Destiny 2 Prepares for Renegades Launch With Major Exotic Weapon Buffs
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Bungie has revealed major PvE buffs for iconic exotic weapons like Ace of Spades, Hawkmoon, and Osteo Striga as part of its upcoming Destiny 2 Renegades expansion.
Bungie is offering players an early look at what to expect from the sandbox in the upcoming Renegades expansion. As reported by Game Rant, the studio kicked off a three-part developer insight series detailing sweeping weapon tuning changes, ammo system adjustments, and substantial buffs for several underutilized exotic weapons. The upcoming update arrives as the community looks for a revitalization amid declining player counts and recent adjustments to core gameplay features, such as the total removal of Unstable Cores to streamline the overall experience.
Among the standout adjustments are major improvements to fan favorite exotics in PvE content. Cayde-6's iconic Ace of Spades is receiving a significant damage boost to its Memento Mori perk, jumping from 18 percent to 30 percent, alongside increased explosive range for Firefly. Hawkmoon is also getting a much needed boost to its Paracausal Charge damage, while the Osteo Striga submachine gun will see the cooldown on its poison burst cut in half from four seconds to two seconds, making crowd control viable again for high tier activities.
These weapon tweaks are paired with broader structural changes arriving in the Star Wars inspired expansion, including the introduction of a new Orders system designed to replace traditional bounties and seasonal challenges. For a community navigating a transitional era for the shooter, these targeted buffs and quality of life updates aim to restore the power fantasy that defined the game's best moments.
