- reinvention of the artifact item slot, which now serves to provide a game-changing ability to be combined with your subclass and gear selections

How much you wanna bet that there's some kind of remapping where it just acts like an exotic and "grants shadestep" or something similar so people can just break the game even more with stacked perk tree abilities

I can only assume that's Bungie internal game-design-speak for "crucible map".

Kill people and they drop colored pickups? Player "seized a Crest"?

quote:

While players can still use and infuse older artifacts, Rise of Iron introduces eight brand new artifacts that are class agnostic, and able to be freely used with any class and subclass.
A new character named Tyra Karn is the centerpiece for Guardians looking to acquire the new Iron Lord artifacts. She sends players out into the Plaguelands to commit mighty deeds in memory of the Iron Lords – a task that should be pretty straightforward for anyone who engages with the new content. Upon completing that task, you gain an item called the Iron Lords’ Legacy, which in turn can be used to acquire one of three artifacts Tyra has on offer in any given week. Over the course of eight weeks or more of play, you should be able to acquire all eight new artifacts.
Each of these artifacts has a game-changing ability attached to it. One offers the option to melee enemy units and gain their allegiance for a short time. A second artifact eliminates your super, but gives you two grenades, two melees, and an increase in all your stats. Each of the artifacts can be combined with exotic weapons and armor, as well as subclasses, to create new and interesting build options.

For instance, Jolder tended to charge headlong into danger, so her artifact eliminates the sprint recharge delay.

I do wonder what they'll do about SRL, the parts that ruined it were the first place requirements and the awful player collision physics. The first one can easily be tweaked away, the second would take more extensive work that I'm not sure they'll bother to do for a fringe mode like that.

Roman posted:

“When we talk about SRL coming back, it’ll probably be wrapped in a different style, not just focused around SRL,” says live team director Jerry Hook. “Because some of the stuff that we learned from our players around the Sparrow Racing League is that some people didn’t like racing. So, can you do something with the event that helps support those players a little bit differently? Absolutely.”

So maybe there's going to be more than just pure racing, or it will be like an triathalon, or an olympics with different events to choose from

Strike uniques are getting a revamp: You have a chance to get a key after a strike. Strike Hoards are chests that spawn after a strike. You can use the key in ANY strike to open the chest and get one of the strike unique items. Pretty cool, makes hunting a bit easier.
