-
- Additional information can be found in the "This Week at Bungie - 5/21/2020" blog article.
-
- Season 8 and Season 9 Season Pass and Exotic quest weapons can be acquired from the Cryptarchs.
-
- Related quests have been removed.
-
- Weapon ornaments have been added to Collections.
- Reload Perk Changes
-
- Design notes:
-
- Reload stat: 0-100, and maps onto an archetype-specific reload animation speed.
- Reload duration scale: most reload perks also apply a small multiplier to the reload animation, so that if the reload stat is capped, you still see a small speed bump (the same applies to some other perks, e.g. those that affect handling).
- Reload empty duration scale: as above, but only applies if the magazine is empty.
- Note that because most weapons have fairly high reload stats, dropping reload bonus from +100 to +50 will still cap the reload stat most of the time, resulting in an overall fairly small change to final speed (this still opens some design space however),
-
- Outlaw
-
- Reload stat from +100 to +50.
- Reload duration scale from 0.8 to 0.9.
-
- Feeding Frenzy
-
- Functionality changed to give increased reload speed based on number of rapid kills (up to five stacks).
- Max reload duration scale from 0.83 to 0.8 (i.e. a little faster than currently).
- Max reload stat unchanged at +100.
-
- Rapid Hit
-
- Adjusted stack to stat mod curve to give less benefit for the first hit and more with subsequent hits.
- Reload stat from +100 to +60.
- Reload duration scale from 0.8 to 0.925.
- Stability stat from +50 to +25.
-
- Drop Mag
-
- Reload duration scale from 0.85 to 0.9 (which just brings it in line with Outlaw).
-
- Field Prep – unchanged, but for reference:
-
- Reload stat +50
- Reload duration scale 0.8
-
- Alloy Mag – unchanged, but for reference:
-
- Reload empty duration scale 0.6666
-
- Design notes:
-
- Other Perk Changes
-
- Dynamic Sway Reduction
-
- Adds 10 stability over time in addition to accuracy.
-
- Pulse Monitor
- Reload amount from 0.35 to 1.0.
-
- +50 handling
- 5% faster swap speed (this will be most noticeable if the above caps handling stat).
- This works on stowed weapons too, which was already the case but makes it a lot more useful.
-
- Hipfire Grip
-
- 1.2x aim assist falloff.
- +15 aim assist.
- +1.7 degrees precision hip fire angle threshold.
- By default, when hip-firing a weapon the center of your reticle must be over a target in order to get a crit, otherwise aim assist will give you a body shot. This change gives you a little leniency, so if the center of your reticle is not directly over a target you will still get the crit if you’re within this angle.
- Has no effect on Sniper Rifles.
-
- Sneak Bow
-
- Now doesn't ping radar when shooting.
-
- Dynamic Sway Reduction
-
- General Archetype Changes
-
- Slug Shotgun PvE Damage + 30%.
- High-Impact Pulse Rifle damage per bullet from 21 to 22 – this changes it from six crits to five crits/one body to kill a guardian in PvP at most resiliences.
- Bow PvE damage vs minors + 10%
-
- Bug Fixes
-
- Fixed a bug in which casting Ward of Dawn from extremely high platforms allows players to retain the Damage Resistance from the activation.
- Fixed a bug in which players can get into a state where their Fist of Havoc melee attack will be replaced with a sword swing.
- Made it so it's harder to deal significant damage to yourself with Handheld Supernova when used in the air.
- Perks that grant partial weapon ammo now respect shot count for burst weapons. This means that these perks will now work correctly on Pulse Rifles, Fusion Rifles, and Burst Sidearms, so these perks will be more common on those weapon archetypes in the future.

- Slideways
- Slideshot
- Ambitious Assassin
- Subsistence
- Overflow

Armor
- The Powerful Friends armor mod will no longer stack. If multiple copies of this mod are equipped, the mods will provide no bonus stats.
-
- Developer Commentary:
-
- Only Solar Seasonal mods are intended to stack. No part of Arc mods are intended to have stacking functionality.
-
-
-
- Powerful Friends granted +20 to Mobility, which players could leverage to get three stat columns to the max of 100 points. The mod is not priced sufficiently to justify its benefits, and increasing its cost would have adverse effects on its primary benefit usage.
- Season 11 introduces a new Arc mod, granting a similar stat bonus to Strength and will not stack.
-
- Developer Commentary:
-
- Enhanced Auto Rifle Loader, Enhance Fusion Rifle Loader, and Enhanced Bow Loader armor mods now have a chance to drop from pinnacle mod sources.
- Addressed several mod visibility and source string issues in the Mods Collection screen.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the Felwinter's Helm perk "Warlords End" to activate inconsistently.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Dunemarcher's Linear Actuators perk from triggering on yellow bars.
Finishers
- Fixed a bug that allowed players to get outside the map using the Gladiator's Bladerush finisher.
Power and Progression
- The power cap for weapons and armor has risen 50 points. All sources will now offer upgrades up to 1000, powerful sources up to 1050, and pinnacle sources will go to 1060.
Bounties and Pursuits
- Add three hours to the expiration time of all daily and repeatable bounties across the game.
- Tower repeatable bounties now display (Random Objective) on the vendor before purchase.
- Werner's Benevolence bounty will now trigger its associated Triumph.
Raid Rewards
The following raid Exotics now have increased drop chances:
- One Thousand Voices
- Anarchy
- Always on Time (Exotic Sparrow from secret chest in Scourge of the Past)
NOTE: Drop chance begins at 10% and increases to a max of 50% over 20 clears.
Vendor
Added the ability to use an Exotic Cipher to purchase a second Fated engram from Xur each week.
Platforms and Systems
- Fixed an issue where FPS could lock at 30 FPS when relaunching the game on Steam.
General
- The Season 10 Luminous Bright Engram has been retired, and in its place players can now obtain the new Season 11 Mnemonic Bright Engram.
