Bungie has made it abundantly clear that Future 2’s upcoming growth, The Last Form, is a fairly large deal. It’s not solely ending the 10-year story that started with Future in 2014, however it’s ushering in a new period of the sport, dramatically altering how courses and perks will work, introducing a brand new content material mannequin, reversing previous controversial selections, and upending plenty of techniques which have piled up through the years. Now, Bungie’s introduced that Future 2’s bounty system is the newest a part of the sport that’ll be receiving an enormous overhaul when The Last Form launches subsequent month.
Per a sequence of tweets from the Future 2 workforce account, bounties tied to ritual actions (i.e Crucible, Vanguard, and Gambit playlists) are going to get replaced by a rewards system the devs are calling the Ritual Pathfinder. These bounties are delivered by a slew of characters across the sport’s major hub, the Tower, and feed into weekly challenges that sometimes reward highly effective gear upon completion. All of those options will now apparently be wrapped up right into a single system, and presumably a single vendor. Distributors and challenges that aren’t immediately affiliated with the outlined ritual actions will probably be unaffected by these adjustments, akin to Banshee-44 and their weapon-centric challenges.
Upon the launch of The Last Form, all ritual bounties will probably be mechanically deserted, which is a blow to Future 2’s bounty preppers. You see, in preparation for brand new seasons, and particularly new expansions, Future 2 gamers typically full an extreme quantity of bounties and sit on them moderately than money them in. Bounties have a tendency to hold over between these releases, that means that cashing them in at the start of a brand new growth or season is a approach to shortly stage up by way of battle passes or new stage caps and get forward of the sport.
It looks like Bungie, figuring out Future 2 gamers had been starting to hoard their bounties forward of The Last Form’s launch, determined to get forward of the total unveiling of the Ritual Pathfinder with a purpose to save its group a while. Now that they know to not grind away at ritual exercise bounties within the lead-up to June 4, gamers can prioritize different in-game issues and actions, akin to grinding for holographic variations of the BRAVE arsenal in Future 2’s new horde mode.
