Destiny 2: Beyond Light Brings Nerfs For Falling Guillotine, Ruinous Effigy, And More

The Destiny 2: Beyond Light expansion is almost here and a ton of changes are making their way into the Bungie shooter to make room. From vaulted content to new stories, there's a lot of shakeups happening soon and unfortunately, that means nerfs. The Falling Guillotine sword is among the weapons getting nerfed with a new update dropping soon. Here's what you need to know about what's getting nerfed in Destiny 2. 

Mountaintop, Falling Guillotine, and Ruinous Effigy are getting that nerf action and as a big fan of the very powerful sword, I'm a little sad. But changes, they are necessary, so here's what you need to know about how these three weapons are getting nerfed down, and which ones are just going through a few little evolutionary changes: 

Mountaintop  

• We've had a ton of feedback that Mountaintop feels a bit over the top in Crucible modes. This Pinnacle weapon has had ample time to shine, so we’re taking it down a notch. 


• Specific pain points:  
  
  • A one-shot body shot with infinite range. 
  
  
  • Quick and easy cleanup of wounded Guardians, even around corners. 
  
  
  • Deals high splash damage, rewarding players for inaccuracy. 
  
  
  • Perfect in-air accuracy allows airborne Guardians to rain down death, and there’s not much grounded Guardians can do to respond. 
  
  


• Here are the changes intended to address those points: 
  
  • Reduced splash damage by 33 percent, increased impact damage such that total damage is 5 percent lower than before. 
  
  
  • Reduced projectile velocity multiplier from the Micro-Missile perk from 1.4 to 1.2. (i.e., now 20 percent faster than other breech Grenade Launchers instead of 40 percent). 
  
  
  • Reduced in-air accuracy. Now has significant projectile error while in-air (around 7 degrees without the Icarus Grip mod, substantially less with). 
  
  

Falling Guillotine 

• Reduced heavy attack damage by ~24 percent to bring in line with other Swords. 


• Note: Falling Guillotine will continue to be slightly above average, just not to the extent that it is now. 

MIDA Multi-Tool and MIDA Mini-Tool

• MIDA Mini-Tool


• Moved the "Mida Synergy" trait to the intrinsic, similar to how the (Baroque) version works


• Added the following perks:
  


• NOTE: There is an issue with the masterwork on this weapon that prevents it from being upgraded. This will be fixed in a later update.


• NOTE: The Gunsmith will begin selling a version of this weapon on November 10 with no infusion cap.

Sturm and Drang

• Drang
  
  • Moved the "Together Forever" trait to the intrinsic, similar to how the (Baroque) version works
  
  
  • Added the following perks:
  
  
  • Accurized Rounds
  
  
  • Moving Target
  
  


• NOTE: There is an issue with the masterwork on this weapon that prevents it from being upgraded. This will be fixed in a later update.


• NOTE: The Gunsmith will begin selling a version of this weapon on November 10 with no infusion cap.

Ruinous Effigy

• Transmutation Spheres
