TL;DR:
- This week at Bungie, TWABs are back!
- We are one month away from The Witch Queen!
- These TWABS will start to contain spoilers for Witch Queen content. (As the TL;DR writer I’ll try my best to spoiler tag anything important, but stop reading anything if you don’t want to know anything.)
- NEW TRAILER:
- Artifact Mods Update: *Insert Orbs Meme Here*
- These changes will happen starting next season (Season 16)
- No more limits on artifact mod unlocks.
- XP costs remain the same for mods 1-12.
- Resetting is still available since a lot more XP will be required to unlock the whole artifact.
- Confirmed Artifact Mods:
- Anti-Barrier Scout Rifle
- Anti-Barrier Bow
- Overload Auto Rifle
- Overload SMG
- Unstoppable Glaive
- Multiple other Glaive Mods
- In addition to confirmed mods, changes made to Overload Champions to make stunning more reliable.
- Changes to Masterworked armor:
- Changing element cost has been reduced for fully Masterworked armor:
- 10,000 Glimmer + 1 Upgrade Module for Masterworked Legendary armor
- 20,000 Glimmer + 1 Upgrade Module for Masterworked Exotic armor
- The cost for non-Masterworked armor remains unchanged.
- Changing element cost has been reduced for fully Masterworked armor:
- Changes to Orbs of Power Generation:
- No longer tied to Masterworked weapons.
- Now provided by a suite of Helmet armor mods.
- These will be auto-unlocked for all players.
- Mods are based on damage type, so one mod can cover multiple weapons.
- As a TL;DR note: There have since been some tweets on this change by CMs reminding us that other changes are happening. (See the Nov 11th, 2021 TWAB for a reminder)

- Colorblind Modes:
- They are investigating issues with colors becoming harder to distinguish across multiple colorblind modes after 3.4.0.2
- Steam Negative Silver Balances:
- The issue causing this has been fixed, log out and log back in to resolve the issue.
- Hotfix 3.4.0.2:
- Released this week.
- The Xenology quest from Xur can now be recovered if deleted.
- Challenger’s Proving V now successfully unlocks after players complete Challenger’s Proving IV.
- Twitch Extension Resolved Issues:
- Hotfix 3.4.0.2 also resolved these issues with Twitch Extension bounties:
- The Dreissigste emblem is now available in Collections.
- The Watcher’s Shade shader will now be granted upon completion of the Gift Sub bounty.
- Players who completed the bounty but did not receive it will be able to claim it from Amanda Holliday in a future update.
- Hotfix 3.4.0.2 also resolved these issues with Twitch Extension bounties:
- (Relevant) Known Issues:
- We are currently investigating an increase in MARMOT errors.
- We’re investigating reports that the Wicked Overgrowth Shader didn’t unlock in Collections for some players after the 3.4.0.2 fix.
- Colorblind Modes:
- Operation: Save the New Lights:
- If you recall, Dares of Eternity was pulling in players even if they didn’t have the recommended Power, leaving them 50 Power below basic combatants.
- There was a community effort called “Operation: Save the New Lights” where experienced players would lower their Power to join into low Power lobbies and switch back to high Power gear, carrying the New Lights to victory.
- To celebrate both the true embodiment of a Guardian and the New Lights who stuck through it, Bungie is giving both groups the special Circumflex Diacritic emblem for all who complete Dares of Eternity from now until January 18th.
- Author’s Note:
- Threads of Light is still accepting submissions! (Use #ThreadsOfLight with a screenshot of your Guardian’s Appearance page to enter on Twitter or Instagram)
- More to share over the next few weeks! (Including more on Gambit, weapon crafting, and more!)
- Stay tuned, and in the meantime, stay fresh and be kind.
- See you soon!
- “I should go” <3 Hippy
