That’s one hell of a laundry list. Even if a newer player somehow has all of that , you’re going to need armor with enough upgrades to fit all of those mandatory mods. Unless you can Masterwork your armor—the reason you’d be running Master Nightfalls in the first place—you’ll also be limiting which weapons you can use since these Orb-generating mods only work for certain damage types. Unfortunately, that might not be the worst part of this change.
Most builds in Destiny 2 have a hard time functioning with how limited our armor slots are. Helmets require ammo finders, arms need Champion mods, chests need damage resistance (DR), legs need ammo scavengers, and the class item typically fits expensive Artifact mods. PvP players have a little more room for experimentation, but PvE players have to spec for these things to have a smooth build for the endgame. If you don’t believe me, run a Grandmaster Nightfall without any DR mods and see how far you get. Run a Master Lost Sector without any ammo finders and see just how inconsistent ammo drops are. These mods are meta for a reason.

For PvP, consistency is what you'll want. Opt for a scope with good range and zoom (SPO-28 Front being a great choice), Surplus for an absurd boost to stability and handling, and Tap the Trigger to keep the gun stable when burst fi

Destiny 2 Strikes’s reliance on armor mods is starting to become an issue. It has been a growing pain that you need certain mods to even attempt endgame content—notably Protective Light and Champion mods. Champion mods always go on your arms, so the unique ability-centric mods that typically go there are seldom used. It’s hard to justify using Impact Induction when all endgame content has two Champion types present.
After defeating the final round, Xur will sometimes announce the start of a Lightning Round. There's some speculation online about how to activate the Lightning Round. Some think you need your whole team to guess the correct door for the final round, and some think you need to kill an invisible target called the Special Guest to trigger it, but from our experience, the Lightning Round is a completely random ev

When you reach 10,000 Strange Favor, you can reset your rank with Xur to restart the grind. This lets you reobtain most of Xur's reward track items and Strange Engrams, although the rank 16 Ascendant Shard will be replaced with an Exotic Engram. You can only reset your Strange Favor five times per sea
Every run of Dares of Eternity grants 75 Strange Favor, with consecutive completions granting more favor due to the Activity Streak bonus (explained below). Both Normal and Legend runs grant +75 Strange Favor upon a Platinum completion. If you're looking to increase your rank quickly, running Normal Dares of Eternity is recommen
