The Witch Queen is looking to be a huge turning point for Destiny 2 once it releases next year, and part of the many updates that will come with that expansion are the Destiny 2 Exotic changes, some of which were teased by Bungie in their latest weekly update. Head on down below for a small glimpse into the future of Exotics in Destiny 2.

The pertinent section for these changes was the last one, taglined ‘SOON (TEE EM).’
The team has been hard at work over the last few months planning some special things for the 30th Anniversary release. Not just in content, but also some quality-of-life updates. Cozmo and I have been responding to a few questions here and there about bug fixes, like a pass on Dunemarchers chain lightning, some aim-assist tuning on Vex Mythoclast (which will help keep the weapon viable in PvE while addressing some PvP concerns), and even a fix for those pesky “Valor Overflowing” screens that occasionally pop up in the middle of your Crucible matches. Our upcoming patch is more than just bug fixes, though. The team was able to squeeze in a little time for other bits of Exotic weapon tuning as they transition to fully focus on The Witch Queen.
The section specifically called out two Exotics, namely the Dunemarchers and the Vex Mythoclast, both of which are popping off hard in the Crucible as well as other events. Players can look forward to some changes coming to these Destiny 2 Exotic items in the future. In addition to Exotics, Bungie also shared their thoughts on the ‘Valor Overflowing’ screens, an issue that has been starting to pick up traction for some time now.
Now, don’t get me wrong – this isn’t a full Season’s worth of buffs, but a handful of fun things to give some Exotics a fighting chance in a given Guardian’s loadout. I’ve heard whispers of a few changes that have already got me thinking about switching things up. I’ve also seen a few previews of upcoming Exotic ornaments that I just need to get my hands on.
The next section is a bit more ambiguous, but speculating further the ‘whispers’ part may be referring to Whisper of the Worm, one of the more enduring Exotics in Destiny 2. Overall, Bungie is hoping that these changes will make some Exotics a much more viable option in many Guardians’ loadouts.
