Skip To...

Every time Destiny 2 comes out with a new expansion, Season, or in this case, a new Episode, there are some pretty notable changes that happen with tuning all across the board. This time around, in Episode Revenant, there will be some massive Exotic Armor tuning changes happening. Let’s take a look at everything that’s going down with our Exotic Armor in Destiny 2‘s Episode Revenant.

Airborne Effectiveness bonus is active whenever a Hand Cannon is equipped, not just when the Illegally Modded Holster buff is active.
No longer requires the Hand Cannon to be matched to the Super damage type or Kinetic to receive the PvE damage buff.
Out of Luck cooldown will only trigger if you reach seven stacks of the PvE damage buff before swapping off the weapon or time expires.
Maximum damage has been decreased from 600% to 450%.

Cadmus Ridge Lancecap

Removed the Stasis weapon requirement.Now any final blows or rapid precision hits while behind a rally barricade (and with a Stasis Super equipped) will create a Diamond Lance near you.
Directly hitting any powerful combatant with a Diamond Lance will now create three Stasis crystals (previously only bosses and vehicles would create additional crystals).

Ursa Furiosa & Spirit of the Bear

Increased maximum Super energy gain for Unbreakable in PvE from 15% to 20%.
Fixed an issue where you were gaining more Super energy from Unbreakable in PvP than intended. Now provides a maximum of 10%.

Cuirass of the Falling Star

Melee final blows while amplified now grant Super energy.
