Guardians, it's another exciting week in the Destiny 2 universe! Bungie's latest TWID (This Week in Destiny) update has dropped some interesting tidbits that could affect your gameplay. Let's break down the key points and explore how you can leverage these changes to your advantage.

1. PvP Matchmaking Gets a Shakeup

The PvP Strike Team has been busy tweaking matchmaking, particularly for larger fireteams and solo players. If you're part of a 6-player fireteam, expect more balanced matches against other large teams. Solo players, rejoice! You're far less likely to get thrown into the wolves' den against a full fireteam. Instead, you'll be matched more often with other solos or duos, making those Crucible matches feel fairer.

How to Take Advantage:

  • Fireteams:  Now is the time to gather your best 5 friends and dominate those team-based playlists. With the matchmaking changes, you'll be facing worthy opponents more consistently.
  • Solo Players:  Don't be afraid to jump into the Crucible. The reduced chance of facing full stacks means you can practice your skills and climb the ranks without feeling overly disadvantaged.

2. Exotic Class Item Drop Rates Adjusted

If you've been grinding for that elusive Exotic class item, Overthrow, you're in luck! Bungie has adjusted the drop rates to make it easier to obtain. This is a fantastic opportunity to complete your Exotic collection and experiment with new builds.

How to Take Advantage:

  • Keep Grinding:  The increased drop rate means you have a better chance of snagging Overthrow in activities like Legend and Master Lost Sectors, Nightfalls, or even through Prime Engrams. Don't give up!

3. BRAVE Arsenal Weapons Get a New Attunement

A new attunement option has been added for BRAVE Arsenal weapons, offering more flexibility and build crafting potential. This is excellent news for players who enjoy experimenting with different loadouts and playstyles.

How to Take Advantage:

  • Experiment: Head to the HELM and check out the new attunement options for your BRAVE Arsenal weapons. Try out different combinations to see how they affect your gameplay and discover new synergies.

4. Destiny Art Show and Bungie Foundation Tournament

The Destiny Art Show is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the community's creativity and passion. The Bungie Foundation Tournament finale is also happening, so tune in to the Bungie Foundation Twitch channel to witness some high-level PvP action and maybe grab the exclusive Repeat Repeat emblem!
