A brand new hotfix touchdown in Destiny 2 Lightfall on March 23 goes to handle a serious problem that is been inflicting gamers grief because the begin of the most recent growth’s launch: lastly, Cabal Thresher harm output goes to be nerfed.
Why is that this vital? First, a historical past lesson. With the launch of Lightfall, the Cabal airships bought an enormous improve. Ever since we first stepped foot on Neomuna and began experimenting with Strand powers, the pesky airships started firing missiles that may obliterate you in a single shot. Often from throughout the map. There’s little recourse when a Thresher cannon pops a blast at you, both; it can observe round corners, and even by means of doorways on occaision. Given that they spawn, regularly, on new Patrol location Neomuna, they have been the bane of many a Guardian for weeks now.
It’s much more egregious within the Nightfalls or Battlegrounds missions which have been given a makeover recently. As properly as being more durable on the whole (a change I’m right here for, for what it is value), Guardians are additionally having to cope with Threshers which are outputting harm at manner above the supposed price. Getting one-shot by a cannon to the face whenever you’re attempting to accrue 200k Lightfall rating on Legend is the antithesis of enjoyable, Bungie.
But why has this been taking place? It’s tied to border price, oddly. Incoming harm from some soures relies in your FPS rely, and the upper the FPS rely, the extra harm you are taking. The cause that Threshers can kill you so simply is as a result of their harm is tied to your framerate – a long-standing problem Bungie has been aaware of for fairly a while now. The problem has plagued different (now fastened) sources of harm like Cabal Slugs and Shrieker Projectiles, however stays on others (like Taken Fire).
But alas! Bungie has listened! In a tweet issued late Wednesday night (UK time), the developer famous that – in an replace on account of drop on March 23 – Threshers will not be fairly as deadly.
“We know these Threshers had been somewhat spicy, however you are able to do no matter you set your thoughts to, together with not dying to Threshers, with tomorrow’s hotfix,” says the tweet. “Don’t let these desires be desires.”
The textual content taken from the changelog and captured within the tweet reads: ‘Fixed a difficulty the place Cabal Threshers had been doing extra harm than supposed’. Rejoice!
It stays to be seen what else is included within the changelog, however I’m happy to see this problem taking precedence – here is hoping you will not get popped off the map by some dumb cannon whenever you’re midway by means of your Exotic public occasion encounter as of tomorrow. Cheers Bungie.
