With the Forsaken expansion, Bungie has apparently finally found a way to make even the 10th Better Devils in Destiny 2 still interesting for Guardians – through Random Rolls.
Forsaken brings one of the most anticipated features for Destiny 2 – the Random Rolls. This is supposed to make the loot and the hunt for it finally more exciting. In the Combat Live Stream, Bungie has now provided an initial insight into how the Random Rolls will work in Destiny 2.
Random Rolls make duplicates in Destiny 2 truly attractive for the first time
Here’s how Random Rolls work: Random Roll means that with each drop of an item – in this case, a weapon – and with each engram, the perks will be randomly rolled. And that’s how the system in Forsaken works too. All perks of a weapon can be completely different at the next drop than they were the last time.
Full Random Rolls system: Some fans were concerned that only parts of the perks would be randomly rolled while some would remain fixed. Apparently, that is not the case. The developers confirmed upon explicit inquiry from Community Manager DeeJ that the entire perk set of weapons will be rolled anew each time.
This was also confirmed by the visual material. There, the hand cannon Better Devils was shown in three different versions. Both the perks and the scope options of the weapon differed from each other. It is therefore obviously a full Random Rolls system.
The 10th Better Devils can also soon be attractive: This means that with Forsaken, duplicates will finally become important. Because while the 100th drop of a Better Devils was always the same before, soon each weapon instance might present a special perk combination that could still be individually interesting for different situations. Additionally, legendary weapons will receive an additional perk with Forsaken, further increasing the roll diversity.
New perks: Furthermore, it seems that some perks from Destiny 1 are making a return. The popular perk Range Finder can be rolled onto hand cannons with Forsaken. However, Bungie has not yet revealed how large the complete perk pool will be and which perks will be added to the already known ones.
Mods round off the Random Rolls: Additionally, legendary weapons can be further customized with appropriate mods and through the masterwork system. Since the weapon mods and their attributes with Forsaken are almost comparable to additional perks, the possibilities of obtaining a truly individually optimized weapon increase again.
By the way: Exotic weapons will not be able to use mods and will have fixed perks.
Random Rolls on armor: Observant fans have apparently also discovered Random Rolls on some armor pieces. For example, helmets are said to have perks that influence aim assist, precision, or ADS time (the time until aiming down sights) of certain weapons. Other random perks apparently influence ammo capacity.
Will your hunt for potential God Rolls start in September, or is this change not enough to make your 10th Better Devils attractive anymore?
