Analysis Leave a comment

Published on: Sep 8, 2015 @ 16:05 We left off with changes to weapon perks, but now it’s time to take a look at what you were all anxious for: Exotics. For the most part, Bungie has followed through with their original aims for Exotic redesigns. We’ll be sure to give your our honest and thorough take on what it means for their viability. For the sake of consistency, we can only consider Y1 PvE/PvP content at this time. So keep in mind that Y2 redesigns could change any number of variables that render any analysis moot.
