With the first information about the revised weapon slots in Destiny 2, Bungie caused more confusion than clarity. A new tweet from the developers raises even more questions and leaves fans puzzled. However, this has sparked more heated discussions about the topic.
Fans want new weapon slots: With the Forsaken expansion and the accompanying update 2.0.0 coming on September 4, 2018, one of the most anticipated features for Destiny 2 – the changes to the weapon slots.
Information leaves many questions unanswered: Official information is currently quite scarce. At E3 2018, Destiny 2: Forsaken was already playable by some press representatives. This revealed some details about the revised slots. Also, in the “This Week at Bungie” blog on June 14, new information was provided by Bungie.
However, the previous details left many questions unanswered. With the information from the TWaB, the studio caused more confusion than it could clarify some aspects. A new tweet from the developers now raises even more question marks and heated debates among fans.
Changes to the weapon slots – “Everything rotates – regardless of the year”
On Twitter, the question arose whether, under the new weapon slot system, one will be able to use their IKELOS shotgun (currently a Power weapon) in the energy slot or if the Year 1 weapons will remain bound to their current slots. There have recently been numerous speculations about this.
Bungie’s Sandbox Design Lead Josh Hamrick answered this question with the words: ” Everything moves – regardless of the year. More details will follow very soon.”
These questions are still unanswered: With this, Hamrick caused even more confusion and sparked numerous new discussions and speculations regarding the upcoming changes to the weapon slots:
- Which weapon types can now be placed in which slot?
- Does the damage of the current Power weapons change if they are used in another slot – and if so, how?
- How does the ammunition behave then?
- What about exotic weapons like the Legend of Acrius or the Sleeper Simulant? Do they remain bound to the Power slot?
- What about swords?
- And how will the slots now be officially designated?
These are just a few examples of questions from the community that are now being vigorously discussed on Reddit and other platforms.
Because even if Bungie did not succeed in answering important questions with this tweet, the studio has definitely achieved one thing – they remain on everyone’s lips.
What do you think the changes to the weapon slots will ultimately look like? What details are important to you? And what do you personally wish for?
