Destiny 2 Exotic weapon\u2019s stealth buff makes it \u201cbetter than ever before\u201d A stealth buff to an underrated Exotic weapon has seen it rise in the meta and become one of the best options in Destiny 2, with Aztecross describing it as \u201cbetter than ever before.\u201d Destiny 2 is not short on Exotics that players can use to build and find their own fun in the looter shooter\u2019s vast sandbox. Some of these are meta-defining Exotic weapons while others need a buff or two before being worth using. While most weapon changes are listed in TWIDs and are easy enough to track that isn\u2019t always the case. Bungie has been known to occasionally stealth buff or nerf both weapons and armor alike. That\u2019s exactly what has happened with a popular Solar Exotic weapon which is currently outputting its most impressive DPS numbers ever following a massive stealth buff. Destiny 2 Exotic Tommy\u2019s Matchbook given Ignition stealth buff In a breakdown video posted by Aztecross, the leading Destiny 2 content creator tested Tommy\u2019s Matchbook and concluded that it has been significantly stealth-buffed. Comparing Ignition damage values between Season 21 and Season 23 against Shayotet Partisan, better known as Carl, Aztecross found the following results: Season 21 Ignition damage: 17,087 – Season 23 Ignition damage: 42,717 – This represents a 150% buff to Ignition damage which Tommy\u2019s Matchbook can trigger twice per magazine. It\u2019s possible to reliably increase this to three times per magazine if the Kindling Trigger and Flint Striker artifact mods are both equipped. Praising the Exotic Auto Rifle, Aztecross expressed, \u201cTommy\u2019s Matchbook is better than ever before. And no, it\u2019s not just the Artifact Mods that are enhancing Tommy\u2019s Matchbook although yes that does help.\u201d Elaborating further Aztecross continued, \u201cBungie stealth buffed this Auto Rifle. I\u2019m not sure when it happened but its Ignition damage is hitting much higher.\u201d Although Tommy\u2019s Matchbook is now an excellent weapon it does overheat and damage the user potentially leaving them vulnerable in higher-end content. This can be mitigated by obtaining its catalyst and hip-firing but it\u2019s still a significant con of this Exotic that Guardians need to be aware of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
