Destiny 2's Tonic System Improved but Falls Short of Crafting's Simplicity

A December 17 update fixed bugs and improved functionality for Tonics in Episode Revenant, but players remain critical of its complexity compared to crafting.

• The December 17 update guarantees loot tied to Legendary Tonics and increases drop rates for targeted rewards in specific activities.
• Tonic durations were extended across all rarities, reducing the need for frequent reapplication during gameplay.
• Players have criticized the Tonic system for being overly complex and time-consuming compared to the streamlined weapon crafting introduced in The Witch Queen expansion.
• Community feedback has been mixed, with many questioning why these improvements weren’t implemented when Tonics were first introduced.
• Bungie has hinted at further updates to the Tonic system in early 2025, but its long-term viability as a loot mechanic remains uncertain.
