Because it's a tough reward to earn from a high-level activity, it needs to have some prestige about it and feel like it's worthy of the effort you'll need to expend to get it. Tweaking Mythoclast is tough for Bungie, because the Exotic weapon is a raid reward-but one drops randomly for players.
#Nerf games pc update#
The update bumps that to three, meaning that you'll need to stay alive longer and fight harder in order to earn Overcharge shots. Before the update, killing two enemy Guardians was enough to unlock the Overcharge mode on Mythoclast. It'll also be harder to power up the Overcharge ability in order to get the one-hit-kill linear fusion shots with the gun. The gun will remain as powerful if you land your shots, but landing those shots will be a bit tougher. So the Aim Assist changes should lessen the ease with which players can use the gun against opponents.
With the Overcharge mode, landing that headshot guaranteed a kill.
For the last few months, Vex Mythoclast's stats in this regard have felt pretty high, making it a bit easier for players to pile up a lot of quick headshots with the gun. Aim Assist helps your shots hit their targets, even if your aim isn't perfect. Mythoclast sports two firing modes-an auto rifle-like automatic mode and a linear fusion rifle-like Overcharge shot that can kill with a single headshot. Now requires three player kills for full Overcharge instead of two.
