Edge of Fate: Will all armor and weapons basically be seasonal?
Ok. I've got a different thread going trying to figure out if my current vault is going to be trash. From that and other threads I think I've got this figured out.
Bungie is changing Destiny to a model where all armor and all weapons are basically seasonal. When EoF releases, you can choose to run old loot and not gain DR or damage bonuses, or you can get new loot and gain DR and damage bonuses.
The when Renegades releases, all the stuff you just acquired may still be tier 5, but you'll lose the DR and damage bonuses. So you need to re-grind to replace all of that T5 stuff you just spent 6 months earning.
If that's going to be the game model, why don't they just come out and say it? This model probably doesn't impact the hardcore players and streamers much. But what about the other 90% of the community? My gut says why play a looter-shooter where your loot is temporary?

Edited by Dooodley: 6/7/2025 2:26:04 PMIt's been really tricky to find some straight answers from the videos I've watched but that's the conclusion I made too. I'm also really sceptical - and I don't know if this is true but it's what I've heard - that you'll only be able to earn gear within your "current power range". Hence, if you run the hardest content in the game you still won't be able to boost yourself to end-game gear. Someone els in the party who has a higher power level than yourself might therefore earn better rewards than you, from running the same content. And tiers seem to be connected to power level so you wont even benefit from that. Additionally you'll be capped by the mid season cap the first half of the season so I'm not even sure if anyone can earn tier 5 then. Also, how do we get the new versions of current exotic weapons? I mean, I'm guessing that exotic engrams will still work the way they do - making it fairly easy to re-earn the gear. But what about the weapons? Just pull the new version from collections? And will exotic items also have tiers depending on our power levels? Alll in all i think it's going to be a mess in PvP playlist that utilize power levels - especially the latter half of seasons.
