Perhaps it's too early to say, but I'm feeling a bit underwhelmed by the Speed Booster part of Arc 3.0. After doing a cursory glance at the fragments and season artifact, there appears to be nothing that further helps Speed Booster.
I'm not sure if Bungie has posted the exact buff figures anywhere, but Speed Booster feels like maybe a 1.1x multiplier to your characters normal sprint speed. I understand that Speed Booster is probably one of the less crucial parts of the Arc 3.0 rework, but it was a part that I was looking forward to as a potential reason to jump off Solar for my Hunter this season. I was really hyped when Bungie said that it was inspired by Metroid's Speedbooster, so here I am ready to have a big sprint buff and then it's just a eurobeat speed visual and some sound effects.
I understand that perhaps this decision was made to avoid overtuning such an ability, especially for PvP, but in its current state, it was just a letdown. Hoping that maybe they'll take another look at it at some point, but at least so far Arc 3.0 seems fun

Reality you get a tiny speed boost and sound like a washing machine starting up then you hit or get stuck on something becuase you have a turning circle of a 747. No maneuverability or agility.
