‘Destiny’ Vault Space Doubled With 2.0 Update, Exotic Collections Added

After covering most of what’s included in the Destiny 2.0 update for PlayStation and Xbox owners, there’s not much left. However, what is left is just as impactful as the other changes with much welcome changes to the Tower, Factions, and player inventories.

The Bungie patch notes for Destiny 2.0 are too massive to cover in a single article. For details on the other changes, please see the Character and Class changes, Weapon changes, Strike changes, Crucible changes, or click through to Bungie’s website for the entire patch notes.

The big add in this section of the Destiny 2.0 update notes is how Bungie cleared up space for players. The Vault size has been doubled to hold 72 weapons, 72 armor pieces, and 36 items while many Shaders, Emblems, Ships, and Sparrows have been moved to new “Collection” kiosks. This also includes blueprints for Exotic armor and weapons that can be used to retrieve these pieces at any time from the Collection kiosks in the Vanguard Hall.

This should hopefully mean removing the hard choice of players having to decide whether to delete a certain item because they are running of inventory and Vault space.

Many of the vendors are getting a makeover as well. Eris will no longer hand out Year One bounties, Petra will have new bounties available in the Reef to make up for disappearance of the Pack of Wolves patrol events, and players will need to visit the individual Faction vendors to declare their allegiance with that faction to earn reputation with them. Note that you can only change Faction allegiance once per week.

Destiny - Gunsmith

One of the more interesting changes is with the Gunsmith, Banshee-44. He will allow players to “field test” weapons starting on Wednesday, September 9. As players earn reputation, they will be able to place “Armsday Orders” with the Gunsmith for Legendary weapons. These weapon orders will be fulfilled every Wednesday.
