Your Legendary Equipment Now Has an Expiration Date
Speaking of equipment, we hope that you aren’t too fond of your current legendary equipment because Bungie is in the process of phasing them out. If you thought the 2.0 weapon balance changes caused a stir, get ready for this one. Come The Taken King’s release date, your current legendary equipment will quickly be obsoleted by new The Taken King gear.
Sure you can stick with your old school Destiny weapons and armor like Fatebringer if you like, they aren’t getting deleted, but there won’t be a way to upgrade them to the year two level. They will forever be stuck at year one power, at least for now. Based on what Bungie has said in the past about Exotics however, there should be a way to keep those precious weapons and armor pieces up to date.
