Bungie, the developer of Destiny 2, recently released a new update that nerfed the Shatterdive ability introduced in the Beyond Light expansion. While Shatterdive now deals falloff damage against an unfrozen opponent, its damage range got severely slashed from 50 to 5. Whisper of Fissures also received a major nerf where both damage and detonation radius got reduced.
But the dev team has optimized lighting on PC to reduce GPU load and increase performance. They also fixed an annoying bug where clan rosters would not load properly on PS5.
