Bungie has released the patch notes for Destiny 2's big new Lightfall expansion. Update 7.0.0.1 is now available for preloading ahead of Lightfall's launch today, February 28. The details contained inside are things we've been hearing about for weeks or months, but given the scope of the changes we've been hearing about, it does serve as a convenient way to catch up on all of the big and not-so-big adjustments made in the patch.
Among the key changes are adjustments to difficulty. Adept difficulty has been removed, and the activity levels for Hero (soft cap +20), Legend (+30), and Master (+40) have each been tweaked. "Each has a scaling combat delta that keeps you under level in the activity and provides a smoother pathway to Grandmaster," Bungie says. Alongside this is a division of the previous singes/burns system, where elemental damage you dealt and received would be subject to an increase based on a rotating modifier. Now, surges and threats, respectively, will dictate those independently, and a new "overcharged" system will allow for certain weapon types to deal additional damage, based on a combination of activity modifiers and upgrades you've unlocked on your seasonal Artifact.

Now Playing: So You've Decided To Play Destiny 2 Again (Lightfall Edition)
The new Guardian Ranks system has been introduced, offering what should be a more guided experience. That should be particularly useful for newer or more casual players who may not know what to do at a given time. The Triumph tab, meanwhile, has been reworked into the Juorney tab, featuring much of the same information with a new design but also incorporating things like the new Commendations system (where players can praise one another in various categories) and seasonal challenges.
Elsewhere in the update, armor is no longer associated with a specific energy type, meaning you're no longer constrained in terms of which mods can be applied to a given piece of armor. There are also extensive changes to armor mods, with adjustments to their costs and specific effects.
On the weapons side, crafting has been adjusted to do away with the Resonant Elements currency, and Deepsight objectives have been largely removed--you'll only see Deepsight on weapons where a pattern for it can be unlocked. (In other words, no more Vaults full of red-border weapons.) There are also numerous balance changes, such as machine guns and heavy grenade launchers being buffed, and linear fusion rifles being nerfed. Various Exotics have been changed, too, like Prometheus Lens's catalyst getting the Incandescent perk and Leviathan's Breath applying Volatile when you land a perfect-draw shot.
There is a ton more in the patch notes, which should help pass the time with Destiny 2's ongoing server downtime running until Lightfall's release at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET on February 28. If you need another way to make the wait feel shorter, check out our Lightfall story primer that recaps everything that's happened since the Beyond Light expansion's release in November 2020. Keep in mind, everything below is coming as an update to all players, while Lightfall and Season of Defiance will introduce a lot of new content, including the Neomuna location and Strand subclass.
Added an Exotic Armor Swap penalty applied to Trials of Osiris and Competitive Division. Equipping a different piece of Exotic armor drains all ability energy in these modes.Competitive Division Fixed a bug that caused the Competitive intro quest to auto-claim the completion reward. Rewards are now claimed upon interacting with Shaxx.Competitive Rift & Showdown have reduced revive delay time to 1.5s from 2s; reduced respawn time to 5.5s from 7s.VANGUARD OPS
Fixed an issue in Heist Battleground: Europa where a Heavy ammo crate could respawn for players who get quarantined into the boss fight arena.When you play Vanguard Ops or Nightfall, your final score determines a reputation multiplier for that activity's completion. Multipliers run from 1.0 (under 30,000 points) to 7.0 (above 250,000). We also tuned the amount of Vanguard rank you receive for completions, Nightfall quality, and streaks.Full pass on all Vanguard map and mode multipliers, with an eye toward balancing score-per-hour, rather than score-per-attempt.Vanguard and Nightfall strikes: Added on-screen health bar for bosses previously missing them.Fixed an issue where player could be given the same objective twice in quick succession in The Devil's Lair strike.The Vanguard Ops playlist has increased in difficulty – players can no longer level beyond the enemy combatants.Additional rotating modifiers have been added to the Vanguard Ops playlist.DIFFICULTY OPTIONS
Hero, Legend, and Master difficulties have been reworked for greater challenge and to accommodate new modifiers. Adept difficulty has been removed. Hero activity level is now soft cap + 20. Legend is Power cap + 30, and Master is Power cap + 40. Each has a scaling combat delta that keeps you under level in the activity and provides a smoother pathway to Grandmaster.Most Hero/Legend/Master/Grandmaster activities now feature the ability to use “overcharged” weapons for increased damage. Which weapons are overcharged are determined by your Seasonal Artifact unlocks and activity modifiers.Elemental singes and burns have been replaced and broken out into incoming and outgoing components: “threats” and “surges”. Damage bonuses for surges and overcharges do not stack.RAIDS AND DUNGEONS
Armor pieces from Master difficulty Grasp of Avarice, Duality, and Spire of the Watcher drop with higher stats.
Character screen Removed the currency display on the Character screen.Clans Fixed an issue where Hawthorne's icon on the Tower map wouldn't consistently pulse when a clan engram was available to claim.Roster Improved contrast between player names and background colors on the Roster.Fixed an issue causing the Director screen to refresh the footer UI when players in the Roster changed states.Settings Fixed an issue causing the Settings menu to close when leaving a submenu.
Armor energy type has been deprecated. Armor now has untyped armor energy, and all mods use that untyped energy when socketed.Armor mods that were previously based on weapon archetype are now based on weapon damage type.Most armor mods that are based on weapon damage type also have a harmonic version, which is discounted when the weapon's damage type matches your subclass damage type.Armor mod costs have been generally reduced across the board.The Combat Style mod socket has been deprecated and replaced on all armor pieces with an extra socket for mods associated with that armor slot (helmet, gauntlets, etc.).The Charged With Light and Elemental Wells armor mods have been merged into a single system: Armor Charge. Players using the Armor Charge system can gain up to three stacks of Armor Charge at a time (expanded up to six stacks by equipping Charged Up mods).Picking up an Orb of Power grants one stack of Armor Charge.Many mods that previously created Elemental Wells or granted stacks of Charged With Light directly have been modified to instead spawn Orbs of Power.Mods that provide an ongoing benefit (such as Font of Wisdom) now grant that benefit as long as you have stacks of Armor Charge; these mods cause Armor Charge stacks to decay every 10 seconds.Some redundant mods have been deprecated when their effect would overlap with an existing mod's effects.Some armor mods (such as the Kickstart mods and most mods triggered by using a finisher) now make use of the Armor Charge system.Some of the functionality of Elemental Wells and their associated mods have been moved into subclass fragments and the new Firesprite and Void Breech.Warmind Cells have been deprecated.Seasonal Artifact Unlocking a perk in the Seasonal Artifact now grants that perk directly to the character when it is relevant; you no longer need to socket an armor mod to gain an Artifact perk's effect.Column 2 of the Artifact now unlocks multiple discounted mods per node.The maximum number of unlocked perks has been reduced to 12.Resetting your selections in the Seasonal Artifact is now free.Removed the one-second button hold to unlock an Artifact perk; a single button press now unlocks the perk.Artifice armor has had its bonus socket converted into a socket that allows you to increase any one stat on that armor piece by +3.Adjusted the amount of damage reduction provided by the Resilience stat in PvE. At tier 10 damage reduction now caps at 30% (down from 40% in Season 19), and the progression of the damage reduction across tiers has been smoothed to give more relative value to lower tiers of Resilience.The armor mods granting Resilience have had their armor energy costs increased to 4 (+10 Resilience) and 2 (+5 Resilience).The Iron Lord's Pride perk has been added to all Iron Banner armor sets from Season 8 to the present.Exotic Armor changes Khepri's Sting: Truesight is now granted when damaging an enemy with a smoke bomb. Additionally, when you have an undetonated smoke bomb on the battlefield and have not been made invisible by a smoke bomb, you gain significantly increased melee energy generation.Heart of Inmost Light: Reduced duration of the empowered ability buffs in PvE to five seconds (down from 10 seconds). Reduced bonus class ability regeneration while empowered to +25% per stack in both PvE and PvP (down from +150% and +38%, respectively). This change is intended to decrease how easy it is to get and maintain a 2x empowerment bonus in PvE, as well as reduce the total amount of bonus ability energy provided. The goal is for Heart of Inmost light to remain strong in ability-focused builds, while giving room for other Exotics to shine as well.The Bombardiers now cause targets damaged by its explosive to become severed when used by a Strand Hunter.Chromatic Fire has been updated to work with Strand.Mantle of Battle Harmony updated to work with Strand.Verity's Brow updated to work with Strand.Felwinter's Helm triggers weaken burst off Strand melees.Claws of Ahamkara will not provide an additional melee charge when equipped to a Strand subclass.Armor that supports coloration and appearance change based on your currently selected subclass has been updated to support Strand.

You can immediately extract or dismantle the weapon to obtain pattern progress.Crafting bug fixes Fixed an issue where a crafted perk cost was doubled for the King’s Fall weapons Defiance of Yasmin and Smite of Merain.Updated several different weapon VFX to address miscellaneous bugs and performance issues.Restored the correct audio to Field-Forged shotguns.Red reticle is now enabled on PC.Linear Fusion Rifles Reduced damage vs. Champions, minibosses, bosses, and vehicles by 15%.
