Destiny 2‘s one and only Fallen vendor, Spider, hasn’t experienced any changes for quite some time now, but Bungie claims that the upcoming Beyond Light expansion is going to fix that. The developer states that the black-market dealer has finally decided to change up his materials now that Destiny 2‘s guardians are preparing to venture out into Europa.
Bungie details these changes in its latest blog post, along with several others that will be happening to Destiny 2 when Season of the Hunt begins. For various reasons, the update will mainly change up Spider’s wares by removing the Legendary Shards that he currently sells and adjusting how he handles the Enhancement Core exchange. Spider will also be the individual player’s go-to if they want to exchange Phaseglass Needles, Alkane Dust, Simulation Seeds, and Seraphite for Glimmer.
In place of Legendary Shards, Spider will now sell Enhancement Prisms, but due to their incredibly high value, these items will cost 400 Legendary Shards per Prism, and players will only be able to purchase three Prisms a week. As for the Enhancement Core exchange, Bungie has removed the ascending cost mechanism from it. Instead, Spider will now sell five Enhancement Cores a day, with each core priced at 30 Legendary Shards.
Bungie provided its reason for these changes for anyone wondering. It removed the Legendary Shard sale because of how little it saw the Destiny community using it when compared to other offers. The developer also wanted to allow players to exchange their Legendary Shards for goods more valuable than planetary materials and Upgrade Modules.
Regarding the Cores, Bungie understands the new change limits how many of them players can receive in a day, but it believes having a more consistent price for the items will offer a “cleaner experience.” It also claims that the new model is cheaper than the ascending one, as it will allow players to save 160 Legendary Shards for every five Enhancement Cores.
These changes have met with mixed reception from the Destiny community. For example, some can’t help but notice how 400 Legendary Shards is quite the price tag, one that caters to those wealthy in the currency (something Bungie notes in the TWAB). It doesn’t help that players can think of ways to get the items for cheaper. Still, it remains a mystery how exactly these changes — combined with others — will affect the game moving forward. There are less than two weeks left before Beyond Light launches, so players don’t have that long of a wait to find out.
Destiny 2 is on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version in development.
