The quest to get the mega-rad Whisper Of The Worm exotic sniper rifle is now available every day and through every Lost Oasis event, making it less elusive. Yet somehow One-Eyed Mask is still untouched - for now.Ī few nice little touches are in too. Auto rifles, scout rifles, and rapid-fire sniper rifles deal more damage, Telesto is less monstrous in PvP, and. Golden Gun gets a huge damage boost against bosses, Blade Barrage is more consistent but weaker, Nova Bomb gets boosted, Nova Warp gets whacked, and all other supers get touches. In terms of balance, I'm still not sure how it all shakes out in PvE or PvP. I can tell you matches will not go as well as Bungie's video makes out. PvP modes are where it's clearly supposed to live, occupying a mid-range between shotguns and bangier hand cannons, though I've not played with mine enough to have a sense of how good it is yet (and I hear it handles very differently on consoles and PC?). It's a curious gun, a short-range and fast-firing revolver you can even fan at full-auto, with several perks encouraging firing from the hip rather down the sights. I banged those out in an evening, and it's capped with a short but sweet new mission set in a place that's been woefully under-used so far. In short, a big hero used this revolver to hunt naughty men, and we're getting to play with it too.įirst we must complete The Draw, a quest chain involving grinding through various PvE and PvP challenges. The Last Word is known within Destiny for being a monster in the first game, though as the first game didn't come to PC I only know it through the lorelogs where a frustrating amount of Destiny's plot is hidden.
Whichever class you play and however, you'll want to flick through the patch notes to see what's different. Some abilities are toned down, some powered up, and some somehow made even worse, while entire classes of weapons have become more useful. It may be the fancy headline feature, and quietly nudge parts of the story along too, but the update's also notable for a huge number of balance tweaks.
A revered weapon returned in a big Destiny 2 update last night, the honking great hand cannon of legend, The Last Word.
