'Destiny 2' Arc 3.0 Abilities And Aspects Revealed

Bungie has revealed the changes and additions coming to the Arc subclass update for "Destiny 2" Season 18, promising an electrifying new way to play the game.

Here's a summary of all the improvements in Arc 3.0.

General Playstyle

The Arc element itself is getting reworked in the coming update to have its own identity. Now, Arc will focus on three main actions with the following effects:

• Amplified – gain increased handling and movement speed after chaining Arc damage kills
• Blind – prevents enemies from seeing and causes a flashbang effect in PvP
• Jolt – causes enemies to send chain lightning out to other targets

Additionally, all Guardians will be able to generate Ionic Traces via aspects and fragments. According to the developers, they wanted Arc 3.0 to be the "Hold W subclass" that rewards aggressive play.
