Destiny 2's Season of the Seraph has been a long and bumpy road for both the developers and players alike. Sadly, things haven't been looking good with sudden API and server shutdowns, alongside multiple error codes and bugs. Thankfully, with almost everything being fixed now, there also seems to be promising changes for Season 20 and Lightfall.

Starting with the Y6 expansion, Destiny 2 players will be getting a complete overhaul of vendors and their inventory. Most of these additions have a lot to do with how their rewards system has worked so far, and how much players will be rewarded is based on the amount of time they farm.

The following article lists all of the upcoming economic changes in Destiny 2 Lightfall and Season 20.

Destiny 2 Season 20 will bring massive changes to vendor inventory and focusing

Starting off with Nightfall weapons, Destiny 2 will naturally have two new weapons taking the place of two existing weapons, which will be vaulted out. However, Bungie is not entirely looking to spend their updates on new gear, as Legacy focusing is going to be featured as well.

Additionally, players should also note that Umbral Engrams won't be dropping starting with Season 20. Instead, each season will be getting a special Engram drop based on its name. Since the announcements on focusing have been a hot topic of discussion for the last few hours, here are all the changes that players can expect on Zavala:

Nightfall weapon focus cost:

1 Vanguard Engram
20,000 Glimmer
50 Legendary Shards

The Nightfall Weapons available for focusing in Season 20 are:

The Militia’s Birthright
Mindbender’s Ambition
Wendigo GL-3
Hung Jury SR-4
The Swarm
Buzzard

Adept Nightfall Ciphers:

Bungie will be adding a brand new currency called Adept Nightfall Ciphers, which can be earned in different quantities based on the completion tier. The number of Ciphers awarded per GM Nightfall completion score are as follows:

Platinum = 2
Gold = 1
Silver = 0

Nightfall Weapon

1 Vanguard Engram
20,000 Glimmer
25 Legendary Shards
0 Adept Nightfall Cipher

Adept Nightfall Weapon

3 Vanguard Engrams
50,000 Glimmer
50 Legendary Shards
10 Adept Nightfall Ciphers

Only one Adept Nightfall weapon will be available to focus on each week. Players can choose to accumulate the required amount of currency and wait for the time when their preferred weapon gets featured.

In terms of Legacy focusing, the following weapons will be available in the Nightfall pool:

PLUG One.1.
Uzume RR4.
The Hothead.
The Comedian.
Duty Bound.
Silicon Neuroma.
D.F.A.
Horror’s Least.

Since this is based on Legacy gear only, Bungie won't be bringing in Adept versions of the aforementioned weapons for focus. As for Iron Banner legacy focusing, the following weapons will be available in Season 20:

Archon’s Thunder
Riiswalker
Occluded Finality
Forge’s Pledge
Peacebond
Frontier’s Cry

The cost for each weapon will be 7 Iron Engrams, 100 Legendary Shards, and 10,000 Glimmers (if players haven't unlocked it in the inventory already). However, if the weapon is unlocked, the focusing will cost 3 Iron Engrams, 25 Legendary Shards, and 25,000 Glimmers.

Lastly, Trials of Osiris will also receive a Legacy focusing, where the available weapons will include the following list:

Shayura’s Wrath
Reed’s Regret
Aisha’s Embrace
Burden of Guilt
Forgiveness

However, the most interesting information from these announcements comes in the form of the currency, where Bungie lists the following price tags for each Adept weapon:

1 Ritual Engram
Trials or Vanguard (depending on the vendor)
50,000 Glimmer
50 Legendary Shards
7-Win Trials Ticket or 10 Adept Nightfall Ciphers
