Ho ho ho!

Hello Destiny friends, and non-Destiny friends. This is for Destiny friends! If you aren’t a Destiny friend, mayhap you should consider becoming one!?!?! Destiny’s major year 3 expansion Shadowkeep is going to launch in a little over a week on October 1. The base game, its 3 expansions, as well as the 3 post-Forsaken seasonal releases are all becoming free to play as part of the Destiny 2: New Light initiative. All existing items are being boosted to the current level cap of 750, and all New Light players will also start at that level. That means you can jump right in and play with those friends who have been nagging you to join them without having to grind for 100 hours through dated garbage story content and burn out long before you can play with said friends, who in the meantime continued outleveling you. (lookin at you, FFXIV…)

There’s never been a better time to get into Destiny 2, especially with all the core system changes coming our way.

First, some stuff about Steam and Cross Save.
Next, some stuff you should do RIGHT NOW to make sure you don't miss out on extra mod components and bright dust that you absolutely will lose if you don't do this before Shadowkeep launches.

Cross Save
Do you play on console? Would you like to play with the superior controls of mouse and keyboard? Cross Save is now a thing, so you can bring your XBOX or PS4 save over to PC (or vice versa). More info here: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave

Steam migration
Destiny is moving to Steam and saying goodbye to Battle.net. Head over here to make sure your Battle.net account is linked and all your data is migrated and ready to go: https://www.bungie.net/PCMove

WHICH VERSION DO I BUY ON STEAM?!?!
Standard edition is $35 and includes Shadowkeep and the first drop of seasonal content, Season of the Undying. Deluxe is $60 and includes Shadowkeep and the next 4 Seasons (with some bonus forgettable cosmetics).
After release, seasons will cost $10 each. If you know you’re here to play Destiny, the Deluxe edition gets you all $40 worth of seasons for a discounted price of $25
For the next week both editions count as pre-orders and will include the Two Tailed Fox rocket launcher (it’s good, folks) and and cosmetic skin/ornament for it.


OKAY! Here’s what you should do RIGHT NOW to make sure you don’t lose out on any potential items when Bungie flips the switch and changes a bunch of ♥♥♥♥:


Dismantle ALL BUT ONE of your weapon mods. Not your armor mods. Save those!
Shadowkeep is overhauling the mod system, changing it so mods are non-consumable and hot swappable for the cost of glimmer and shards. This means that your existing mods will count towards unlocking them for the new system and all currently existing mods in your inventory will (probably) be reduced to 1 of each type. If you don’t dismantle those extra mods, they’ll disappear into the ether and take with them the dozens of mod components you could have gained by dismantling them. For example: If you have 5 Rampage Spec mods, dismantle 4 of them for the mod components and save the 1 remainder. If you only have 1 Rampage Spec, and it’s already slotted into a weapon, it will not count; you’ll have to either dismantle that gun to reclaim the mod or obtain another one from Ada before it will unlock for use in Shadowkeep.


Dismantle ALL Eververse items: shaders, transmat effects, ships, ghosts, sparrows, seasonal armor, etc., _even ones you’re currently using_ unless you really, really like the perks on your armor and want to keep using it until you get better 2.0 gear.
After Shadowkeep, ALL Eververse armor will become universal ornaments, able to be applied to any piece of 2.0 armor. Additionally, Eververse items will no longer dismantle into bright dust, which means you’ll could potentially lose out on tens of thousands of bright dust. Once the expansion hits all Eververse items can be reclaimed from collections for only shards and glimmer, with dust being used solely for purchases. Go to https://www.destinyitemmanager.com/ and type source:eververse into the search bar in the top right corner to highlight everything you need to dismantle.

I think that’s all? There might be more. I’m writing this in notepad on the 13th and saving it for later. I’ll probably forget to remove this line when I copy and paste it into the chat.

edit: I did. I forgot to remove that. Leaving it in now.
