Bungie announced on Reddit that Unstable Cores will soon be fully deprecated.
The decision follows player feedback and internal review, concluding that the system has been too restrictive.
Infusion — the process of raising a weapon or armor piece’s power level — will instead require Enhancement Cores and Glimmer.
This change is part of a broader economy rebalancing to make progression smoother and more flexible for players.
Destiny 2: Renegades launches on December 2.
