==Strike Scoring==
As well as the introduction of revamped [[strikes]], we will also see [[Strike Scoring]] make an appearance. This will include Point scoring and the awarding of [[Medals]] for meeting certain feats such as [[Killing Sprees]] and certain weapon combos

Functioning similarly to [[Prison of Elders]] scoring, Strike scoring gives you a chance to earn rewards and challenge leader boards

Players can also earn reputation in a new Strike scoring for the [[Vanguard]] headed up by [[Zavala]], who will also offer bounties.

'''It also should be noted reports suggesting Zavala will also hold [[Nightfall Bounties]] and this is a route to obtaining the [[Ice Breaker]] – This also suggests Ice Breaker is NOT obtainable through 3oC'''

Returning Strikes:
*[[Taniks]] Returns
*[[Omnigul]] Returns
*[[Nexus]] Returns

'''New [[Strike Specific Loot]] confirmed to be included within the new Strikes'''

==Breaking The Ice==
Along with the update we will see the introduction of NEW Exotics and a return of an old friend:

*'''[[Ice Breaker]]''' is BACK

*[[Void]] [[Thunderlord]] called '''[[Nova Mortis]]'''

*[[Solar]] Thunderlord called '''[[Abaddon]]'''

Along with the Weapons we have the introduction of new Weapon Ornaments to obtain:

*[[Thorn]] [[Ornaments]]
*[[Last Word]] [[Ornaments]]
*[[Black Spindle]] [[Ornaments]]
*[[Ice Breaker]] [[Ornaments]]

==Quality of Life Changes==
*[[Green Engrams]] will AUTOMATICALLY dismantle into [[Weapon Parts]] and [[Armor Materials]] (Confirmed to be triggered once you hit Level 40)
*Eververse will be selling ‘The Dawning’ Treasure boxes which will contain cosmetic items and a new armor set ONLY available through the boxes
*Ornament Kiosk to be added and SPECIFIC Ornaments can be purchased and saved in the Kiosk for future use (No confirmation if this Included Bad Juju which you can only obtain from Radiant Treasures for now)
*[[Ornaments]] will be able to be purchased SPECIFICALLY and will not be locked behind RNG in Treasure Boxes
*[[Xur]] will stop selling ornaments. The kiosk will sell all past event ornaments for 25 silver per. The price will not change regardless of you having obtained the ornament or not. Xur will stop selling ornaments due to this.
*[[Skeleton Key]] Drop Rates are to be INCREASED
