If you have played or are currently playing the sixteenth season of Destiny 2, then you must be enchanted with the environment in which this shooter game takes place. However, we fans are about to feel the new environment with a lot of new features added to all the aspects of the Sandbox and weapons. On April 21, developer Bungie shared an enormous blog post where it revealed everything related to the new update and the most awaited release date of Destiny 2 Season 17.
Destiny 2 is a free-to-play online shooter game. This game is multiplayer as well as single-player. This means you can play with partners or with your devices. This shooter video game was originally a pay-to-play game but a couple of years later, it became a free-to-play game. Bungie is the developer of the game and is available on platforms like Playstations 5, Stadia, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Playstations 4. Without wasting another minute let us discuss the release date of Destiny 2, Season 17, shall we?
Release Date of Destiny 2 Season 17
Currently, we are walking through season 16 (Season of the Risen) of Destiny 2. This itself is a next-to-perfect season and making the game more perfect than the current version, is not just appreciative but also filling the players with lots of enthusiasm to continue playing the game. Season 16 will last till the 24th of May and till we are free to level up our season 16 artifact and pass as much as we want (which is also kind of a necessity to enjoy season 17 with higher levels).
The day when season 24 will retreat is the day when Season 17 will arrive. Yup, you get it right!. The release date of Destiny 2 Season 17 is 24th May. Get ready for a new odyssey.
Major Changes in Destiny 2, Season 17
The major change, we can say, is going to take place in the Sandbox. According to the post shared by Bingie, it was informed that the sandbox team is dedicating an enormous amount of hours just to improve all the aspects of the sandbox, which ultimately results in improving the experiences of players of PvP.
Engaging with airborne gunplay will no longer be a piece of cake. It got challenging with new features. In all the previous seasons, players were facing flinch issues while using the main weapons. This got updated and players now resist the chunk damage caused by the enemies.
This season is all about making big changes in all the special weapons and specific weapons.
Changes Done in Glaive-A-Rave
A glaive attack is a basic attack performed by Glaive melees, which produces kinetic damage to the enemy. In the season 17, Glaive melees will receive complete protection when shielded (7%% in case of PvP and 97.5% in case of PvE) with increased projectile speed (at 100 stats, the projectile speed will be 80% to 100% and with 0 stats the projectile speed will be 30% to 60%).
Season 17 of Destiny 2 will reduce the speed of energy drain in Glave melees by 30%. Apart from this, the glaive like Titan Glave (Edge of Action), Hunter Glaives (Edge of Concurrences), and Warlock Glaive (Edge of Intent) also went under improvement. For instance, the first one will get a bubble shield, the second one will get increased projectile speed. And the last one can get an update regarding the number of enemies it can deal with and the number has been increased from 4 to 8.
Latest Weapons
Playlist weapons that were released with season 16 went under further update. The older weapons will no longer be available but you can still get them from the vendor-rank package. Playlist weapons now have a number of increased resets. Each season’s reputation resets itself. Therefore, to gain the extra perk, the player needs to do some activities.
Changes Done in Stats
The stats displayed on weapons will not just show you bars but much more than that. They will display the capabilities of the weapons ranging from 0 to 100. The behavior of the weapons has not changed but the stats will give a new appearance to the weapons.
