Edge Magazine has recently revealed some brand new information about Destiny 2's weapons, and Reddit user aslak1899 has been kind enough to share quotes from director Luke Smith about what's changing.
"Imagine the conversation you're going to have when you're about to do the Oracle phase," he says while referring to a section of the game where players must quickly take down spheres of light, and where missing one means instant death, all while dealing with waves of tough enemies. "Who's bringing a sniper rifle? Who's bringing a fusion rifle for the Minotaurs? You're now putting you're now putting those powerful things in conflict with a rocket launcher, which is for AOE wave clearing and can effectively replace something like a Nova Bomb. Well, now, Nova Bomb could be more important, because not everybody's running with a sniper rifle and rocket launcher. What this system does is make player power more predictable, but it also allows Supers, in a number of ways, to shine even brighter in the game."
Another interesting bit of information from Smith concerns grenades, and their upped power. "Grenades now hit like magical, elementally powered trucks, and are no longer solely used for clearing out low-level adds. Chuck one at a boss, and the effect is dramatic," he claims.
Are these changes to your liking?
