Destiny 2 is finally set to begin Season 14–also known as Season of the Splicer–tomorrow on May 11. Prior to the start of this new season of content, however, Bungie is preparing to roll out the major new update that will accompany the seasonal shift.

  • This is where you’ll find Vault of Glass in just a few weeks…

  • Cycle through your teammates to view metrics associated with the activity you’re entering.

  • Umbral Engrams now auto-decrypt when Focused via the Prismatic Recaster.

  • The visual states for focusing options on the Prismatic Recaster have been streamlined to reduce visual clutter and confusion.

  • Unified Glory, Valor, and Infamy rank reputation tracking.

  • Before Forsaken, Glory and Valor had only Major ranks (Guardian, Brave, etc.).

  • After Forsaken, Glory and Valor gained sub-ranks (Brave I, II, III) alongside Infamy. However, all the historical tracking (Lifetime Ranks) and quest usage still used the original Major ranks.

  • Now, the sub-ranks are now referred to simply as Ranks, and all usage has been converted to use them where appropriate. (I.e., all lifetime values and quest targets have been multiplied by three.)

  • Glory playlists no longer block Valor win streaks from declining.

  • The Valor badge now appears on the Trials launch screen.

  • Infamy win streak bonus is now linear (+35 points per win).

  • Glory win streak bonus is now linear (+20 points per win).
