Izanagi’s Burden
Since the removal of auto-reload effects from Rally Barricade and Lunafaction Boots, as well as the introduction of a catalyst for Izanagi’s Burden, it’s seen a significant uptick in use. Izanagi’s Burden solidified itself within the majority of endgame builds due to its excellent burst damage, sustained damage, ammo economy due to Special ammo, and safety due to being a Sniper Rifle. The Outlaw trait was swapped out for No Distractions to be more in-line with the fantasy of the weapon and to ensure the trait on the weapon would still work with Honed Edge.
The animation speed of Honed Edge is no longer affected by the reload stat
Outlaw has been replaced with No Distractions
Sniper Rifles
We gave Sniper Rifles an increase in PvE damage back in Shadowkeep. We’re removing that change for a few reasons. Sniper Rifles have a lot of utility and safety due to their range and the increased damage was giving them too much of a leg-up on their closer range counterparts. That gulf only widens as the difficulty of any given encounter goes up. The direct changes to Adaptive and Rapid-Fire Snipers were to make the differences in the sub-archetypes more impactful again as well as to give some amount of parity with the adjustments to Shotguns and Fusion Rifles.
Damage to Major enemies and above have been reduced to pre Shadowkeep values (~-20%).
Adaptive Snipers precision multiplier has been reduced from 3.25x to 2.95x.
Rapid-Fire Snipers base impact has been reduced from 100 damage to 90 damage.
Grenade Launchers
Through a combination of archetype adjustments and new perks being introduced, Grenade Launchers have been quite powerful ever since Season of the Drifter. We’ve changed the Aggressive frame sub-archetype to the Rapid-Fire sub-archetype to be more in line with other weapon’s established conventions and slightly reduced their effectiveness on Powerful enemies to give other weapons some more breathing room.
Aggressive Frame grenade launchers are now Rapid-Fire Frame Grenade Launchers.
Rapid-Fire Frame Grenade Launchers have had their damage reduced to account for their Rate of Fire (0.8x), but now also have increased reserves.
Previously, Aggressive Frame Grenade Launchers fired faster than Adaptive but had the same damage.
Damage to Major enemies and above by Power weapon Grenade Launchers reduced by ~10%.
The Last Word
When reintroduced in Season of the Forge, The Last Word became quite dominant due to its extremely forgiving maximum time-to-kill (TTK). We’re adjusting the way the weapon works to focus it back as a hip-fire based weapon while also improving that side of the experience for both controller and mouse and keyboard inputs. We also made it a little less forgiving so that you still have to concentrate on your aim while wielding the weapon.
Fan Fire now adjusts the precision scalar while hip-firing.
Fan Fire impact values have been adjusted.
Precision Hip/ADS adjusted from 67.95/67.95 to 68.27/52.2.
Non-Precision Hip/ADS adjusted from 50.01/50.01 to 38/38.
Aiming down sights no longer provides additional effective range (damage falloff).
Reduced stability for Mouse and Keyboard input.
Reduced the effective range.
To improve the experience, adjusted the way target acquisition is handled while hip-firing.
