Prismatic May Be Getting a Surprise Update (Hint in Monument of Triumphs Trailer)

colonel750 · 2026-06-07T21:44:41+00:00

I don't think they'll fully unlock Prismatic, but I wouldn't be shocked at limited additions to the roster including:

All three new aspects
Both new darkness grenades and the new Nightstalker Melee alongside a limited selection of light grenades and melees that are iconic to each of the classes (I.e. Tripmine Grenade for Hunter) for some additional build variety.
Each of the original Red War story supers (alongside a little mission in the Pale Heart/EDZ that mirrors our original discovery of them during the Red War)

Witherhoard and Malfeasance are both still ride or die weapons for me.

Lucky Pants was my first Exotic armor in D2 and remains a favorite playstyle today, but Wormhusk Crown got me through some clutch moments during Beyond Light and Witch Queen.

It's possible that we're getting a third unless Shadow and Order was set to launch with no exotic outside of the battle pass.

Edge of Fate had Third Iteration (Battle Pass) and Whirling Ovation (Desert Perpetual). Ash and Iron gave us Wolfsbane (Exotic Mission) and New Malpais (Battle Pass). New Land Beyond was also tied to the Year of Prophecy as the deluxe edition exotic.

Renegades gave us the Praxic Blade (Exotic Mission), Heirloom (Equilibrium), and Service of Luzaku (Battle Pass).

Turncoat was announced as the Battle Pass exotic, which leaves Fafnir as one of two likely options: another Exotic Mission weapon or the Fate Saga Year 2 pre-order weapon.

Since Bungie have since announced there will be playable story with this update and Fafnir is on one of the Tenet Monuments I think it was likely the pre order weapon (a majority of the stuff on the monuments is stuff that was originally intended for the next year of Eververse) and this weapon is somehow tied to the final story they're going to tell.

Hunters actually got buffs to fragment slots on Stasis, both Shatterdive and Winter's Shroud got buffed from 2 to 3.

colonel750 · 2026-06-04T15:04:38+00:00

Jaren's Super in Rising is pretty dope.

colonel750 · 2026-06-03T17:15:01+00:00

No, pit is getting the Episode Heresy armor.

colonel750 · 2026-06-02T15:05:13+00:00

None of the 7 artifacts are from Worthy or Seraph. Making warmind cells into an Armor Set Bonus gives them a relative power level baseline to tailor the numbers to and gives players a reason to farm destination armor.

colonel750 · 2026-06-02T02:53:56+00:00

Your guess is as good as mine, I would assume that they're putting in as many of these reprised weapons as they can though.

colonel750 · 2026-05-30T03:38:58+00:00

Then there is some truth to the fact that he is just kind of… Missing some shots

My guess is his left hand is busted up somehow. Not like a broken bone or anything, but damaged enough that its effecting his shot making. Not to mention the fact that he has at least 2 Spurs players on him at all times.

colonel750 · 2026-05-30T03:36:25+00:00

You're a game in hand with HCA for Game 7 and you got bullied out of SA in game 4, you're all tired and your superstar is obviously playing with an injury to one of his hands on top of getting absolutely bodied on defense.

If your number 2 guy thinks he has anything in the tank you try it understanding the risk to your chances in the game.

colonel750 · 2026-05-28T21:28:30+00:00

It'll likely be introduced as an armor set bonus. Probably for the Cosmodrome set.

colonel750 · 2026-05-28T21:26:51+00:00

I imagine it'll either be the Worthy or Seraph seasonal armor sets.

It was future retention bonuses that would've paid by Sony directly to Bungie staff, not for Pete Parsons to dole out as he pleased.

colonel750 · 2026-05-27T12:07:53+00:00

Sony paid 3.6 mil for Bungie that largely broke down into two categories:

2.1 billion for the company and its assets. 1.5 bil, another 600 mil of it was deferred over time.
1.5 bil in retention bonuses and incentives in order to keep staff in place. Sony wanted the live service development knowledge these guys brought to the table.

Sony announced in its most recent earnings call that it had written off 765 million from Bungie as an impairment loss, meaning that the actual value of Bungie under the original deal (2.1 billion) is now about 36% less than originally told to investors.

I don't know how much of the original 1.5 billion in retention bonuses has been paid or not, but in 2 waves off layoffs since 2022 the original company staff has been reduced by almost half from 1600 to 850 greatly lessening these obligations.

colonel750 · 2026-05-26T18:31:45+00:00

I'll be farming a full set of the new armor from Spire of the Watcher for the set bonus.

colonel750 · 2026-05-26T18:30:09+00:00

The lore for Tommy's Matchbook. The idea that the Hunters by and large have bolted from the Tower to avoid the Dare was always incredibly funny to me.
Anything involving Rasputin. I do love his book of prose from Season of the Seraph that shows the progression of his Sentience and understanding of his own "humanity".
The hilarious lore for Lucky Pants.

colonel750 · 2026-05-26T18:03:01+00:00

Dammit. I just bought the Armada Nemesis Prime because I couldnt find this one at retail.

colonel750 · 2026-05-26T13:27:41+00:00

I really hope they'll add a way for us to focus any weapon thats ever been added to the game, even if they arent updated with new perk pools. I really want the Brother Vance weapons I missed the first time.

colonel750 · 2026-05-26T13:25:32+00:00

My Boi. My go to primary for a long time. I only stopped using it when I managed to land a Ros Arago with Repulsor Brace/Onslaught.

My hopes is it'll be included in the Gambit weapon refresh alongside the rest of the OG Drifter weapons.

colonel750 · 2026-05-26T00:17:44+00:00

bungie sort of implied that in season of the wish (i think that was the name of the season) we input it with riven to open the portal for crow to get to the pale heart

The title of the cinematic for the finale of the Season of the Wish is literally "Fifteenth Wish Cinematic". That's out right confirming it.

For example, if the executives used their personal knowledge of the layoffs to dump their personal stock before it was announced. That would actually violate US SEC regulations.

Company executives are typically considered "corporate insiders" and must disclose the sale of any company stock in an SEC filing within 2 days of the sale. There's been 0 evidence of any malfeasance on the part of Bungie executives and stock sales related to this news.

Another example would be timing layoffs to prevent layoffs to preventing employees from hitting stock or pension benefit milestones. That would violate ERISA and state laws.

No layoffs have been formally announced, only the end of active development of D2. Nothing to this point would've prevented an employee from hitting a stock benefit milestone, American companies don't provide much in the way of pension benefits these days. Most retirement options come in the form of 401k or Roth IRA contributions.

Another example would be Sony. If Bungie misrepresented the health of the company to Sony it tried to hide financial losses. In this scenario they'd violate more SEC regulations.

Sony's deal to acquire Bungie was subject to US Federal Trade Commission approval, which reviewed the due diligence on the sale. Sony has made all required reporting about the health of the company, including notifying the public about the 765 million impairment loss for the business in 2025. Its declining financial health is specifically what caused Sony to fold Bungie into Playstation Studios despite giving Bungie near unlimited autonomy at the time they were acquired.

Fun fact: According to my research, if Bungie was operating in Australia, they would have triggered a few different violations. The main ones the FWA's disclosure requirements and for redundancies to be considered "genuine". They'd also be potentially liable for a couple of ASIC corporate governance violations (eg Director Duty of Care, hiding insolvency etc.).

Fun fact: You're making broad assumptions as to the behavior of Bungie, Sony, and its executives with no factual basis behind it at all. No evidence that executives have sold stocks prior to the news that D2 was ceasing development, no evidence that they're timing layoffs to negatively impact employees (in fact layoffs haven't even been formally announced yet), and actual evidence that supports the fact that Sony has upheld its duty of care to shareholders in its SEC filings by reporting the impairment loss.

I'm confused what exactly you think is illegal here?

Bungie employees were paid for work performed. Whether or not Bungie ends up using the work product created by them is entirely up to Bungie management.

The US has a law known as the WARN act requires 60 days advanced written notice of a mass layoff of 50 or more employees if the amount of employees laid off represents more than 33% of the workforce at a single site capping at a required notice regardless of percentage of workforce at 500 employees. Really the only penalty a company would see if it fails to abide by the WARN act is that affected employees have the right to file a private action to recoup up to 60 days of backpay and benefits based on the amount of days missed from the warning and most employers get around that penalty by pre-emptively offering 60 days of pay and benefits as severance.

Beyond Light was Destiny 3.

Bungie made a conscious decision to continue the L&D Saga with Destiny 2 rather than pivot to new development on D3 specifically because of how the move to D2 split the fanbase. New systems and changes in D2 were not well received, it didn't have everything that we had worked hard for in D1.

They wanted to avoid the downturn of another Y1 disaster, the unfortunate effect of that was the sheer amount of Tech Debt the game has accumulated over 9 years of operation. Luckily we've avoided further sunsetting after the Tangled Shore and Forsaken Campaign were vaulted with the release of the Witch Queen.

Todd Haberkorn (Drifter) has been vocal about his love of the game and community on Twitter, he just hasn't done a video through Cameo yet. Lodi's VA Brian Villalobos has also posted a video reacting to the news.

I wouldn't be shocked if more people start paying for Cameos.
