Just like in previous seasons and new expansions, big changes are coming to several of Destiny 2’s Exotic armor pieces in The Final Shape. Bungie has outlined plans to adjust 19 Exotics across all Guardian classes, bringing them up to date with the game’s current state and preparing them for the new Prismatic subclass when The Final Shape launches.
Bungie says it has focused on updating Exotic armor and armor mods to reference a player’s equipped Super element instead of a specific subclass, allowing those effects to work more smoothly with Prismatic. This in turn will allow their effects to function on Prismatic without changing their behavior on the original subclass. Some of the changes outlined below are very good, with Khepri’s Horn, Mantle of Battle Harmony, and Triton Vice being the big winners here.
The sad news is that some of the other Exotics are getting a nerf, and you’ll probably recognize them for being very popular in Destiny 2, especially in high-level content. Cenotaph and Sunbracers are being hit particularly hard here because Warlocks can never catch a break in Destiny 2, especially after this week dropped a bombshell on players who specialize in popping Well of Radiance Supers for their fireteam.
