All the raids, which have craftable weapons, will have Tier bonuses at the Crafting Relic. New tiered armor will not have a slot for activity-specific mods. Players can purchase Legacy Armor from Hawthrone with Spoils on Conquest. One example of the new armor sets is from Shattered Throne.

- Gain a powerful overshield while performing your finisher. When you finish a target, release a slowing burst around you.

- Gain increasing damage resistance when you deal damage or land final blows. Finishers grant accelerated progress. At max stacks, the recharge increases the rate of ability recharge.

Destiny 2: Exotic Armor Ornaments
In the Monument of Triumph, you can apply all ornaments to Exotic armor pieces. Yes, that includes common ornaments and legendary ornaments. PvP modes will have ornaments deactivated. The change is to ensure visual clarity for opponents. The armor piece will appear as the ornament in your loadout menu, but will have the Exotic background. You can view all of your Exotic Armor ornaments per class in the Exotics section of the Collections.
Destiny 2 Announcements
To reduce the number of pop-up messages, players can view the announcement tabs. The screen includes a featured item carousel. It will be especially important for new and returning players not to get overwhelmed by all the pop-ups.
Destiny 2: Bright Engram Focusing
Bright Engrams will allow you to focus on specific items in the Eververse store. The focusing will cost one Eververse Engram and a specific amount of Bright Dust based on the item:
- 0 Bright Dust
- Standard Decryption with no focusing
- 300 Bright Dust
- Legendary Accessories
- Legendary Shaders
- Legendary Flair
- 600 Bright Dust
- Exotic Accessories
- Legendary Emotes
- Legendary Finishers
- 900 Bright Dust
- Exotic Weapon Ornaments
- Exotic Emotes
- Legendary and Exotic Armor Ornaments
Monument of Triumph items and items not previously available in Engrams or for Bright Dust will be in the Focused Engrams. Focused Engrams can not give Bright Dust. However, the standard decryption still grants Bright Dust. Each Bright Engram has a specific pool, and you will always pull an item you have not acquired.
