Another Thursday and another TWID, and I couldn’t be happier for this week’s announcements. The road to Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate is getting shorter every day, and to build up hype, Bungie has unveiled many changes coming to some of the game’s core systems, including reputation and vendors. Newcomers might not see this as a big thing, but those who’ve been in the game for almost a decade will find some of these changes quite refreshing and welcome. So, let’s dive into what this TWID is all about.
This Week’s TWID Discusses Weapon Tuning, Reputation, and Vendor Changes
While we’ll be focusing on the core system changes that will make the game more approachable for new Guardians, here’s the link to the TWID if you want to read the weapon tuning part and some Rite of the Nine information. If you prefer to learn about the other aforementioned changes, stick around.
The most surprising thing is that when Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate lands, every reputation system will disappear from all vendors in the Tower, except for Hawthorne, who will get no significant changes.
Without going into too much detail, we can say that removing these reputation tracks allows us to be more rewarding with currencies and gear that drop from activities.
Bungie’s TWID of July 3, 2025
As you can see, Bungie is looking for a way to simplify how players will obtain currencies, which is a win in my book. As someone who joined the game not long ago, it was confusing to see where I’d get certain things. I shamefully admit that it took me a while to discover how the reputation part works. But now, we’ll get gear and currencies by just playing the game, which sounds way simpler.
Of course, this will also affect many of the vendors in the game, as Bungie has stated, and here are some of the changes coming to Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate.
- Xûr
- Xûr will not sell Legendary armor in The Edge of Fate.
- All of Xûr’s Legendary armors will move to Ada-1 where she will sell them for cosmetic purposes.
- Xûr will now sell two Exotic armor pieces, per class, per week
- One will be from the existing pool of Exotics that XVr has always sold.
- One will be from the Beyond Light, Witch Queen, Lightfall, The Final Shape pools.
- Players must own the expansion that includes these Exotics in order to purchase them from Xûr.
- Xûr will continue to sell catalysts but will be part of the Strange Gear Offers submenu.
- Xûr will sell Exotic Class Items every week.
- Players still need to acquire the Exotic Class item from Dual Destiny (or FOTL) before Xûr will allow players to purchase Exotic Class Items.
- Xûr will sell 9 Legendary Weapons per week
- Three weapons per slot
- Class-specific Swords (which aren’t class specific anymore) are still in Xûr’s inventory but will not be available every week.

- We have already covered Ada-1’s new duties in previous TWIDs, but let’s have a reminder.
- Ada will be offering up to 20 Threader Bounties per season, per class.
- Ada’s inventory of legacy armors will include armors previously distributed via Xûr.
- Legacy armor will cost:
- 15000 Glimmer
- Three Enhancement Cores
- Ada will offer players who have made it to the Tower for the first time before The Edge of Fate a bundle of Exotic armor tokens they can use to roll for Exotic armors with new stat packages.
- Players must have unlocked an item in collections before it is eligible for rerolls on Ada-1.
- These tokens are a one-time offer.
- These offers will disappear from Ada after you spend all tokens.
- No new armors will be added to this in the future, so there is no benefit to hording tokens.
- Transmog Bounties have been overhauled.

- Novel Focusing for Exotic Armors from past expansions will be available to players immediately, with no need to decrypt engrams to unlock it; costs remain the same for Novel Focusing.
- Focusing sub-menu has been reordered to put the most used screens up front.
On top of that, players who want to try some of the game’s past content will get to do so during the Destiny 2 Expansion Open Access. All available expansions will be available for free from July 8 to July 22. So, if you want to catch up with the story or try different content, now’s the perfect time.
