Destiny: Update 2.40 inkl. Change-Log verfügbar

• Kills with this weapon now automatically load a portion of the magazine
• Increased base range (+16%) and stability (+44%)

• Damage over time (which provides location information and health recovery delay)
• Fastest family of Hand Cannon fire rate
• Effectively best in class level range with Send It

• Reduced base range by 25%

• Exotic Perk range bonus reduced by 75% (no longer guarantees maximum shotgun range)
• Increased rate of fire (lowers damage as a secondary effect)

Fitting in with the retune of Sidearms (see below), Dreg’s gets a little bit more love.

• Increased damage by 8%
• Increased magazine size by 3

• Touch of Malice’s self-damage infliction now removes Blessing of Light

This super versatile weapon receives another tool in its kit.

• Added intrinsic perk High Caliber Rounds

I’m going to respect the spirit of the weapon with this one.

• Added intrinsic perk Headseeker

• Decent magazine sizes combined with strong impact provide for strong DPS
• Strong target acquisition and when combined with Hidden Hand can reach the upper echelon normally reserved for lower impact Sniper Rifles (Weyloran’s March)
• Ability to take down a guardian while in their super state
• High body-shot damage with a rate of fire still fast enough that the two tap body-shot is still viable

• Reduced damage on the mid-high impact (1000-Yard Stare family) of Sniper Rifles by 6.95%
  • Mid High impact snipers can no longer reliably kill high armor guardians in super
  • No Land Beyond is not affected by this damage reduction
• Reduced Target Acquisition for LDR 5001/Y-09 Longbow Synthesis to bring in line with other snipers in the same family

• Increased the starting strength for aim deflection (aka Flinch) when players take damage while scoped in from 30% starting to 50% starting
  • With every subsequent hit, the strength of deflection increases until you hit 100% max deflection
• Overall Sniper ADS aim deflection multiplier increased to 1.9x (was 1.85x)

• Fixed an issue where Eirene UI stat bars showed an incorrect rate of fire

Middle rate of fire Autos also received a small damage boost to help with damage falloff, but the resultant damage does not drastically change its time to kill.

• Reduced the maximum magazine size for highest rate of fire Auto Rifle family (all weapons in the Doctrine of Passing family)
• Increased damage to middle rate of fire Autos (1.5%)

With high rate of fire Pulse Rifles being strong contenders in the crucible, we put our lens on the mid and low rate of fire models, nudging them slightly forward while still maintaining Pulses around the three burst kill.

• Increased rate of fire for the Hakke Pulse Rifle Lyudmila-D
• Minor increase (2%) to damage for middle rate of fire family Pulse Rifles (Nirwen’s Mercy)

• Unified damage for all Sidearm types
  • Increased damage for existing Häkke Sidearm families by 3% for lowest rate of fire and 7% for higher rate of fire
  • Decreased damage for non-hitscan Sidearms by 5% for Vestian Dynasty and Queen’s Choice
• Minor extension of damage falloff point for Sidearms across the board (+0.5 meters)
• Minor increase of stability for Sidearms across the board
• Added damage bonus in PvE (20-30% dependent on combatant tier)
• To accommodate two new faster firing Sidearm families releasing in Rise of Iron, all current Sidearm rate of fire bars will be slightly shorter
  • This is so we have more bar space to display rate of fire differentiation
  • Does not change the actual fire rate, just the stat bar representation

• Increased effective range on the explosions for the Cluster Bomb perk
• Grenades and Horseshoes perk activation radius reduced (1.3->1 meters)
  • Truth is not affected by this change

The high rate of fire family of Machine Gun really hits the fantasy when it comes to face melting crowd control weapons. Increasing their DPS will also help them shine in other scenarios as well (i.e. boss battles).

• Increased damage on highest rate of fire Machine Guns (4%)

You will only find small bug fixes for 2.4.0 for this weapon category. However, as a preview to Rise of Iron, newly minted low rate of fire hand cannons have a higher maximum possible range stat, giving players a distinct reason to choose that type of weapon.

• Fixed an issue where the hand cannon Zaouli’s Bane’s rate of Fire stat would display incorrectly
• Fixed an issue where the Taken King Vanguard and Armsday Hand Cannons (Down and Doubt 00-0, Kumakatok HC4) stats would display incorrectly.

Again, only small bug fixes. You can stop making that joke now.

• Accelerated coils correctly reflects damage reduction now on the UI stat bars
  • No change to gameplay effect, UI only
• Fixed an issue where stat bars on Techeun Rage displayed incorrectly

After months of collecting player feedback and analyzing usage data, we decided upon a list of perks that could benefit from a refresh. We also decided to reduce the effectiveness of Unflinching, which otherwise would have negated the aforementioned sniper flinch changes without tradeoff. Finally, classic magazine perks like Armor Piercing Rounds now give additional range bonuses.

• Now activates after 0.5 seconds of crouching
• Added flinch reduction (25%) and increased aim down sights speed by 25%

• Added an extra +5 seconds (15 seconds total) of effect time

• Functional change: melee kills automatically reload a portion of the magazine

• Now increases carried ammo capacity

• Increased activation chance to 25% (from 20%)

• Increased stability and range bonuses by 200% (think of it as a bonus Hammer Forged and Perfect Balance when the perk activates)

• Magazine perks now give range bonuses
  • Removed impact stat bonuses that had no effect on base damage and only on the UI
  • Armor Piercing Rounds: adds +4 range, reduces -4 handling
  • High Caliber Rounds: adds +3 range, reduces -5 handling,
  • Skip Rounds: adds +5 range, reduces -3 handling, adds +5 inventory

• Decreased efficacy of the perk from 25% flinch reduction to 15% flinch reduction

• Possible fix for crash related to special effects triggered by the Firefly perk
