Destiny 2 is a constantly evolving game, with Bungie already discussing the tweaks they plan to make in the upcoming season. One area of focus is Strand's Tangle mechanics, which the developers aim to adjust to reduce cooldown times. Strand is the newest subclass in Destiny 2, allowing players to use the Darkness to manipulate the universe's strings. With its grapple mechanic and new methods of engaging enemies, Strand offers players a range of options to explore. Tangles are a vital component of Strand, which can be created by any Guardian using Strand abilities to defeat foes. These orbs can be picked up and thrown to trigger explosions, as well as provide free grapple points to help players move around without using their grenade cooldown.
Since its release with Destiny 2: Lightfall, Strand has been a consistently enjoyable gameplay experience. However, the developers at Bungie have been continuously improving it through various adjustments. In response to the community's frequently asked questions about the game's sandbox, Bungie announced in this week's TWID post that they plan to reduce the Tangle cooldown from 15 seconds to 12 in Season 22. This change aims to address the reliance on Tangles for many Strand builds, and the difficulties players face with their cooldowns when teammates pick up their Tangles.
Bungie is committed to perfecting Strand's gameplay flow, even though it is not yet flawless. The Tangle cooldown mechanic is put in place to limit the chaos that Strand can unleash on the battlefield. Without this limit, fans would likely find optimal methods to create Tangles through their Guardian's builds. Despite its limitations, Strand remains a popular choice of subclass among the game's community. However, since the launch of the latest season, Strand has been plagued by bugs, along with other aspects of the game. Fans remain hopeful that ongoing hotfixes will continue to address these issues as they arise.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
