Still Hunt joined Destiny 2 as a brand-new exotic sniper rifle alongside The Final Shape\u2018s June 2024 release. Most interesting is the Cayde\u2019s Retribution perk, which lets Still Hunt users fire off multiple Golden Gun shots when its Super Bar is charged up. Hunters who donned the Celestial Nighthawk helmet had no trouble dominating with the weapon in hand, resulting in Bungie\u2019s initial damage nerf announcement. In a July 22 Reddit post, the developer noted that a \u201cslightly larger reduction in Golden Gun damage was required to bring this Exotic pairing into line with other classes.\u201d Thus, Destiny 2 8.0.0.8 reduces the Still Hunt\u2019s Golden Gun damage by 33 percent when Celestial Nighthawk\u2019s in use. The new update also removes the Point-Contact Cannon Brace\u2019s accidental lightning strikes that previously spawned on unintended melee attacks. Patch notes for Destiny 2\u2019s July 23 update The release notes for Destiny 2\u2019s 8.0.0.8 patch read as follows: Gameplay and Investment Weapons Reduced Still Hunt\u2019s Golden Gun damage while using Celestial Nighthawk by 33%. &#8211; Armor Fixed an issue where Point-Contact Cannon Brace could spawn lightning strikes on unintended melees. &#8211; Artifact Fixed an issue where Sniper\u2019s Meditation was buffing Still Hunt\u2019s Golden Gun shots. &#8211; Seasonal Activity Fixed an issue where finishing the Breach Executable Weekly Challenge would not complete the Aggressive Exploration 1 Seasonal Challenge. &#8211; Quests Fixed an issue where the Ghost Tracker message on Micah-10 would not properly be removed after all quests had been provided. &#8211; Guardian Ranks and Journey Screen Fixed an issue where the Transcendent and Iconoclast titles weren\u2019t counting toward Guardian Rank requirements. &#8211; General Fixed an issue where the Strange Favor buff from X\u00fbr was not providing bonus Strange Coins when completing ritual activities. &#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 July 23 patch notes: Still Hunt\u2019s Golden Gun nerfs and bug fixes BungiePatch notes for Destiny 2\u2019s 8.0.0.8 patch detail the previously planned Still Hunt\u2019s Golden Gun nerfs, Point-Contact Cannon Brace changes, and more.
