Destiny 2: Lightfall's new loadout system will let players swap gear in the middle of an activity

Bungie recently gave us the chance to see Destiny 2: Lightfall in action. In a behind-closed-doors presentation, Bungie showed off Destiny 2's new city of Neomuna, and most excitingly of all—for me and other buildcrafting sickos, at least—demonstrated the new in-game loadouts system...

Destiny 2 reveals bold plan to stop lethally physics-slamming players into walls

Honestly, if I had a dollar for every time I've been launched into a hard surface and atomised in Destiny 2 I'd probably have enough money to buy Bungie. Or at least the boss design department. Since the series' inception, Destiny has been rife with bosses—and lesser enemies, hello Cabal Phalanx shields—that can fire you across the room like a Hellfire missile filled with moonshine.
