The Artifact has always been a substantial part of Destiny 2. In Episode: Heresy, Artifact mods like Limit Break, Legend Incarnate, Flashover, No Bell, and Particle Reconstruction have shaped the meta. With the release of the next Artifact, there are bound to be more shifts in the Destiny 2 meta. Thanks to MrRoflWaffles, we have all the Artifact mods coming at the beginning of the Edge of Fate.

Column 1

  • Anti-Barrier Scout and Pulse: Your equipped Scout Rifles and Pulse Rifles fire shield-piercing rounds and stun Barrier champs.
  • Unstoppable Sidearm and Hand Cannon: Aiming down the sights of a Hand Cannon or Sidearm for a short time loads a powerful payload that stuns unshielded combatants. Strong against Unstoppable champions.
  • Unstoppable Sniper: Aiming down the sights of a Sniper Rifle for a short time loads a powerful payload that stuns unshielded combatants. Strong against Unstoppable champions.
  • Overload Shotgun: Your equipped shotguns fire disrupting rounds which stun the target, delaying ability regeneration and lowering combatant damage output. Strong against Overload champions.
  • Overload Rapid Fire: Uninterrupted fire from your equipped Auto Rifles and Submachine Guns grants bullets that stun combatants, delaying ability regeneration and lowering combatant damage output. Strong against Overload Champions.

Column 2

  • Flame, Fiber, and Freeze: Combines the Solar/Strand and Solar/Stasis siphon mods into one.
  • Diviner’s Discount: All Scavenger mods are discounted.
  • One With Frost: While Frost Armor is active, Stasis weapons gain increased reload speed and stability. Stasis Swords gain increased guard resistance.
  • Tightly Woven: While Woven Mail is active, gain increased Super and Grenade stats.
  • Rapid Precision Rifling: Rapid precision hits or final blows with Scout Rifles grant them increased reload and reduced incoming flinch.

Column 3

  • Fever and Chill: Rapid Precision hits with Solar weapons grant Radiant. Rapid precision hits with Stasis weapons grant Frost Armor.
  • Elemental Benevolence: Granting allies an elemental buff gives Class ability energy.
  • Frost Renewal: While you have Frost Armor, taking critical damage releases a burst that freezes nearby combatants and grants Frost Armor to you and nearby allies.
  • Reciprocal Draw: Rapid non-Sidearm final blows grant Sidearms a period of increased damage for a short time upon next draw.
  • Refresh Threads: Picking up an elemental pickup matching your subclass element or Tangle while you have a Strand Super grants energy to your least charged ability.

Column 4

  • Threaded Blast: Destroying a Tangle with Strand damage increases the radius of the explosion and its damage.
  • Cauterized Darkness: Stasis or Strand debuffed non-boss combatants take increased Solar damage from all sources.
  • Elemental Daze: Stunning a Champion with an elemental weapon creates an elementally aligned explosion, applying a matching elemental debuff to them and nearby targets.
  • Shoulder to Shoulder: Dealing sustained precision damage against combatants while near two or more allies grants you damage resistance.
  • Elemental Coalescence: Defeating targets has the chance to create an elemental pickup matching your equipped Super element.

Column 5

  • Radiant Shrapnel: Dealing sustained weapon damage while Radiant or defeating a scorched combatant with a weapon causes the target to release Solar projectiles that deal damage and scorch on impact.
  • Shieldcrush:
    • While you have Woven Mail, Frost Armor, or a Void overshield, your melee recharges faster and deals increased damage.
    • While you are Amplified or Radiant, your grenade recharges faster and deals increased damage.
  • Elemental Overdrive: Picking up an elemental pickup or Tangle grants increased damage to weapons of the same element.
  • Tangled Web: Creating a Tangle by defeating a Strand debuffed target, suspends nearby combatants.
  • Frigid Glare: While Frost Armor is active, Stasis precision final blows cause combatants to release a freezing burst.

Implement of Curiosity Artifact Thoughts

There is plenty of emphasis on Stasis, Strand, and Solar Subclasses in the Artifact. There are plenty of synergies from this Artifact, and we will likely see builds surrounding them. The new Exotic Armor pieces coming in the Edge of Fate expansion will benefit from these Artifact perks. The one we have our eyes on is the Shieldcrush mod, given that we have seen it before, and it was potent for players. Check out MrRoflWaffles’ video for builds and synergies on the new Artifact. Let us know what Artifact mods you are most excited about in the Edge of Fate!
