Bungie has officially dropped the Implement of Curiosity, the highly anticipated Edge of Fate artifact of Destiny 2, giving us a full rundown of its monumental benefits and how they vow to change Guardian builds strategically. As the last days wind down to when the Edge of Fate expansion drops, this drop gives players a well-needed look at how the meta changes, including for Solar, Strand, and Stasis subclasses.
The Curiosity Implement is poised to leave its mark on gameplay, with its perk set particularly crafted to augment the potency of Solar, Strand, and Stasis playstyles. One of the highlight revivals is Threaded Blast, which is a fan-favorite perk that is another indication of Bungie’s commitment to refining and improving existing abilities on these elemental systems. The precision with which this is done results in the suggestion that Guardians opting for these builds will have new means of unleashing destructive combat potential and intricate synergy.
In addition to subclass-specific benefits, the artifact wisely includes a set of “Elemental” mods. These versatile additions guarantee even Arc- or Void-dedicated Curriculumser Guardians will have use for the Implement of Curiosity, as these mods are beneficial in all ways regardless of elemental specialization. This generalized utility extends the artifact’s use, presenting it as a worthwhile find for the overall player base.
Additionally, the artifact also touches on the cornerstone element of anti-champion battles, a topic that is distinct to Destiny 2 end-game content. Implement of Curiosity boasts a strong set of anti-champion bonuses affecting Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Sidearms, and Hand Cannons specifically. Adaptive elements like anti-Overload on Auto Rifles and SMGs, and anti-Barrier on Scout and Pulse Rifles, give Guardians adaptive tools to take on the strongest enemies within the game.
With bonuses such as Flame Fiber Freeze, Elemental Benevolence, and Frigid Glare, the Edge of Fate artifact certainly heralds a legendary comeback for Stasis, Strand, and Solar. The buffs on exotic weapons such as Heartshadow and Tommy’s Matchbook that follow only go to enhance the significance of this new start for Destiny 2, with promises of an invigorated and lively experience for its faithful followers.
