Bungie Explains How Tower Vendors Will Change in Destiny 2: Witch Queen

gamerant.com:

Bungie is releasing Destiny 2: The Witch Queen in February and it just released a big blog post detailing several changes coming to the game on top of what players can expect from the new expansion. Included with all of these are notable changes to Tower vendors.

According to Bungie, the Gunsmith Banshee-44 is getting a new reputation system similar to the other vendors in the Tower like Zavala and Shaxx. In order to switch to the new system, Bungie is changing the items currently associated with the Gunsmith reputation to a new set of rewards. Destiny 2 players will continue to dismantle Legendary and Exotic weapons and armor with Banshee-44 in order to earn Reputation Rank.

Bungie has also stated that Destiny 2 fans will still be able to complete daily Gunsmith bounties in order to earn Reputation Rank during the Witch Queen expansion. Some Gunsmith reputation rewards that players might want to look at before their removal include items like Foundry weapons, Gunsmith Materials, Weapon Telemetries, shaders, and Armor Mods. Fans have until the release of The Witch Queen on February 22 to exchange their Gunsmith Materials and Weapon Telemetries for current items.

Weapon and armor mods sold by Banshee-44 and Ada-1 will no longer require Mod Components to purchase according to Bungie, and they will cost 10,000 Glimmer each under the new system. Mod Components will be removed from Destiny 2 completely with The Witch Queen, so players may want to dispose of this resource ahead of the expansion's release as well. Because Mod Components are being removed from the game, Ghost Mods that generated Weapon Telemetries will also be removed due to redundancy.
