Bungie has actually published the weekly Today at Bungie article and in it they detail several of the upcoming sandbox adjustments being available in Beyond Light, especially relating to the tool sandbox. These consist of some enthusiasts, some nerfs, and also some major changes to hand cannons.
This week, our emphasis changes to the tools in your toolbox. Just like our mods preview, we have a collection of patch notes accompanied by programmer commentary. Alright, we all set?
Let’& rsquo; s pass the microphone over to the Dev Group for some juicy details.
Dev group: Hey there! Today, we’& rsquo; ll be covering some adjustments to a couple of specific weapons and also weapon family members. For those of you who don’& rsquo; t have much knowledge of our sandbox, each tool has a details “& ldquo; frame & rdquo; that is likewise linked to its affiliated price of fire (RoF). We’& rsquo; ve included both of these awhile of clearness, as several gamers default to RoF when talking about numerous weapons. As an instance, “& ldquo; Aggressive & rdquo; Hand Cannons currently have a RoF of 110 rounds per min.
Hand Cannons: We’& rsquo; re making changes to provide hand cannon subfamilies much more variety, and also more factors to use each.
- Hostile.
- Increased RoF from 110 to 120.
- Broke out Aggressive Hand Cannons, permitting personalized tuning of statistics (e.g. damage falloff for 100 variety in this subfamily currently starts at 32m).
- Flexible and Accuracy.
- Range stat currently has even more effect on minimal damage falloff range for both archetypes.
- Damage falloff for 100 variety currently starts at 25m, was 20m.
- Precision Hand Cannon.
- ( 180 RoF) magazine scaled up by 37 percent.
- Note: This also influences Exotics with that rate of fire.
- Range stat currently has even more effect on minimal damage falloff range for both archetypes.
- Light-weight (folded up in to Adaptive).
- Relocated all Lightweight Hand Cannons (150 RoF) to the Adaptive subfamily (140 RoF).
- This includes Luna’& rsquo; s Howl and also Not Forgotten.
- One Exotic Hand Cannon will retain 150 ROF.
- We aren’& rsquo; t going to leave it to speculation.
- It’& rsquo; s gorgeous.
- It does solar damages.
- It makes opponents explode.
- It’& rsquo; s Sunshot.
- Relocated all Lightweight Hand Cannons (150 RoF) to the Adaptive subfamily (140 RoF).
Right now, Lightweight (150 ROF) Hand Cannons represent the majority of Hand Cannon usage in the Crucible. While we experimented with several methods to even out Lightweights (150 ROF) as well as Adaptives (140 ROF), Light-weight Hand Cannons regularly retained a faster inactivity (TTK). Thus, we chose to adjust their ROF.
We chose 140 ROF as it is fairly stabilized in the Crucible sandbox. It offers other weapon archetypes more time to breath between shots, avoids an excess of Hand Cannons with faster TTK than various other weapons, and sets nicely with upcoming adjustments to 600 ROF Automobile Rifles (a lot more on that listed below).
Sniper Rifles: We want Sniper Rifles to really feel effective, without being so simple to use that they control.
- Adjusted how aim aid (AA) is influenced by Sniper Rifle zoom degree. Reduced zoom ranges have less AA, greater zoom ranges have a lot more, scopes with around 50 zoom are unmodified.
- Lowest-zoom scopes have a huge reduction in AA cone angle.
- Highest-zoom scopes have a small rise.
Automobile Rifles: In Season of the Deserving, the Adaptive archetype (600 RoF) was given an enthusiast. We’& rsquo; re drawing that back a little to keep it in check with various other Auto Rifle archetypes.
- Adaptive.
- Damage per bullet reduced from 15.75 to 14.25.
- Note: Before Period of the Worthy, damage per bullet was 13.75.
Precursor Rifles: Scouts have a reasonable time to kill (TTK) and can’& rsquo; t be changed too much without making them control the battlefield, so we’& rsquo; re making them a little simpler to make use of.
- Boosted just how much each factor of the AA stat widens the AA cone.
- At maximum, the AA cone is now 15 percent broader.
Rocket Launchers: These Heavy tools currently have very reduced books, so we’& rsquo; re adjusting that. We expect to rethink at Rocket Launchers in a future Period.
- Enhanced gets by 1 or 2 rockets depending on Stock stat.
General: The complying with is a checklist of surgical modifications for choose tools based upon gamer feedback. A few of these adjustments apply to weapons that are a little too far in advance of other alternatives while others apply little enthusiasts to enhance the weapon’& rsquo; s performance.
- Perks.
- Hooligan –– The reload speed boost felt not enough with particular subfamilies and mixes of rolls (e.g. Hostile Hand Cannons).
- Raised reload stat bonus offer from +50 to +70.
- Hooligan –– The reload speed boost felt not enough with particular subfamilies and mixes of rolls (e.g. Hostile Hand Cannons).
- Ruthless.
- Raised stock stat from 36 to 55 (this boosts book ammunition).
- Mountaintop.
- We’& rsquo; ve had a ton of comments that Mountaintop feels a little bit over the top in Crucible settings. This Pinnacle weapon has had adequate time to shine, so we’& rsquo; re taking it down a notch.
- Details discomfort factors:.
- A one-shot body shot with limitless range.
- Quick as well as easy cleaning of injured Guardians, also around corners.
- Deals high splash damages, fulfilling players for mistake.
- Perfect in-air accuracy allows airborne Guardians to rain down fatality, as well as there’& rsquo; s very little based Guardians can do to react.
- Right here are the modifications meant to resolve those points:.
- Decreased dash damage by 33 percent, raised effect damage such that complete damages is 5 percent lower than before.
- Lowered projectile speed multiplier from the Micro-Missile perk from 1.4 to 1.2. (i.e., now 20 percent quicker than various other breech Grenade Launchers rather than 40 percent).
- Lowered in-air precision. Currently has substantial projectile mistake while in-air (around 7 degrees without the Icarus Grip mod, considerably less with).
- Dropping Guillotine.
- Decreased hefty assault damages by ~ 24 percent to generate line with various other Swords.
- Keep In Mind: Falling Guillotine will certainly remain to be a little above average, simply not to the degree that it is now.
- MIDA Multi-Tool and MIDA Mini-Tool.
- MIDA Mini-Tool.
- Relocated the “& ldquo; Mida Synergy & rdquo; characteristic to the intrinsic, similar to exactly how the (Baroque) variation functions
- Added the complying with advantages:.
- Hip-Fire Hold
- Kill Clip
- NOTE: There is an issue with the masterwork on this weapon that avoids it from being updated. This will be taken care of in a later upgrade.

- Arbalest.
- No more strikes shields several times, however its efficacy versus shielded targets has been increased.
- Jade Rabbit.
- Shield Piercing Rounds exchanged to High Quality Beats.
- This solutions an issue that could protect against the unique perk from activating.
Several of these changes look pretty large, and we’& rsquo; re eagerly anticipating seeing your responses. When initially listening to that Aggressive Hand Cannons would certainly be shifted to120 RPM, I wondered if it would certainly be enough to press them right into the hands of my Guardian. I can safely claim after many playtests, I have a bunch of brand-new preferred Hand Cannons that have actually been waiting on their time to beam.
Smith’& rsquo; s Sentiment: Couple of things working backwards; Jade Bunny change will fix the exotic perk and likewise make the gun much better, specifically in PvP. I will certainly take High Cal over Shield Piercing any day of the week on a Scout in PvP. Arbalest isn’& rsquo; t’being nerfed, it & rsquo; s having an insect taken care of and is being given a slight buff to make up for repairing stated insect. I don’& rsquo; t truly know why Crippling Effigy requires a nerf, however whatever.
So the hand cannon adjustments audio fantastic. I wouldn’& rsquo; t have taken into consideration transforming 110’& rsquo; s to be 120 & rsquo; s, however merging 150’& rsquo; s right into 140 & rsquo; s is a desire I & rsquo; ve had for some time as well as I & rsquo; m thrilled to see it ultimately happen. The 150’& rsquo; s were the meta, since they eliminated quicker, however on console I’& rsquo; ve constantly liked the feel of a 140 over a 150. The mag boost for 180’& rsquo; s was likewise seriously required. All things thought about, I such as every one of these adjustments on paper a large amount and also there’& rsquo; s some quickly to be 120 & rsquo; s as well as 180 & rsquo; s that I anticipate using particularly in PvE.
With any luck the change to Mini-Tool and Drang suggest that they are obtaining new variations, which I already presumed they would. Simply give me a means to farm Drang, since I will certainly miss my Baroque in PvP.
Falling Guillotine nerf was expected, and I wear’& rsquo; t assume it & rsquo; ll
be that poor. Author Gary is Proprietor
