Bungie has laid out a roadmap forDestiny 2to follow for this year and the next, making changes to gameplay along the way. SinceDestiny 2: Beyond Lightlaunched in November, the game has received numerous gameplay refinements, with more to come.
These changes includeDestiny 2’snext-gen upgrades for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and the launch of theBeyond Lightexpansion, which introduced the new Stasis powers for each class. As part of Season 13, Bungie will be making some more changes to the game, in particular, the reward structure for vendors. The goal is to update howDestinyplayers earn reputation from vendors, as well as how players receive their rewards in the game in the next season.

Justin Dazet, Bungie’s Reward Area Lead, said that the changes were made in response to player feedback duringBeyond Lighton the vendor rewards. Dazet said that players can look forward to changes heading toDestiny 2’sGambit, Crucible, and Strike reward structures. Bungie is adding two unique weapon rewards to each of the ritual playlists, letting players earn six in total on top of the new weapons added inSeason of the Hunt.
Players will be able to visibly track their progress for rank rewards at each ritual vendor playlist in either the Crucible orGambit game modes. They will manually collect the rewards from vendors instead of receiving them automatically in their loot streams. The progression itself will vary from each ritual vendor as players can have Rank 10 in Crucible and Rank 4 in Gambit, but the rank will reset at the vendor once they pick up the final reward.
Rewards for each rank are as follows: 3x Upgrade Modules for Rank 4, 3 Enhancement Cores for Rank 7, Seasonal Ritual Shader for Rank 10, 2 Enhancement Prisms for Rank 13; including a Seasonal Ritual Emblem for Rank 16, and an Ascendant Shard as a rank Reset Reward. Players will be awarded Ritual Emgrams for each rank-up as well as a Prime Ritual Emgram for each of the previous ranks.
As a consequence of this automated progression, Crucible Tokens and Crucible Token Gifts won’t be needed and will be discarded as junk and deleted at the start ofDestiny 2’sSeason 13. Bungie advises players to cash in their Crucible Tokens now before the current season is up.
The outlined changes will be applied to all three of the game activities in Season 13 and will be implemented in a future Season. For now, players can still enjoyDestiny 2’sSeason of the Huntbefore Season 13 launches on February 9.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
