Eriana’s Vow once dominated Destiny 2’s PvE meta—now players are desperate for a buff

Eriana’s Vow was once omnipresent in endgame PvE for Destiny 2. If an activity had Champions in it, Eriana’s Vow was practically mandatory. Yet in 2024, as more weapons have colonized its role, the Exotic has become a shadow of its former self, to the point players are demanding buffs.

“It’s such a unique weapon, it’s a shame that it hasn’t seen any buffs in the last years,” reads one recent post to the Destiny 2 subreddit, which had a simple solution to kickstart its recovery in the sandbox: allow Eriana’s Vow to destroy Barrier Champions’ shields in one hit. After all, it’s now one of the only anti-Barrier weapons of its kind that can’t. Eriana’s Vow was strong back when it was the only Exotic that could easily dispatch barriers, but weapons like Arbalest have been buffed over the years to the point they now all outclass the original tool built to take down those enemies.
