Destiny 2 Final Shape Exotic Armors Will Let You Mix And Match Perks
When The Final Shape expansion hits Destiny 2 on June 4, it’s bringing a lot of new loadout mechanics that will let players combine different aspects of the character classes they’ve been using for years with the new Prismatic subclass. Going along with Prismatic is a new slate of Exotic armors in the class item slot that also play up the theme of combining old things into something new, and they’re going to be worth chasing as you explore the Pale Heart of the Traveler.
Bungie spent a big chunk of its latest This Week in Destiny blog post detailing how these new Exotic class items will work in The Final Shape. The quick and dirty explanation is that each new class item can carry two different Exotic perks, which are slightly adjusted versions of the perks you can get from existing Exotic armor pieces that are already in the game. The two perks are randomly assigned, however, so you’ll likely need to farm for the perfect combination for each type of character.
The armor pieces are meant to function in a similar way to Prismatic, which combines elements from multiple existing subclasses, giving you the opportunity to use abilities and buffs together that you previously couldn’t. The class Exotics work the same way, allowing you to make use of perks that previously would have been specific to certain subclasses. Bungie also said that it included some perks that are meant to function specifically with Prismatic elements and Aspects.
