Destiny 2 players demand buffs for \u201cterrible\u201d weapon class that\u2019s no longer used Destiny 2 players are calling for Bungie to buff one of the looter shooter\u2019s weakest weapon types with it having been hit harder by the ammo economy rework than any other class. In Season 22, Bungie reworked Destiny\u2019s ammo economy removing an unintended feature that made Heavy Ammo bricks drop more commonly when using two Special weapons. While this allowed more Primary weapons to enter the PvE meta, it also saw Trace Rifles fall out of favor. The once-popular class of laser beam guns are now hardly used outside of specific builds. These ammo economy changes have had long-lasting effects and now the community is imploring Bungie to buff Trace Rifles. Destiny 2 community calls for Trace Rifle buff Questioning the intended role of the laser guns in Season of the Wish, one Guardian posted on Reddit, \u201cIn a world where double special has been killed off, who is going to pick a Trace Rifle?\u201d Elaborating further they continued, \u201cOther than Cenotaph Warlocks. I\u2019m not advocating for Traces to become big boss melters (except maybe Coldheart\/Super Agers), but they should at least be a strong option to clear adds. At the moment, they are just Auto Rifles with an ammo limit.\u201d Agreeing with the post, the most upvoted comment opens, \u201cTraces really need a buff, especially now that Rocket Sidearms are a thing,\u201d before continuing, \u201cTraces just don\u2019t hit hard enough to deal with big targets, but have too little ammo to burn on trash mobs.\u201d Believing Trace Rifles are currently too niche, another Guardian replied, \u201cThe only tolerable ones are exotics and you have to run double special finders and scav and reserve mods leading to a whole build dedicated to a mediocre weapon.\u201d One of the most scathing responses slammed the laser guns for being \u201creally terrible,\u201d at clearing adds emphasizing how poorly they perform against tankier enemies despite having limited ammo. Bungie has previously stated that Trace Rifles will be receiving their own mini ammo economy rework. However, that isn\u2019t expected until The Final Shape which following its delay won\u2019t be released until June 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
