Most of what you’ve come to know in Destiny 2 has remained unchanged. However, there are some changes Guardians will notice immediately. The obvious changes are what you’ll experience while playing Curse of Osiris. Guardians will face new challenges in the new campaign, new strikes, new Crucible maps, a new Heroic strike playlist, additional gear, and revelations of secrets heretofore unknown.
Curse of Osiris is accessible at level 18, but Guardians must first complete the main Destiny 2 campaign, at which point your Guardian will likely be level 20. Guardians will enjoy a level cap increase to level 25 and a Power level increase up to a 330 base, or 335 with weapon and gear modifiers. The following is a list of new changes:
- Heroic Strike playlists - With increases to general enemy aggressiveness and resilience.
- Weekly Strike Milestone (complete 3 Heroic Strikes)
- Discover past and future Vex and Fallen
- Mercury Heroic Adventures with modifiers
- Mercury patrol activities
- A new Raid Lair activity
- 3 new Crucible maps (Wormhaven is a PS4 Exclusive)
- 2 new Strikes
- Season 2 cosmetic, weapon, and armor updates
- Brother Vance, Osiris's most stalwart Follower is your new vendor. He’ll assist you in all matters on Mercury.
- Vendors will now have ornamental armor sets, but to acquire these, you must meet a specific set of requirements for each piece.
