Guardians, gear up! The latest 'This Week in Destiny' (TWID) update has dropped like a Cabal drop pod on unsuspecting players, bringing a treasure trove of info about Destiny 2's upcoming expansion, The Edge of Fate. From new destinations to game-changing systems, here’s what’s got the community buzzing.
Exploring The Edge of Fate: What’s Coming?
Bungie has pulled back the curtain on The Edge of Fate, and early hands-on previews from community creators and press who visited Bungie HQ are live. A brand-new destination, Kepler, awaits, packed with fresh enemy factions, allies, and a slick exploration ability called Matterspark. Could this be the key to uncovering hidden secrets? We’re hyped to find out when it launches on July 15, 2025.
New Gear and Armor Systems
The Gear Tiering system debuts with Tiers 1-5 for weapons and armor, promising juicy bonuses at higher levels. Meanwhile, Armor 3.0 is shaking things up with a stat overhaul—say goodbye to Mobility and hello to Weapons, alongside new effects up to 200 points. Buildcrafting just got a serious glow-up, and we can’t wait to theorycraft some wild setups.
What’s New in Buildcrafting?
The Portal will serve as your main hub for activities, offering tunable difficulty for better rewards. Plus, Prismatic subclass tuning in Update 9.0.0.1 adjusts Fragment slots—sorry Titans, Consecration’s back to 2 slots. Check out the full changes on the official Bungie site.
Pride Month and Community Highlights
Bungie’s celebrating Pride Month with a new Shader Pack in Eververse, with proceeds supporting Advocates for Trans Equality Education Fund. Grab the Pride Collectible Pin 2.0 and Infinite Prismatic emblem to support It Gets Better. And for all you PvP warriors, get ready to sweat in Trials of Osiris (aka the weekend Guardian gauntlet) with Adept weapon rotations until the expansion drops.
