Shadowkeep was released two months ago on October 1, 2019, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. With that, Bungie introduced a ton of new features to the game which was received very well by the community. The new Armor 2.0 update allowed players to create random builds with new mods. Grinding the infinite Power Level with the new artifact system also came in handy for gamers who just love the grind in Destiny 2. Along with all of that, Bungie also added new exotic weapons and armor pieces. Talking about new exotics, one of the most unique heavy machine guns in Destiny 2 was pretty underwhelming when players first used it – Xenophage.
Destiny 2: Xenophage – Heavy Machine Gun Got 50% Buff
Bungie released a new sandbox update 2.7.0 with the release of the new season in Destiny 2 – Season of Dawn. Players have been requesting Bungie to buff Xenophage as it was pretty useless at the time and they did. With this new update, Xenophage now has a 50% Damage increase in PvE. Check out the exotics patch notes below:
Exotics
- Divinity
- Divinity’s weaken effect no longer stacks with other weaken effects. The “cage” will still appear in these cases and act as a precision weak spot, but the weaken multipliers themselves will no longer stack.
- Xenophage
- Increased PvE damage by +50%
- Increased PvP ammo from heavy ammo crates to 4/6 (previously 3/4) on shared/non shared crates, respectively
- Fixed an issue where this weapon would gain overall ammo when swapping from another power weapon to this weapon
- Leviathan’s Breath
- Fixed an issue where this weapon would gain overall ammo when swapping from another power weapon to this weapon
- Cerberus+1
- Fixed an issue where repeatedly pulling the trigger would give you a faster fire rate while the “Focused Fire” Catalyst was enabled
- Eriana’s Vow
- Increasing the reserves for this weapon via armor perks no longer increases starting/respawn ammo in The Crucible
- Monte Carlo
- The “Monte Carlo Method” no longer has a 100% chance to trigger on Guardian kills and now matches the combatant chance.
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is now live on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, released on October 1, 2019, and November 20, 2019, on Google Stadia.
