Curious how the new artifact perks in Destiny 2 work? ONE Esports shares all the details you need to know.
Destiny 2’s slayer baron adventure continues in Act 2 of Episode Revenant, including the ongoing vampire-themed storyline involving Fikrul the Fanatic and his undead army of Scorn.
Additionally, Revenant Act 2 will introduce new weapons, activity, and cosmetic items like the Doki Doki armor set, among other things.
If you’re more into seasonal buildcrafting and being on top of the meta, there’s good news. Bungie is adding new artifact perks in Revenant Act 2 to shake up your existing builds.
Destiny 2 Revenant Act 2 artifact perks explained
Revenant Act 2 will add five new artifact perks to the Slayer Baron Apothecary Satchel.
| COLUMN 1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4 | COLUMN 5 |
| Authorized Mods: The armor energy costs of all armor mods affecting your melee are significantly discounted. | Emergency Flare: Emergency Reinforcements consumes all but 1 Armor Charge. | The Thick of It: Rapid final blows while surrounded grant you Armor Charge. Boost: While you are surrounded, your weapons have increased handling. Swords gain increased charged rate. | Curative Orbs: The first time you break a target’s shield or break the shield of a guardian using their Super, you create an Orb of Power. Boost: Picking up an Orb of Power, an elemental pickup, or a Tange grants you a small amount of health. | Arc Compounding: Arc source deals increased damage to Blind targets. |
Authorized Mods and Arc Compounding are the ones to watch out for.
Authorized Mods will be incredibly useful if you’re running a melee-focused build. As a Hunter main, I like using Liar’s Handshake, and this perk could make it more effective in numerous ways.
Likewise, Arc Compounding can empower Arc builds. Even though Revenant is a Stasis-themed episode, there’s no harm in blinding and jolting enemies.
