This week in Destiny confirmed major changes are coming to exotic class item drop rates, along with the long awaited return of attunements in Onslaught.

In “early Aug.” players will have an “increased chance” of getting exotic class items by completing Overthrow activities. Along with this, “unrelated” Pale Heart chests in freeroam are less likely to contain an exotic class item. Dual Destiny is also gaining a weekly challenge that will award an additional exotic class item each week.

The Final Shape introduced new Exotic Class Items that can roll with some awesome perk combinations that enhance your Prismatic builds. This has made them a highly sought-after reward, and we’ve seen feedback from players that it’s currently difficult to get enough drops to target the rolls you want.

To address this, we’re currently targeting the following changes for early August:

  • Increasing chances for drops when opening Overthrow chests.
    • As you open chests tied Overthrow activities, your chances will increase.
    • Higher tiered chests give bigger increases to drop chances.
    • This should decrease the amount of time it takes (on average) to get an Exotic Class Item, but we’ll be watching the feedback and tuning further if necessary.
  • Reducing chances from unrelated Pale Heart chests in freeroam to encourage Overthrow participation.
  • Increased chance stored up from Overthrow chests apply to Lost Sectors and Co-Op missions that take place in the Pale Heart.

Additionally, we’re adding a weekly challenge to Dual Destiny. Players will be able to earn one additional Exotic Class Item when completing this activity per week, per character. Subsequent completions will function normally.

We are also aware of player feedback concerning the desire for these Exotics to come from more activities outside of the Pale Heart. Many thanks to all who’ve been giving feedback, and we’ll continue to monitor after the above-mentioned changes go live.

These changes are likely in response to the large number of complaints, and rise in macro farming. These changes will likely not completely kill said farming, just make it less advantageous. As with everything, it will be interesting to see what these changes look like in person.

That said, it’s unfortunate a knockout, or other deterministic path is not currently on the menu. For many that is the crux, with the drop rate being more of a symptom, that will hopefully be addressed in the future.

With update 8.0.5 players will gain the ability to attune weapons in Onslaught. This was a feature present when the mode originally released that vastly increased the chances of getting a specific weapon. To help make things easier, Bungie also increased the rate from 50, to 60 percent. This still won’t guarantee a desired roll, but it will make the path to getting one a lot easier.

BRAVE ARSENAL WEAPON ATTUNEMENT IS BACK

During Destiny 2: Into the Light, players could attune to BRAVE Arsenal weapons in the Hall of Champions to improve a targeted weapon’s drop chance. We’re ready to introduce a new way to attune to BRAVE Arsenal weapons from Onslaught.

In Update 8.0.5, players can visit Zavala in the Tower to access a new Onslaught Attunement menu. From there, players can select a single BRAVE Arsenal weapon they’d like to attune to, increasing the drop chance by 60% in Onslaught. This is an increase from the 50% drop chance increase the Into the Light attunement system provided.

There is no cooldown or cost, so you can swap your chosen weapon at any time and your selected weapon will remain attuned until you change it or deactivate the attunement.

If you’re chasing an elusive BRAVE Arsenal god roll, now is the perfect time to jump in and try your luck. We’ll be checking out your feedback, so let us know how the new system feels.
