 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today. I am back with another Destiny 2 video and today we're going to cover another part of the weekly updates because it was full of useful information but because there are so many individual subjects to talk about which were big points I'll break it down into a few videos which I believe are definitely worth covering. Today we're going to talk about exotic masterworks and I'm going to try and explain everything you need to know. Okay so here is what Bungie said about exotic masterworks. How do you make an exotic feel more exotic? It's a two-part question including how it feels to acquire and upgrade the weapon and how it feels to use the weapon. To answer the first question scenery investment designer Mark you will can't pronounce that second name I apologize is here to walk us through the process. Quoting Mark right here are goals in extending masterwork perks and mechanics to exotic weapons are primarily to create new in-game goals for hobbyist players and read for specific activities with these long tail pursuits. There were a few problem spaces that we wanted to address when creating the exotic masterwork pursuit. First up exotics in Destiny 2 are very very easy to acquire many players have most if not all of the non-quest exotics as we don't want to make players re-earn every exotic weapon. Exotic masterwork acquisition and progression needed to take place after acquisition. Additionally we needed to figure out a player friendly way of representing the process of obtaining and applying an exotic masterwork. The milestone trade doesn't provide a good flow for every exotic masterwork and bounties are planned for summer as noted on our recently updated development roadmap. With these goals and restrictions re-landed on the following player experience there will be one exotic masterwork per exotic weapon that exists so far in Destiny 2 in order to begin the masterwork process players will have to find an exotic masterwork catalyst when inspecting the exotic there will be a hint at why activities can grant the catalyst for that weapon not all exotic masterworks have the same drop rates some exotic masterwork weapons are guaranteed after a certain amount of engagement while others are earned at random we see an example unscrewed now with the cold heart we see here with this exotic weapon catalyst this is found via defeating the most challenging enemies in strikes and this won't be a guaranteed drop it will be an rng drop obviously a part of the loophole from certain enemies within strikes i would say maybe strike bosses but i'm sure that would be mentioned here quoting bungee game right here once acquired the catalyst can be applied to immediately enable orb generation and double kills for the weapon exotic weapons with catalysts applied will also start tracking enemies defeated like their legendary masterwork weapon counterparts after applying the catalyst there will be bounty-like objectives available that need to be completed in order to upgrade to the final masterwork state which will apply stat perk bonuses to the weapon again we see an example with the cold heart once that catalyst is obtained the next step is making this exotic a masterwork and gaining that extra stat and perk to do this with the cold heart you have to defeat enemies using this weapon so this one i'm guessing can be relatively easy compared to others quoting bungee game right here a few masterworks will require you to do single things while others will have multiple steps these objectives will vary in difficulty and length but will not be determined by rng the goal for these objectives is to push the player to engage with the weapon that they wish to make into a full masterwork when it comes to difficulty there are a few exotic masterworks paired with difficult activities or accomplishments in game we're expecting that they may be one or two exotic masterwork weapons that give players the opportunity to set goals in mastering specific activities in order to earn their most desired masterwork to get ahead of a few questions we're expecting here's a quick roundup of more specific notes exotic weapon masterwork pursuits only need to be done once per account you don't have to chase your white whale on each character through the masterwork process duplicate drops of an exotic weapon via engrams milestones or even the exotic collection will be initialized at your current masterwork upgrade state the exotic masterwork process takes place fully in the weapon detail screen there won't be any objectives that take up your character in virtually space not all exotic masterworks will be available immediately when the season three begins if you inspect an exotic weapon and a masterwork socket is not visible the catalyst is not yet available we won't be publishing guides on how to acquire specific exotic masterworks this is in your hands as with all things in Destiny 2 these new features are subject to evolution we'll be monitoring acquisition rates and community reactions once these are in the world and adjusting as needed and guys that's all she wants so to quickly summarize these exotic masterworks come season three exotics will be upgradeable to exotic masterworks not every exotic will be available at the start of season three the ones that are upgradeable will take two steps to become a true masterwork the first step is obtaining a catalyst there is a hint at how this is obtained when inspecting that said weapon once you have done that said activity or challenge and got that catalyst the weapon will now generate orbs and double kills but it doesn't end there there will be a bounty like challenge for you to do to unlock the full exotic masterwork and get that additional stat and perk bonuses which come with these masterworks so it sounds super fun and super cool and guys that is all there is to know really so come may 8th we will see which exotics will be upgradeable i truly hope won't you don't try and pull it fast one and limit us to one per week to make content last that would be a complete joke i'm not guys i am out thanks as always for stopping by if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps me out feel new around here and enjoy daily destiny videos be sure to subscribe and hopefully people i will see you on that next one
