The mod components that drop from them is what will be used later to buy Year 2 mods.Īlso, except for a small list of weapons, whichever elemental mods that are slotted into players' current Year 1 weapons will be locked into that weapon for good as of August 28. In fact, the official word from Bungie is that it is safe to go ahead now and dismantle any Year 1 mods. Year 1 mods will be retired as of Update 2.0 on August 28, but players who have a lot of Year 1 mods will be able to dismantle them for mod components, thus giving them a head start when it comes to buying new Year 2 mods. Year 1 Legendary mods and Year 2 mods are guaranteed to drop one mod component when dismantled, while Year 1 Rare mods have a small chance to drop a mod component when dismantled. Players will be able to purchase armor and weapon mods (which will update on a daily basis) directly from Banshee-44 using mod components, which come from dismantling mods. The other main place to get mods is from the Gunsmith. Weapons and armor that are bought at vendors will not come with mods equipped. Legendary armor also has a chance to come with a mod, but at a much smaller chance. In the developer's weekly blog, Bungie answered many of them.īungie says that all exotic armor drops, including Year 1 exotics, will have a chance to drop with a mod attached. But since the developer's stream where it touched on these changes, players have had a lot of questions about the specifics of the new mod system. Developer Bungie has previously discussed how mods will have a larger impact on weapons and armor by, in essence, letting players attach an additional perk to their weapons and armor. Mods on armor and weapons are undergoing a big change in Destiny 2with the Forsaken expansion and the game's Year 2.
