Overview
- Bungie, which announced Wednesday that Season 2 starts June 2, will reset runner rank, faction progress, inventories and most currencies to zero.
- Players keep cosmetics, codex progress, faction access, LUX and SILK balances, and Reward Pass progress, with tiered Sponsored Kits at Season 2 start based on Season 1 runner levels.
- Ahead of the reset, Bungie is boosting rewards by guaranteeing on‑map events and Warden key drops starting May 19, opening the Cryo Archive endgame map daily with a free kit from May 21, and running a Cryo Archive Ranked window from May 24 to May 28.
- Season 2: Nightfall adds the Night Marsh map, the defensive Sentinel runner shell, new weapons, The Cradle system to tune shell stats, and faster faction progression with quality‑of‑life fixes.
- Game director Joe Ziegler detailed two PvE‑focused experimental modes in Season 2 and a multi‑season roadmap to ease the grind and improve onboarding, following Sony’s acknowledgment of underperformance and continued support.
