Bungie added new mods in Destiny 2 with the new season that can be unlocked through the Seasonal Artifact. A certain mod could change everything in the endgame again. We at MeinMMO show you which artifact mod that is.
What are Seasonal Mods? These special mods are included in the seasonal artifact and can be unlocked by collecting XP. The difference from regular mods is that they are specifically designed for certain builds, making it easier to tackle the endgame and giving you advantages that definitely help you in Destiny 2.
This is what the new mod can do: Guardians who played with “Breach and Clear” in the last season will love the new mod “Particle Deconstruction” for the artifact “Pathfinder’s Compass”.
This mod increases your damage when you deal damage to the same target with a fusion rifle. This damage buff can be stacked 5 times and results in a massive increase in damage.
But that’s not all. This mod also has a debuffing effect. Shots with your fusion rifle weaken the target. Thus, it becomes more vulnerable to damage and also receives the damage buff of the mod itself.
To illustrate what the mod can do, we link here a video by KackisHD, who shows what the mod can do to bosses:
According to KackisHD, the stacking buff for fusion rifles applies to everyone in the fireteam. So if one of your teammates shoots a boss with a fusion rifle, he can stack the damage buff up to 5 times, ensuring that the rest of the fireteam benefits from the maximum buff.
The weapons work very well with the mod:
- Vex Mythoclast
- Sleeper Simulant
- One Thousand Voices
- Needle’s Eye
- Inexorable
- Merciless
Here’s how you can effectively use the mod: If you have a good fusion rifle in the special slot, use it and first ensure the stacked buff.
You can combine Merciless with Needle’s Eye, for example. If you have a roll with auto-loading holster and vorpal weapon, all the better. You shoot your Merciless at the boss, get the necessary stackable buff, and then switch to Needle’s Eye and hit it with everything you’ve got. This way, you can achieve maximum damage.
Fusion rifles could become the meta in PvE
This is the hint given by the new mod: It is becoming apparent that in Season 15 of Destiny 2, fusion rifles could define the endgame. Right now, it seems like fusion rifles will be the new meta weapons in PvE. But not just regular ones, but also linear fusion rifles.
This is evident from the new mod “Particle Deconstruction” and the Update 3.3.0: The update and mod favor fusion rifle types with a damage increase of 15%.
What do you think of such mods that give you options for destructive builds? Do you think it brings a refresh to the PvE meta, or do you remain loyal to your Anarchy? Let us know.
