Instead of a binary system, all weapons will have a Tier level, from 1 to 10, which will determine the weapon's power. The Masterwork mechanic is also being re-worked. Dismantling a weapon will return the mod to the player's inventory, and class ability regeneration from armor mods will be increased. Some of the new mods will add damage boosts against bosses and vehicles, better target acquisition, improved accuracy while airborne, increased magazine size, increased damage against powerful enemies, and more. Instead of altering damage type, or adding a flat boost to the level of a weapon, mods will allow players to customize their loadout to fit specific aspects of their playstyle.

The first two slots will be open to all weapons using Primary and Special ammo, while the third slot will be dedicated to weapons using Heavy ammo. Weapon slots will function differently after the August 24 update, and while the three weapon slots will still correspond to Kinetic, Energy, and Power weapons, ammo type is now weapon-specific. Healing and Empowering Rifts are being buffed, Dawnblade Warlocks will be able to create healing grenades to grant overshields to themselves and teammates, and Stormtrance will also see a damage increase after the update.

The new Spectral Blades super will allow Hunters to turn invisible and see other players through walls. A new perk called Flawless Execution will be added for Nightstalkers, which will cause the Hunter to turn invisible if they get a precision kill while crouching. The update will add 9 new supers to the game, as well as a slew of new perks and abilities.Īfter the update, the Hunter's Golden Gun will receive an additional 2 seconds of active time, and Nightstalker tethers will track and trap players more reliably. Shoulder charge, shield bash, and hammer strike abilities will also become one-hit kills. Body damage and precision damage will be increased, and two consecutive melee hits will now kill a Guardian at full health. Overall time-to-kill is being reduced, with weapon and ability damage being increased accordingly.
