Destiny 2 players have found that the normal Vanguard strike playlist now includes Champions and Tormentors, increasing the difficulty to a level typically reserved for Nightfalls. The Final Shape expansion for Destiny 2 has profoundly impacted the game, not only by concluding a 10-year story but also by introducing significant changes to certain mechanics, some of which have sparked divisiveness within the community.

One of the major additions in The Final Shape is the Pathfinder system, which replaced weekly and daily bounties from ritual vendors like Lord Shaxx, the Drifter, and Zavala. Players now complete nodes to work towards an end reward, a process that can be repeated. However, many Destiny 2 players have found issues with this new system, as it is not as straightforward as the previous bounties. Additionally, The Final Shape brought changes to the game's difficulty, including the return of a higher Power Cap and the introduction of the Fireteam Power mechanic. Some of these changes appear to have had unintended consequences for typically more straightforward content.
The Vanguard strikes playlist, which usually offers an easier way to obtain loot or complete Pathfinder nodes compared to Nightfalls, has recently become more challenging. Players have noticed a significant increase in difficulty within this playlist, leading many to believe that something may have accidentally changed following the expansion release or with a recent Destiny 2 update.
Social media posts have highlighted issues with the current Vanguard Strike Playlist. User Melchior2001 noted that Champions are now appearing, causing problems for newer players and resulting in many leaving the activity out of frustration. The main issue is that the activity selection screen does not indicate the presence of Champions. Others have confirmed this change, suggesting that Bungie may have forgotten to remove certain gameplay elements from activities like Defiant Battlegrounds when incorporating them into the Strike Playlist. Additionally, the Tormentor room in the Nightfall version of Lake of Shadows appears to be spawning in lower difficulty Strike runs.
Comments on these issues have included sarcastic remarks about Bungie thinking the game is too easy and adding more difficult content. This isn't the first time players have criticized the game's difficulty. Destiny 2 Raids and Dungeons have received complaints about encounters feeling tedious and overly tuned since the launch of The Final Shape. The feedback prompted Bungie to remove elemental surges, tune the experience, and add a default damage boost for players.
