(I'm slightly surprised this weeks TWAB hasn't been posted here yet. As dmg04 says, it's particularly meaty.)

Lengthy TWAB.

How are you feeling?

(Note: No further details on Crossplay at this time. Once we get closer to the feature releasing, we'll have more details on matchmaking and all that stuff.)

Hit us with your feedback. As always, we're listening.

Quick Preview

Expect a Trailer for the New Season Tomorrow per:

Season of the [REDACTED] trailer goes live on February 2, 2021.

Then we get to the topics of this weeks TWAB;

• Introducing: Seasonal Challenges ~ One System goes away (again), One System gets buffed.
  • At least 31,540 Bright Dust is up for grabs next Season.
• Back to the Sandbox ~ M&K loses their Stability Lasers, Rocket Launchers gain a Burst Damage role, Korny gets Buffed, Snipers get more flinch, Swords get nerfed, and a potpourri of Exotic Weapon Tweaks.
  • Dear Arbalest, SOON™. Love Bungie.
• Crimson Days gets Vaulted ~ Um... I guess that's kind of it on that one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

...so on so on with detected bugs, hot vids, and cool artworks...

(The 5 Kills with 1 Clip of Hawkmoon is pretty good.)

If this gets 7 likes we'll add a new LZ on Europa next Season.

Bonus Stuff!

Apparently [strike][/strike] doesn't work here actually works. Huhh. I wonder what other formatting tools are hidden here.

A couple of correction in the Patch Notes. We missed a note calling out that we fixed the issue with controls resetting on Remote Play.

Accidently included a note about making Deafening Whisper be able to trigger Abyssal Extractors. That fix is coming in a few weeks with S13.

Bonus Destiny Stuff!

Q: "Do I need to redeem weekly bounties from Strikes/Crucible/Gambit/Gunsmith as they're being removed next season?"

A: Yes. Any weekly bounties in player inventory, even if completed, will be removed at the start of Season 13.

Ah man, I really like my Arbalest, it's my crutch for my lack of aiming ability. Looks like I have a couple more weeks of fun with it.

The team is aware of the feedback around 3 peeking and currently discussing possible options. No promises - as we are still investigating what changes are viable since it's a complicated issue that affects both emotes, swords, and any potential, future 3rd person weapons.

We definitely want to make sure stability like all of our stats are important across all platforms. We're hoping that this change will help make sure stability and related perks feel valuable on Mnk, and we will be looking at data on usage to insure we didn't go too far.
