In Destiny, numerous new perks have been discovered in the database that are set to come with “The Rise of Iron”.
A weapon in Bungie’s MMO shooter is only as strong as the perks it possesses. These extra bonuses are randomly distributed across most weapons. The Exotics, however, have fixed, exotic perks.
As clever Guardians have discovered in the databases, there will be a variety of fresh perks in “Rise of Iron”. If you go to the weapon vault on bungie.net, select the perks, and enter the respective perk name, they are already suggested. However, it also states: “No Items found”. Therefore, let’s see what the data miners brought to light.
Virulence – The perk of the exotic pulse rifle in RoI
We have already reported on a new exotic pulse rifle that will come with RoI and reminds us of the community weapon “Price of Exile”. In videos of this weapon, it can be seen that it sends out red “SIVA bombs” upon precision kills, which attack the nearest enemy.
A perk that exhibits exactly these characteristics has now been discovered: Virulence. It is among the six most exciting new perks that users have discovered:
The other 5 perks:
- Speed Demon: Increased sprint speed. Increased movement speed while aiming your weapon, and tighter turn radius when sprinting.
- The Corruption Spreads: Enemies that take multiple hits from this weapon spawn SIVA bombs that attack other enemies. The Fallen take extra damage.
- Extinction Cycle: When you pull the trigger, the first shot has a higher rate of fire.
- Strange Gravity: When you hold the trigger down, range and precision increase, but the rate of fire decreases. Kills grant additional grenade energy.
- Howling Flames: You unleash a fiery “Solar Eruption” that weakens enemies and deals damage over time.
