Destiny 2 players want nerfed weapon class reverted back to its prime Reflecting on the current state of Swords in Destiny 2, players are pushing Bungie to revert a previously fan-favorite weapon class to its meta glory days. It seems hard to believe but there was a time when Swords dominated Destiny 2\u2019s meta. More specifically, Vortex Frame Swords combined with a Witherhoard offered the best damage potential of any Weapon combination in Season of Arrivals. However, this frame was heavily nerfed by Season 14 with both the seasonal artifact long gone and both its damage and ammo reduced. These changes saw once-meta Swords like Falling Guillotine slip into obscurity. Nine Seasons and an entire Sword rework down the line and most Swords remain an unpopular choice amongst Guardians pushing them to call for change. Destiny 2 players want Swords back in the meta A Reddit post pushing for Swords to get reverted to a prior state asked Bungie: \u201cCan we undo the sword nerfs from around beyond light?\u201d before elaborating \u201cVortex frames were busted when they released, but now they do less dps and lower total damage than adaptive.\u201d Believing the old Vortex Frame Swords wouldn\u2019t be problematic anymore, the post continues: \u201cWith how far other damage options have come, whirlwind blades pre nerf version would be far from op. It doesn\u2019t stand a chance against apex predator.\u201d \u201cLaments also falling behind, it\u2019s debatably worse than bequest, which is really only used on crota\u2026 Swords should be a lot better than they are, they just aren\u2019t worth the risk and situational requirment when things like apex predator exist,\u201d OP concluded making their case. Several other players agreed wanting to see Vortex Frame Swords return with one reply stating: \u201cThe most fun I have ever had in this game was the sword meta in arrivals\u201d \u201cI miss old Lucent Blade. Elemental Shards + Supercharged on Behemoth was \ud83e\udd75I just miss the old system in general\u2026 it was much more interesting,\u201d another Guardian explained also wanting to see Swords back in the meta. Thinking back on how good Swords were in Season of Arrivals, another person commented: \u201cI wish. Caster Frame swords were actually good. They use up too much ammo for range but then the damage isn\u2019t even good\u201d While Swords aren\u2019t in the best place right now Vortex Frames are a little underrated. A crafted Death\u2019s Razor with Relentless Strikes + Surrounded is surprisingly powerful and worth trying out. Equally, Exotic Swords like The Lament and Bequest can hold their own even in harder content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
