While previous expansions shifted focus between the raids, competitive multiplayer, or other activities as the primary way to increase your character’s level and collect the best gear, Rise of Iron has taken steps to re-balance the Destiny playing field. And, like all expansions, it also adds an impressive amount of new gear to the mix, too. The fourth expansion to the Destiny in two years, Rise of Iron updates nearly every facet of the Destiny environment with a new story campaign, social space, level cap, raid, and PvP modes and maps. It’s been two years since Activision and Bungie began their grand experiment with an open-world, multiplayer sci-fi shooter, and Destiny is still going strong. But before Bungie decides and does something, players will have to live with the Lord of Wolves running rampant in PvP. In the meantime, many players are hoping for some kind of quick solution with some suggesting that the weapon be disabled in PvP like Trials of Osiris Flawless or even giving everyone the weapon like Bungie did when the Prometheus Lens exotic was broken. Since Bungie sees the problem, hopefully, the issue will be fixed. This is a blunt tool, and basically banning an item from being equipped isn’t something we take lightly.”

“Internally, we had a bunch of spirited debate this week around whether or not we should just prevent players from equipping Lord of Wolves throughout the game.

“We don’t want these periods to last too long (post-Forsaken launch Voidlocks), but they can be memorable moments.” “Sometimes, Destiny is going to have goofy outliers, or periods of time where something is OP (like the Wolves howling right now in IB on PC),” creative director Luke Smith said. Right now, however, the issue “didn’t rise up to meet the bar of ‘this is broken enough to turn it off in all activities'”. They admitted that “the most recent changes to Lord of Wolves created a monster” and the team is looking to reduce the damage resistance later this year. And now the game’s developer, Bungie, has responded to the numerous complaints about the weapon. The exotic, which was recently updated, has resulted in a weapon that has an incredibly fast time to kill, insane range, and generous ammo. There are many complaints from Destiny 2 fans that the game’s PvP experience is ruined, thanks to the Lord of Wolves exotic shotgun.
