Destiny 2 has been undergoing seismic shifts since The Final Shape dropped, especially after that rocky Episode 1 phase. Bungie's ditching the old expansion model entirely for the upcoming Frontiers launch—no more yearly drops or episodic chunks. But one legacy system's still clinging on like a stubborn Thrall in the Tower: Deepsight Harmonizers. These Season Pass exclusives made sense back when crafting was everywhere, but now? They're about as useful as a broken Sparrow in the Vault of Glass. 💥

Seasonal weapons used to be the heartbeat of Destiny's content cycle. Guns like the Heresy grenade launcher with its Area-Denial frame kept guardians grinding for god rolls. Crafting exploded with The Witch Queen—suddenly everyone was chasing red borders to forge their perfect Immortal or Calus Mini-Tool. Deepsight Harmonizers landed as the Season Pass MVP back then. Toss one on any craftable weapon? Instant red border, no RNG agony. But Bungie's pivot away from crafting post-Echoes changed everything. Outside raids, crafting's basically extinct. And that leaves Harmonizers stranded in 2023 while the game speeds toward 2025's Frontiers.

The irony’s thick enough to slice with a Falling Guillotine. These Harmonizers are:

  • Still locked to Season Passes (nowhere else drops 'em)

  • Non-stackable past 5 (hoarding? Nope)

  • Require 15 Spoils of Conquest for raid weapons (extra grind on top)

  • Useless for 90% of new loot (since non-raid activities ditched crafting)

So why keep ’em? Bungie’s stuck between a Cabal drop pod and a hard place. New players catching up on old patterns might need Harmonizers… but veterans just side-eye them like expired Ramen coupons. The solution? Swap ’em for Spoils of Conquest in the Season Pass. Controversial? Maybe—Spoils come from raids, after all. But think bigger:

  • Casual raiders stockpile Spoils for focused weapon rolls 💯

  • Hardcore teams blaze through collections 🔥

  • Non-raiders buy exotics at the Monument of Lost Lights 🗿

Spoils are the universal glue Destiny needs. They respect time investment across playstyles—unlike Harmonizers, which just… sit there. Frontiers is Bungie’s chance to finally retire this relic. Will they? Guardians are leaning against the wall near Zavala, arms crossed. Waiting. 🎮
