The power of the sun in the palm of your hand
The new season ofDestiny 2goes live today, and a rework of the Solar subclass arrives alongside it.Destiny 2Season of the Haunted adds new abilities to each class’ Solar capabilities, from more hammer-time to more anime.
A newvideopublished this morning goes into detail about what’s in store for each Solar subclass. Past reworks have shaken up subclasses quite a bit, but these seem focused on several new abilities, adding some more “oomph” to the moveset. The Bungie developers jokingly refer to this as “Operation Caliente,” meant to spice up abilities that have been stagnant.
Season of the Haunted also brings the Solar subclass into the 3.0 system of subclasses, using the Aspect and Fragment system. It might be worth saying hello to Ikora in the Tower to ensure you’ve got the additional abilities. There’s more info in the full Season of the HauntedDestiny 2patch notes here.
It’s haunting season
Altogether, these are some pretty cool updates for the Solar branch ofDestiny 2. Aside from the flashy new toys and abilities, the general move to solidify Solar’s identity (burn, but also heal) and sweeping changes outlined in the patch notes have a lot to dig into forDestiny 2players.
I’ve been off theDestiny 2train for a little while as other long-running games have stolen my attention. Which is,in some cases, a bit of a bummer. But it’s hard to not want to rebootDestiny 2and dive back in, knowing my Warlock can now snap enemies into flames.
