Destiny 2 will get less tedious in The Witch Queen
Destiny2is a game all about grind, and it does it well. But even the great grindy games can become tedious, and Destiny is no exception. WhenThe Witch Queen expansion launches on Feb. 22, Bungie will be revamping some of Destiny 2’s reputation systems, shortening the grind for all.
In Thursday's Destiny blog post, Bungie showcased a host of changes coming to the game’s reputation system next month. For those not in the know, playing ritual playlists (Strikes, Crucible, and Gambit) gives reputation, allowing players to rank up the activity’s associated vendor and get some sweet rewards. Players who play more than one of the same activity in a row will go on a streak, further increasing reputation.
Power gains, resources, and the seasonal ritual weapon are all locked behind reputation, but Bungie thinks it’s taking players a bit too long to chew through those ranks. Starting in The Witch Queen, Vanguard reputation will be twice as fast and move even faster on streaks. Nightfalls will also have better multipliers and completion bonuses.
Trials of Osiris will also get a reputation boost based on how many rounds players won in a particular match — incentivizing players to try even if they’re losing. The Summoner auto rifle will also return to the activity next season, alongside a new weapon Bungie isn’t talking about yet.

Like Strikes, Gambit rank-ups are slower than Bungie wants, but with the Gambit rework coming in The Witch Queen, the studio is holding off until the dust settles.
Despite all of these
