The Exotic sniper rifle now deals 33 percent less damage with Celestial Nighthawk and won’t benefit from Sniper’s Meditation.
he latest update for Bungieâs Destiny 2 is out now, and as promised, it nerfs the Exotic sniper rifle Still Hunt, obtained from The Final Shape. It now deals 33 percent reduced damage, but only for Hunters using Celestial Nighthawk. Sniperâs Meditation will no longer buff Still Huntâs regular Golden Gun shots either, though, in terms of single-target damage, the weapon will still be a fixture in some raid encounters.
As for other fixes, Point-Contact Cannon Brace wonât create lightning strikes on âunintended melees.â Those who found that Xurâs Strange Favor buff wasnât providing additional Strange Coins during Ritual activities should also see it fixed. Receiving all Lost Ghost quests from Micah-10 will also remove the Ghost Tracker message.
Check out the full update notes below for more details. Destiny 2 is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC.
