Newcomers and part-time guardians often struggle to get into the topic of mods in Destiny 2. We at MeinMMO show you what changes the community suggests to make mods easier.
What are mods? Mods are effects that you can apply to certain weapons and any armor. With these effects, you benefit in combat from bonuses that make life easier in Destiny 2.
Sometimes there are mods that:
- Spawn Seraph orbs with which you can destroy everything and everyone
- Charge you with light – This allows you to deal more damage or benefit from bonuses
- Stop, disrupt, or break champions – Important for Grandmaster Nightfalls or raids
And those are not all the mods yet.
There is a wide array of mods that will gain importance later in Destiny 2. Nonetheless, many guardians do not understand how the system works, how to obtain them, and whether they are necessary.
Newcomers and part-time guardians are overwhelmed by the current mod system
Many newcomers and part-time guardians who only drop by on weekends are overwhelmed by the current mod system.
Therefore, a reddit post again points out how complicated this issue is. The reddit user “Bauns” outlines the problem with an example that relates to his friend.
Many players recognize the problem. Even guardians who have returned to Destiny 2 report difficulties. Most of the time, it is about wanting to recreate a specific build, but this is not possible because the respective mod has not been cataloged.
We at MeinMMO have highlighted the 3 most important points for you.
1. Champion mods should be passive
The community demands that with the artifact of the respective season, the champion mods should act passively. This means you wouldn’t have to waste mod slots on silly champion mods anymore but still have enough space to possibly include an intellect mod or another fast reload mod.
Such a change would allow you to be more flexible in terms of build design.
2. Banshee and Ada sell their mods sparingly
Another problem is the sale of mods. The NPCs that sell these mods are stingy and sell only 2 pieces per day. They often appear more than once in a week, which causes frustration for collectors and newcomers alike.
Therefore, players demand that these NPCs sell a complete set of 7 mods that rotate daily. This gives new players, as well as old veterans, the chance to get their last mods.
3. Offer more accessible currency to purchase mods
Mod components are a tricky subject. There are players who are swimming in them and others who have to dismantle every blue piece of gear to get one.
Bungie has not made it beginner-friendly. You obtain these mods by dismantling certain blue gear or completing Banshee’s bounties.
This is bothering a lot of people. Therefore, the community is also requesting a better-regulated solution or the complete removal of these annoying items. It would be better to acquire these mods through Glimmer or Legendary Shards.
A change like this would make no difference since you only buy these mods once in your Destiny 2 life and then they are also locked in your collection. Why the hassle?
Has Bungie commented on this? No, they have not commented on this. However, many guardians are frustrated as such a system discourages many newcomers who want to delve deeper into the subject. If guardians decide to participate in the endgame, there is no way around mods and specific builds.
What do you think about the mods? Did Bungie handle this well and are guardians just seeing ghosts here, or do you also believe that Bungie has not found a good solution?
