Destiny Drops patch 2.5.0.2 sandbox updade!

Today Valentines day 2017 Bungee released a new patch for Destiny that they hope will sway the staggering amount of players using shotguns in the pvp game mode known as crucible. Even though this was a self inflicted problem created by Bungee after they noticed that shotguns were so bad in year one, that no one so much as considered using them. Bungees approach to weapon balancing has been at best comical as they nerf away at entire weapon archetypes instead of targeting problem weapons. In turn another weapon type always comes out on top thus changing the meta. Shotguns were a big problem so they removed the precision damage and the in air accuracy.They also changed special ammo all together making it so when you die you lose any special ammo reserve. This will no doubt create shotgun campers while punishing snipers and fusion rifle users and apparently side arms aren't affected.

Patch notes Shotguns Significantly decreased magnetism/AA when firing from the hip. Decreased in-air accuracy. Removed precision damage from shotguns.
