Destiny 2 Update Nerfs Linear Fusion Rifles

This week’s hotfix in Destiny 2 repairs shaders, changes linear fusion rifles, and fixes a seasonal challenge. The patch notes clarify the exact fixes and adjustments, which constitute a nerf for the high powered rifles.

The most significant element of the patch alters linear fusion rifles. When players wielding linear fusion rifles are hit by enemy players, they will suffer an increased flinch effect. Additionally, players will take 60% longer to settle after a flinch, similar to a recent change applied to sniper rifles. In brief, this is a nerf that makes it harder to recover and aim after being shot. There have also been changes to specific models of linear fusion rifles. The aim assist cones on the Arbalest and Lorentz Driver were reduced by 35%. These balance adjustments were originally meant to launch with Season 19, but Bungie fast tracked them to this hotfix. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

In other smaller changes, the patch fixes an issue where some shaders applied textures incorrectly to Festival of the Lost-themed armor ornaments. The Intended Authority Seasonal Challenge now shows the correct reward, which is the Psychic Warfare emblem.

Bungie Help also noted on Twitter that some PS5 users are unable to download the hotfix. The account promised updates when there is more information to share.
