Bungie has confirmed more buffs not mentioned in the newest TWID, and they have also announced a nerf for a popular but OP weapon archetype. While most of the balance changes look good on paper, Destiny 2 players are once again begging Bungie to revert a nerf that feels like s*** from last year.Destiny 2 players plead with Bungie to revert Osteo Striga nerfDestiny 2 fans are again urging Bungie to revert nerfs for the Osteo Striga. This comes via a new post shared on Reddit by ERI-223 that simply begs the developer to remove the poison activation cd.This seems to be in relation to the nerf that happened with The Final shape. For The Final Shape, Bungie implemented a nerf that resulted in the weapon acquiring a 4-second cooldown for the poison burst on kills, although this cooldown doesnt apply to poison burst sustained from damage.Back in June of last year, there were complaints that the nerf was too aggressive, and that the weapon now feels terrible. There were calls for Bungie to revert the nerf during The Final Shape, and similar calls have carried all the way over into 2025.Although its been nerfed for several months now, a lot of fans are still not happy. One user remarked that, following the nerf, the gun really went from my favorite to deleted.Another user argues that it feels like s*** to use now, and that the nerf wasnt deserved because Khostov was much better than the Osteo at the point of Final Shapes release.Another user has bemoaned Bungie for always [being] super overhanded with cooldown limitations [such as] stasis fragment of impetus (or facet of command?) going to 12s, then buffed back to 5s.The user also said Osteo was great- but not end-all meta and 4 seconds [cooldown] is ridiculous for an over-time effect which basically completely removed it from anything but a fun gun.Unfortunately, despite the loud cries for Bungie to revert the nerf, its highly unlikely to happen as its been several months. Its also not listed amongst any of the mega buffs announced for Episode Heresy.For more Destiny 2, check out the 2025 roadmap along with the new Episode Heresy weapons.Destiny 2Platform(s):Google Stadia, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Web, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/XGenre(s):Action, Adventure, First Person, Massively Multiplayer, Shooter8VideoGamerSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
