Power-enabled combat can be a tough challenge, but it\u2019s well worth the effort. This Season, The Forward path and Fool\u2019s Remedy made their return with random rolls and brand new Iron Banner perks. Some weapon specialists among you have been diving deep into perk combinations, giving recommendations on the best rolls for success.<\/p>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bungie.net\/pubassets\/pkgs\/138\/138328\/IronBanner_Weapons_1.jpg?cv=3983621215&amp;av=1624985878\"><\/div>\n<p>Additionally, some changes were made to our Seasonal quest offering to make these returning weapons a bit more accessible. If you haven\u2019t already, stop by Lord Saladin in the Tower to kick off your Seasonal quest, and make sure to grab your four weekly bounties to earn some Pinnacle gear as you play. A few of you also noticed that Enhanced Armor Mods have a chance to drop on match completion, so games have felt a little more rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>Gear up, form a fireteam, and get out there. Lord Saladin is waiting.<\/p>\n<h2>Sub-Training<\/h2>\n<div>A few months back, the official Twitch Destiny Extension was released, giving players the opportunity to showcase their builds while playing Trials of Osiris every weekend. We\u2019ve been slowly building this feature and introduced bounties to earn Trials Tokens when reacting to matches. Tuesday, we introduced a new bounty which brought quite a buzz to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/directory\/game\/Destiny%202\" title target>Destiny directory<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p><b>Gifted Subs Bounty<\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Gift 2x subscriptions to any Twitch steamer live-streaming Destiny 2 when they have the official Twitch Destiny Extension active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>While this bounty will be available weekly, your first completion will award you two exclusive rewards: the \u201cStream of Light\u201d emblem and \u201cWatcher\u2019s Shade\u201d shader, each of which will be available from Amanda Holliday in the Tower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bungie.net\/pubassets\/pkgs\/138\/138328\/Twitch_Emblem.jpg?cv=3983621215&amp;av=1624985878\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bungie.net\/pubassets\/pkgs\/138\/138328\/Twitch_Shader.jpg?cv=3983621215&amp;av=1624985878\"><\/div>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen a few questions popping up on this, so let\u2019s get to some answers.<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Do I need to do anything before gifting subscriptions?<\/li>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes.
