As an exotic scout rifle, the Fang of Ir Yut isn\u2019t exactly a common weapon in Destiny. Players can only pick it up as random loot in Crota\u2019s End, after all. But the rifle\u2019s rarity explains why players have grown concerned by its potential efficacy in PvP matches. Over the weekend, content creator illPhysics addressed why some Destiny 2 players in Trials of Osiris may have felt as though they were \u201cgetting deleted\u201d by Guardians wielding a Fang of Ir Yut scout rifle with Precision Instrument. As IllPhysics\u2019 findings show, anyone going against this setup at Resilience Tier 9 or under will face an opponent whose time-to-kill sits at 0.7 seconds. Another Destiny 2 content creator, MattGoesBuck, demonstrated the unusually fast TTK in the following gameplay video: The Fang of Ir Yut isn\u2019t the only scout rifle that Destiny 2 players are side-eyeing, either. One person noted in response to MattGoesBuck\u2019s tweet that the \u201cHung Jury with Box Breathing is slightly faster, and slightly farther.\u201d Notably, concerns about what such a quick TTK may mean for the PvP meta aren\u2019t only centered on the here and now. Destiny 2 developers previously confirmed the 7.3.6 update arriving on April 9 will include a 2% base damage buff to all rapid-fire scout rifles like the Fang of Ir Yut. Players won\u2019t know how much of a difference the damage increase will make until the patch goes live. Still, it\u2019s clear that some already expect the worst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players fear next update will make rare scout rifle OP BungieDestiny 2 players think the Fang of Ir Yut scout rifle is becoming too overpowered, especially with update 7.3.6 set to introduce damage buffs.
