be finally moved to the vendor system. Players who complete theBeyond Lightcampaign will be able to acquire all available Stasis Aspects and Fragments from Elsie Bray in Europa.
The Wish-Ender exotic questwill be consolidated into a single quest strand, and charged and uncharged discs will no longer be considered inventory items while progressing the exotic quest in Season 22. Bungie will also introduce a Resource tab in the Collections menu, which shows currencies upgrade materials, and engrams. This particular tab will display information about how to acquire and use the resources inDestiny 2as well. Further, players may look forward to two Iron Banner “stacking” challenges per day when the event returns in Season 22. One Iron Banner challenge does not require the use of seasonal subclasses, while the second challenge offers pinnacle rewards for using seasonal subclasses in matches.
The last quality-of-life change forDestiny 2Season 22involves immediate rank-up rewards in Crucible activities. In Season 22 and beyond, players will now receive ritual rank rewards immediately after leveling up, so there’s no need to go back to orbit at the end of a PvP match.
Season 22 appears to streamline many ofDestiny 2’sexisting features to make the game more convenient for fans. The ritual rank-up change was long overdue with some fans having requested this change back in Season 3. At the very least, Bungie is committed to improving how players approachDestiny 2and its myriad of in-game systems ahead ofThe Final Shape’s launch.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
