Currently, in Destiny 2, Warlocks are the biggest fire starters. The burn damage is bugged. However, players love the glitch, and we will show you which Exotics you should definitely exploit right now.
This class causes chaos: Warlocks, the space mages, are bugged. A glitch makes Warlocks in Destiny 2 the new melee kings, hitting so hard that entire hordes of enemies melt away.
Initially, players assumed it was a bug with the exotic gloves Necrotic Grip. But that is not the case. Rather, the lower tree of the Dawnblade is the problem.
What is the “problem”? The ability “Firepower” causes defeating burning fighters to make enemies explode. The burn damage counts from all sources as melee damage.
This allows area-wide fire effects to be triggered, which otherwise would require punching an enemy in the face. By combining with various Exotics and weapons, the “melee fire” can spread as a chain reaction throughout an entire area.
Players joke: “Warlock will be disabled soon!
Normally, players of Destiny 2 believe that developer Bungie should patch glitches immediately – after all, they disrupt gameplay. However, the fiery Warlock glitch is simply too much fun. Especially the combination of poisoning and burning brings a broad smile to the faces of Warlock players. Also, because they know that with this combo, Titans are no longer the best melee slayers.
This is what the Guardians are saying:
The player R3Tr_0 writes on YouTube: “Hopefully they don’t fix this, it’s only practical in PVE and actually makes some Exotics worth using.”
The Guardian Albtraum mentioned that this combo is the most fun: “Necrotic Grips are my absolute favorite combination … it’s just so much fun to see all the pretty colors of the poison fire explosions..“
Use these Exotics and weapons while you can
The Dawnblade can currently be combined with all Warlock Exotics that enhance melee abilities. Depending on your preferred playstyle, you can combine the following Exotics with the Super:
- Necrotic Grip:
- Dealing damage to fighters poisons them, and this damage grows over time. When a poisoned fighter is defeated, the state spreads to nearby targets.
- Using your melee causes your opponents to suffer doubly. They are poisoned and burning.
- Solar Arms:
- Increases the duration of Solar grenades and Solar melee hits grant unlimited Solar grenade energy for a short time.
- Just with the melee, you trigger a chain reaction. And that can be continued afterwards with the grenades.
- Karnstein Armlets:
- Melee kills restore a large part of health immediately and continue to heal for a short time.
- By frequently using the melee ability, you constantly heal yourself.
- Winter’s Howl:
- Eliminating enemies with melee attacks increases melee damage.
- This buff can be quickly stacked to maximum due to the glitch, causing immense damage.
- Fellwinter’s Helm:
- Charged melee death blows create an energy surge that weakens nearby targets.
- Finishers and death blows against more powerful targets enlarge the radius and extend the weakening effect.
- This can also spread rapidly throughout an entire area, chaining kills together. Who would have thought that this almost forgotten Exotic would make a comeback thanks to a glitch?
- The effect also applies to the weapon perk Brawler: Every kill is also counted as melee and increases weapon damage.
How well the various combinations work has been shown by the YouTuber Ehroar in one of his latest videos:
For now you can try all builds: As of now, September 25, 2021, all mentioned Exotics are neither disabled nor has Bungie commented on the faulty Warlock class.
Is Bungie losing track of its own game?
The freedom to combine everything will inevitably lead to problems. Especially seasonal mods and new Exotics often break the game with intense effects and combination possibilities.
This is what they’re complaining about: Players wonder if Bungie has even tried out all these combinations themselves before they go into the game. The criticism: “Bungie does not play its own game!” For many, the numerous bugs can only be explained this way.
Also in the current Season 15, there were some such glitches that destroyed the game – sometimes to the advantage and sometimes to the detriment of the Guardians:
- Glitch makes Destiny 2 even more of an MMO – Allows raids with 12 people
- A weapon is cursed in Destiny 2 – Even in Season 15, Telesto must be disabled
- Destiny 2 removes 2 Exotics because raid bosses are melting and Hunters dominate PvP
- New glitch in Destiny 2 breaks Falcon Moon, gives infinite super shots
On the other hand, it must be mentioned objectively that Bungie has significantly increased its patch pace compared to previous years since Beyond Light and regularly makes changes even in the middle of a season. In the currently very popular Trials, changes are implemented week by week, and it is noticeable that feedback is taken to heart. This week a experimental mode is even coming.
Surely, bugs will continue to sneak into the game. But it is precisely these glitches that players have a lot of fun with.
Do you also think that Bungie should leave these glitches in the game longer for more fun to arise? Or do you think such things should not happen at all? And of course, the question to the Warlocks among you: Are you already grinning?
