Change is on the horizon for Destiny 2, as a mid-season patch will tweak several weapon archetypes and fine-tune some of the game’s Exotics. Right now, Bungie has Graviton Lance, No Time to Explain, and Fighting Lion prepped for an update, one that’ll scale back the effectiveness of these weapons in certain scenarios.
Graviton Lance received a major overhaul–alongside several other Exotics–this season, shifting its design to provide a more even spread of damage across its two-tap build. “While it is nice to see that Graviton Lance has been returned to glory after a long hiatus, at its current strength the gun is too easy to use for how rewarding it can be, and the Cosmology explosion pushes it too close to ‘primary ammo Cloudstrike’ for comfort,” Bungie explained.
Later this season, Graviton Lance will be buffed to be better in PvE, but its catalyst Cosmology explosion will do reduced damage against Guardians and have less aim assist to rely on. Another Exotic pulse rifle, No Time to Explain, is getting a small nerf to prevent it from usurping Graviton Lance’s position in this weapon archetype’s hierarchy. Players can expect a reduced range stat of 10 with this weapon once the update goes live.
