Release Notes for Destiny 2 Season 5: Nerves, Loading Times, and Black Armory

It's the beginning of the holiday season for us and the beginning of a new season for Destiny 2. Season of the Forge, the fifth season of the game's life, has been featured on live servers, followed by many game changes. The Season 5 patch contains many bugfixes – some important, others less – but it also adjusts the game quite significantly.

We have gone through the official release notes so that you do not have to do it. Here's everything you need to know about Season 5 of destiny 2.

1. Balancing weapons and armor poses a favorite gun of the fans to rest

As with all Destiny patches, Season 5 is full of minor weapon changes that, in good hands, could make all the difference. The most notable change in this patch is Trenched Barrel, the advantage that made the Ikelos rifle Warmind so good. Additional damage dealt after a melee shot now disappears after three shots instead of being on a timer. The exotic hand gun Ace of Spades is also a little nerve and will only hold five more shots of Memento Mori, against six before.

In the best news, the broken gauntlets of Ursa Furiosa – which could give a Titan some almost unlimited PvP fame – have been considerably muted. The machine guns have increased the accuracy of this patch and the SMGs have increased their range. The high impact scout rifles also undergo a very small improvement, which should guarantee that three shots will be enough to kill any Guardian.

2. New pinnacle weapons for all

It does not matter if you own Abandoned, the update of season 5 reserves you a serious job of grinding. As of this update, three new Pinnacle weapons are available for everyone: the Mountaintop, Loaded Question and Breakneck. These are weapons awarded to the best of the best in their activities, which are respectively competitive PvP, strikes and the Gambit.

Each weapon is accompanied by a long or difficult quest, but should be worthwhile once completed.

3. Black Armory

On December 4, the Black Armory mini-extension will be launched for all players who own the Destiny 2 Annual pbad. This will come with the usual offers, like more weapons, exotic and a new raid. Over the next four weeks or so, new activities will open up for Black Armory the players to experiment. At the end of January, Black Armory players can embark on a quest to find an old exotic fan favorite – which seems to be the last word of destiny.

Black Armory comes with the annual pbad for $ 34.99. Joker's Wild and twilight – the two mini extensions planned for March and June, respectively – are also included in the annual pbad. Activision will not sell add-ons on an ad hoc basis.

4. Gambit becomes a bit more fair

Since the mode came out with Abandoned, players have found all sorts of ways to manipulate and enrich Gambit bosses. Summoning the Primeval – the boss at the end of each match – was not always the best move, for example. The Season 5 patch aims to change this by reducing the catch-up mechanism for late teams.

In Season 5, players from the losing team will only receive a maximum of an improvement buff before calling the boss for themselves, against three previously. This may not sound like much, but the buff greatly increases the damage. Summoning the Primeval for the first time is still not a win without a call, but it should at least help you take the advantage instead of harming it.

5. More five-minute tower loads

Look, this is definitely not the badiest change Destiny 2 Season 5, but it's the one you'll notice the most. If you play on console, you've probably already felt the charge of a charge of several minutes in the tower before.

Fortunately, you will now be able to load much faster than before. It will not be instantaneous, but you should definitely spend more time in Destiny defeating Fallen and less making a sandwich while your ship Eververse three seasons ago is flying in space.
