Destiny 2: 10 Reasons To Be Excited For The Future
4. A New Elemental Power
Since Destiny began, there's been four elemental types that determine the kind of damage and abilities your chosen character can dish out. Kinetic is your most basic weapons, largely attached to the primary weapon slot, whilst Solar, Ark and Void can be infused to other weapons, armour or a specific class of offensive and defensive character abilities.
In Destiny 2: Beyond Light, players will be introduced to a brand new elemental type; Stasis. Tied to the Darkness itself, this new form of power has only been teased so far as the ability to slow enemies within stasis fields or encasing them in untold amounts of damage.
If we want to delve a little deeper into the possibilities, the term Stasis revolves around the slowing or stoppage of time itself, so don't be surprised if there's a ton of new abilities that revolve around that alone. What that means for weapons or armour, however, is still a mystery.
It's important to note that, despite new abilities cropping up across every expansion, this is the first major change to the elements system in some time. That's exciting to note, and shows that Bungie aren't done with expanding and modifying what we think we know about Destiny.
