IGN recently reported on data miners who allege that Destiny‘s newest microtransactions could go beyond cosmetic items to those that would affect the game’s balance.
Three new items have been uncovered via the game’s patch files, including Valorous Light, Heuristic Light and Subclass Infusion.
Valorous Light seems to increase the chance of weapon and armour drops in the new King’s Fall Raid, much like the Three of Coins increases the chance of Exotic drops from Ultras. Heuristic Light will cause an extra Moldering Shard to drop in the same new Raid.
After suggestions that Valorous and Heuristic Light might be obtainable through new, in-game microtransactions, Bungie’s Luke Smith took to Twitter to dismiss claims.

Case closed, right? Wrong. The third newly discovered item — Subclass Infusion — doesn’t affect drop rates in the King’s Fall Raid, but instead seems to fully level a Guardian’s currently-equipped subclass.
Bungie has yet to make statement on whether or not the Subclass Infusion will be purchasable.
Destiny‘s microtransactions went live yesterday, offering Guardians the chance to buy cosmetic emotes like The Carlton Dance.
