The Flavor of Opulence is poised to kick off in Destiny 2 on June 4, bringing with it a new raid and a new six-thespian activity. As with all the content drops in the Year Two annual laissez passer, this i is also full of new loot to chase and new secrets for players to unlock along the mode.

Bungie outlined new details most the Season of Opulence in its latest blog postal service, which explains some key ins and outs of the Menagerie, the new six-player matchmade activity at the heart of the season. The thing that sets the activity apart from others in Destiny 2 is the new Beaker of Opulence, an item you lot'll use to determine which gear you receive upon completing a Menagerie run. According to Bungie, as y'all play through the Menagerie, y'all'll earn items called runes you can plug into your chalice. Which runes you employ will determine the gear you get, and more crucially, what its stats are.

The affair near the runes is you won't know what combinations practice what until y'all experiment (or more probable, until the Destiny community experiments and posts it all on Reddit). Calculation sure runes to your chalice can help you lot chase down specific versions of the new Opulence weapon set, including what boosts you become when you turn those weapons into Masterworks. That'south a significant modify: normally, weapons' stats are randomized, forcing players to fight through an action over and over, hoping to get the best versions of certain guns. Masterworks offer bonus stats to guns also, but again, which stat gets a heave is ordinarily randomized.

You'll also be able to upgrade the beaker itself, which will requite you more control over the gear you lot get from the Menagerie, while besides allowing you lot to earn more runes of specific types. Players will have to put in the work to upgrade the chalice for greater customization, though, and it doesn't sound like information technology'll be particularly easy.

Bungie also detailed the new Pinnacle weapons that come with the season. These are high-powered, specially designed guns you can but get by completing arduous tasks in specific activities, like the competitive Crucible, the cooperative Vanguard Strikes, or Gambit, which mixes the two play types.

The Crucible weapon is a sniper rifle called Revoker, which sounds a lot similar the popular Icebreaker Exotic sniper rifle from Destiny ane. It encourages you to take every shot by returning missed shots to your magazine later a short time--which means you can't become crazy unloading your sniper burglarize, but you practice get an incentive to open burn down a little more often. Earning the Revoker will exist easier than past Crucible Pinnacle guns, likewise; it requires racking upward 3,500 points in the Celebrity playlist only doesn't penalize y'all if you lose. Past Pinnacles have required players to fight through Glory to the Fabled rank--but you only gain points when y'all win matches. Losing sets you back, making earning the guns very tough for many players.

The Vanguard Pinnacle is the Wendigo-GL3 grenade launcher, which gets more powerful when yous pick upward Orbs of Light generated by teammates. Orbs give the launcher's grenades more impairment and a bigger blast radius, then it'll pay to stick close to teammates and work together when using the weapon. For Gambit players, in that location's Hush, a gainsay bow that rewards you lot for shooting from the hip, rather than aiming down its sights. Landing hip fire precision kills with the bow speeds up its draw time significantly, assuasive you lot to burn down mortiferous arrows much more quickly.

Bungie also followed up an declaration that information technology would exist weakening some fan-favourite guns with the new season by outlining a few weapons that are getting boosts. Fusion Rifles, in particular, should be more useful thanks to damage increases against AI-controlled enemies. Swords are also being amped up a bit, with damage increases and ammo rebalancing.

The announcements about the Season of Opulence also came with a teaser from Bungie that it'll exist outlining the "next affiliate" for Destiny 2 on Thursday, June 6--two days subsequently the launch of the season. Players are speculating the delay is because Bungie is waiting for the first teams of players to complete Crown of Sorrows, the Season of Opulence'south new raid, which will requite away some new story data about where the game is headed. Whatever Bungie has planned for Destiny ii going forward, information technology'll be the kickoff content the developer has created without onetime publishing partner Activision.
