All Artifact Perks coming with Lightfall in Destiny 2

Oh, these will do nicely.

Change is coming to Destiny 2 with the launch of Lightfall. One of the bigger changes will be the conversion of Artifact Mods into Artifact Perks. These perks are passive and don't require Guardians to slot them into any armor pieces. Once unlocked, it will automatically apply to your Guardian. Only 12 perks can be unlocked per character, but the Artifact can be reset at any time during the season for no cost. To help you build-craft a little easier, here are each of the Artifact Perks for Lightfall's first Season.
