Ever since the release of Destiny 2's Edge of Fate expansion, developer Bungie has been busy fixing the many problems created by this very expansion. Amid widespread community pushback and series-low player counts on Steam, the studio's just announced another major U-turn: Destiny 2's Unstable Cores are being removed entirely.
Unstable Cores were introduced in Edge of Fate as the new infusion fodder used to increase the Power level of a piece of gear. Bungie is physically incapable of not releasing new currencies, and this one proved particularly problematic. High infusion costs, difficult activity modifiers, and reward payouts based on equipped Power actively discouraged buildcrafting experimentation and added yet another tedious grind to the to-do list. You had to infuse stuff, but it would cost you an arm and a leg in cores, so it was extremely difficult to get multiple builds up to snuff.
