With next week’s majorDestiny 2update, developer Bungie promises a variety of changes and improvements that should go a long way towards supporting different play styles. One of the key ways Bungie plans to do this is bybuffing a number of the game’s supersto make them more viable in PvE and PvP. And to illustrate that point Bungie has released a new video showing off the “revamped” Golden Gun super in action.
While Golden Gun has been a somewhat viable super in PvP, it’s utility in PvE is marginal without theCelestial Nighthawk exotic helmet. However, Bungie is giving the super a major buff that allows players to recoup a bullet on any Golden Gun kill, thereby extending its use.
In the video below,Destiny 2fans can see how much larger the Golden Gun lasts and how many more enemies it can eliminate thanks to this change. It might not put Gunslinger on the same level of Sunbreakers or Nova Warp when it comes to add clear, but it at least helps the subclass compete. Not to mention, Bungie is buffing the damage of both Golden Gun supers, either the three-shot or the six-shooter.
Golden Gun isn’t the only super getting a buff but this appears to be the easiest for Bungie to show off how things are improving for the better. Almost everyDestiny 2super is getting a damage buff and a few of them are getting slight nerfs to dial back their power. Specifically,Nova Warpand Blade Barrage are going to lose some strength, as both have become extremely strong, especially in PvP.
It has been some time since Bungie has made any meaningful changes to balance inDestiny 2, but it appears that players will finally get an update that helps make the game feel different, even if ever so slightly. While supers are getting a lot of the attention,several weapon classes like grenade launcherswill also receive buffs and nerfs to help fill out the viable options available to players.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
