However, with changes to the game for Destiny 2, the need for in depth analysis of things such as Exotic or Legendary weapons has decreased.

In the next Destiny 2 expansion, Guardians will be making a return to Mars. Warmind will be coming out for PlayStation 4, XBox One and PC on May 8th.

From there, the first details about the v1.1.3 patch coming next week are revealed with particular note about Nightfall Strike Scoring, “the first version of the Prestige Nightfall Challenge Card.

In a new blog post on the Destiny 2 / Bungie blog, Game Director Christopher Barrett lets players know that the development roadmap has been adjusted to push several features back. This includes adjustments to the Nightfall Strike perks and the equipment mod overhaul. Both were slated to arrive in game by May 2018, but Barrett feels the team wants to ensure each feature meets “a sufficiently high quality bar” and that artists are given the “extra time to make things super…cool”.
