Destiny 2 is changing the good gun you had when you airborne
🌐
Airborne combat has always been a big part of Destiny 2’s design, and this aspect of the game is about to change significantly in Season 17. For PvP players who often live in The Crucible and Trials of Osiris, these will be some big changes to how they build and invest in their Guardians, as airborne combat is a key strategy in Destiny 2’s multiplayer.
As detailed in Bungie’s latest weekly blog post, the studio will be making fundamental changes to the modifiers applied when airborne. The most obvious tweaks include a reduced randomness to the projectile accuracy of your primary weapon in most situations, but you’ll have less aim assist when you’re taking to the skies.
As part of this new focus, Bungie is adding a new weapon stat, “Airborne Effectiveness,” which appears on all viable weapons and maps to every aspect of the Airborne shootout. Depending on how much you put into this aspect of building Guardian, you can expect the following changes, according to Bungie:
Little to no investment (0-30 onboard data)
A character’s accuracy loss will be smaller than retail, but target assist hits are much lower.
Minimal investment (31-50 airborne stats)
The character’s aerial accuracy is about the same as the weapons currently equipped with Icarus, but the aim assist is significantly lower.
Heavy Investment (51-70 Airborne Stats)
Compared to using Icarus’ retail weapons, the character is more accurate, has fewer mistakes due to randomness, but also has less aim assist.
Professional Investment (71-99 Airborne Statistics)
Characters will not be penalized for aerial accuracy, and aim assist will be slightly less.
Fully invested (100 onboard stats)
Characters are not penalized for aerial accuracy and have the same aim assist.
According to Bungie, the way air stats work can be summed up as the aim assist cone penalty angle. There are a lot of numbers at play here, but the idea is that you’ll have fewer misses due to the randomness of the precision cone in the air, but the reliance on aiming is much higher at low stats. To make this easier, you need to focus on this in the Weapons, Subclasses and Armor categories in your Guardian build.
If you want high airborne efficiency around 70, you’ll need to go all out with a decent weapon with the Icarus grip perk, equip exotic armor that enhances those numbers, and fine-tune your subclass for the best possible airborne effectiveness .
It’s worth mentioning that all Exotic weapons, all items released in Season 16 and the upcoming Season 17, and all items that have ever been shipped as Trials of Osiris or Loot of Night have been checked against this statistic. manual adjustment. Older legendary weapons will have a default value that will be set slightly below the middle of the allowed stat range based on the weapon archetype.
Additionally, this will be a hidden stat at the start of Season 17, similar to aim assist and recoil direction. Starting in Season 18, several previously hidden stats will appear on the weapon inspection screen.
