What will the Lightning Strikes Twice mod do in Destiny 2?

Some of the mods included in the Artifact bring back familiar staples in Guardians’ arsenals like Anti-Barrier Sniper and Overload Bow mods for champions, while others are designed to bring new options into the mix for Guardians. The new set includes Bad Amplitude, a Class armor mod that stacks the new jolt debuff onto Champions after damaging them with your Arc abilities, as well as the new Lightning Strikes Twice mod.

With this mod equipped, throwing an Arc grenade gives you increased grenade recharge for a short time. This can be extended by getting Arc final blows. Based on this description, it’d be possible to extend the duration with kills from Arc weapons and melees in addition to your grenades, making it possible to recharge your grenade quickly by dispatching a group of enemies with a well-placed grenade and weapon or melee combo.

Players can equip this mod in their Class armor, which typically holds seasonal mods with significant build-altering abilities. In its announcement of the mods for Season 18, Bungie mentioned it alongside other mods like Hype Train and Bad Amplitude as having plenty of potential to “make a spicy Guardian even spicier.”

Maximizing builds to include mods like Lightning Strikes Twice and Hype Train Conductor will be a must for Guardians looking to zap their foes as efficiently as possible with the Arc 3.0 subclasses during Season 18. With Arcstrider Hunters having the new Gathering Storm super, expanded abilities for Striker Titans, and a refined arsenal for Stormcaller Warlocks, it’s the perfect time to get zappy.
