As players pool their Polarized Fractaline into the Tower Obelisk ofDestiny 2in a mass bid for the final great Triumph of the Season, there is major anticipation for what the next Season will bring. While there have been some leaks, some definite news, and some awesomeDestiny 2Armor concepts, it is only now that Bungie is giving players a look into what changes will be definitely be coming to Armor in the next season ofDestiny 2.
That’s not to say some things have not been revealed already, especially when it comes to the upcoming rework of Swords. While the alterations to Swords will be game changing for manyDestiny 2players, the upcoming Armor changes sound much more universally beneficial without any serious drawbacks.

Armor 2.0, which was introduced with Shadowkeepand has had its own set of problems, is set to see two major changes going into the next Season to make players' lives easier. The first of these is the ability for players to change the elemental affinity of a piece of armor. At the moment,Destiny 2players are stuck with whatever elemental affinity is rolled when the armor piece gets dropped, which can be inconvenient when every part of the armor except the element is exactly what a player wanted. In the upcoming Season, and presumably all Seasons hence, players will be able to change an armor piece’s Elemental Affinity by spending an Upgrade Module.
The other major change to Armor 2.0 will be to the Seasonal armor mods. At the moment, a piece of armor from a certain Season can only hold a special mod from that same Season, a feature which could easily leave anyone who went on a seriousDestiny 2grindfor a specific mod or armor piece feeling sour that certain combinations could not be made. This will change next Season, with the Seasonal mod socket on a piece of armor also able to hold the mod from Seasons directly before and after the Season in which that armor piece was released.
The new changes to Armor 2.0 will no doubt be a huge salve for manyDestiny 2players as theyprepare themselves for the upcoming Trials of Osiris, now with Armor that behaves how they want it to. In a game where a strategy is often determined by what one has access to at the time, any feature that minimizes the randomness of drops is something to be treasured.
It is also nice to see Bungie responding to players' feedback about game features and how they can be improved. Now if it just listens when players throw out ideas abouthow to shake up mechanics likeDestiny 2’s swords, the game will really be in business.
Destiny 2is available on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Stadia.
