Destiny 2 patch accidentally nerfed fan-favorite exotic BungieThe August 6 patch for Destiny 2 accidentally nerfed the Graviton Lance, and there\u2019s no set date for when players can expect a fix. Beloved among players for its damage output and black hole shots, the Graviton Lance continues to undergo balance-related tweaks. Bungie has buffed and nerfed the Exotic Pulse Rifle multiple times, yet the latest change went live by mistake. Destiny 2\u2019s August 6 patch should\u2019ve fixed an issue where Pulse Rifles displayed RPM as 395 instead of 300. The changelog promised such an adjustment would have no impact on weapons outside of visual appearances \u2013 this has since proven incorrect. As spotted by players on Reddit, the update \u201cindirectly nerfed\u201d the Graviton Lance, so the exotic \u201cnow shoots way slower\u201d than it did pre-patch. One person replying to the post lamented, \u201cJust noticed this. It\u2019s awful.\u201d Someone else in the thread added, \u201cnah\u2026 definitely more than a visual fix. you can tell it is a lot slower.\u201d Developers have already addressed the issue in a Twitter\/X post on the official Bungie Help account. However, fans hoping for a quick fix may have to exercise patience, since the team won\u2019t resolve the Graviton Lance glitch until an unspecified \u201cfuture update.\u201d The studio\u2019s message to Destiny 2 players reads as follows, \u201cWe\u2019ve identified an issue where Graviton Lance is firing at a slower rate of fire than intended. This will be addressed in a future update.\u201d Several users in the comments expressed their dissatisfaction with the indefinite wait. Some believe that had the patch incidentally buffed the rifle, a hotfix would\u2019ve gone live right away. Reads one such reply, \u201cThis would have been fixed within hours if it was firing way faster than intended.\u201d Another frustrated player sarcastically wrote, \u201cPlease don\u2019t worry, just keep nerfing the fun out of the game cause that will get more people to play.\u201d Then again, a series of layoffs and cancellations related to Destiny means those still working at Bungie may be prioritizing other things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
