Bungie is making major Destiny 2 armor mods

Destiny 2 developer Bungie has announced a big change to the game’s selection of armor mods, which – as you’d expect – let you modify your character’s abilities.

As of now, all “standard” armor mods are unlocked for all players – a move Bungie says is designed to “give everyone a chance to enjoy all mods in their current state” ahead of the upcoming Lightfall expansion, the “big changes” will include ” to BuildCrafting.

It’s an interesting move that allows players much more freedom to experiment with armor mods to find the setup that best suits their playstyle – without having to rely on the random chances that certain mods will be released via the in-game -Shop of Ada-1 for sale.

Also interesting? This mention of more changes to buildcrafting in Lightfall – as well as the conclusion that mods themselves could change, based on the suggestion that this week’s bulk mod unlock is designed to give players a taste of their “current” state.

It feels like Bungie is giving players more flexibility to try and tweak their character builds now, as a gateway to more fundamental changes in the future. Time will tell as Lightfall’s February 28 release date nears.

Lightfall will take Destiny fans to Neptune in a cyberpunk expansion that serves as the penultimate act in Destiny’s long-running storyline involving The Darkness (not Lowestoft’s band). Destiny 2’s conclusion is expected to arrive in 2024 via an expansion titled The Final Shape.
