1) Ash & Iron

Ash & Iron is a mid-expansion update, marking the second half of The Edge of Fate. Here, players can partake in new activities and grind for new weapons, all while completing new seasonal challenges for EXP. Bungie released an update trailer, showcasing new weapons, Strum rework, the Plaguelands open world, and a new reward pass.

The update will bring in a new Exotic available via this reward pass, with ornaments and catalysts as well.

Plaguelands is one of the primary features of the update, a returning location from Destiny 1. More details on the activity and open world remain unknown for now.

2) Power cap increased

All players will have their power cap increased to 550 from 450. This means that the power grind until 450 will be the usual, where power will be given to everyone with a +3 bonus upon running Solo Ops. After hitting 450, the power bonus gain will be reduced to +1 per drop, but can still be acquired through running Ops missions.

Note that players won't exclusively require Prime Engrams from 450 to 550.
