Big changes are coming in Destiny 2's fourth year, and new details have shown just how much they're going to affect players and the loot they've been chasing. According to Bungie's latest rundown of what's to come, some of the best, most sought-after and most-used guns in the game will become obsolete in the coming months. That includes The Recluse, The Mountaintop, Luna's Howl, Not Forgotten, and more.

In its This Week at Bungie blog post, the developer outlined new details about changes to its weapon and armor Power system that will be visible in Season 11, which starts in June, and go into full effect in Season 12, which kicks off in the fall. The changes in the system will introduce a Maximum Power stat for weapons and armor, which will put a cap on how strong they can become using Destiny 2's Infusion system.

The new system effectively adds an expiration date to all the gear in the game--three seasons after it's released, you won't be able to raise the Power level of that gear any higher, which will mean you'll need to replace it with new, higher-level gear to participate in the toughest Destiny 2 activities, such as its raids.
