You know the drill, Guardians. A new expansion is coming, and with it a new Artifact. Veterans are already used to it, but if you’re new, then you should know this is one of the most critical grinds in the game. Leveling up your Artifact will allow you to get many useful perks that will make your life easier in Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. And speaking of perks, we’ve made a list of all the passive bonuses coming to this expansion, so you can start planning your build in advance.
