Destiny 2 nerfs auto rifles in PvP only 2 weeks after massive sandbox updates

Destiny 2’s Update 7.3.5 on March 5 brought with it a complete overhaul to the Crucible experience. Since then, auto rifles have swiftly become the most popular weapon of choice across all game modes. In fact, they’ve oversaturated the meta to the point Bungie has already announced nerfs.

The Destiny 2 PvP Strike Team broke down the details in a This Week in Destiny blog released today, March 21. The developers are already in the process of “fine tuning” the new sandbox ready for the upcoming Update 7.3.6, and the biggest talking point was one specific weapon archetype. “It’s very clear that some auto rifles are outperforming the competition in the mid-range, with Precision auto rifles in general being outliers,” the blog reads.
