Players are eagerly waiting for more news aboutBeyond Light, the much-anticipatedDestiny 2expansion that would have been out last week barringCOVID-related delays. Understandably, players have a ton of questions about what the state ofDestiny 2will be onceBeyond Lightlaunches given that it will be the biggest content “shift” inDestinyhistory with a ton of new content coming to the game and even more leaving with weapon and armor sunsetting, as well as the introduction of theDestiny Content Vault.

Bungie has already answered many questions from players in recent updates and content teases, includingchanges to Gambitand details about thenew element, Stasis, but have left many other questions outstanding. Some players' questions are related to the Destiny Content Vault, which will lock away about half of the game’s content indefinitely whenBeyond Lightlaunches, while others are wondering just how much content they’re getting in the expansion.
10Armor Transmogrification
Players have been hoarding armor for months waiting for Bungie to answer one critical question: willarmor transmogrificationbe done through collections or inventory? to quell players' fashion-related concerns about armor sunsetting, players will be able to turn their old armor into ornaments that can be applied to any future armor sets. However, players don’t know if they need the armor in hand for transmog, or if they can simply get the ornaments from their collection. Since randomly rolled armor can’t be pulled from collections, Bungie should answer this question soon for the sake of the players.
9Vault Space
This has been an ongoing issue asDestiny 2has ballooned in size over the past 2 years, but may actually be less of an issue when the Destiny Content Vault drops in November. Still, with armor transmog being an outstanding question, players are wondering if Bungie willincrease their in-game vault storage spaceto more than 500 weapons/armors/consumables. With random weapon rolls and differing season-specific mod slots across different armor sets, dedicatedDestinyplayers would love an expanded storage space for all their specialized weapon and armor rolls.
8Exotic Weapon Catalysts
When Faction Rallies were effectively canceled beforeForsakenlaunched, the catalysts for Sweet Business, Graviton Lance, and Sunshot all became unavailable. It took Bungie until Season of the Drifter more than 2 seasons later tomake them obtainable again. Many activities that are tied to Exotic Weapon catalysts are being vaulted in November, including the Menagerie with Izanagi’s Burden’s catalyst and thebrilliant Zero Hour missionwith Outbreak Perfected’s catalyst. Bungie hasn’t said when these catalysts will be returning and how players will be able to get them, but players are hoping they don’t have to wait multiple seasons before they return like last time.
7Eververse Weapon Ornaments
Over the past several years, Bungie has sold ornaments through Eververse for popular weapons such as The Recluse submachine gun and the (aptly named) Beloved sniper rifle. Now that these weapons among many others are being sunset, players are left wondering if Bungie will continue to sell expensive weapon ornaments that players should only expect to get to use for 1 year (unless they’re for Exotic weapons).

Bungie could lower the price, or make ornaments more widely available from in-game activities (which they’ve already confirmed for pursuit weapons).
6Expansion Size
Many players are looking at Bungie’s outline of the expansion and seeing an amount of content somewhere in betweenForsakenandShadowkeep, which may not warrant the $40 price tag for some given the lukewarm response toShadowkeep(for reference,ForsakenandShadowkeepwere $40 and $35 at launch, respectively).1 new element (which is admittedlyhugeon its own), 1 new location, 1 remastered location, 1 raid, 1 new strike, and not a whole lot else has some players wary of pre-ordering the expansion.With a dearth of content being vaulted, players are hoping Bungie has some Dreaming City-sized surprises up their sleeve come November.
5Fallen/Hive Mods
Race-specific mods are arguably themost powerful armor modsin the game and are practically necessary for the highest levels of endgame content, such as soloing dungeons. Taken mods should go untouched since they’re tied to theLast Wishraid, which isn’t being vaulted, but Fallen and Hive mods will seemingly be in purgatory when theScourge of the Pastraid and the Leviathan location, including its raid, raid lairs, and Menagerie, are all vaulted. Players are wondering if Fallen and Hive mods will still be obtainable in some way inBeyond Light, especially with the Fallen confirmed to play a big role in the expansion’s story and possibly endgame.
4Planetary Materials
Planetary materials for Titan, Io, Mercury, and Mars are heading to the Destiny Content Vault indefinitely along with their locations. Players want to know if they should spend them now or save them (perhaps for a clearance sale the week beforeBeyond Light).Destiny’s materials economyhas always been a bit daunting, so players could use some clarity as to what the exact planetary currency changes will be in the coming months.
3Number Of Seasons In Year 4
WithBeyond Light’s delay, Season of Arrivals was extended for an additional 2 months. Bungie hasn’t yet clarified if Year 4 will have 1 fewer season, shorter seasons than originally intended, or if this “delayed” November launch cycle will carry over into next year and the seasons will go untouched.

Many players have pre-ordered the season pass expecting 4 full seasons worth of content, so this is an issue that Bungie should address sooner rather than later.
2Vault Of Glass And Cosmodrome Strikes
Players shouldn’t expect Bungie to reveal the release date for the remastered Cosmodrome strikes andVault of GlassraidbeforeBeyond Lightdrops, but some players are wondering ifBeyond Light’s delay is going to delay the rest of year 4’s content. IfDestinywill be as devoid of content as some players are expecting in November, they will certainly want to know how long they’ll have to wait before"new" content arrives. Bungie should at least address whether or not other large content drops are being significantly delayed as well.
1New Weapons And Armor
In Season of Arrivals, Umbral Engrams were introduced that contained “updated” versions of weapons with a higher power level limit than their predecessors, such as thepopular Gnawing Hunger energy auto rifleinitially introduced in Season of the Drifter. This has players speculating that even though weapons and armor are being “sunset”, they may just be reintroduced with a higher power level. While some players may be excited to get to continue using their favorite old weapons, most players are hoping Bungie releasesbrand new weapons and armor(and not just “reskinned” or “remastered” ones) to pursue. Sunsetting should be an opportunity to release new, relevant gear to acquire and not an excuse for players to chase old items.
