Happy reset day, Guardians! I originally wrote an intro about the Faction rallies starting today. However, the Faction Rallies have been postponed while Bungie addresses concerns with non-DLC players being locked out of base content following the launch of The Curse of Osiris. For more details regarding content access, you can check out the Bungie Blog here

The latest update for Destiny 2 is now live. You can review the patch notes for update 1.1.1.1 - or as Bungie calls it, the one after Curse of Osiris here

Some of the highlights are listed below:

Masterworks - Legendary Weapons will drop as or be upgraded to become Masterworks versions. Masterworks will have a few advantages over the baseline Legendary weapon:

  • Track and display the number of kills with that weapon (with choice between total count or Crucible-only count)
  • Generate orbs for you and your allies on multi-kills
  • Add weapon stat bonuses that are selected randomly from a small pool and are re-rollable
  • Masterworks drop from any source of Legendary weapons for characters above 250 Power
  • Unwanted Masterworks can be dismantled into materials that can upgrade an existing Legendary Weapon into a Masterwork
  • Raid and Trials of the Nine Weapons will have a very high chance to be Masterworks
  • We have future plans to extend Masterworks to other gear and expose your kill counts in more places (e.g. Crucible kill screen)

Engrams - Legendary and Exotic Engram drop rates have been adjusted down for Public Events, and up for Strike and Crucible playlist activities

Prometheus Lens Exotic Trace Rifle - Regarding the Lens, Bungie had this to say: "As ‘Laser Tag’ weekend comes to a close, we’re making good on our promise to address the fact that Prometheus Lens is way too powerful. Sure it’s fun, but it breaks the Crucible for anyone who wants to use a different weapon. Given the short window, we had to make an emergency fix, it will be adjusted to be way too weak. In January, this new Exotic will receive a proper, play-tested design pass."

Xur - Xur will be selling a 3 of coins consumable that will increase your drop rate for exotic engrams for a specific time frame. Xur will also be selling Fated Engrams that will reward you with exotic gear that is not in your inventory at the time of purchase.

Here’s your reset activities for the week of December 12th – December 18th.

Flashpoint: Mercury

Travel to Mercury to complete Public Events to complete your Flashpoint milestone - there's only one so you'll have plenty of time to hunt for chests and materials while you wait. Remember to turn your Public Events into Heroic Public Events for a chance at better loot. For this Public event simply stay in one of the towers and shoot the crystals that spawn behind the tower. Platforms will appear as you shoot crystals which will allow you to work your way to the top of the tower. Once on top, simply stand in the middle plate until the Heroic is triggered.

Flashpoint Reward: Powerful Engram

Cayde-6 Treasure Maps: Mercury

Be sure to visit the Cayde-6 and purchase the 5 treasure maps (4600 glimmer each) leading to Cayde’s special loot chests before taking off to Mercury to complete your Flashpoint milestone.

Call to Arms: Crucible

Win glory by participating in Crucible matches. It typically takes between 5-7 matches to complete the milestone depending on if you are solo queuing or playing with clan mates. Playing crucible matches will earn you progress towards your Call to Arms milestone and your Clan XP milestone at the same time.

Call to Arms Reward: Powerful Engram

Eververse - Just because you're busy fighting doesn't mean you can't look good doing it. Here's your Eververse stock for this week. There are new "Gleaming Boons" available for purchase now for crucible and strikes that will reward an Eververse gift for everyone in the activity.

Remember all progress on the Leviathan raid is reset as well as raid keys. Clan XP goals are also reset as each player can earn a cap of 5000 XP per character for a powerful engram while total clan XP is capped at 100,000.

Allons-y, Guardians!
