Destiny-2-players, pay attention! An exciting change is on the way that raises the shooting pleasure with shotguns to a whole new level. The rarely used exotic “No Plan B” has received a comprehensive update that increases your damage with shotguns by a whopping 35%.
Which exotic is now the new shotgun favorite? As soon as season 21 went online, guardians began testing Bungie’s changes. Here, there were some hot candidates that had the potential to shake up the meta significantly.
At the forefront: The exotic bow “Le Monarque” with the hunter exotic “Oathkeeper” and also the titan exotic “No Plan B”.
In the meantime, it is clear: “No Plan B” buffs shotguns by a whopping 35% due to Bungie’s changes. It’s no wonder that this news spread like wildfire after a vigilant guardian discovered and shared the remarkable change on Reddit. And the Destiny community on MeinMMO had already had the right instinct about this.
How does the exotic work in Season 21? Earlier, before its rework, the titan exotic “No Plan B” was hardly relevant. Shotgun kills only granted guardians a void overshield and consumed their melee energy.
Bungie has revamped the exotic for Season 21 as follows:
- “No Plan B” can increase the damage of any shotgun as soon as you have a void overshield (regardless of the source). Kills with shotguns restore the overshield.
- Furthermore, players using a void subclass and defeating multiple enemies or a powerful enemy can trigger health regeneration, which strongly resembles the void fragment “Echo of Restoration.”
- Additionally, there is increased reload speed for shotguns and a moderate improvement in effectiveness in the air.
“No Plan B” thus makes shotguns in Destiny 2 an even more dangerous weapon than they already were, whether you want to surprise your rivals in PvP battles or defeat powerful bosses in PvE activities.
Stacks even with waves: This modification will undoubtedly give you a significant advantage. Especially since it also stacks with the waves in Destiny 2. Something that leads many players to suspect that Bungie will need to adjust it soon to rein in the shotguns.
- In PvP, we’re talking about an average damage increase of 10%, which allows for much more consistency.
- In PvE, guardians receive the damage buff of 35%.
The player anonymous32434 sums it up perfectly on Reddit when he comments: “Two quick kills with a shotgun and the right siphon mod give you an overshield, a +35% buff on shotgun damage, an armor charge from the orb of power, and “Devour” with “Echo of Weakness”? Damn hype!”
Which shotguns pair well with the exotic? Currently, the exotic shotgun “Legend of Acrius” is especially a hot favorite among players. However, you can also try out your good old “Lord of Wolves”, the “Fourth Horseman” or even the new exotic shotgun from the Lightfall raid called “Conditional Finality”.
If you were thinking of the Tractor Cannon: No, the change has no effect here.
Have you already grabbed a shotgun and created a build with “No Plan B”? Then feel free to share your experiences in the comments. Or are you still on the other side of the shotgun barrel and find it unfair that Bungie has strengthened shotguns like this?
In addition to the exotic, the new season 21 in Destiny 2 has created an entirely new feeling:
