Guardians, Bungie is listening to your feedback on the Power climb grind and raid loot in Destiny 2. Exciting changes are coming to make progression smoother and more rewarding, perfect for both new players and veterans chasing that god-roll gear.
Power Climb and Reward Improvements
Bungie is tackling the steep Power climb by ramping up rewards from Fireteam and Pinnacle activities. This shift could make gearing up feel less like a chore and more like an adventure, allowing you to dive into high-level content faster.
In the upcoming Update 9.1.0.2, raid rewards for The Desert Perpetual and legacy content get a major buff. Expect more drops that matter, which might encourage replaying older raids for fresh loot without the frustration of dry runs.
One standout change: Exotic weapon drops from legacy raids and dungeons will ditch weekly lockouts, opening the door to infinite farming. This is a game-changer for collectors, potentially shifting meta builds as rare exotics become more accessible.
Iron Banner Gets a Fresh Look
Iron Banner is currently live with a visual swap for its armor set, trading Iron Beryllium for the sleek Ancient Majesty style. It's a cosmetic tweak that adds flair to your PvP battles—grab it before it wraps up soon.
The Desert Perpetual Raid Race Heats Up

This event promises intense competition and could reveal new strategies for tackling the raid's challenges.
Bungie has updated guidelines for World First Race streaming, ensuring fair play while highlighting top teams. As a player, events like this build community hype and offer learning opportunities from the pros.
