The official Twitter account of Destiny 2 recently dropped some major news for players ahead of Lightfall in February. With the seasonal storyline and the initial days of EXP farming coming to an end for most players, it's now time to prepare for bigger content in the coming days. Bungie will be changing things up a bit, as they would like to call them "a preview of things to come in Lightfall."

While this did come as a surprise to many players, the changes mentioned in their posts have been positively received within the community. From reducing the cost of focusing on weapons to making Grandmaster Nightfalls more beginner-friendly, players are certainly in for a treat in the upcoming weeks of Destiny 2 Season 19.


Major Destiny 2 changes announced by Bungie which include armor mods, focus costs, and more

On January 11, Bungie announced multiple changes that will be implemented within the next week. With noteworthy additions confirmed for the Lightfall expansion, the company wants to hold a short preview of everything they have in store. Starting with build crafting, players will be getting access to all standard mods currently present in the game.

Regarding the addition of mods in Destiny 2, Bungie stated:

"As a preview of things to come in Lightfall, we have some exciting updates coming soon. Tomorrow, all standard Armor Mods are unlocked for everyone! With big changes coming to buildcrafting in Lightfall, we want to give everyone a chance to enjoy all mods in their current state."

The changes will be made along with the daily reset on January 11, as every player will gain access to all mods in their inventories. However, this does not apply to Raid mods and Adept mods from Master Dungeons and Grandmaster Nightfall. Additionally, weapons from Gambit, Vanguard, Trials of Osiris, and Iron Banner will require 25 Legendary Shards. Similarly, Adept weapons from Saint-14 will cost 50 Legendary Shards.

Lastly, with Grandmaster Nightfalls scheduled for January 17, Bungie stated the following regarding the changes coming in the endgame activity:

"In our next update, the Grandmaster Power cap and structure will become more approachable for all players, while remaining some of our most challenging content."

By stating that it's "approachable for all players," Bungie could mean a lot going forward this season. Grandmaster Nightfalls could have their power requirements reduced by 10 overall, or they could change the overall model to something like a Master content, where players are not capped at a specific power level.

Destiny 2 Lightfall has less than a few months left before it hits the official servers on February 28.
