Destiny 2 Edge of Fate Unveils Major Armor Weapon Updates

Destiny 2's latest expansion, The Edge of Fate, introduces significant changes to armor and weapon systems, requiring players to adapt their builds for optimal performance in PvE. Armor 3.0 keeps the Armor Mod system largely intact, with recommended mods focusing on enhancing Super energy generation and Orb production for helmets and gauntlets, thereby supporting melee and grenade builds effectively. Hunter players benefit from a new meta build that leverages the Liar’s Handshake Exotic and Prismatic subclass to greatly improve survivability and healing, addressing previous weaknesses compared to Titans and Warlocks. The rework of ritual content and the introduction of Portal playlists has shifted weapon drop locations, with specific god rolls highlighted for various weapons like the Ahab Char auto rifle and Wave frame swords, which offer utility in both PvE and PvP. On the new Kepler destination, players can pursue six new weapons that scale with the gear tier system, with the Solar-damage two-burst hand cannon Agape standing out for its synergy with Solar subclasses and utility in both PvE and PvP despite its challenging firing pattern. Overall, the expansion's changes demand careful buildcrafting and weapon selection to excel across all content, including endgame and Mythic missions.
