The patch notes for this week’s Destiny 2 update show that it’s largely focused on an Exotic weapon that has just received some substantial reworking. For once, we’re not discussing Telesto. Lord of Wolves was briefly removed from the game a few weeks ago when Bungie determined that it was causing significantly more damage than was anticipated.
When active, the strong shotgun has a perk that enables it to auto-fire a narrow spread of slugs, which has been fine-tuned to be more balanced in PvP activities. A 25% universal base damage benefit was removed and replaced with a 40% PvE buff, resulting in a large reduction in the gun’s ADS accuracy penalty. That solution, however, was only temporary, as Bungie discovered that Lord of Wolves was still inflicting too much damage on top of its Release the Wolves perk.
