Destiny: Hotfix schwächt Automatik & Vex, verhindert snipern auf den Templar (“Die gläserne Kammer”)

Das für gestern vorgesehene Hotfix “1.0.2.2” soll laut Bungie primär die Balance zwischen den Waffen in Destiny verbessern:

Automatikgewehre  – und vor allem die durchschlagende Vex Mythoclast – werden im Grundschaden abgeschwächt, Schrotgewehre auf Langdistanz. Dafür bekommen “Scouts” etwas mehr Grundschaden, die Hand-Cannon ist genauer bei “In-Air”-Schüssen. Auch dem “Farmen” wird ein Riegel vorgeschoben, besser gesagt dem “Rocket Yard” aka “Loot Cave 2.0” – dort gibt’ demnächst nicht mehr viel zu holen. Und wer den Templar-Boss im “Die-Gläserne-Kammer”-Raid gern aus der Distanz mit der Sniper traktierte, muss diese Strategie jetzt überdenken – bestimmten Sniper-Plattformen wurde jetzt ein “Kill Volume” zugefügt.
