Destiny 2 's Season of the Drifter is live and with it, the new Gambit Prime and Reckoning modes are available for Almanac Pass owners. Defended and returning Guardians are diving into the new gameplay, banking Motes, and earning the Drifter's approval, only the truthful advantage is the new Gambit Prime armor sets. These role-specific sets of armor (Invader, Sentry, Reaper, Collector) empower Guardians with perks for Gambit Prime, accentuating their playstyle. But earning and powering up Destiny 2'south new armor sets is another matter entirely.

As Bungie described in early Season of the Drifter breakdowns, the new Destiny 2 armor is earned and empowered through a loop of gameplay leading players back and forth betwixt Gambit Prime number and Reckoning. Players will earn a sort of currency in Gambit Prime, craft that currency into a special particular and and so activate that item in Reckoning. Only subsequently winning in Reckoning will the player receive their armor or upgrade.

This process will be repeated beyond multiple weeks. Bungie is capping the rate at which players tin can power upwards their Prime armor past spacing out the release of Reckoning's different tiers. This should give Guardians enough of time to earn their armor without having to grind too much. Earning armor is a straight forward, but deliberate process. Armor upgrade bounties offered from the Out-of-stater, meanwhile, will prove a bit more than challenging. Nonetheless, players can definitely manage the tasks between Reckoning tier ii and three releases on March viii and 15 respectively.

With 4 armor sets to earn, one for each Gambit Prime part, Guardians take plenty to keep them busy during the Flavour of the Drifter.

Earning Synths

The kickoff step towards earning Destiny 2's new Gambit Prime armor is to go speak to The Drifter, now camped out in the Tower's Annex. The Drifter will provide the "Who Are You lot?" quest footstep tasking the histrion to option upwardly a Gambit Prime daily bounty, with ane available for each of the iv roles. All iv tin be caused at the same time, then at that place's no need to choose a single part.

Each daily compensation rewards multiple synths for whatever given part, simply synths can also be earned but by playing and winning Gambit Prime. Focus on playing the function of the synth blazon that you desire to earn. Synths are used in a diversity of ways to earn and upgrade armor, then having a selection of them bachelor for the roles y'all're interested in will be handy.

Too, annotation that random Synths tin can be earned in Reckoning, too. It's a PvE alternative to playing Gambit Prime over and over once again, even if it'southward not as efficient.

Crafting Motes

After completing their beginning match of Gambit Prime after talking to the Drifter, Guardians will be given a Weak Synthesizer. The Synthesizer can be considered the middle-man between Gambit Prime number and Reckoning with regards to creating and upgrading armor. For armor creation, players volition employ the Weak Synthesizer to create a function-specific Mote from Synths. These Motes are then taken into Reckoning and activated at the bank at the commencement, which both determines the Reckoning difficulty tier and its rewards.

As Reckoning tier ii and 3 are released in the future, higher levels of difficulty will be unlocked which require more powerful Motes to activate. More Synths are required to create more powerful Motes and a more powerful Synthesizer is required, likewise. Although it'due south non confirmed, it seems similar the only fashion to upgrade the Synthesizer is via a Prime number Weekly Bounty. There's a weekly bounty for each function, so players will be able to upgrade the Weak Synthesizer to a Stiff Synthesizer and across without diverging from the way they like to play Destiny two.

Note that Motes aren't required to participate in Reckoning. It can exist entered without them. Also, it doesn't seem necessary to create depression-level Motes for Reckoning. Players tin simply wait for Reckoning tier 3 to release and go in without the previous armor sets.

Earning Armor

Upon successful completion of Reckoning, players will go back to the bank where they deposited their Mote and be rewarded a random piece of armor from the set the Mote was made for. Duplicate armor pieces can also be earned, so players may have to play a decent corporeality of Reckoning and wager a decent amount of Motes to earn a full ready. The initial set of armor will have a 635 light level. The second tier is non yet available, as Reckoning tier 2 is yet locked, but tier 2 and iii armor sets should yet exist earned in the same way.

Alternatively, information technology seems like the Out-of-stater volition also be application Gambit Prime armor directly as a reward for completing the Prime Weekly Compensation. Players will be required to wager Motes of a power level akin to their Synthesizer and then win Reckoning matches, as well as complete role-based goals in Gambit Prime number. They'll then be given a specific armor piece for the tier of Reckoning they played and take their Synthesizer upgraded. Each week will then provide a higher tier armor piece.

Players can only earn a first tier piece of armor this week, since completing the weekly is required to upgrade to the 2nd tier. Week ane'southward armor slice appears to exist a helmet.

This is just the get-go week of the Season of the Drifter, so there's no need to feel forced into participation. Make the most of the new content for these next several months and have it at a healthy pace. That said, information technology will accept at least two weeks to upgrade the Synthesizer from tier 1 upwards to tier three and and then more time afterward to acquire a total gear up of tier three armor. If there'due south a priority to earning the Prime number armor sets, it's completing the weekly. Across the weekly, play as much of either Gambit Prime number or Reckoning every bit feels good.
