How Blue Drops Change in Destiny 2: Witch Queen
Destiny 2 will launch its Witch Queen expansion at the end of February, and like with any other Destiny 2 expansion, Witch Queen will be bringing with it a number of major changes to the looter-shooter. Not only will Destiny 2 players see The Tangled Shore and Forsaken campaign vaulted, but they will also see some significant changes to how the game's loot works when it comes to blue drops.
Destiny 2 blue drops are Rare-tier rewards that players earn in a number of ways. Destiny 2 players earn blue drops in the same ways that they get Legendary and Exotic rewards, which is by completing playlist activities or looting them from chests and dead enemies. When The Witch Queen expansion launches on February 22, blue drops will no longer be earned for completing playlist activities once players reach the soft Power Level cap of 1500.

After Destiny 2 players reach the soft cap of 1500, the only way to get blue drops will be by finding them in chests and looting them from enemies. Bungie hopes this will cut down on the time Destiny 2 players spend managing their inventories and visiting the Postmaster at the Tower. Replacing blue drops as playlist activity rewards will be an increased chance of getting Legendary gear and Legendary Shards.
Overall, this seems like it will be a positive change to Destiny 2 and will be well-received by players, especially those who are well beyond the need for blue drops. It shouldn't really have any impact on new Destiny 2 players who rely on blue drops for that initial Power Level grind, and on paper, sounds as though it will simply make the endgame a little less tedious for the more hardcore players out there.
