In its latest developer update, Bungie has shared exciting details about weapon adjustments coming to Destiny 2 with The Edge of Fate expansion. The changes focus on revitalizing several exotic weapons that have fallen behind in the current meta, giving players new reasons to dust off these powerful armaments.

As the community eagerly anticipates the expansion's launch, Bungie continues to reveal more about what players can expect through regular blog posts and developer livestreams. Recent showcases have highlighted Destiny 2's new Dark Matter abilities, which promise to revolutionize movement and combat on Kepler. This week's focus shifts to weapon tuning, with particular attention given to exotic firearms that need some love.

The most substantial changes affect the Hierarchy of Needs exotic bow from Spire of the Watcher. Bungie acknowledged this weapon's restrictive playstyle and is implementing several quality-of-life improvements:

  • Any hit now generates Guidance Ring charges (max 3 needed)
  • Ring duration increased to 20 seconds
  • Rings now rotate to face the player
  • All bows can now trigger missiles when firing through allied Guidance Rings

Other notable exotic adjustments include:

Dead Man's Tale

  • Each Cranial Spike stack now grants damage bonus and reloads rounds
  • Maximum 17% damage boost at 5 stacks

The Navigator

  • Gains damage and ammo generation bonuses when user has Woven Mail
  • 25% PvE damage increase, 5% in PvP

Worldline Zero

  • Enhanced Tesseract attack range
  • New chaining mechanic for rapid teleport attacks

Several weapons are receiving intrinsic anti-champion capabilities, reducing reliance on seasonal artifact mods:

  • Anti-Unstoppable: Queenbreaker, Salvation's Grip, Dragon's Breath
  • Anti-Overload: Tractor Cannon, D.A.R.C.I., Two-Tailed Fox
  • Flexible: Conditional Finality (changes based on active element)
