In Destiny 2 Season 22, Bungie plans to make significant quality-of-life improvements and core sandbox updates. This is one of the largest updates in Year 6 so far, as Destiny 2 consistently receives updates to enhance features and address bugs.
As the Season of the Deep comes to a close, Season 22 will bring players one step closer to the highly anticipated Final Shape expansion in 2024. Bungie has scheduled a Destiny 2 Showcase on August 22, where they will unveil new information about upcoming seasons and the expansion, including the explanation behind Cayde-6's return. In anticipation of the showcase, Bungie has shared several details about what fans can expect in Seasons 22 and 23.
Bungie's State of the Game blog post for Destiny 2 provides details on the exciting changes coming in Season 22. In this new season, players will have the ability to pin up to 100 shaders, ornaments, and emotes. These pinned cosmetics will appear at the top of their respective lists, making it convenient for players to quickly access their favorite items when browsing the menu. Additionally, in Season 22, transmat cosmetic items will no longer be consumables but will instead be treated as unlocks per account. This improvement ensures that players can enjoy these cosmetic items without the concern of running out or needing to repurchase them. Furthermore, the much-requested move of Stasis Aspects and Fragments to the vendor system will finally be happening in Season 22. Upon completing the Beyond Light campaign, players will be able to obtain all available Stasis Aspects and Fragments from Elsie Bray, located in Europa.
In Season 22, the Wish-Ender exotic quest will be condensed into a single quest line. Charged and uncharged discs will no longer count as inventory items during the progression of this exotic quest. Bungie will also introduce a Resource tab in the Collections menu, which will provide details about currencies, upgrade materials, and engrams in Destiny 2, including information on how to acquire and use these resources. Additionally, when the Iron Banner event returns in Season 22, players can expect two "stacking" challenges per day. One challenge can be completed without using seasonal subclasses, while the second challenge will offer pinnacle rewards for using seasonal subclasses in matches.
A quality-of-life improvement for Destiny 2 Season 22 involves immediate rank-up rewards in Crucible activities. Moving forward, players will receive ritual rank rewards right after leveling up, eliminating the need to return to orbit at the end of a PvP match.
In Season 22, Destiny 2 aims to enhance gameplay convenience for fans by streamlining existing features. The long-awaited ritual rank-up change, which some fans requested as early as Season 3, finally arrives. Bungie is dedicated to improving player experience with Destiny 2 and its numerous in-game systems, setting the stage for The Final Shape's launch. Play Destiny 2 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
