Sunsetting was one of the most controversial features introduced with Destiny 2’s Beyond Light expansion—vast swaths of powerful weapons were suddenly capped out of being usable in high-end content. But in The Final Shape, Bungie is finally scrapping it entirely and removing the Power limits on legacy gear.
In today’s This Week in Destiny blog, which broke down the new Fireteam Power system, it was revealed that Destiny 2 will be un-sunsetting old weapons due to the caps being “fundamentally incompatible” with Fireteam Power. This is great news for every player who held onto their Perfect Paradox and Breachlight all this time but a slightly more bittersweet announcement for the vast majority who dismantled all of their legacy gear with the assumption the sunsetting was permanent.
