Latest TL;DR: This Week In Destiny - 09/11/2025
TL;DR:
Power and Progression: Buffs and Fixes
(MoSadie’s Note: This section has a lot of developer insight cut out, please read the Original TWID for additional details and plans.)
There is a lot of feedback about the new expanded power band above 450+ feeling off. Bungie agrees and is rapidly working on fixes and buffs. Some can be applied directly to the live game (LUPs) and other require waiting for a patch.
Live Update Changes
The power climb from 450-500 needs to be better. (And in general it needs to be better, but this is a first step.)
A post will be made on Destiny2Team accounts when this LUP is live. Targeting the end of this week but may need to delay depending on validation efforts.
Here’s the changes in this LUP:
Live Update Reward Adjustment
- Platinum (450-500)
- A+ grades now grant +2 Power
- A grades now grant +2 Power
- B+ grades now grant +1 Power

- Gold (400-450)
- B grades now grant +1 Power
- C+ grades now grant +0 Power (At your Power Level)
- Silver (300-400)

Live Update Scoring Changes
- Reducing the number of modifiers needed to reach score forecasts. (impact will vary based on where you are in the Power climb)
- Granting everyone the Featured Gear score bonus by default.

| Jun 18th, 2021 | Introducing TWABL;DR |
What?
These are summaries of announcements from Bungie. This site mainly focuses on their weekly This Week at Bungie/This Week in Destiny series, but other blog posts and announcements are summarized when important. There summaries are targeted towards Destiny 2 players who are familiar with the game. I will do my best to put spoiler tags on any major reveals that happen in a given week, but I would always recommend being caught up on any weekly story quests before reading a TL;DR or TWAB/TWID.
Why?
I write these for my clan every week and post them in our Discord, figured others would want a TL;DR as well. Discord has a small character limit so I made it a website instead. This is also a chance for me to learn more about GitHub Pages and Jekyll.
