Bungie recently announced changes to armor mods in Destiny 2’s upcoming Season of the Wish, and the community has had mixed reactions. The changes aim to reduce ability energy sources and promote gunplay, but some players feel that the nerfs are too drastic.
One of the most notable changes is the addition of a 10-second cooldown to the Heavy Handed, Firepower, and Reaper mods. This cooldown has been deemed “ridiculous” by the community, with many suggesting that the mods should be made cheaper instead. Players are concerned that these nerfs will take away from the fun of build crafting, which has been a highlight of the game for many.
Other mods, such as Melee Kickstart, Grenade Kickstart, and Utility Kickstart, now require the consumption of at least one Armor Charge. Previously, the Armor Charge was optional and provided bonus energy. These changes are aimed at reducing ability spam and focusing more on gunplay.
While it’s understandable that Bungie wants to prioritize gunplay in Destiny 2, the 10-second cooldown may be too severe. Players suggest starting with a shorter cooldown and adjusting as needed. Additionally, there haven’t been any gunplay innovations announced yet to complement these nerfs.
Overall, the community is divided on the armor mod changes in Season of the Wish. Some appreciate the focus on gunplay, while others feel that the nerfs are excessive. Only time will tell how these changes will impact the game and if any adjustments will be made based on player feedback.
