Destiny 2's Quicksilver Storm Exotic Bug Fix Coming In This Week's Update

gamespot.com:

Update: Bungie has confirmed a fix for two bugged Destiny 2 Exotic weapons--Quicksilver Storm and Touch of Malice--is on the way in an update releasing this week. As noted below, both weapons have been dealing less damage than intended against minor enemies (those with red health bars), which is particularly problematic given the clock is ticking on this season's Artifact mods, which pair nicely with Quicksilver Storm. Players have also reported dealing less damage with Quicksilver Storm after equipping its catalyst, which changes the weapon's damage type to Strand. It's unclear if that trade-off is intended or not, but the gun should at least be more viable soon. The original story follows.

Quicksilver Storm, one of the more versatile Exotic weapons in Destiny 2, has been broken since the launch of the Lightfall expansion. A Kinetic-slot auto rifle that can also fire homing rockets and can be transformed into a grenade launcher, the current issue with this weapon is that it has lost its 40% damage boost against red bar--AKA cannon fodder--enemies.

Bungie did acknowledge this on Lightfall launch day, but since then, the company has kept quiet on what the root cause of the issue is with this Exotic weapon and when a fix can be expected. When pressed for answers on Reddit, Bungie simply replied that it has «required more time than desired to solve» and that Quicksilver Storm is a «complicated» weapon to fix.
