Future 2’s seventeenth season begins this week and we’ll discover out much more lore concerning the Witch Queen. Bungie has saved quiet concerning the new season so there’s not a tonne of information on the market—we do not know what the season is known as but, both—however here is all the pieces we find out about it up to now.
Future 2 Season 17 begin time
Season 17 begins on Might 24 on the weekly reset. As with all seasonal adjustments, there will probably be a number of hours of downtime earlier than you can hop in and play. When you want a refresher, the reset time is 1 pm ET/ 10 am PT/ 6 pm BST/ 7 pm CEST.
You can use 2000 Silver to buy the brand new season move, unlocking the primary 10 ranges routinely.
Modifications to Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris
Lord Saladin and the Iron Banner are getting an enormous revamp in Season 17, beginning with Saladin’s title. From Season 17 onwards he’ll be generally known as Bracus Forge, and you will find him the place Eva Levante normally stands within the centre of the Tower. Energy stage will probably be disabled within the new Iron Banner, and Rift would be the new mode this season, with modes rotating in future seasons.
Tokens can even be eliminated and as a substitute get replaced by a rating system, much like what you see with Shaxx and the Crucible. You can earn Iron Engrams whenever you rank up, in addition to unlock new beauty objects and supplies after every match. You’ll be able to convert Iron Engrams into any present Iron Banner weapon or armour set that is beforehand been earned, for an in-game-material price. There will probably be a brand new Seal and title to chase, too, which is estimated to take you between 15-20 hours to earn. No extra cheesing for you!
One other upside to those adjustments is the addition of a brand new map, Disjunction, which is likely one of the largest maps but. It takes place within the Pyramid space of the Throne World, holding the Witch Queen’s spooky theme going. It will even be accessible in Crucible for the actual PvP champs amongst you, in addition to Rift. The draw back is Iron Banner is just working twice throughout the brand new season on Might 31 and July 12, so put that in your diary.
Trials of Osiris can be getting a tweak, with Seize Zone and Freelance weekends persevering with this season. Seven maps will probably be in rotation per season, with one being determined by participant votes. Lastly, there will probably be adept reward adjustments, making the grind extra worthwhile. You’ll be able to try the brand new Ghost armor under.
Future 2 rumours: we do not know a lot concerning the new dungeon
I really like an excellent hearsay and there are loads floating round about season 17. Whereas we all know a brand new dungeon is coming within the new season, there is not any details about the place it’s or what it is referred to as. Bungie has confirmed that the brand new dungeon will probably be accessible from Might 27, 10 PT/ 1 pm ET/ 6 pm BST. The really helpful Energy stage is 1550, so you may get grinding between Tuesday and Friday. You’ll be able to try the rewards in retailer under:

- 4 Legendary New Weapons
- 2 Legendary Reprised Weapons
- 1 Unique Weapon
- 1 Unique Catalyst
- 1 Unique Accent (Ship or Sparrow)
- 2 Legendary Emblems
As for what else we are able to count on, Saladin is serving Caiatl, therefore the shortage of Iron Banner subsequent season, so there might be extra lore about him. There’s additionally a hearsay that Warmind Rasputin is likely to be downloaded into an Exo physique, which might be very rad. Or possibly very dangerous?
Whereas Bungie has confirmed that one other Mild subclass will probably be getting the three.0 therapy, it is thought that Photo voltaic will probably be getting an replace. Given previous Saladin is an enormous fan of Photo voltaic, it appears fairly seemingly. The season 17 ritual weapon is the Chain of Command heavy machine gun, however up to now, that is the one weapon confirmed. There’ll undoubtedly be some shiny new exotics to gather subsequent season, so keep tuned for more information.
Season 17 Energy caps
The Energy bands have been elevated for the brand new season, so here is a fast run down of what to anticipate:
- Energy ground: 1350
- Smooth cap: 1510
- Highly effective cap: 1560
