Destiny 2: Nightfall loadouts will be locked, but Raids won’t

Bungie has confirmed which of Destiny 2‘s events will feature loadout locks and which will not.

The clarification has come after it was erroneously stated that Raids would feature locked loadouts, meaning players couldn’t leave an event and rejoin with different weapons.

“When the activity starts, your loadouts are restricted for the duration of that activity,” Bungie’s Justin Truman told PCGamesN. “An example is the Nightfall Strikes, where we wanna make it really about the tactical decision-making of: ‘what do I want to bring in to maximise my ability to play this strike with these modifiers on.’ You have to make those decisions up front, because we then lock your ability to change your loadout for the duration.”

Truman also said Raids applied, though Bungie’s Luke Smith has taken to Twitter to rebuke that.
