Destiny 2 update today: Solstice of Heroes Armour and weapons patch
UPDATE: Bungie has launched its new Destiny 2 Solstice of Heroes event, complete with new armour and weapons. Details on what to expect from the new celebrations can be found below.
ORIGINAL: Lots of changes are being made to Destiny 2 this week, including returning weapons, Vault of Glass Master Difficulty and the Solstice of Heroes.
That’s without mentioning the weapon balance changes being made to several items, including the shotgun.
A message from Bungie explains: “Shotguns are very dominant in PvP by any measure, and don’t allow much counterplay with Primary weapons, particularly close-range Primaries like Sidearms and SMGs.
“We see frequent player feedback about their prevalence in PvP activities and how they make it difficult to use various weapon archetypes that otherwise feel good against players without Shotguns.
“We want them to excel in a narrower niche than they do currently, so this change aims to retain the reliable one-hit elimination, but at closer range, and push them to be slightly rangier than currently at getting two-hit eliminations. As with our intent for all Special weapons, if a player is caught out of position with a Shotgun, they should be at a clear disadvantage.”
