As the launch of Destiny 2's Edge of Fate expansion approaches, Bungie has fully unveiled its new artifact—the Implement of Curiosity—alongside all its game-changing perks. This artifact heavily emphasizes Solar, Strand, and Stasis subclasses, reshaping the meta for Guardians preparing for the expansion's challenges.

The Implement of Curiosity marks a strategic shift in buildcrafting, reintroducing fan-favorite perks like Threaded Blast while offering universal "Elemental" mods for Void and Arc subclasses. Bungie's latest blog post confirms the artifact's five-column perk structure, each tier catering to specific combat styles:

• Anti-Champion Arsenal: Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and Hand Cannons gain dedicated counters, with flexible options for Auto Rifles and Scouts.
• Elemental Synergy: Frost-based perks like One with Frost and Solar-enhanced Radiant Shrapnel enable powerful subclass combinations.
• Sandbox Shakeup: Exotics like Tommy's Matchbook and Hierarchy of Needs receive buffs to compete in the new meta.

The artifact's design suggests Bungie's intent to rotate the spotlight between Light and Darkness subclasses, with Stasis seeing particular attention after recent seasons. Alongside the Armor 3.0 system introducing set bonuses, Edge of Fate promises to redefine endgame loadouts when it goes live next week.
