Destiny 2’s most ignored subclass is getting turbocharged next month
If you’re a fan of the Arc subclass in Destiny 2, you may have a reason for thunderous applause. The lightning-based subclass is getting huge tweaks—including a new mechanic and Aspects—in Episode Heresy, which starts on Feb. 4.
The new keyword, Bolt Charge, is the big-ticket addition in the upcoming balancing pass. It springs from Arc’s relative lack of buffs, Bungie said in a blog post today. “Charge” is an appropriate name: You gradually build up stacks of this buff by playing. Using your ability when your gauge is fully charged unleashes a powerful lightning strike. Gaining a stack grants you some melee energy, and you can build up to 10 charges at maximum.
