Destiny Digest #133: Recon's Buff Will Do What!?
from Destiny Digest
THIS WEEK: Marathon has been out almost a month and we're starting to get glimpses of what future updates will come to Bungie's Extraction Shooter. Tuning for the Biotoxic Disinjector has already arrived, but is it still overpowered? Will nerfing the Runner's Knife truly change close quarters combat? Will Recon & Vandal's buffs be enough to get players to pick those shells over established favorites? Epicdan22 & Danfinity yap about all this and Warlock's seeming stranglehold on Destiny 2's 2026 Guardian Games! | SOURCES | Joe Ziegler Balance Shakeup Tweet: https://x.com/Ziegler_Dev/status/2039475597634867361 Joe Ziegler Biotoxic Disinjector Tweet: https://x.com/Ziegler_Dev/status/2040227624535101570 Marathon Development Team's Bluesky Thread: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:kylvctgdfgeob4zxus7ix6vv/post/3mik4c4zibs2i This Week in Destiny - 04/02/2026: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid-04-02-2026 Destiny Digest is a weekly Destiny 2 podcast covering game updates, community conversations, sandbox discussion, and news from across the gaming world.
