Destiny Season of the Deep The weekly This Week at Bungie series (TWAB), which is part of the Bungie Weekly, highlights the new Destiny 2 Strand Aspects as well as the major economic overhauls that have been made to the popular FPS. Season of the Deep will be the title of Destiny 2 Season 21 which begins on the 23rd of May.
Three new Strand Aspects are introduced in this season. Threaded Specter represents the Hunter Aspect. This allows characters to create Strands decoys, which explode and release Threadlings. Titans get the chance to equip the Flechette Storm, which allows Guardians to slide and leap into the air, knocking down targets and then “launch a cluster of damaging, Unraveling projectiles.” They can repeat this charged melee to chain additional throws. Finally, the Warlock Wanderer Aspect allows Tangles they throw to attach to enemies and detonate, while Threadling final blows will also create a Tangle.
The TWAB also refers to an earlier blog post which listed additional updates, including increased PvE Super resistance and tuning updates for Supers in Destiny 2 classes.
Bungie also discusses some updates to the economy for Exotics. The post notes that “your Exotics should roll consistently higher stats, and with more frequent individual stat spikes starting in Season 21.” Average stats should now be in the mid-60s.
Regarding Deepsight focusing, the team says, “we will be adding the ability to electively activate Deepsight on weapon instances to obtain pattern progress.” On top of this, the post adds that “Legendary Shard costs will be removed from all crafting components.”
It also outlines a new system in which completing Triumphs for raids and dungeons will boost players’ chances of earning Exotics for those activities. It also shows some changes to Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris’ loot pool, as well as updates to the game mode.
With Destiny 2 season 20 coming to an end, be sure to get your hands on all Destiny 2 Lightfall Exotics in the multiplayer game so you can jump right into Season of the Deep without drowning because you missed out on the game’s best loot.
