This should make it much harder to use, making the gun more skill-based. However, the most popular linear fusion in PvP and Gambit, the exotic Queensbreaker, is having its aim assist adjusted to be more in line with other linear fusion rifles. All linear fusions will get a 10 percent increase in damage in PvE. The extent of these changes aren’t clear, and Bungie should offer more information in the coming weeks.īungie is also adjusting linear fusion rifles in Season of the Drifter. But with the increase in damage and slowing of shotguns across the board, players should have more choices in what they carry into battle.īungie also stated that it’s “taken the opportunity to slightly adjust shotguns for the Crucible.” Shotguns will still remain powerful in the Crucible, but they won’t be able to one-shot kill from the same ranges as before. Bungie stated that the goal for these changes is to create more viable shotguns in PvE play.īefore, it was inconceivable to take anything other than a rapid-fire shotgun like the IKELOS or the Threat Detector into a PvE activity - the faster it fired, the more damage it put out. But Bungie’s goal isn’t to cut shotguns from the meta - quite the opposite. Shotguns have had their base damage decreased in some cases to compensate. Rapid-fire shotguns are down to 140 RPM from 200 RPM. Lightweight shotguns are now 80 RPM - they were previously classified as 90 RPM, which was incorrect. Precision shotguns are up from 55 RPM to 70 RPM. Aggressive shotguns are up from 45 RPM to 55 RPM. The firing rates of other shotguns are being adjusted as well. Shotguns with Full Auto will now only see an increase of 10 percent bonus firing rate, down from 100 percent. Yet, the rate of fire - how many rounds they fire per minute, or RPM - of the most popular shotguns will decrease. In all PvE activities, shotguns will now deal double damage (except the exotic heavy shotgun, Legend of Acrius). On March 5, they’ll see some significant changes. Shotguns have been a cornerstone of players’ loadouts since the original Destiny - with a brief hiatus in Destiny 2 Year 1. Gambit will be seeing some interesting changes, but the most impactful updates are coming to some of the game’s guns - namely shotguns. In this week’s This Week at Bungie, Bungie’s weekly blog, the studio announced some big changes coming to Destiny 2 in Season of the Drifter.
