The systematic removal of seasonal content, including missions, activities, and gear, is perhaps the most criticized part of Destiny 2. Bungie has confessed that their FOMO approach to seasonal content had gone too far and promises to improve the seasonal experience continuously.
Last season, Bungie took another step in the right direction with the return of gear from previous Season Passes and continues this season with the re-release of the Season of the Undying armor sets.
How to get the Phenotype Plasticity armor this season
The Season of Undying Ornaments is now available on the Eververse store (week 7). Sadly, these ornaments are unavailable for Bright Dust and will cost a whopping 1,500 Silver per Class.

Phenotype Plasticity Ornaments: Season of Undying Armor
Until recently, armor sets from the Season Pass would become unavailable as soon as the season ended. This meant that if you missed a season, there was no way to acquire that season’s armor sets and ornaments. This was the case for the premium Season of Undying armor sets, the Phenotype Plasticity Ornaments:
| Armor Set | Released | Titan Preview | Hunter Preview | Warlock Preview | Source | Obtainable? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phenotype Plasticity Ornament Season Pass | Season 08 |  |  |  | Season Pass | No |
An Eververse “event”
But on August 24, 2023, Bungie confirmed that gear from previous Season Passes would return to the game. And they started last season with Season of the Worthy gear, including the Valkyrian ornaments:
Later in Season of the Witch, we’re planning on bringing back a selection of cosmetic items from previous Season Passes to the Eververse, for players who missed out on acquiring them. We’ll be starting with a handful of items from Season of the Worthy.
In the future, other Seasonal items may return. More info on future offerings at a later date.
The trend continues this season, with the release of the Undying Ornaments and more recently the Season of Dawn Ornaments:

Good idea, terrible implementation
The idea to bring back gear from previous seasons was great. It helps combat FOMO and bring loot from the past back to the forefront. However, making this available for Silver leaves a bad taste. As pointed out by several users on Twitter, acquiring all Season of the Undying items today will cost you roughly $70 compared to the $10 they initially cost as part of the Season of the Undying Season Pass:
- Cost of all items: 7,000 Silver ($70)
- Armor Ornament Set: 1,500 ($15) or 4,500 Silver ($45) for all three Classes
- Weapon Ornament: 700 Silver ($7)
- Exotic Emote: 1,000 Silver ($10)
- Finisher: 800 Silver ($8)
