With the release of Destiny 2: Forsaken, there will also be a lot of changes in the Eververse. We summarize the most important innovations for you.
With the Forsaken expansion, there will also be significant changes in the Eververse, the in-game cash shop of Destiny 2. Cosmetic items and customization options will continue to be available. Traditionally, new ornaments and emotes come with Season 4. However, Bungie is introducing further ways to obtain these and other items without having to spend real money.
Among other things, there will be new ways to earn Glimmer Dust – the exclusive Eververse currency – to indulge in specific desired items more often and more targeted.
Ghost Projections and Ornaments for Legendary Weapons
With the release of Forsaken, there will be two brand new item categories in Tess Everis’ store:
Ghost Projections: Ghost Projections are a type of hologram (see title image) that appear when you summon your Ghost. This new ghost item can be obtained from Bright Engrams and can be used account-wide without limit.
Ornaments for Legendary Weapons: Ornaments for Legendary Weapons will be added to Bright Engrams at the start of Season 4. They will function similarly to their exotic counterparts and are also character-wide usable.
Eververse Bounties
Tess Everis gets her own Bounties: One of the biggest changes is the introduction of in-house Bounties in the Eververse, which will be renewed weekly and offer Glimmer Dust as a reward. To obtain an Eververse Bounty, Guardians first need the so-called Bounty Note, which can be found in any Bright Engram during Season 4.
The Bounty Notes can then be exchanged for three different quality levels of bounties:
- Level 1: The bounty costs you one Bounty Note and gives you 20 Glimmer Dust as a reward upon successful completion
- Level 2: The bounty costs you three Bounty Notes and gives you 70 Glimmer Dust as a reward upon successful completion
- Level 3: The bounty costs you six Bounty Notes and gives you 150 Glimmer Dust as a reward upon successful completion
By the way: While the Bounties rotate weekly, there is no weekly cap. You can acquire as many Eververse bounties in a week as your supply of Bounty Notes allows. However, you can only carry one bounty of each level at a time.
Bounties that are not fulfilled expire after a week. Bungie has not yet revealed which activities the new Eververse Bounties will include.
Prismatic Matrix
The prismatic matrix was removed from the Eververse during Season 3. After evaluating player feedback on this, the feature has been revised and will return with the start of Season 4.
The prismatic facets, a kind of free pass for the matrix, will in the future be obtainable through a special level-1 bounty from the Eververse. No Bounty Note is required for this bounty. It will only cost 250 Glimmer. You will still be able to carry a maximum of three facets at the same time.
Other Changes
The following will also change in the Eververse with the start of Season 4:
- The amount of Glimmer Dust earned from dismantling Eververse items will be fixed at a certain rate
- Eververse equipment will have random perk rolls if they come from a Bright Engram
- Eververse equipment that is purchased with Glimmer or through the matrix will have fixed perks. These can be viewed before purchase
- Eververse items can also be drawn from the collections for Glimmer starting in Season 4. Items with random rolls are excluded from this
- Dismantling shaders yields a fixed amount of Glimmer Dust
- Special Eververse gift packages will be earned through level-ups as part of the Forsaken campaign. Only after reaching the new level cap of 50 will you receive Bright Engrams with each level-up again
What do you think of these changes to the Eververse? Does the cash shop now take acceptable turns for you, or are you still strictly against such a feature?
