Destiny 2 4.1.5 Patch Notes Buff 180 RPM Hand Cannons, Adjust Airborne Effectiveness
Bungie has released a new Destiny 2 update, version 4.1.5, and it includes a number of notable changes.

The same is true for 180 RPM Precision and 150 RPM High Impact scout rifles, which see distinct damage buffs.
