The promised Destiny 2 Prometheus Lens nerf is about to make the gun intentionally “way too weak,” Bungie says.
The “bugged” weapon has been causing havoc in the game’s PvP Crucible mode, wiping enemies out with devastating speed. Now, that’s all about to change.
With the implementation of the 1.1.1.1 patch, the Prometheus Lens will be made “way too weak,” before being given “a proper, play-tested design pass” in January.
As ‘Laser Tag’ weekend comes to a close, we’re making good on our promise to address the fact that Prometheus Lens is way too powerful. Sure it’s fun, but it breaks the Crucible for anyone who wants to use a different weapon. (1/1)

Given the short window we had to make an emergency fix, it will be adjusted to be way too weak. In January, this new Exotic will receive a proper, play-tested design pass. (2/2)

With Xur selling the weapon, most players picked it up, making for a crazy weekend of “Laser Tag.” That fun will soon end, however, with only those looking to challenge themselves continuing to use the weapon post-patch.
Did you buy the Prometheus Lens? Sad to see it getting nerfed? Let us know.
In other Destiny 2 news, the game’s future updates were detailed in a “State of the Game” overview, a limited edition loot crate is now available to pre-order, and a Destiny 2 free trial is now available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Call me crazy, but one would think it would have received a “proper play-tested pass” before it was released.
I thought having Xur sell it and giving it to anyone who wanted it was the best nerf ever, why change it now.
