Overview of Upcoming Changes in Destiny 2
- Bungie announces quality of life improvements for Episode Heresy, reinstating Iron Banner to a one-week schedule.
- The cap on resources such as Strange Coins, Osirian Ciphers, and Nightfall Ciphers will see increases.
- Fans are eager for Episode Heresy, hoping it will address the shortcomings of the controversial Episode Revenant.
As we approach the release of Episode Heresy in February, Bungie has unveiled significant quality of life enhancements slated for Destiny 2. A notable change includes reverting the Iron Banner event to a one-week schedule, a shift that follows feedback from the community. As Episode Revenant concludes, players can engage with the final story arc and access new loot opportunities.
Episode Revenant elicited mixed reactions from the player base, marked by inconsistencies in story delivery and content quality. While some players found enjoyment in it compared to past episodes, many voiced concerns over gameplay mechanics, particularly highlighted by a problematic perk weight issue that affected player experience. With the conclusion of Revenant, enthusiasm is growing for Episode Heresy, with Bungie beginning to provide teasers for upcoming content.
Adjustments to Iron Banner’s Schedule

In addition to the cap increases, the Destiny 2 Team announced on Twitter that the Iron Banner would revert to one-week sessions for Episode Heresy. This decision was met with a generally positive reception, although it raised concerns among players who appreciated the previous two-week format, which provided them the necessary time to earn Iron Banner triumphs and enhance their reputation gains.
Looking ahead, the Destiny 2 community holds high hopes that Bungie will implement substantial improvements for Episode Heresy. Episode Revenant is perceived as a nadir for the franchise, contributing to a decline in player numbers, particularly following the earlier success of the The Final Shape expansion. The release cycle has faced criticism for various bugs, with some major issues first brought to light by players before receiving official fixes from Bungie.
As anticipation builds, the question remains: will Episode Heresy revitalize player engagement and address the grievances experienced during the previous episode? Players are eager to see how Bungie’s latest changes will impact overall gameplay and community sentiment.
