Your burning questions were answered in this week’s “This Week In Destiny.”

In the update, Bungie addresses frequently asked questions about the shooter's gameplay mechanics, abilities, and weapons in Destiny 2. The gameplay team discusses the evaluation and adjustment of the ability-energy economy, the cooldown time for Tangle creation, and the balance of abilities and grenades in the game.

Also, the weapons team addresses concerns about Hand Cannons and Kinetic weapons, mentioning the adjustments made in previous seasons and potential future changes. They also mention upcoming tuning for Glaives and changes to Exotic weapons. The Exotic armor team weighed in too, saying there’s plans to balance legacy Exotic armor gradually; they expressed the desire to introduce more interactions between Exotic armor and weapons.

Aside from these matters though, Bungie announced the celebration of Pride Month with their Pride@Bungie and Trans@Bungie teams. Players can participate by using the free Rainbow Connection emote and transmat effect in Destiny 2.

Other topics that were covered include plans for armor mods, Shader favorites, HUD/UI updates, and the upcoming Iron Banner event. Last but not least, Bungie picked out their favorite looks from the #DrownintheDrip fashion trend event.
