Destiny 2: Final Form Cleans Up Lingering Unwanted Feature Fallout

Apr 26, 2024 2:34 PM

Destiny 2 is set to address the lingering issues of the controversial Sunsetting feature with its upcoming expansion, 'Die finale Form'. Sunsetting, a mechanic that capped the power level of gear after a certain period, had been a source of frustration for players. This rendered older gear obsolete as they could not keep up with the increasing demands of the game. The upcoming update introduces the 'Fireteam Power' mechanic, allowing friends of different skill levels to play together and experience the same difficulty by temporarily boosting the lower-level players. This change also implies that all gear affected by Sunsetting will have its power level restored, making previously outdated items viable again. Alongside this, the expansion will include additional features and updates for Destiny 2 players.

How will the new Fireteam Power mechanic in Destiny 2 work?

The Fireteam Power mechanic in Destiny 2 will balance the power levels of players within the same fireteam, ensuring everyone experiences the same level of challenge. If you're playing with friends who are at different power levels, the game will temporarily increase the power level of lower-level players so they can contribute effectively in higher-level activities.

Destiny 2, developed by Bungie, is a first-person shooter game that focuses heavily on cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. The game has seen multiple expansions since its release, with each one introducing new storylines, missions, weapons, and gameplay mechanics. The game has built a reputation for its engaging content and the shared-world experience it offers. The issues around Sunsetting had been a point of contention within the community, and many players are looking forward to seeing how these changes will revive old gear and impact the overall game balance.
