Bungie Permanently Disables Two Dungeon Armor Set Bonuses in Destiny 2 PvP

On July 2, 2026 Bungie announced that two set bonuses, including the Overflowing Coffers 4-piece bonus from the Grasp of Avarice dungeon, will be permanently disabled in Destiny 2’s PvP modes. The change addresses balance issues where rapid health regeneration and super-ability generation let players secure supers in the second round of Trials or 1v1 matches.

The decision follows Bungie’s end-of-service (EoS) announcement for the live Destiny 2 title and a staff reduction that cut “almost the entire Destiny 2 team.” With only one hotfix left before the EoS window, the remaining engineers are focusing on final fixes rather than extensive rebalancing.

The primary parties are Bungie, the developer and publisher of Destiny 2, and its internal “Destiny 2 Team,” which posts updates on X. The affected content originates from the Grasp of Avarice dungeon, a late-game activity, and the associated Overflowing Coffers armor set.

• One hotfix remains before the final EoS patch.

• Two set bonuses from the Overflowing Coffers 4-piece set will be disabled.

• The staff cut affected “almost the entire” development team, leaving a minimal crew for remaining issues.

The disabled bonuses granted extra energy from Orbs of Power and Elemental pickups, and increased Strand Tangle damage while Untold Greed stacks were active. This allowed players to break shields, convert stacks into a “fountain of Orbs of Power,” and generate supers faster than intended, skewing competitive balance in Trials and 1v1 fights. Their removal restores the intended pacing for PvP.

Bungie’s Destiny 2 Team posted on X that the Overflowing Coffers bonuses “provide more energy from Orbs of Power and Elemental pickups, and increase Strand Tangle damage while Untold Greed stacks are active.” The team added that “when shields are broken, all stacks are converted into a fountain of Orbs of Power,” noting the permanent disablement is necessary given limited development resources.

The announcement does not give the exact date the disablement will take effect, nor does it indicate whether other armor sets will face similar permanent changes. No data were provided on how many matches were affected before the decision.

Bungie plans to release the final hotfix before the end-of-service transition proceeds. Players should see the disabled bonuses cease in PvP immediately upon the patch.
