Destiny 2 Patch Nerfs Renewal Grasps

gamespot.com:

The last couple of months have seen a steady flow of new patches ready for Destiny 2 after its weekly update has gone live, and like clockwork, there's a new update that has been applied to the game.

While the patch deals with the usual technical maintenance that provides plenty of stability for the game, there are some interesting tweaks to take notice of. In the Exotic department, a lingering issue with Synthoceps has been fixed as there were reports of the Biotic Enhancements perk preventing the shattering of an encased player with an uncharged melee.

Renewal Grasps on the other hand have been dealt a heavy nerf as the Hunter gauntlets will now more than double the cooldown period for Duskfield grenades. On top of that, the outgoing damage penalty applied to players affected by a Duskfield grenade has been cut down significantly as well.

Elsewhere in the patch notes, The Summoner auto rifle should sport a Masterwork tier when obtained from Saint-14, Gambit bugs have been addressed, and a few abilities have been modified. You can read the full patch notes below.

Big changes are on the horizon for Destiny 2, as a recent update from Bungie outlined some fascinating experiments in Gambit labs, a new focus on investing in airborne combat, and massive buffs planned for a few forgotten Exotic weapons. You can catch up on this and more in the latest Iron Banter column.
