Nearly all PvE content received a major rework in . A new Portal menu has restructured the way activities are iniꦕtiated in Destiny, and the new gear tier system has added long-term loot pursuits for virtually all new items, both weapons and armor.

But what determines the gear tiers you receive? That would be difficulty modifiers, a new mechanic that allows you to fine-tune all PvE content you play. Add modifiers that suit your pl♊aystyle, increase the difficulty, and you'll be able to chase massive boosts to your Power level and acquire higher-tier equipment across all activities.

What Are Difficulty Modifiers?

Most activities 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:accessed through the Portal have access to difficulty modifiers. Before you start ♚a new activity, you can select the "Customize" button to adjust the mission. In previous expansions, each activity had preset difficulties with banes, surges, and simila♛r modifiers. With this new system, you can select all of these modifiers yourself.

Each modifier you add will adjust your activity score, wh꧒ich is how Destiny determines the quality of drops you receive at the end of the activity. Increasing your activity's Power requirement and optional modifiers will increase the gear tier o൩f all items that drop, including the quantity of drops.

Adding Activity Modifiers

Upon selecting an activity, select the "Customize" button to bring up the modifier page. There are quite a few options to toy with here.

These options are not available for the Crucible playlist.

• Difficulty: The activity's base Power. This sets the baseline for all rewards.
• Rule Modifiers: Adjustments to the activity set by the game. These cannot be changed.
• Challenge Modifiers: Elective permutations that increase the game's difficulty, making enemies tougher or reducing player performance.
• Player Stakes: Additional rules that adjust rewards, such as mission timers. These cannot be changed.
• Boons and Events: Positive modifiers that make the game easier if you build around them.

Base Difficulty

Before you can apply any modifiers, you must first select the activity's base difficulty. This will determine the base Power of all combatants and their health scaling. Harder difficulties make targets more resistant to flinch a꧟nd greatly inc🍷reases their HP.

Choosing a higher difficulty does come with some benefits, notably to the reward pool. The harder the base difficulty is, the higher your score forecast can be. Getting this rank to a higher letter will yield better drops. At Grandmaster𝓡 difficulty, an A rating should be enough to get T5 weapons and armor, the highest in 💃the game.

Challenge Modifiers

Once you've selected a base difficulty, it's time to add modifiers. Challenge modifiers are where you get to select enemy banes and new mechanics that penalize certain styles of play. You'll want to select modifiers that do not affect your build to boost your score.

✨S🐭ome modifiers increase the activity's Power level. Be careful.

Banes are modifiers to random enemies that grant them new abilities, such as spawning mini-Screebs when they take sustained damage. You may select two banes at a time on Advanced dif🍌ficulty; higher difficultie🥃s might allow for more.

Challenge Modifiers add mechanics to the activ𒁃ity that make it harder, such as enemies inflicting Stasis slow on melee hit. Some of these modifiers are ar🍷guably sidegrades and can be leveraged to make the activity easier. For instance, the Oscillation Trade-Off modifier makes your weapon damage oscillate between weapons. If you love switching weapons, this is arguably a beneficial modifier, not a detriment.

Boons And Events

This category is all about bonuses that make your build stronger. You may select up to three boons, each slot offering different bonuses. A popular pick in this category is the Grappler modifier, which replaces your grenade with three charges that instantly recharge when you touch a surface. You can't use Grapple melee, but༒ the added mobility makes speedrunning missions ꦚa breeze.

Activity Score And Rewards

Every modifier you enable will adjust your mission's activity score. Similar to how Nightfalls used to work, achieving a higher score will make you eligible for higher-quality drops and larger boosts to your Power. The baseline rank is a B, which can increase to an A. Going above an A or lower than a B does nothing. Your goal is to add enough modifiers to make your target rank an A.

PvP Rewards

---

Since modifiers aren't present in PvP, all rewards that drop are determined by your current Power level and match performance. This applies to Trial🐻s of Osiris and Iron Banner as well.

The base difficulty you select will determine the reward rank you're in, ranging from Copper to Platinum. Selecting a harder difficulty will raise this ranking, which will then influence the Power level and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:gear tier of all items that drop from the end-of-match ♚rewards.

To get the best gear this expansion, you'll need to achieve an A rank in Grandmaster content. Doing so will require a 🌸Power level of at least 350 and a strong build. Boons can help offset this difficulty, but it won't make it trivial by any stretch. Complete this level of difficulty, and you'll earn T5 gear and tons of Power boosts for ﷽your character.
