Destiny 2 needs to cut down on useless perks for The Final Shape BungieThe pool of undesirable perks in Destiny 2 has grown exponentially over the years, and players are beginning to question their place in the sandbox. The chase for a perfect weapon roll has always been at the core of Bungie\u2019s looter shooter but doing so has become increasingly difficult due to perk bloat. With more options comes less chance for Guardians to find loot with best-in-slot winners like Bait and Switch or other heavily meta perks. The introduction of Onslaught as part of Into The Light last month hasn\u2019t exacerbated the issue, but the chase for those shiny new Brave weapons has absolutely renewed debate. Invisible Hand has become a particular pain point, with one player singling out the perk\u2019s function (or lack thereof) over on the Destiny subreddit. User Spikehiyashi6 posted, \u201cIs this an April Fools\u2019 perk? Miss MULTIPLE shots in order to get +25 stability for one second? How is this even remotely useful?\u201d Invisible Hand has faced stiff derision ever since its introduction in Season of the Deep. Granting bonus stability for a minuscule window after failing to land hits isn\u2019t great. It\u2019s currently only available on four weapons, Kept Confidence, Rapacious Appetite, Different Times and Targeted Redcation so it\u2019s not a wide spread problem, but all of those weapons likely would benefit from better perk choice there. However, even when it is working, players have had trouble activating the perk. \u201cI honestly was struggling to proc it, unless I tried to miss my target intentionally\u201d, one player claimed, adding \u201cEven if it procs, it\u2019s barely noticeable. Expectedly, the criticism triggered others to jump on the bandwagon to share their own list of perks perceived to have little use. \u201cSlickdraw I could see being great on a shotgun at least, although it is a gimped version of Quickdraw\u201d, added one user, with Adrenaline Junkie also being thrown under the bus. \u201cAdrenaline Junkie can pretty much always have a better perk in its slot.\u201d As with every expansion before it, The Final Shape will be accompanied by its own fresh set of perks and Exotics. Some of these are bound to be better than others, potentially prolonging the loot grind even further. Bungie removing the ability to farm Limited Edition Brave weapons with the DLC could result in a double whammy of unsatisfying loot. After the nightmare of trying to snag a Mountaintop with Auto-Loading Holster and Recombination in Onslaught, here\u2019s hoping The Final Shape throws Guardians a bone when it lands on June 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
