In Destiny 2 celebrates the 30th anniversary of Bungie soon. On this occasion, some old and new exotics will be modified or nerfed. We at MeinMMO will show you which weapons have been affected and which will benefit from these changes.
What kind of weapons are these? This is a broad mix of exotic weapons. A certain classic is being resurrected from its grave. The Wispern of the Wurm is getting a new coat of paint, which could potentially place it more prominently in the PvE meta.
