The new season of Destiny 2 is here and players are getting to find out everything that is new in it. Season of Defiance has a lot of new stuff, including missions, the main storylines, weapons, and more. There is also a new Artifact called The Ascendant Scepter which is causing waves for its powers and effects.
It is a passive Artifact and has some great mods to go with it, old and new. Players will have a new style of getting the Artifact and the 25 mods are also something you need to be aware of. In that regard, the following guide will help players in getting The Ascendant Scepter and all the mods that come with it.
Destiny 2: Lightfall – Everything to know about Ascendant Scepter Artifact
The new Artifact will have a maximum of 12 passive bonuses that remain active throughout despite any armor mods. Players will be able to reset them as well whenever they want. The unlocking of the five columns of The Ascendant of Scepter follows a particular order.
Column One is unlocked on its own while Columns Two, Three, Four, and Five will require gathering three, five, seven, and 10 Artifact passive bonuses respectively. Players will also see the Overcharged show up in some mods.
It is an endgame modifier that gives you 25% more damage to any weapon having Overcharged type. The selection of anti-Champion mods will have extra Overcharged options but they do not stack with elemental singes. Nightfalls, Legend Dares of Eternity, Master-level Dungeons, Raids, and Legendary Lost Sectors all have use of Overcharge but no PvP activity contains it.
