The Season of the Drifter is here, and along with it, Bungie has made a ton of changes and updates to Destiny 2, including one of the biggest sandbox rebalances that the game has ever had. If you?ve gotten comfortable using certain weapons, you may want to check the list below, some of your favorites might be getting nerfed, while some underutilized weapons and Exotic armor pieces are seeing significant buffs that should help shake things up.

Gambit sees some big changes, outside of the addition of Gambit Prime. Even if you?re not interested in playing the new endgame version of Gambit, the normal mode will feel fresh and different with new blockers to deploy, private matches, and the third round?s shift to a sudden death round to make games go faster.
The usual vendor and Triumph changes moving into a new season are also present, with a new Bright Engram to earn, new pinnacle weapons to chase, and Xur now having the chance to sell Forsaken Exotics, if you are still missing any of them. Some glitched Triumphs have been fixed, and the infamous Last Wish guitar error that kept people from completing a flawless Petra?s Run of the Raid has been ?smashed.?
