TL;DR -

• Floor - 1350
  
• Soft cap - 1500
  
• Power cap - 1550
  
• Hard cap - 1560

...

Beginning in The Witch Queen, blue (Rare) rewards will stop dropping from playlist activities (Crucible, Strikes, Gambit, etc.) once players have reached the soft cap. Players above the soft cap (1500 Power in The Witch Queen) will instead see a slightly increased chance at receiving Legendary rewards from these activities, or a small amount of Legendary Shards.

Blue weapons and armors will continue to drop from enemies and chests while playing Destiny 2, but we hope that this will reduce the need for players to manage their inventories and reduce the frequency of visits to the Postmaster when running playlist activities.

...

Banshee-44 is getting a new reputation system...

...Gunsmith Materials and Weapon Telemetries. Players will now earn Reputation Rank progress with Banshee-44 when dismantling Legendary and Exotic weapons and armor or by completing daily Gunsmith bounties.

We will also be removing Mod Components from the game...

...purchase and will instead cost 10,000 Glimmer each

...all Ghost Mods that generated Weapon Telemetries will be removed

...Master Rahool will also be able to decrypt Umbral engrams, so players will not have to hop between the H.E.L.M. and the Tower to decrypt all of the engrams in their inventory. Focusing for individual Seasonal weapons and armor will live on Seasonal Vendors in the H.E.L.M. moving forward, so if you want to focus on a specific weapon from a given Season, you’ll still need to head to the H.E.L.M. for decryption.

Hawkmoon & Dead Man’s Tale will be offered to all players that own Beyond Light with a random roll every week at Xur for...

• 1 Ascendant Shard
  
• 1 Exotic Cipher
  
• 125,000 Glimmer
  
• 200 Legendary Shards

Furthermore the...

• Hawkmoon
  
• Dead Man's Tale
  
• Ager's Scepter
  
• Outbreak Perfected
  
• Whisper of the Worm
  
• The Fourth Horseman

...catalysts will be moved to the playlist activity (Strikes, Crucible, Gambit) completions.

Outbreak Perfected and Whisper of the Worm have both had the requirements for completing their catalyst updated so that they can be completed without access to their original activities.
