Destiny 2 To Offer More Enhancements Cores On Season of Opulence
Destiny 2 players can tell how precious Enhancements Cores are, they are sold at a moderate price at Tangled Shore but you never have enough Enhancements Cores for optimizing your ideal set. It’s certainly more necessary now that Season of the Drifter has raised the light level of Guardians, considering this Bungie has found a way to make things more interesting and help players to get stronger with less grinding. ‘This Week At Bungie’ details the path that should be followed by Guardians in their quest for become stronger.
The goal of the infusion system is to create an impactful feeling of progression when you increase the Power of an item you enjoy using. An infusion system with no scarcity around the materials would diminish this impact. To that end, we tapped into a material with inherent scarceness, Enhancement Cores, to use as one of the keystone materials for this process.
That is the goal the infusion system, but if the overall system is causing a negative experience, we want to work to improve it. We’re constantly monitoring the infusion economy to see what kind of impact it has on gear usage. We keep a close eye on the amount of infusion materials being earned versus how many are being used and will continue to make adjustments as needed.
To that end, we’ll be making a change in Season of Opulence with the goal of providing more access to Enhancement Cores.
This season, Lord Saladin has a few new tricks prepared to challenge us and offer unique rewards, he will be introducing two new consumable items that will change the flow of combat through temporary Power level adjustments.
Iron Burden:
The Iron Burden consumable is for the best of the best to challenge themselves by lowering their Power by 100, putting more focus on skill, strategy, and gunplay. With greater risk comes greater reward. For the brave, Saladin will be offering the Iron Burden consumable for purchase with 5 Iron Banner Tokens. There will be a new Triumph you can complete this Season by defeating 500 opponents while the Iron Burden debuff is active. Completing it will reward you with an updated version of Wizened Rebuke that is fully Masterworked and has a curated roll. You don’t have to complete this during the first event. Your progress will carry over to the next Iron Banner.Wolf’s Favor:
For those of you who find yourselves in PvE activities more frequently, the Wolf’s Favor consumable has been added as an invitation to try your hand in the Iron Banner. These consumables, which will drop with limited availability, grant a temporary 100 Power increase, up to a cap of 700, for 30 minutes. Our goal here is to help those who don’t normally play Crucible take a step in to the action.
