Analyzing the Subclass Changes

Analysis Leave a comment

2.3 introduced a slew of changes to how Destiny’s weapons and subclasses will perform in both PvP and PvE. While tweaks to weapons are nothing new, Bungie has rarely intervened to change how a subclass performs, with the Sunbreaker’s Super being one of the rare exceptions. For this reason, it will be interesting to see how these balances play out across each meta, especially in concert with the changes to weapon classes. In this article, we’ll give you the rundown on which subclass changes we feel were inspired – and which ones leave us scratching our heads. [divider] Hunters Gunslinger

[divider] Allan Lee, a character artist at Bungie, has been posting up full armor sets he designed for the Rise of Iron expansion on his ArtStation profile. So far he has released the Ironlord Warlock armor set and the SIVA Titan armor set – we hope to see the Warmind themed Hunter Armor soon! A seasoned artist with around 12 years of experience in the industry, he has previously worked on several published and cancelled games but will probably be best known before now for his time spent as a Senior Character Artist on Defiance, the 3rd person persistent world

2.3 Patch Notes – Weapon Changes

Original Leave a comment

These patch notes can also be found at Bungie.net [divider] Hand Cannons After a shot has been fired from a weapon in Destiny, there is a short period where accuracy drops to simulate how weapon recoil affects re-acquiring a target. This helps dissuade players from spamming the trigger and emphasizes precise aiming. The degree of accuracy drop is controlled by the Range stat per archetype. Because of the increased importance of landing every shot, this effect is especially heightened on Hand Cannons. It is our intention to reduce the necessity of rolling range perks on Hand Cannons in order for
