Destiny 2 Black Armory Launch Plans And Beyond Outlined
Expect some bugs in the week just before the Black Armory drops.
Bungie has given word on when to expect Destiny 2's next big paid
update, Black Armory, along with a heads-up about some growing pains
that may come along with it. The new content will drop on December 4,
and Bungie warns that the week prior may raise unforeseen issues as it
prepares to roll out the update.
In an update on the official blog, the team says it is working to make a
list of temporary changes so players will know what to expect, and it
encourages anyone impacted by unexpected bugs help forum.
The Black Armory is part of the new Season of the Forge, which will
begin on November 27. It will be followed by the Season of the Drifter,
followed by another unnamed season. Season of the Forge will add the new
The Dawning event, new Crucible content, and new weapons. Annual Pass
holders who can access the Black Armory will get Light and Fury weapons,
the new Forges of the Chain activity, a Raid Lair, Exotics, and
Legendaries.
The blog also noted a set of changes coming to the PvP/PvE hybrid Gambit
Mode. Infamy will be more readily available, with Infamy rank point
awards for all bounties being doubled. Various challenges have been
retuned to be easier to complete and a new bounty rewards Primeval envoy
kills. Ranking up in subdivisions will award Legendary weapons and
armor. Plus the players who receive their Primeval second can only
receive one "catch-up" stack of Primeval Slayer, rather than multiple
stacks based on performance.
If you need to rack up Infamy, next week will be the time. A Double
Infamy event will take place next Tuesday, November 20 through Friday,
November 23, followed by a Triple Infamy event from November 23 through
Tuesday, November 27.
Finally, Bungie suggested the transition into the next year of Destiny 2
will come with its own changes and plans for the future. The company
has previously said it has a full year of content planned following
Forsaken. Black Armory will be the first piece of content for Annual
Pass holders and more free content for everyone is coming.
"The time has come to begin a new conversation about how the Destiny
endgame will continue to thrive in the months to come," the blog states.
"What will each Season hold for every player of Destiny 2? How will the
Annual Pass add to that experience? These are the questions we want to
answer as we introduce you to a whole way to to enjoy your hobby as a
Guardians with new challenges to conquer and new rewards you’ll want to
add to your inventory.
"Next week, as the holiday season begins in our neck of the woods, the
news coming out of our studio will be random and light. The week after,
we’ll be exploring all the details of another kind of season. Stay tuned
for what comes next."
This comes just after Activision publicly noted that Destiny 2's
Forsaken expansion failed to meet sales targets. In that call, the
company signaled that it would be looking for new ways for players to
spend through in-game microtransactions. As Bungie plans whatever it has
in store for seasonal content, it may also have to make changes to
answer for revenue expectations from the game's publisher.
