Great news,Jesús Franco Destinyfans: identifying your new loot in Destiny 2no longer benefits from the tedious process of re-dressing your Guardian in all of his or her best gear.

Let me explain.

Destinyloot comes in the form of glowing objects called "engrams." They're color-coded by rarity and fall into different categories — helmets, boots, power weapons, that sort of thing — but you don't know what one actually is until you visit the Cryptarch to get it decoded.

You can find these vendors in all of Destiny's social spaces. The game doesn't even know which piece of gear you're getting until you decode the engram, at which point an invisible dice roll determines your actual loot drop.

Now, because of the way these loot rolls worked in the original Destiny— it's based on your overall level, which is dictated by the gear you're wearing — it always made sense to put on your highest level gear before decoding engrams. That way, the random number generating computer brain powering Destinywould hand you the best possible gear.

Just one problem: that was some super-tedious nonsense.

Destinyis a multi-faceted game, and there's rarely a one-size-fits-all gear loadout to suit every situation. So every time you'd truck back to the Tower with a pocket full of engrams, you'd inevitably spend 10 extra BS minutes shuffling around in your inventory.

Well. No longer. Destiny 2does away with that charminglittle quirk, as project lead Mark Noseworthy confirmed.

This is the kind of nerd-ass nonsense that Destinyfans like me eat right up. It's what you'd call a "quality of life" update: the game doesn't change in any fundamental way, but it makes your whole experience a little smoother and a little happier.

Loot rolls were invisible before, and they'll still be invisible now. But there remains a major difference: instead of punishing ignorant players like the previous game did, Destiny 2's loot system is actively working to help you succeed.
