Grasp of Avarice is a dungeon introduced to Destiny 2 alongside the game’s Bungie 30th Anniversary update. Not only does the game offer players a variety of cool loot items, but it also delves into some of the history of the Destiny franchise–namely, the once-famous loot caves. The loot caves were themselves nerfed by a hotfix back in 2014, so perhaps it’s fitting that the Grasp of Avarice is also getting one....

Adding Gjallarhorn back to Destiny 2 seemed complicated because it meant rebalancing a weapon known for the power fantasy it offered, meaning that it could turn out to be much better or worse. However, the reprised Exotic is in a great state. It’s an incredible weapon for DPS on bosses and it’s good for general add clearing too, and now Gjallarhorn comes with a new perk called Pack Hunter that substantially buffs nearby allies....

Bows were affected by this change the most, considering that none of them use special ammo and there is only one heavy ammo bow in Destiny 2.

However, Destiny 2 players can now find Stasis Kinetic weapons that come with their own set of new perks, like Headstone....

For the most part, Destiny 2’s weather systems don’t really affect gameplay at all, being there largely for aesthetics’ sake. That won’t be the case on Europa, however.

This can be problematic for two reasons, and one is that Destiny 2’s current PvP meta revolves around Stasis, which has overthrown almost all Light builds when fighting against other Guardians due to slows and freezes being that strong. The second reason is that PvP is seeing not much love in terms of new maps, and it has been 600 days today since the last time a new Crucible map was added, but that’s not all....

As for regular armor, however, players have to acquire Synthweave from Ada-1’s bounties, which can then be used as part of the Armor Synthesis process - also known as transmog - to unlock any piece of armor as a universal ornament.

A trailer for The Witch Queen expansion could point to an end of this. Fans have known for months that Savathun has perverted the Light and used it to create her Lucent Brood, but the extent to which these Hive warriors are like Guardians has been questionable.
