Bungie recently released a Developer Insights article discussing the Destiny 2 Exotic Weapon Balancing for Season 22. With some buffs, nerfs, and some adjustments, this is sure to shake things up.
Exotic Weapon Balancing in Season 22
Below is a list of all the changes announced to Exotic weapons in Destiny 2, on the launch of Season 22:
Exotic Weapon changes are often massive shakeups in the meta equipment that are desired for all levels of gameplay. Some changes are outright nerfs to overly potent armor or specific builds while some are massive buffs to increase the usage in an otherwise lack luster exotic. Regardless, its sure to bring more builds to light and decrease usage of certain overpowered builds.
