Destiny 2: Super Changes Coming in Shadowkeep

Shadowkeep is just around the corner releasing in precisely 14 days from now. It comes with a load of new features and updates to the current armor and weaponry of Destiny 2. Bungie is changing how some of the exotics work in the game like – Lunafaction Boots. New (and old) Crucible maps, modes are being added along with some big Competitive changes. On the PvE side of things, we are also getting a brand-new seasonal activity called – Vex Offensive along with a new raid and two new strikes. Super changes are coming to Shadowkeep that are revealed in a recent TWAB. Here’s everything we can find in the blog-post:

Damage Multipliers

Player Damage Buffs

  • Player Bonuses
    • Bonus damage effects that apply to all of a player’s weapons simultaneously no longer stack multiplicatively. The highest applicable bonus will be used instead.
      • This does not affect single weapon buffs such as Rampage, Kill Clip, or exotic weapons that increase their own damage. These will still stack multiplicatively.
      • Buffs that provide bonus damage will still exist simultaneously on the player, so in the event that the one with the highest multiplier wears off the next highest will be used instead.
      • This change affects the following weapons/abilities (Empowering Rift, Frontal Assault, Guiding Flame, Sun Warrior, Inertia Override, Well of Radiance, Lumina/Noble Rounds, Weapons of Light)
