The new TWaB from Destiny 2 has been released, and players can look forward to hard facts about the new raid as well as positive announcements regarding existing issues. We will show you what Bungie has communicated.
What has been released? On the evening from Thursday to Friday, Bungie usually releases their highly anticipated TWaB. This blog post contains a lot of new information about what the development team is working on, what will be revised next, and what players can expect.
New information about the raid, as well as many adjustments regarding activities and crafting, has now been predicted. We will show them all to you.
Better loot drop for the Urquell
What was the problem? Players complained that a certain weapon did not drop in the 6-player activity. They farmed for hours, but not a single copy of the automatic rifle “Event” dropped. Players protested and said that something is wrong with the drop rate. Therefore, Bungie looked into it and announced soon adjustments.
What will be changed? Bungie acknowledged that the drop rate was not quite right and is scheduling a new patch on Thursday, March 10, 2022.
There, the drop chance for standard or deep sight weapons will be significantly increased. You will also receive the increased chance to obtain Ascendant alloys in the master version of the Urquell.
Adjustments for fairness in the new raid
When does the raid start? The new raid “Oath of the Student” starts at 7 PM on March 5, 2022. In order to ensure a certain fairness, Bungie is adjusting some things in the game.
What has been adjusted? The following weapons, armor, and mods have been locked for Day One:
- Weapons
- IKELOS_SMG_V1.0.2 – Legendary submachine gun
- Imperial Needle – Legendary bow
- Great Overture – Exotic machine gun
- The Wardcliff Coil – Exotic rocket launcher
- Armor
- Wyrm God’s Touch – Exotic Titan gauntlets
- Wanderer’s Greaves – Exotic Titan leg armor
- Mods
- Suppressive Glave
Furthermore, every player must have a light level of at least 1,530 to successfully complete every phase of the raid. Your artifact will support you up to the cap of 1,530. Artifact levels above the cap will not be added.
What else has been announced? Bungie points out that they are closely monitoring Gambit. They see the feedback and have three focuses in mind that might be addressed in future updates:
- Use of heavy weapons
- The frequency of invasions
- Ancient phases (The hit points)
Bungie is still busy gathering feedback, and possibly adjustments will only take effect later. What do you think? Do you think it’s good that Bungie is locking the listed weapons for the Day One raid? Let us know!
