Earlier today, a portion of Destiny 2: The Final Shape was accidentally pushed live on PS5's streaming service. There are currently spoilers being shared online.

A small group of players were able to play some of the campaign, access Collections, and other reward info coming in The Final Shape and Echoes.

We recommend being very careful on social media over the next few days to avoid spoilers. Remember to exercise caution and be critical of potential misinformation. Please be considerate of others and report leaks so players can experience the conclusion of the Light and Darkness saga themselves.

Thanks to all our community members who have already helped us by reporting leaks and those actively working to prevent more of the experience from being shared before its intended date.

It's always extremely difficult when our team's hard work is leaked early, but we are still excited for everyone to experience the full release on June 4 together.

they mentioned they used it for some audio in Beyond Light in its vidoc but it was never confirmed exactly what it was used for

I have no idea how the rumors started about Stasis and breast pump. Now, The Lament I understand, at least it's mechanical, though still incorrect

Does changing fireteam invites to friends only affect LFG invites? Sorry if that's a stupid question some of these tips seem like they would keep you from playing w anyone if you wanted to do a raid or dungeon type activity.

I believe it would. For that specific issue, you could always turn on your Fireteam Invites to "Public" to use LFG then change it back to "Friends Only" once you're in the activity. I understand that may be cumbersome and annoying to have to do, which is one of the reasons we're working to resolve this issue as soon as we can.

We've been intensely investigating the issue that is causing players to receive the Pony error code when receiving invites and messages from other players.

To protect yourself, we recommend you perform the following in your game settings under the Social tab:

  • Turn off Friend and Clan invites
  • Set Fireteam Invites to "Friends Only"
    • If you want to use Fireteam Finder, you could turn this back to public until you start the activity
  • Set Whisper Chat to "Friends Only"
  • Remove long lapsed inactive friends and clan mates in your roster
  • and just for general security, remove players who you don't know from your friends list

We’re working to solve this issue as soon as possible. Once we announce the fix, feel free to change these settings again to your liking.

We've been preparing a preview article for the abilities and armor tuning coming in The Final Shape. With so many changes to cover, this was one of the largest articles we've ever written at around 9k words. So, we've decided to split it up. Here is what to expect this week.

The Abilities Tuning Preview will cover updates coming to all the Light and Darkness subclasses in The Final Shape, and it will be released this Wednesday at 10 AM PT.

Our Exotic Armor Tuning Preview will come out this Thursday at 10 AM PT, and This Week in Destiny will follow on Thursday at 11 AM PT as usual. We have a full TWID lined up too, it's going to be a fun week.

Also, this will only be available for 1 week according to the welcome msg on screen?

That welcome message was created before dates were finalized. The Pantheon will remain active until Destiny 2: Into the Light ends on June 3.

/u/destiny2team Can we get some clarity on this?

I imagine a lot of people are going to be wondering about this.

Hey there. Thanks for your report. Could you please share your Bungie Name with me so I can send it in for an investigation?

In next Tuesday's update, we are reducing the required number of Triumphs needed to earn the BRAVE Title from 10 to 9. The Title will still have 10 available Triumphs, but you can now just choose which 9 you’d like to complete for the Title.

We felt that the Breaking the Charge Triumph wasn’t quite hitting the difficulty mark we intended. It required either full clears on Legend over multiple weeks or full clears on Normal that relied on RNG. We hope this improves the experience for those looking to earn this Title.

u/Destiny2Team , are you guys planning on taking a look at the Avalanche machine gun from Dawning? It has an extremely low inventory size stat which makes it unappealing to use over literally every other machine gun in the game. Or is that just because it's a seasonal weapon and they are supposed to be less good than other weapons?

It's inventory stat is 20, and the next lowest I could find after a quick scan is 40, so it has half the amount of reserves of most LMGs in the game

We'll be taking a look at Avalanche's stats for next Dawning.

In The Final Shape, we’re introducing the Ritual Pathfinder, a new rewards path that will replace Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit bounties and their weekly vendor challenge. While the Pathfinder will replace bounties at these vendors, they will remain unchanged at other vendors.

We’ll have more info to share on the Pathfinder in the next couple of weeks. We wanted to give a heads up so everyone preparing for The Final Shape can prioritize how they spend their time. Any Ritual bounties held when The Final Shape releases on June 4 will be abandoned.

With the release of the PvP Map Pack, we want to give everybody the opportunity to experience the new maps going into the weekend. As such, the New Territory playlist will hold its place as the 3v3 Event node and Trials of Osiris will not be active this weekend.

Trials of Osiris will return next week and feature each of the new maps in the last three weeks of the Season, starting with Eventide Labs. Take this time to learn the maps and prepare for Trials next weekend!

How is everyone feeling about The Pantheon so far? We are keeping an eye on the feedback and want to hear your thoughts.

How is the difficulty?

Are the encounter tweaks enjoyable?

How do you feel about the scoring and time bonus?

This week, we made some changes to the way ADU Batteries work in Onslaught. While looking to fix a bug where Batteries could heal defenses, we decided to keep the healing with a few balance tweaks: we buffed the healing factor and made healing consume the Battery.

This is a great example of the community discovering something that was unintended, but fun, and our team looking for a way to lean in rather than just fixing the bug.

We felt this was interesting functionality and something worth analyzing as a potential permanent change. To start, we wanted to ensure it didn’t have griefing potential or introduce exploits.

We also wanted to avoid trivializing Legend Onslaught, where we want difficulty to matter. Next, we needed to ensure we could improve on the experience to communicate this functionality (adding VFX, audio, etc.) and test the new Batteries to make sure they felt good to use.

Pivoting on a design change like this so quickly can be chall...

Due to an issue preventing players from progressing in The Pantheon when joining at a checkpoint, we have disabled checkpoints for The Caretaker and Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets.

We have a change going live tomorrow on April 30 with how the Special ammo meter functions. Right now, the system is difficult to understand between modes, and there is a dramatic difference in the amount of ammo earned depending on a player's performance, which strongly favors a limited selection of weapons.

We will be reducing the number of mode-specific meter variants to one for respawn modes and one for elimination modes. We are reducing the amount of ammo awarded per transmat from two kill's worth to one, but the meter will now charge slightly more than twice as fast.

We are removing ability kills contributions towards the meter to reduce the advantage the Shotgun-melee combo has over other Special weapons for progressing the meter and to increase the focus on Primary ammo weapons for earning Special ammo.

We'll have more details from the PvP strike team on the Special ammo meter and these changes in this week's TWID.

If power level deltas for activities stay the same, there is seemingly no reason to get artifact power level at all when you reach pinnacle cap. Either that or they genuinely mean you need to be at 2020 (+20 artifact power level) to be at max effective power for GMs. Both of which sound kind of bad?

We wanted to offer some clarification here on how the new power cap will affect the difficulty for Grand Master Nightfalls. The new power cap isn't intended to increase the difficulty of GMs or increase the power requirements to get to the same difficulty as it is today. GMNFs will still be exactly as hard they are now at Pinnacle + 15, it's just that you can go up to Pinnacle + 20 and make it a bit easier if you like.

tl:dr you can grind an extra 5 artifact levels to get closer to the enemies' levels in GMs after The Final Shape.

We are currently investigating this. Recluse and Hammerhead not having enemy highlighting is a bug and we are currently working on a fix.

We're continuing to investigate this issue.

Until a fix is implemented, players in Legend Onslaught are advised to defeat the boss and claim their rewards up to Wave 40, and then exit the activity.
