Destiny 2 Players Point Out The Witch Queen Warlock Exotic Could Break the Crucible

gamerant.com:

There are less than two weeks left forDestiny 2's big yearly release in the form of The Witch Queen expansion, which will take players into Savathun's Throne World, leading them into a fight against the Lucent Brood — Hive Lightbearers with powers mirroring those of the Guardians. To fight them, players will enlist the Cabal empress Caiatl in the premise of Season of the Risen, obtaining the Light-suppressing technology developed by Psions during the events of Season of the Chosen. This includes the new seasonal artifact that Destiny 2 players will be able to wield, as seen from the new footage for the expansion.

Of course, an arsenal of new tools of destruction will also help Guardians uncover the mysteries of Savathun's Throne World and fight the Hive Lightbearers, with The Witch Queen introducing over 50 weapons and several Exotic guns. Furthermore, every class will be getting two Exotics: a Stasis one and a Light one. Destiny 2's new Exotic weapons and armor pieces will have an impact on the game's meta to a degree, but players seem to agree that one of the recently revealed ones will be particularly nasty in the Crucible.

During Bungie's ViDoc: Light in the Darkness, a new Warlock Exotic was revealed along with exclusive footage, and while it was only referred to as «Devouring Rift,» that's likely not going to be its final name. Still, the Exotic seemingly works with Void subclasses, and it makes Empowering Rift a much more reliable choice even in high-end content by allowing it to heal players standing in it, while also increasing the damage they deal. However, players are pointing out that this might break Destiny 2's Crucible matches.
