Destiny 2 'Nerfs' Enhanced Eager Edge Perk Eliminating Movement Tech
The Eager Edge perk in Destiny 2 has been recently nerfed by Bungie. Previously, the perk allowed for enhanced movement capabilities for each of the main classes. Swords already give an edge to the user by allowing for a third-person view and high DPS. Eager Edge added a quick and easily exploitable method to dominate the battlefield with incredible speed. Even if the damage on a sword wasn’t great, the movement capabilities made it useful for running circles around enemies in Destiny 2.
Bungie is no stranger to nerfing popular mechanics and weapons in Destiny 2. Some nerfs were made to depower popular combinations, such as the tried and true Wormgod Caress-One Two Punch setup in Destiny 2. Other decisions included shelving many weapons that were far too potent and popular by simply rendering them useless after a certain period of time. If the Destiny 2 community finds something too strong, it’s certain that Bungie will do something about it.
