Currently, many Guardians are complaining about the new legendary weapons that were added with Season 10 in Destiny 2. All of them would have an annoying weakness that didn’t exist before the Season of Worthy. What is it about?
What is the issue with the weakness? For almost a week now, the Season of Worthy has been running in Destiny 2. And while some Guardians are excited about the return of Trials and the new content of Season 10 – not all Guardians are happy at the moment.
One of the things currently weighing on players is the new legendary weapons that came to Destiny 2 with the current season and Update 2.8.0. It seems that compared to previous legendaries, they have been restricted in the combinations of their perks. Many players are not pleased with this.
What exactly is the problem with the legendary weapons from S10? In short: Apparently, it is not possible for any of the 21 new and returning legendary weapons from Season 10 to have a perk for faster reloads roll simultaneously with a damage bonus perk – neither with the returning faction weapons, nor with the Trials guns or the Seraph weapons.
Many players noticed this when they were searching the popular info site light.gg for possible perk combinations for the new weapons.
If you have a reload perk like Outlaw on the weapon, you can no longer get a damage perk on the weapon – such as Kill Clip or Rampage. Thus, many popular and strong perk combos are not possible with the new weapons.
Are my old GoD rolls at risk? No, this change has only been observed with the new weapons and those from Season 10. All rolls before this time remain intact.
What do the players say? Many Guardians do not like this change at all. The new legendary weapons are inferior to the previous ones in this regard except for their higher power level, which diminishes the incentive to even chase them, according to many players.
Especially the fact that there is only one new ritual weapon this season makes this situation even more disappointing for some Guardians. There is hardly anything worth grinding for.
Some are also annoyed as they think this change was made due to the return of Trials to better control balance there.
Only the Seraph weapons and their Warmind cell mechanic (kills can spawn cells that trigger the artifact mods of Season 10 in your armor) are seen by some players as a silver lining among the new weapons in the Season of Worthy and as a kind of consolation for the limited perk combos.
What do you think of this step? Is it good that Bungie is trying to break old structures and make players more open to new perk combos? Or do you see this development critically?
