Then Presige Raid Lairs are discussed. The TL:DR is this--no encounter changes. They will be the same as Normal mode. However, there will be three modifiers that are in rotation from week to week. Two are brand new, designed for the raid lairs, the final one is Prism. There will also be "curated loadouts." Loadouts will not be locked like in Prestige Nightfall, but will instead be focused on weapon type. For example Scout Rifle/Hand Cannon/Rocket Launcher. You can use any weapons you have and switch them at will, so long as they're the correct type. That will change week to week.

Great ingame conversation last night about "curated loadouts" and the like. Given the different approaches taken by different players (in this case Stabbim and I), I propose Bungie add an additional layer of gear lock, in which a specific gear/weapon loadout can be saved and locked for future use. It would allow players to step outside their normal comfort zone without having to worry about screwing up a build they've honed over time.

New changes to the meta? No problem. Make sure your favorite build's pieces are all double-locked into a Custom Set. Mix and match weapons and gear outside of that build to your heart's content. Experiment with perks and bonuses to find something new and different that you like. Tired of that? Hit a button and auto-equip your Custom set.

Especially with the arrival of curated loadouts, I think this is something we're going to need.

Why not just use the loadout tools in apps like DIM?
