Worldline Zero – Exotic Sword
Polaris Lance – Exotic Scout Rifle
The Huckleberry – Exotic Submachine Gun
It’s time to fashion game it up!
Exotic Weapon Tuning
Exotic weapons are getting a buff as well. Hopefully no more complaining that so and so exotic weapon is bad hor? Here is a list of expected exotic weapon changes.
Graviton Lance
- Reduced the recoil of the burst
- Added some aim assist
- Changed it’s three round burst to two.
Sturm & Drang
- Both Sturm and Drang have had their base stats improved.
- Drang now has Rampage and a maxed out magazine.
- Sturm magazine: overflow rounds in Sturm now have a damage boost of 1.8x
Skyburner’s Oath
- Added explosive rounds as default
- In ADS, the weapon will perform the same.
- Full auto, slow firing, high impact.
- Hipe fire: slower projectiles at a faster rate of fire that tracks targets and explodes. The tracking functionality tends to draw projectiles to center mass rather than to precision regions, so we reduced the precision scalar a bit and increased damage to the body (precision hits still do bonus damage; and overall DPS is increased).
Rat King
- Now full auto so the increased RoF perks take effect more
- Rat Pack perk now triggers when fireteam members have Rat King slotted as their kinetic weapon, stowed or in hand.
- We also front-loaded the stat benefits of Rat Pack so they increase a bit more drastically with one or two fireteam members—and upped the base invisibility timer of Vermin to seven seconds.
Tractor Cannon
- Tractor Cannon has a debuff that adds suppression and makes the target vulnerable to Void damage for 10 seconds
- The Void vulnerability does not stack with itself, but it does stack with other damage debuffs
Hardlight
- Holding reload on Hard Light will cycle elemental damage types in combat
- Bounced bullets now do double damage
Borealis
- Deals double damage until the next reload or damage type swap after breaking an enemy shield with matching damage type
Risk Runner
- Arc Conductor increased resistance to incoming Arc damage
- Enabled Arc Conducter in PvP
Sweet Business
- Capped ammo inventory of 999
D.A.R.C.I.
- Grants 4x damage once locked on a target
- 7 round magazine, reduced zoom for closer engagements and aim assist stat
New Crucible Maps
If you aren’t going to buy the new expansion, don’t fret. There are still some new stuff that you can get. There are two new Crucible maps that are provided to every player to fight in the Crucible.
Meltdown
- Familiar Mars architecture with futuristic buildings and red sand.
Solitude
- Frozen landscape for Guardians to battle each other.
