Destiny February Update to counter the Shotgun Power

Through his weekly blog, Bungie revealed that in mid-February will come a new update for Destiny: Rise of Iron, which aims to bring balance to the Crucible.

By the time the update has not 2.5.0.2 patch notes, but Bungie Senior Designer, Josh Hamrick, said part of the goals they plan to achieve with this update.

Sandbox and Crucible designers have been investigating and updating the competitive ecosystem, and I am proud to say that we are getting very close. Through experimentation and near daily battles to the (digital) death, we have begun to home in on a set of changes that we believe freshens things up.

Without further ado, I give you our “Fairly Vague Mysterious Overview.”

GOALS:

1. Promote alternatives and counters to Shotguns

2. Align potency of Primary Weapons with surgical changes

3. File down a couple of issues from each class

4. Fix some issues with a sampler platter of Exotics

5. Supporting adjustments to Special Ammunition

We realize you thirst for facts and details. I hope that these snippets of information will at least tide you over until we can tell you more…
