Destiny 2 Episode Revenant: All New Weapon Mods and Perk Changes

Getting a Destiny 2 release, like the launch of Episode: Revenant, is always pretty exciting. Most of the time, among other notable changes and additions, it means that we’ll be getting new mods for our weapons that go along with the new season, episode, or expansion, and once in a while, there will be some changes to pre-existing perks. Now, these changes might not always be good, but let’s check out the new weapon mods and perk alterations featured in Episode: Revenant.

Weapon Perk Changes
