Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is on the horizon, and before it lands there are big changes on the way to the Eververse store, which deals in cosmetics.
Bungie's Luke Smith announced these changes in an official blog post on Bungie.net. One of the big things he talked about was the Armor 2.0 system that's on the way in Shadowkeep.
'As of this September, all Eververse armor is being converted into Universal Ornaments.' he says. 'These Universal Ornaments can be applied to all of the Legendary armor sets we’re releasing this Fall. They override the look of your equipped gear while preserving the perks, mods, and stats of the original item.'
It's a pretty cool idea, and it essentially means that the look of the armour is completely separate to how it performs. 'It stinks to go to the Eververse store and see an item that looks cool and then seeing that the item has bad perks on it,' Smith says.
There are also changes on the way for Bright Dust, which is the currency used to buy items from the Eververse store. 'This Fall we’re changing Bright Dust from a pay- and/or play-to-earn currency to a play-to-earn reward,' says Smith.
He then elaborates on the change, saying, 'We’re adding Bright Dust as a reward for completing Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit bounties. We want all players to earn Dust for playing, not for spending money and destroying a bunch of items in their inventory.'
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is set to release on September 17, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. To check out our review of Destiny 2, click here.
