Destiny 2 players plead for Bungie to buff forgotten exotic for GMs The Destiny 2 community has made a plea to Bungie to buff the often-forgotten Exotic Hand Cannon, Eriana\u2019s Vow, especially in GM content. Unfortunately, due to the nature of metas, some guns in Destiny 2 are going to be more valuable than others. If there\u2019s a top of the meta, by its nature, it suggests that there\u2019s a bottom. Because of this, there are always going to be weapons in Destiny that don\u2019t see a lot of play. Especially in Grandmaster Nightfalls, while they require specific loadouts, some superstar options exist for dealing with difficult Champions. For example, Wish-Ender is an excellent option for Anti-Barrier Champions, and it uses primary ammo. This means you won\u2019t get in a situation where you can\u2019t deal with a Champion because you\u2019re out of Special ammo. Even before Wish-Ender\u2019s reign, Arbalest had eaten up the slot, muscling out other options in the Anti-Barrier category. That\u2019s why the community is asking for an old favorite super-powered Hand Cannon from Shadowkeep to get a buff. Eriana\u2019s Vow is in dire need of help in the meta In a Reddit thread with over 1.2k upvotes, user HolderOfAshes said, \u201cIf Wish Ender can kill a GM Champion Barrier in one shot then there\u2019s no reason why Eriana\u2019s can\u2019t either.\u201d They argue that the Hand Cannon has lost its utility, the thing that used to make it good, its intrinsic Anti-Barrier perk, has now been given to too many other weapons. To up its usefulness, players are asking for Eriana\u2019s Vow to be able to one shot barriers on Champions. One commenter concurred saying, \u201cWhen a primary will one-shot, the other special will too and buff it\u2019s own damage on follow-up shots, they either need to buff it or give it a different niche.\u201d A user made an interesting suggestion as to what could improve it, saying, \u201cEriana\u2019s Vow should cause an ignition on breaking any shield.\u201d As ever, it\u2019s impossible for every gun to be great at all times in Destiny 2. By bringing everything up to the top level, power creep quickly sets in and can become a big issue. That said, it would be great for the unique Hand Cannon to have another day in the sun soon. Here\u2019s hoping it gets a buff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
