How To Prepare For The Final Shape Expansion in Destiny 2

The Light and Dark saga is coming to a close with the upcoming Final Shape expansion for Destiny 2. Facing the Witness and the Terror will require your Guardians to be as prepared as possible.

But don't worry, there's still enough time to catch up on any weapons or items you may have missed this year. Below we leave you some tips that will be useful if you want to achieve victory.

How To Prepare For The Final Shape Expansion in Destiny 2

Vault Streamlining:

Limited Capacity: While the expanded Vault offers additional storage, efficient management remains crucial.

 Consider the following:

Powerless Gear Retirement: With the removal of Power limits on sunset gear, dismantling them frees valuable space without compromising access to unique perks.

Pinnacle Evaluation: Account-wide Power may render Pinnacle weapons obsolete. Dismantle them if better alternatives exist.

Perk Analysis: Weapons with subpar perk combinations can be dismantled to optimize Vault usage.

Armor Stat Prioritization: Retain armor pieces with a total stat roll exceeding 60 for optimal performance.

Exotic Arsenal Curation: Maintain your core collection of frequently used Exotics and consider dismantling the rest.

Bounty Stockpiling:

Contest Mode Advantage: For those aiming to conquer the Final Shape raid on Contest Mode, a strategic bounty approach is key. Refrain from turning in completed weekly bounties on all characters. This stockpiled XP will provide a significant boost on launch day.

Early Leveling: Remember, destination and specific vendor bounties will carry over between expansions, granting an initial leveling advantage. Prioritize bounties offering higher XP rewards.

Loadout Preparation:

Pre-Configured Efficiency: Create pre-built loadouts for your preferred builds on each subclass. This enables rapid in-game switching, allowing you to tailor your approach to any situation. Access the dedicated loadout menu on the character screen for easy configuration.

Alternate Character Optimization:

Power Leveling: Utilize the Gift of the Thunder Gods to equip your alternate characters and reach the current Power cap of 1,810. With account-wide Power implementation in The Final Shape, managing multiple characters will become significantly easier.

Subclass Fragment Acquisition:

Synergy Optimization: Unlock all subclass Fragments on all characters. While most are unlocked through quests, some require additional Glimmer purchases.

Strand Subclass Mastery:

Neomuna Engagement: Engage in combat activities on Neomuna or deliver Strand damage finishing blows to earn Strand Meditations. These meditations are essential for unlocking Strand subclasses.

Weapon Acquisition Strategies:

New Light & Returning Guardian Armament: New Lights and returning players can acquire exceptional weapons with updated perk pools through the Onslaught playlist. Weapons such as Edge Transit, Forbearance, Midnight Coup, and Elsie's Rifle are prime targets.

Powerful Weapon Procurement:

Riven's Wishes Completion: Completing the Riven's Wishes quest chain, accessible after finishing the Season of the Wish questline, grants access to powerful weapons like Apex Predator.

Masterwork Material Stockpiling:

Exotic Engram Upgrade Resources: Stockpile Masterwork Materials, prioritizing materials required to upgrade Prismatic's unique Exotic class items. Engage in activities like Grandmaster Nightfalls and The Coil to acquire these resources. Aim for "Platinum clears" in Nightfalls for maximum rewards.

With these measures, the Guardians can approach The Final Shape with a strategic advantage. An optimized inventory, stored resources, and pre-configured equipment will ensure that you are well equipped to combat the coming darkness and safeguard the future of humanity.
