If you’re wondering how to change campaign difficulty in Destiny 2 Lightfall, the process is pretty simple. It doesn’t take much effort to switch from Classic to Legendary modes and ramp things up, gaining bigger and better rewards for doing so.
Of course, changing the Lightfall difficulty from Classic to Legendary adds mission modifiers that will let enemies deal more damage or gain more health, among quite a few other things. And there are the expected burn modifiers to keep in mind before starting any mission or encounter.
When you begin Lightfall, you’ll be given the choice between “Be Brave” and “Become Legend.” These are Classic and Legendary difficulties in everything but name. Choose one or the other to start the Lightfall campaign on that chosen difficulty. If you’ve accidentally skipped it, want to revert to something easier, or make the game harder, you can change difficulty in just a few simple steps.
