Destiny balances weapons, shuts down another loot cave

4.8
Bungie updated Destiny to balance some of its weapons and fix a few bugs today. For starters, the developer swatted a bug where the Valkyrie-O5X ship appeared to be the same as the Aurora Lance and fixed issues related to quick weapon swapping. The base damage of scout rifles were increased six percent, whereas the damage of all auto rifles as well as the Vex Mythoclast was decreased two percent and 34 percent, respectively.

The developer also shut down another loot cave, one located in the rocket yard area of the game. The hot new treasure farming spot, a room where Fallen enemies consistently spawned, surfaced after Bungie closed the first loot cave. "The Fallen have also retreated from their hold over the Rocket Yard to discuss a new takeover plan," Bungie wrote in its update notes. For now, Destiny looters will have to take the stairs, if you catch our drift.

A 34% decrease in damage for the Mythoclast is way too much. Those who earned the weapon deserve it's original damage because the hard raid is nearly impossible and a worthy reward is deserved.

Honestly, they nerfed the Mythoclast too much.

All I've heard about this game so far is that it's been having many issues and being abused, which I find hilarious. The game doesn't even look great and it's going to die down pretty quickly and in all honesty, the quicker it does, the better.

They should just completely remove them all honestly.

My god i'm so sick of people whining over the vex. The game literally handed over the suros regime when Xur sold it, which 9 out of 10 times, granted the user has any sort of skill, beats the vex in any range combat. Oh but god forbid I have a gun that I earned with blood sweat and tears and it actually be good cuz whiny bitches can't have it, so they throw a massive fit over it being a good weapon. I mean it's only the hardest gun to get but whatever.

Buncez I personally don't see the point in the loot caves as the game really isn't that hard anyway. However, someone always wants to be the best at a game so will do anything to rank up quickly.


The game isn't hard at all. Just the RNG is awful. You can run level 20/22/24/26/28 raids and get level 20 gear. The loot caves just made the game easier since you could just chill and talk with friends while getting things you needed.

Instead of trying really hard in a 26 raid for an hour to just be rewarded with a level 20 green engram or no loot at all.

Then there's crucible. Sigh. You can go 200 - 0, win the game 1 - 6 ( basically ) while the rest of your team go 0 - 30 and no doubt they'll all get exotics and you'll get some nasty looking armor shade.

CokaCola Wow i did not even know there was loot caves, What exactly are the loot caves?


Basically you can stand in a spot and you or you and a group of people will just constantly shoot in to this one spot where the enemies will just constantly spawn and essentially you spawn trap them which means you get lots of kills in a quick and easy way which means you will more than likely get some legendary engrams and level up quickly
